Light, with dull weather and alight rain. Ar. , . _ LONDON, FRID.AY, JULY 11, 1856. " The compromise" has been quietly shelved. The Appellate Jurisdiction Bill has, thanks to the independent members of the House of Commons, been got rid of for Vle present session, and there is every reason to 'pope that, when next it makes its appearance, it - will be in a greatly improved form—one better suited to the real exigencies of the case and the - wants and wishes of the people. The more closely- we consider the matter in all its details the more earnest becomes our opposition to "the miserable measure," which appears to have been solebr framed for the purpose of grati fying aristocratic prejudices, and retaining the shadow of a jurisdiction, the substance whereof bad long since passed away, if it ever had any real existene,e, It must be obvious to any im partial observer that the idea of the House of Lords bei ag the Court of ultimate appeal is a palpable mockery and delusion—that it is a sham of the most transparent character, which, in place of adding to the dignity and importance of the body, materially derogates therefrom. What can be the opinions either of appellant or respondent ;gum he sees a noble " dummy," moose com pvdsory attendance is regarded as a bore of no ordinary magnitude, striving to divert his atten tion from the real business of the day, an-I not even listening to arguments which the unhappy litigant considers of vital importance, and on Which his future happiness may depend. He thinks of the enormous costs to which he has been subjected in order to obtain that hearing ; and whatever may be the result, a bitterness of feeling is engendered, which cannot easily be got rid of. Such a proceeding is, be yond anything, calculated to bring the majesty of the law into contempt and disrepute, and to ren der every suitor discontented and querulous. It was, indeed, highly ridiculous to suppose that a question of such magnitude could be dis posed of without fullinquiryand calm deliberation, at the fag end of the session. Their Lordshirs have not shown themselves very willing to listen to the "argumenettin ex necessitate," or to consi der that, because a grievance had beea esta- blished, a remedy, or quasi remedy, should forthwith he provided. They have unsparingly exercised the privilege of rejecting the best devised measures transmitted from the co-ordinate branch of the Legislature, and should not feel surprise or annoyance if they receive " tit for tat," or that a Commoner Roland be pitted against the Noble Oliver. The matter was one that required' mature deliberation and ample discussion, and if the Lower House had taken it on trust, and given a hasty and reckless sanction, it would have been guilty of an abdication of its constitutional functions, and proved itself unworthy of the position which it occupies in the State machine. of a compl e t e separation The wisdom and p o li cy of the judicial and political characters has long been recognised. The dignified and venerable Judges of the superior Courts of Equity and Com mon Law have, with a single exception, been ex cluded from the House of Commons. The County Court Judges have been subjected to a similar regulation. The House of Lords, however, claims not only a direct exemption from the salutary rule, but acts in direct opposition thereto, and by its claim renders it essential that a Judge of the court of last appeal shall necessarily be a politician and a party man. This anomaly should be got rid of at the earliest opportunity. But the bill so fortunately set aside last night would, if carried, have perpetuated the evil. We want a thorough reform of the House of Lords. It is required no less for the benefit of the great body of the people than of the privileged " few." One of the first points to be regarded in this much required measure will be the complete separation of the legislative and judicial functions. The former will be better discharged by its being completely relieved from any abortive attempt at the latter, and a much better tribunal may easily be consti tuted, that would give entire satisfaction in the exer cise of its arduous and important duties. The atten tion of Parliament should therefore be directed tc the construction of a proper Court of Appeal, separate and distinct fr)m the House of Lords, and also to a reform of the Senate, so as to insure, as far as practicable, a greater coincidence with the opinions and wishes of the great body of the people, and to render the chances of collision between the Houses less likely than at present. The question may now be argued coolly. The voice of public opinion will speak audibly, and we earnestly hope that Parliament will follow that opinion when clearly and unequivically expressed. At Mr. PEABODY'S dinner General CADWAIfi LADER acknowledged that the Americans are very sensitive, needlessly so indeed, yet he asked of the Press of this country to do their part towards diffusing and establishing friendly feelings be tween his countrymen and ours. Now, we be lieve that every journalist here is ready to do his part in the work of conciliation. But how shall he do it ? Our American friends must remember that we enjoy a practical liberty of the Press, to to which they are at present in a great measure strangers. We are accustomed in this country to