It is respectfully announced that the OPERA SEASON will COMMENCE on SATURDAY next, the 10th of May. On resuming the performances which have been suspended during the last three years, the Director of her Majesty's Theatre is anxious to assure the patrons of the Opera and the public, that no exertion shall be wanting to secure for this establishment that high position it so long maintained ; and he trusts that the renewal of the enterprise under more prosperous auspices will be accompanied with that favour and support which no frequenter of the Opera needs to be reminded were for so many years accorded to a brilliant and successful management. The secession, in 1847, of many of those performers who had long been attached to the Opera House was the corn , meneement of a long and arduous struggle to maintain.tbe fortunes of the old house ; and it was not till the wealth of four successive competitors had been fruitlessly lavished upon the rival theatre, that Mr. Lumley was reluctantly compelled to retire from the contest. From that time to the present Mr. Lumley's efforts have been unremitting to re-open her Majesty's Theatre upon a permanent basis, and to restore the Opera to its ancient home. He has received liberal encouragement from every side, and, effectually aided by noble and generous support from a quarter where the refinements of art and taste never fail to find a patron, he is now enabled gratefully to announce the immediate resumption of performances. At the present moment there are vocalists, of an excellence seldom surpassed, who have never been heard by an English public. Of these the elite have been secured for the present Season. Her Majesty's Theatre is marked out by its size, its situa tion, and its convenience of access, no less than by old and interesting associations, as the appropriate seat of the Opera. In the acoustic properties, so essential to the effective pro duction of the lyrical drama, it is acknowledged to surpass every other stage in Europe. In consequence of some happy accident of construction a result has been attained that science has failed to explain, and that no architect could engage to reproduce, by which the faintest tones and the most delicate 'vocalisation penetrate with unimpaired clearness to the re motest recesses of the vast edifice. The arrangements completed and in progress,both in and Ballet, will, it is confidently hoped, be thought worthy rt the former reputation of the Theatre, and of the just ex- Pectations of its distinguished supporters. In consequence of the late period at which it was resolved to open the Theatre, the arrangements, satisfactory as it is hoped they will even now be found, are not yet fully com pleted; and negotiations aro in progress from which impor tant accessions are expected. The following arrangements have been completed : OPERA. • MADAME ALBONI, Her first appearance in London these five years. MDLLE. PIC COLOMONI, Her first appearance. MDLLE. GIUDITTA RIZZA, MDLLE.

COMPULSORY VACCINATION. t.iksintsmor,—Before you c immit yourselves to such a fatal mea sure as the above, we beseech you to peruse a_myst important French work on the question. It is enti:led" Dc In Degeuerescenee Physique et Morale de l'Espece Humaine determinee par le Vaccin. Par le Dr. Verd&Delisle." The wore is published in Paris, by Charpentier, 39, Rue de l'Universite, and may be had in London, at Jeff's, 15, Burlington-arcade. If after reading the book you think yourselves justified in assenting to compulsory vaccination, it will be, at all events, with a knowledge of the dangers attending• such a measure. Remember that Jenner had only two years' experience when his supposed discovery was most blindly embraced by the world, and that, although he vacc i na t e d his first son, he did not do so with the seccnd—Robe:ct. Bear also in Mind that there never has been a proper teat of vaccination, which great work (if done at all) should have Iran by vaccinating a great many childr en, and leaving an !Spi.4l number to Nature, who should have been watched together. This we say would have been a proper test. But was it done ? Most assuredly not. Everybody has gone on blindly vaccinating, without for one moment reflecting as to what he was doing. The First Con sul, Buonap ti te, and the others of the state who signe d in Paris their approval of vaccination, alas ! what could they know about it? It was by this' sort of jugglery that the thing took ground. It was only time that could have proved its fallacy : and look now at the degenerate state of mankind. Where are our Shakespe ,res, Newtons, and in later days our Pitts, Chathams, Sheridans,So.,&c.? and our Mozarts, Haydns, Aube , s ?—echo answers, Where ? No, we have nothing left but a puny, consumptive peneratlon, continual y attar ked by all sorts of fevers of the worse description. Again we beseech you, refl..et. Our more extended protest against compulsory vaccination appears in the Hyteist and Medical Reformer for May, 18 56 . We have the honour to be, gentlemen, Your obedient servants, THE MEMBERS of the BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New-road, London, for the Society of Hygeists, who, acting under the system ofJames Morison, the Llygelst, only recog nise an impurity in the blood as the cause of all diseases.