tolerate the advocacy of the most unpopular views ; and, as in the case of the Manchester School during the War, while nearly the whole Press was opposed to them, yet instead of executing the judgment of Judge LYNCH on their persons and their printing-offices, we rather show respect to the moral courage which dares to differ and to assert publicly the difference. Mr. COBDEN and Mr. BRIGHT were at perfect liberty to denounce all of us as they pleased. Under similar circum stances had " What next, and next " been pub lished in America, probably the ." next " thing would have been a bonfire of the whole edi tion, and possibly the printer's establishment ; "and next" would have been a notice to the lion. Gentleman to shift his quarters. We may, then, dissent from all Americans on some of their favourite questions, bnt we must yet ask them to let us express our views as freely as if we dissented from the views of nine-tenths of the population of our own kingdom. They may, perhaps, hint that we should be more guarded in our language about foreigners than about our own people. There is something in that ; but, on the other hand, they remind us in the same breath that they are bone of our bone, and flesh of our flesh—that they inherit our his tory, our traditions, our language, our laws, awl our literature ; hence it is that we do not feel the same restraint in speaking of them as of any other foreign nation. They are, in truth, but half foreigners ; we know that they feel amenable to the same civil and religious obligations as we do. We should, for instance, be careful not to assume that a Frenchman was an advocate of political equality, or liberty, or of religious freedom ; but we understand thoroughly the convictions of Ame ricans on these points ; we know that they are at least as strong as ours. We feel gratified or an noyed by their consistency or inconsistency in re gaid to our common social and political principles, and they must therefore bear with us if we discuss their conduct rather as that of a section of our own community than that of pure foreigners. The freedom of our censure, as well as the heartiness of our congratulations, are due to the simple fact of our intimate knowledge of the very conscience of cur near kinsmen. Some of their correspond ents may think we are very ignorant of their parties and Movements ; but it is only as we of the metropolis may imperfectly understand, prior to specific inquiry, the sectional politics of Lanca shire or the West Riding of Yorkshire. Americans cannot, therefore, be surprised if on the more important political and social questions amongst them we should both entertain and ex• press strong opinions. It is rarely that English men denounce with any severity what is not con demned in much stronger language by some of their own citizens. True, we have often been here on the side of their minority, but then before now that minority has in our time become a majo rity ; so that, like the middle-aged folk who will not vary the cut of their coats, the fashion at last comes round to us. Probably there is no point on which Americans have been more sensitive or Englishuien, and we may say Europeans gene rally, less capable of conceding to their touchi ness, than that of slavery. This odious " domes tic institution," however, has always had a vigo rous band of opponents in the family to which it belongs, and even those who excuse it are un willing to call it by its proper name ; they have been compelled to " plate sin with gold," even in communications " from their Pre sident to his own fellow-citizens ; it is inevitable, therefore, that Britons should strip off the plating and call slavery, slavery ; and slaveholders, slaveholders. We must be allowed to support that party in the States which, as we think, supports those principles of rectitude which must triumph at last ; it was impossible for any Englishman not to blush that any of his race could enact under any pretext the infamous Fugi tive Slave Law,; or that he should not feel indig- nant to see the Free States of the North succumb- ing to the South in repealing the Missouri coin promise, or that pro-slavery zeal should be a qualification for the presidency ; we feel humbled in the eyes of- all the civilised world that such things should be done by the Republican half of the Anglo-Saxons. Whether, therefore, the Republican candidate, Colonel FREMONT, succeed or not, Americans will perceive that Englishmen will rejoice in what ever amount of success he achieves. English respect for America must rise in proportion to the ascendancy of ennobling principles in her policy, by whatever party name their supporters Uwe are known. The seleotion of Mr. BANKS, as Speaker, was highly gratifying to this country, and could the northern parties so combine as to return Col. FREMONT it would probably obtain the hearty Good-will for the Union of the whole Press of this country. General CADWALLADER himself could harny wish for other than sincere praises ; let him induce his countrymen to deserve them, and they shall have them. Comparing the " plat_ form " of the Republicans with that of the Cin- cinnati Convention, we may ask Americans whether England and Europe can accord respect to the Candidate who praises any " plank " of the latter, compared with what they give the man who takes his stand on the former. We give that of the Republicans and Colonel FREMONT in brief : The first r eso : ut : oc declares the new party in favour of preserving th e U n i on ; being a reply to their opponents, THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 11, 1856.-- thitt they are a sectional and dis-union party._ _The se . cond denies the "authority of Congress or a territorial Legislature to give legal assistance to slavery in any ter ritory of the United States." The word " territory," in this connection, signifies a political organisation (made under act of Congress) in a new country in which there is not sufficient population to form a State. The third resolution affirms the power of Congress to proiibit slavery and polygamy within the territories. It is un necessary to say that this is aimed as well against Brig ham Young as against the extension of slavery. The fourth and fifth relate to. Kansas and takes anti-slav er y grounds. The sixth we give at length : " That the highwayman's pea that might makes right,' embodied in the Ostend circular, was in every re spect unworthy of American diplomacy, and would bring shame and dishonour upon any Government of people that gave it their sanction.'" The New York, Herald again writes as fol lows: "The Republican platform is pretty well. It amounts to little. It may be condensed into three sentences. 1. They want Congress to rule the territories and to ex clude slavery therefrom, 2. They want Kansas to be free. 3. They want no war. On the other hand, the Cincinnati platform takes a different ground. The Demo crats want-1. Congress not to meddle with the terri tories. 2. Kansas to be slave. 3. War. On these two platforms the first is unquestionably the best Every , one can judge of the relative merits of the third proposition in the two platforms. If the interests of this country can be best advanced by a war with France, England, and Spain combined, brought on by a reckless attempt of our Government to seize Cuba, then the Cin cinnati platform is the preferable one ; but if we shall be the greater gainers by peace, industry, commerce, good will, and public enterprise, then the Fremont ticket is the safer of the two." With such statements before us, it is impossible that all who wish well to the Republic should not wish her to be represented amongst the nations by Colonel FREMONT, rather than by Mr. BUCHANAN. If party zeal in America will elect a pro-slavery man, who is necessitated by his slavery connexions to adopt " the highwayman's plea" at a diplomatic conference, to be her Presi dent, nothing can secure to her the same respect as would be spontaneously given for an election more honourable to h'3r domestic and foreign re lations. Another and yet another ! Scarcely have we got over the first horror of the 1,977/. PAULO CAGLIARI, when we are agonised by a 1,050/. GIOVANNI BELLINI just as abominable, just as worthless, and just as ridiculous as a grand, vaunted, costly addition to the art treasures stored up in our unfortunate National Gal lery. One after another these expensive daubs aro being bundled into that same luckless collection tending rapidly and inevitably to transform it, at length, into the laughing-" stock" of the art critics of Chris tendom. All this, moreover, positively, and distinctly because of the notorious and acknowledged incapacity of Sir CHARLES LOCK EASTLAKE as the Director of the Gallery, thus simultaneously disfigured and dete riorated. Since this luckless Gallery has been under his Direction, what execrable rubbish has been admitted, to be sure, into an assemblage of pictures until then for the most part fastidiously and cautiously se lected ! A fraudulent TITIAN, a vamped-up NIANTEGNA, a spurious HOLBEIN, a highly-stippled BOTTICELLI, the big, flaring VERONESE, cobbled and patched into something like uniform ugliness by the veneering brush of one Tagliapietra, and 'now, " last, but not least" in atrocity, this astoundingly hideous GIOVANNI BEL LINI : as the ever-ruthless "M. M." of 27, Soho-square, saith of it, in so many words, " a besmeared, dull-purple, rotten-look ing daub !" As it is, to the very letter, and that letter aT. Why, the whole spectacle recently witnessed in the neighbourhood of Trafal gar-square has been, for all the world, like a travestie of a famous scene in Macbeth—but very slightly altered.

Really, after all the murders that have been committee in cold Wood (and with very high fees paid over to the hireling assassins) —really, we say, after all the various mur ders that have been deliberately committed in cold blood upon such great masters as HOLBEIN and VERONESE, and GIOVANNI BELLINI And AN DREA M.A.NTEGNA, and the like, we don't at all wonder at the solicitude evinced by some people to fly from the scene of these atro cities, and to rid the Gallery, if possible, of such really painful associations. It shot ad be remembered by those individuals, however,, that it is not the building that must infallibly be haunted under the circumstances so much as the actual collection itself, so long as that collection comprises within it such raw-head-and-bloody bones of the ancient masters as have been care fully selected by Sir CHARLES EASTLAK E and his assistants, at very considerable expe ,use, from among the ghoul-like lumber of the picti are-dealing vampires of the Continent.