IN THE HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY. TRIESEMAR.—On. the 29th of May, 1855, an Injunction was granted by the Migh Court of Chancery, and I Ith of June following was made perpetual, against Joseph i'ranklin and others, to restrain them, under a penalty of one thou stud pounds, trom imitating this Medicine, which is protected by Ft':yal Letters eaten of England, and scoured by the Seals of the ECOlv de Plivinacie de Paris, and the Imperial CoUeye of liediOne, Vienna. TRIESEMAR, No.l, is a remedy for Relaxation, Spermatorrhosa, and all the distressing consequences arising from early abuse, &c., and its effects are effi cacious in youth, manhood, and old age ; and to , those persons who are prevented entering the married state from the results of early errors it is invaluable. _ _ TRIESEMAR, No. 2, effectually. in the short space of three days, completely and tntirel:s er ullcates all traces of those Disorders which Capalvi and Cubebt have so long been thought an antidote for, to the ruin of the health of a vast portion of the population. TRIESEMAR, No. 3, is the treat Continental Remedy for that clan of Disorders, whit', unfortunately the English physician treats with Mercury; to the in evitable destruction of the patient's constitution, and which all the isrsaparilla in the world cannot remove.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 5 per mills premium (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint, price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. per oz. for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.29} ; and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.371, it follows that gold is about 0.32 per cent, dearer in Lon don than in Paris. By advices f r om Hamburg the price of gold is 4261 per mark, which , at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. per oz. for standard gold, gi ves an exchange of 13.5 8 ; and, the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13.7, it follows that gold is 0 64 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. Th e course of exchange at New Ycrk on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1091 per cent., and, the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.17 per cent. in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for c' arges of transport and difference of interest, the pre se,.t rate leaves a trifling profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

CRTSTA.L PALACE.—ONH ►SHILLING DAY, Tue - iday, May U.—Admissions on payment, 2,224 ; ditto by sea son tickets, 201; total visitora, 2,125. Spirit . of the Public Journals. (Flynt the Morni?tg Herald of this clay.) The adjourned debate on the address has not produced, anything worthy of particular comment, 'excepting it be the speech of Mr. - GI:1(14one. That the right hon. tnem-. for the University should congratu!ate the house upon the return of peace is natural—as neutral, indeed, as that the house should congratulate itself that it is not engaged in considering the terms of an address on a 'peace of Mr. Gladstone'e making. Had the siews of the blique with which ho acts upon the policy'of the,war been adopted - had he succeeded, eighteen months ago, impressing Parliament With the idea that the war was an unmitigated disaster, the dread preliminary to nee decal ruin, we should have laid down our arms just as Russia was beginning to feel their effects, and have de hbereeely abandoned the only opportunity which might arise during the present century of curbing the iiejuri, us ambition of our recent fee. As it is, we have consented to terminate the war just as we were beginning to feel and to put forth our strength—too soon for the solid peace of. Europe, as we shall yet • discover —too soon for our own consequence, all things considered—almost too soon for our honour. We have, with the ce•Operatiou of our steadfast ally, accomplished sofnething ; but that .we have done so is due to our total disregard of the piti ful counsels of those statesmen under whose pacific au spices we entered upon a war that in the very nature of things must have been costly and sanguinary. Considering how resolutely the house set itself against the persuasive influence of Mr. Gladstone, and that the country was prepared, even after the fall of Sebastopol, to pr 'acute hostilities at' all cost and hazard, until Russia should succumb, 'the right hon. gentleman dis played last night some generosity in his review of the terms o peace. The arrangements for the internal ad ministration of Turkey entirely meet his approval ; he thinks, however, that a; Christian policy has so far so persided within the Ottoman Empire the -rule of :he soran,,...and e tkat e c !_tt4te e. vo:tarchq have taught the sndcessor of the CalitOElTlesson ; but the right hon. gentleman never once allueed to the revolt of 50,000 Arabs in consequence of the attempt of foreign ers to compel the enforcement of battiechireff. He thinks, moreover, that the consolidation of the Princi palities, although contrary to the wishes of their suzerain, our ally, would have been a great blessing to those coun tries, and, of course, believes that another Otho on the throne of Moldo-Wallachia would be a great improvement upon the existing state of Government. There is one point, however, in the treaty—not the least important it will be confessed—which does not afford Mr. Glad stone satisfaction, and in this respect Mr. Gladstone is not singular that point is the boasted neutralisa tion of the Black Sea. The provision for securing that most desirable object Mr. Gladstone describes as pre senting a " succession of pitfalls." We regret the right hon. gentleman did not further develops the objection which he thus happily described, although any oue who takes the trouble to consider those articles in the treaty which presume to provide for the aforesaid neutralisa tion, will be at no loss to understand the description of work they cut out for the maritime pewers, should Rus sia-as she unquestionably will—take advantage of the opportunities so generously afforded her of recovering ‘by degrees that supremacy which she doubtless only considers is in abeyance. Even Lord John Russell, who was disposed last year to make such concessions to Russia, sees that there is a radical weakness in that stipulation, which is supposed to involve the most seri ous consequences to Turkey\and to Europe. Lord John does not consider Count Orloff's promise respect ing the Russian arsenals, although