PARIS, THURSDAY The Emperor made an excursion on Tuesday to Luxeuil (says a letter from Plombieres). The Empress honoured the Theatre Francais with her presence last evening. The pieces performed were " Une Chaine" and "La Diplomatie du Mariage." It appears decided that there will not be a double fete, as was at first contemplated, for the return of the army of of the East and for the St. Napoleon. These two solemnities will be celebrated at the same time, on Aug. 15 ; but the fete will be of a particularly military character, and especially dedi cated to the victorious troops who are returning home, and to their general-in-chief. The Dachess of Orleans has remitted from her self and the princes her sons the sum of 15,000 f. for the sufferers by the inundations. The first section of the railway from Paris to Mulhausen, lying between Paris and Nogent sur- Marne, has just been opened to the public.

On the arrival of T,oiti Nor;auby at Parma, he immediately repaired to the Royal Villa of Sala,.to pay his respects to the Regent. He is accompanied by Lady Normanby, and a communication from Florence states that they left that town in great haste and very unexpectedly. It is to be hoped that this tardy visit of his lordship, after the capi tal has been three months and a-half in a state of siege, and which seems even now to have been only undertskek by express order from home, may not be too late to be useful. A letter from Parma of the 2d, in the Risor gimento of Turin, says : "We are told that Marshal Radetzky has officially informed the Duchess Regent that, from strategical motives, he intends to increase our garrison to 3,000 men, to be quartered partly in the city and partly in the environs. Placentia has received an increase of 500 chasseurs of the Imperial regiment ; the cita del having been demolished, the Austrians have constructed three forts around, armed with guns ; they are called Sc. Lazarus, Podista, and St. An thony. The Marshal wants to increase the Aus trian army in Italy to 120,000 men ; the Po is to be furnished with military bridges at several points, and considerable bodies of troops are to be stationed along that river and the coasts of the Romagna." AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, JrLY 10. By the United States' mail steam-ship Arago, Captain Lines, with the French and English mails, whioh arrived off Cowes this morning, en route to Havre, we have dates from New York to the 28th ultimo. The Arago brings 230 passengers, of whom 26 are for England - $550,000 in specie for Havre, $150,000 for London, and 1,500 barrels of flour. The intelligence from England was looked for ward to with great interest. In reference to the feeling with regard to the difficulties between Eng land and America conveyed in the intelligence re ceived by the Asia, the New York _Herald sa.)s ' When the last mail arrived we stated that the im broglio might be considered as terminated. We now reiterate that conviction with a better knowledge of the facts. The question is now narrowed down into one of Mr. Crampton's guilt or innocence. That is the proper ground for it to occupy. If Mr. Crampton was inno• cent he was wrongly dismissed, and it would serve this country right not only to see its Minister disrnis.ed, but to lose character and prestige throughout Europe, for the only excuse for the high-handed measure then would be that Mr. Pierce was courting popularity for electoral purposes, and no one in this country would object to see a President well punished for thus proving false to his station. But if, on the other hand, Mr. Crampton was guilty—and we are bound to say that, for our part, we have not the smallest doubt but he was—then it will devolve on the British Government not to carp at this Administration for dismissing him, but to render to Mr. Pierce hearty thanks for having taken a measure which justice called for, and the interests and friendship of the two nations required. Indeed, from the moment that the question is placed on this—the only rational—basis, it ceases to be dangerous or irritating. It assumes a shape in whieb reason can grasp it without any enormous effort ; it does not necessari►y provoke outbursts of national prejudice or passion. Did Mr. Crampton commit the acts charged or did he not ? That is the whole point now ; and we can assure our British neighbours that if they can show, in a straightforward, sensible way, that the charges brought against the British Minister were unfounded, and the acts whereof he stands accused not actually committed by him, they will obtain the hearty sympathy of every American citizen, and every respectable jour nal, in denouncing, in the strongest terms, the omit net of the President and his advisers. But until that is shown we must be allowed to consider the argument against Crampton to be conclusive." The forthcoming Presidential election was causing great excitement, and it was said there had not beem so much enthusiasm manifested throughout. the North and West at the nomination of a candi date for the Presidency since the Harrison cam paign of 1840 as there was in bringing tomato, .Freniont, the Great Rocky Mountain path finder. Large meetings had been held, processions formed, and guns fired. The struggle was expected to be most exciting. From the confident tone, however, of the democratic journals, the election of Mr. Buchanan appeared certain. Tile Illinois, with San Francisco dates of the sth ult., had arrived at New York. The news is im portant. The murderers Casey and Cora were hung on the 221 of May, the day of the burial of Mr. King'. _ _ The United States steam-frigate Susquehanna, Commandor Joshua R. Sands, arrived at New York on the 27th ult. from Aspinw-all and San Juan, carrying the broad pennant of Commodore H. Paulding. The Susquehanna left ;Ban Juan on the 10th. Nothing very definite was learned of the movements of General Walker, who was at Leon, awaiting the result of the election of a President, then pending. The army of Costa Rica had disappeared. Carrera, President of Guatemala, had raised an army of 3,000 mon to act against Wa/ker, and left his capital with the full d(Aermination of giving hire battle ; but before he had reached the Larders of his State his ranks were reduced by de sertion and dea th to 500 men, when he cteemed it the wisest poli4:y to march back again. 13 onduras refused to all ow the Guatemala army to pass through her territory. St. Salvador was; friendly to Walker's government, and he is now m( me firmly seated on Central American soil than any of the native rulers.- The recruits from New Orleans, with six pieces (c)f artillery and a large quantity of munitions of war, found no difficulty in joining Walker's forces. In the New• York money-market foreign bills were done on London at F Sri to 110 ; Paris 5.161 to 5.15.

A letter from Constantinople of the 30th, in the Gazette du Midi, says : "Toe affairs of the principalities will be among the first the Government will have to discuss, and *bey eall for a prompt solution. The dismissal of the two h ispo dars is definitively decided on. Another matter that must soon be settled is, whether an ambassador extraur ,iioary shall be sent to be present at the coronation of the Emperor of Russi a . As a ll t h e other grea t powers send one, Turkey can hardly f orm an except i on . There is a difficulty, h owever , i n th e matter, w hi c h i s , that toe Emperor Alexander has not yet notified to the Sul tan his accession to the throne. It is, however, thought that .Russia may make the notification by an auto4r ,ph letter or by some intermediary ; and in that case Turkey would send an ambassador. The person most ely to be selected for the mission is Mehemet Pacha (K' sli), who fulfilled the functions of caimacan during Aali Pasha a absence. Another scandalous affair whicn prove., tn..t in Turkey the Turks are not the most intolerant has just occurred at Harpout, in Asia Minor. Toe child of an Armenian family, Borne time since converted to Pro testantism, lately died, and its parents had it buried in the Armenian cemetery, the only one for Christians at Harpout. As soon as the Armenian bishop was informed of the fact, be proceeded to the cemetery at the head of the inhabitants belonging to his communion, and had the body- dug up and thrown into a neighbour ing field, there to be devoured by dogs. Tte go vernor being apprised of what was done, F ent guards to protect the body while he male the mo t energetic remonstrances to the bishop. As the prelate would not yield, the body was reinterred by the autho rities. The Porte has addressed a note to the Armenian patriarch on the subject, demanding the dismissal of the bishop, and has sent orders to the governor of Harpout to give the Protestants a piece of ground for a cemetery for themselves." A company has been formed, with Messrs. Cunard and Maclvor at its head, for the construc tion of a duck, with patent slips, somewhere on the Bosphorus.. Mr. Barkley, the engineer of the Heraclea. coal mines, has been commissioned to find a suitable place and make the necessary arrangements. He has chosen Beycos Bay as tilt, site of the dock ; it is easily accessible and well protected from every wind. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, JULY 7. On the 30th June the Earl of Clarendon gave the House of Lords to understand that " some good" might be expected to arise from the endeavours of the Powers to persuade the Papal Government to make such reforms as would render a prolonged occupation of the territories of the Church unneces sary, but information to-day received leads me to believe that the Pope and his official advisers are not much disposed to listen to the friendly advice which they have received from the two great Catho lic Powers. State secrets are generally remarkably welVkept in this country, but still it is known in dipliamatic circles that Baron Werner's mission to Rome was not attended with success. Everything will be done to gain time, the two great Catholic Powers will be played off against each other, fair promises will be made to both, and as soon as the slight external pressure which is now felt is removed nothing will be changed. A person who is in a position to form a correct opinion on the subject tells me, that little more i s to be expected from the Pap a l Government than that it will exert itself to protect the lives and pro perty of its subjects. Prince Adalbert of Bavaria will leave for Madrid on or about the 20th of this month, as his marriage is to take place at the beginning of August. The Frankfort Post Zeitung learns 'rem Vienna that Prince Gortschakoff folly agreed with Count Buol, that the Danubian Principalities " ought not io be united ;" but you may be assured that such was not the case. A well-known English firm is likely to undertake to construct the Vienna-Linz-Salsburg Railroad. A treaty of commerce has been concluded for 15 years between Tuscany and Greece. LITERATUE.E. Revelations of Prison Life. By George Laval CheAterton. Hurst and Biackett. A deeply interestng record of prison experience, by a well-known prison reformer, to wit, the ex- Governor of Cold Bath Fields Prison. Numerous characters are introduced, the incidents of whose various careers are of a striking, some of them of an appalling, nature, and the anxieties peculiar to the then position of the writer, are shown to bo such as to have called for no little support and sympathy . . While of a character to attract the unreflecting, and such as look merely for excite ment, these volumes possess claims on the atten tion of prison reformers. The writer undertakes an inquiry into prison discipline and second try punishments, his object being to unmAsk the falla cies of one over-lauded system (the separate), and to caution the public from any exaggerated expec tation from any o. her. Altogether the work is one deserving of general perusal, and well calcu lated by its exposition of bygone evils, and the suggestions it contains for the future, to do good service. Differences of opinion will always exist on some matters, and, not least, such as seri ously involve the welfare of society ; but it would be impossible for a thoughtful individual to read this work without more or less profit. As a narra tive of individual achievement in the teeth of powerful obstacles it possesses considerable value. Letters on Military _Education By Jacob Omnium. Bradbury and Evans. These letters on the subject of Army Reform made their first appearance in the columns of the Times, and excited as they successively appeared a good deal of attention, and not a little contro versy. In their present form the public will be better enabled to do justice to the views of the author than they possibly could through the medium of a daily journal, however popular and extensively read, and we must say the letters are deserving of the most thoughtful perusal and con sideration. One point is put with much force— the danger under the existing system of favouritism and incompetency of nominating a successor to Lord Hardinge—a strong presumption existing that such successor would either be a Prince of the Blood, or a Peninsular Field-Marshal, in which case, if incompetent, the nation would have to endure (possibly) many a long year of military mis government before a Prime Minister could be found resolute enough to disgrace by dismissal either of them. Another proof of the necessity of Parlia mentary Reform, which, in our humble opinion, must precede every other of a really thorough and effective nature ! When will our public writers come to see this ? Healthy Respiration. By Stephen H. Ward, M.D., London. John Van Voorst, Paternoster- row. A series of lectures delivered last winter in Lon don on a subject of the last importance to the wel fare of the community, since, on a proper appre hension of it, the.progress of sanitary improvement largely depends. Mr. Ward possesses those im portant qualifications of a good lecturer, a lucid style, brevity, and force, and knowing whereof he speaks is enabled to fix the attention and fasten his remarks on the memory of his hearers or readers. Altogether the work is one which com mands our approval, and if everything met with its desert would be sure to command also an extensive sale. It is very portable, we may add, as well tit calculated to be useful. The Sabbath Question. By Henry Fulton. Dublin WGlashan and Co. An interesting brochure, in which the Sabbath question is considered scripturally, without refer ence to its social, political, or sanitary character. The writer seeks only for the teaching of Scripture, and the result of his research is a noticeable ex po3ure of the fallacies which Sabbatarian divines have pretended to draw from it. Whother the writer be a member of the Society of Friends or not we do not know ; but his views, we fancy, pretty closely resemble those entertained by that, body of religionists. The work has reached a second edition, and is deserving of circulation. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. MADLLE. PICCOLOMINI'S BENEFIT. This young lady may wall be proud and happy. She has fairly won the hearts of her au lience. There could be no mistake 21.1 to the warmth of sentiment displayer last night, when, on the conclusion of her thrilling an. marvellous performance, the whole house rose to do het honour. Ladies were waving handkerchiefs ; men were cheering; every one that had a bouquet cast it on th , stage, till the favourite was weal nigh hidden by the mass of flowers she attempted to cai iy. Again an , ag was she called for, and in the thunders of applause and in the ringing cheer, there was a volume, a warmth a love, in one word, such a s w e h ave never b e f ore seen evincfd within the walls of a theatre. Midemoiselle Piccolomini was evidently deeply grati lied touched. She curt-ied her thagks with spa'k ling eyes and grateful smile, that told how seru , ible she felt that she was treated as an "enfant Cherie'"—e darling. The actress and the audience, for once, ap preciated each other, and reciprocated feelings as deep as genuine. The opera was followed by the new ballet of the Corsaire," which " went," as the phrase is, better than the first night of its production. Rosati was adanrabie. She bounded, sparkled, enchanted. " Her steps are of light, and her home is the air, And she only par complaisance touches the ground. ' The scenery, costumes, dancing, acting, all combined in their excellence to produce great entertainment and great applause. ADELPITI THEATRE. Last night a burlesque of Legrave's tragedy of "Medea" was produced here ; and when we state tha. Wright sustained the character of Medea, and Paul Bedford that of Glance, some idea of the humour of the piece may be inferred. The tragedy is travestied with much whimsical ingenuity, and Wright's mim'cries of the inimitable Risturi was highly comic, and carrie.i the burlesque to a successful termination. Miss M. Keeley and Miss Wyndham enacted the parts of Orphan and Jason. The scenery of the Lyceum has been exactly copied, and the other appointments of the burlesque were excellent. The burlesque was followed by the per rmances of Mr. and Mrs. Williams, the Americas; comedians. Such hso; been the success of these talented artistes that the production of a novelty, of which report speaks higitly, has bean for the present postponed. The house was crowded to excess. Prince Oscar of Sweden, attended by Lieut.-C loon] Cavendish, visited Mr. Burford's Panorama of Sebasto pal yesterday. Hi s Royal Highness also visited the German Gallery, in New Bond-street, to inspect Mr ) Barker's picture of the Allied Generals before Sebasto pol. VISIT OF PRINCE OSCAR TO NEWGATE —Yesterda', afternoon, Prince Oscar, accompanied by Lieut. Col Cavendish, Lieut. Dud, and Dr. Lilijelgoin, visited the prison of N‘.wvate, and was conducted throughout the entire building by Mr. Weatherheail, the intelligent and active governor of the prison, who explained to his Se rene Highness the modes of classification by separation in cells, both previous to and after conviction, with which his Serene Highness expressed his approbation, one of the principal objects of his visit to this country being the experience of our prison discipline, and the in. de of treatment of convicted persons. The Prince thanked the governor, Mr. Weatherhead, for the infor. mation he had received, and left the prison about half past five. The North of Europe Steam Cornoany, on a report f tom their official auditor, have declared a dividend fur ti vo half-vt ar at the rate of 8 per cent, per annum. The Spanish Financial Commission have advertised th e usual auction of the forei g n redeemable debt, for which purpose 2,3 4 8,060 realshave been assigned by the, Government. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—Another highly interesting addition has just been completed and added to the Royal group in the Exhihitinn, it is a p or t ra it model of the present King of the Netherlands. His Majesty is represented in an undress naval ur,if,srrn aid is considered a most excellent likeness, the figure being most like and admirably executed. Many novelties are, we understand, in progress. Madame Jenny Lind Goldschmidt, soon after the Lord Bishop of Oxford gave his admirable address to the young men at present under the protection of the North-West London Reformatory Institution, 12, New. road, paid a visit to that society. After going threegh the establishment, and inspecting the various articles manufactured by the inmates, with her usual bounty she left 301. towards the emigration-fund, as a mark of the great satisfaction she felt at the manner in which the institution is conducted. ry ROYAL GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.—The following are amongst the numerous persons who have vitited this gallery within the last few days, to witness Miss P. Horton's (Mrs. T. G. Reed) popular entertainment, which will be improved on Monday next by the addi tion of a new character, whose peculiar features are of some interest at the present time, when the "rights and wrongs of women" are brought so prominently before the public :—Lady Sidtnouth, Lady Georgina Douglas and party, Lady Anderson, Lady Strathallan and party, Lord Skelmersdale and party, La' y Farringdon and party, Colonel Westrnore, Colonel Fitzgerald and party, Major Pbibbs and party, Captain Quantock, tho Rev. J. S. Coles, Mrs. Horrocks and party, Mrs. Lowndes and party, Captain and Mrs. Wood and party, Mr. Hoblyn and party, the Rev. C. Calley, &c. BELGIUM IN ENGLAND.--It is said that King Leopold visits England expressly to obtain the advice of Prince Albert relative to the new p ro j ect of law for the Belg i an press, a project gently pressed upon his Majesty by Louis Napoleon. Prince Albert's fears, expressed last year as a fishmonger, as to the strain put upon constitu tional government by the too much freedom of the press is not forgotten. Therefore, at this juncture, old and astute as Leopold may be, Albert may nevertheless he able, in his c, nflict with the 'rench Empercr, to teach his uncle to suck eggs —even the eggs of an Imperial eagle,—Punch. ' LAW INTELLIGETiC2.—',This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTOY. (Before Mr. Cominivsioner Fnue.) 1 IN RE J. W. NINNE.

On application, on behalf of the bankrupt, for a fur ther ajournme-.t for three weeks, it was intimated that it wa cmteruplation to supersede, as bankrupt's friends had offere l to advance a certain amount, which the creditors were willing to accept. His Honour said he would grant the adjournment, but would advise the bankrupt to have nothing to do with a supersedent, but take a certificate of this court and become a new man. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.) BOW-STREET. UTTERING A FORGED NOTE.—This morning a re' epectably attired roar, named William Sumnent, was placed at the hat, before Mr. Henry, oo remand, charged with uttering a forged 51. Bank of England note. From the evidence of Mr. Allceck, the landlord of the Sovereign public house, Upper St. Martin's.lane, it ar geared that a few days ago the prisoner entered his hpuse and, having partaken of some brandy and sods water, tendered the note in question to the bat. maid in payment. She, not having sufficient cash to change the note, called to him in the csllar, telling him change for a 51. note was required. On arriving at the bar he received the note, and from its appearance he felt satisfied it was a forgery. He took the note up stairs for the purpose of comparing . , it with a genuine one, and f ur th er t o t es t it, h e ap plied some water to the mark in both notes. The effect was on the genuine one the watermark became more visible , rut on the spurious one it completely obliterated it. ro make assurance' doubly sure, he sent the note to neighbour, by whom it was returned as a very bad one. The answers to the questi ns he put to the prisoner not being at all satisfactory, he gave him into custody. The prisoner protested his i nnocence , an d sa id h e di" not know the note was a spurious one. Mr. Henry said that might he so, but it was a veil suspicious circumstance that when the prisoner was 'asked to write his name and address on the note he wrote .a fictitious one. The accounts, too, as to how the note came int.) his possession were far from satisfactory. The prisoner again protested his innocence, and said the note now produced was not the note he gave to the barmaid ; his good note had been exchanged for the pre' sent forged one. He certainly took the pen in his band to write his name, but be did not do so. The magistrate reminded the prisoner of the statemen t be bad made to the barmaid. He distinctly told her be had written his name on the note. Hp* ever, a s the, prisoner said he was a respectabl e man , a nd :i nnoce nt of the present charge., he would give him eidirfacilitY praying it. He should therefore remand the case td ue.3.day next. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day. CORN EXT 3 Ei A NUE. Fresh up to-day very moderate supplies of English wheat came to hand coastwise and by land carriage; helloe the show of samples was small. Selected qualities of Oa and white were tolerably firm, at extreme quotations. In, other kilds only a limited business was trans ac ted, I" Monday's currency. Neatly 5,000 qrs. of foreign wheat having come to hand the show of samples was rather on the increase. The buss' uess doing was very moderate, at late rates.

As corn- - pared with the corresponding half of 1855, this shows an increase of 2,586,6271., although the export was then unprecedentedly large. The proportion of gold, how ever, is smaller in the present return. The sum included in the aggregate total as having been sect to China this half-year is 937,2881., of which all hut 102,456/. was silver. In the fir-t six months of 1855 the total sent to China was 833,4661. The present augmentation in the shipments to the East has, therefore, been caused almost exclusively by the Indian demand.