appearing in a pro tocol, as equivalent to the stipulation of a treaty. Yet upon that promise the neutralisation really de pends. It is undoubtedly true, as was observed last night by Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald, that Russia is dis tinguished for the first time at the close of any war in which she has been engaged by the cession instead of the acquisition of territory; yet she has contrived, partly by her own dexterity, but chiefly by the weakness of those with whom she had to deal, to indemnify her self for any territorial losses on the margin of the Euxine by the retention of those places which have enabled her hitherto to dominate in those waters. Lord Palmerston hardly anticipated the objection of Mr. Gladstone to the most important portion of the treaty.; and his reply to it betrays the consciousness that it is really the weak point of the whole structure. The supremacy of the Black Sea, in one shape or an other, was the point for which Russia was prepared to make any sacrifice. The total abolition of that supre macy was impossible without a lengthened and sustained struggle on the part of the Western Powers. To make the Black Sea secure it would be indispensable to drive Russia from every foothold on its margin, and render her no longer a sea-bordering power, as it is termed. Our Government was not prepared to undertake this heavy task, and therefore they have con cluded a peace which leaves Russia where she was, and by its imperfect conditions opens those future series of embarrassments happily denominated "pitfalls" by Mr. Gladstone, No one knows all this better than Lord Palmerston, although in his. speech against time last -night he afflicts a belief in the security afforded by the treaty, a belief which he is the last person really to en tertain. (Prom the Morning Advertiser of this day.) If the debate on the treaty of peace has been product tive of no other good, it has at least had this beneficial result—that it has thrown much additional light on what this country has gained or lost by its alliance with the ruler—not the people—of France. Even Mr. Layard, who seems to have been suddenly seized with a violent affection for the Government which he, more than any other man, had formerly systematically assailed—even he, amidst all the vehemence of his new-born love for Lord Palmerston, could not help reproaching, by impli cation, the Government of the noble lord, for the dis honour done to the country by our servile submission to the Chief Magistrate of France, and the spaniel-like fashion in which we have fawned upon him. Speaking or: that alliance, which will, in the end, be deeply de plored by this country, Mr. Layard said—" The French alliance had proved a source of great embarrassment. Now, he was one of those who would make every sacri fice for a French alliance, except a sacrifice of the national honour. He confessed, however, that to his mind, from the very commencement, our position with regard to France had been a most anomalous one. For this the present Government was not to be blamed, but those who originated and took the first steps in the war. From the beginning he had been deeply impressed with the equivocal positions we had held with regard to France, and he thought no one oould read these protocols and those of the Vienna Confereices, or could have followed the events of the war, without being persuaded that we assumed a false position as respected France, placed ourselves unnecessarily in her power, and took a line which could never be consistent with the true interests and honour of this country." The latter part of this extract from the speech of the member for Aylesbury was received with loud cries of " Hear, hear." We are glad to find that it was so. It is an indication which justifies the hope that the Legis lature, as well as the people, is at length beginning to open its eyes to the dishonour of the national character, and the injury to the best interests of the country, which our ignoble subjugation to the ruler of France has already done to England. Lord John Russell, too, made some poi n ted observa tions on the conduct of Louis Napoleon, in instructing Count Wale wski to demand the sanction of Lord Claren don to the adoption of measures for the extinction of a ' free press in Belgium. This is another illustration of the degradation entailed upon us by an alliance with the present regime in France ; and it was a gratifying cir cumstance, that the house received Lord John Russell's denunciation of the conduct of the governor of that country, with loud and repeated cheers. "Having," said his lordship, " made these criticisms, he would remark on one or two questions which came under consideration in the course of the protocols. Towards the end of them, the French Minister brought forward the state of the Belgian press, and objected to what he had no doubt were great excesses on the part of that press—lament able abuses of the freedom of the press—but which, so far as our experience went, belonged to that freedom. Lord Clarendon said that the press was like the air—at perfect liberty. The Belgian press had the security, he believed, of trial by jury for offences, according to the Belgian Constitution, and he hoped that no Ministry which the wise, prudent, and constitutional Sovereign who reigned over that country would ever have, would be ready to propose or consent to any alteration of the Constitution, for the purpose of subjecting that press to a censorship, or to any more summary mode of inter ference. He could not but think, therefore, that while we were ready to say that the Emperor of the French, in his own dominions, might regulate the press as he pleased, and put what restrictions he thought necessary upon it, for the preservation of the peace of his own sub jects, without our having the least claim to interfere in the matter, yet he thought the Emperor should respect similar rights in other countries, and not call upon the Minister of England to take a step which must be so re pugnant to the feelings of the English people, as to in terfere with the press of another country." This spirited passage in Lerd J. Russell's speech de served the loud cheers with which it was greeted. No one, for the last four years, has ventured to express him self thus manfully, respecting the Emperor of the French. Let us hope that others will follow the example of the Noble Lord, and that England will yet, in this respect, recover her lost prestige. Were England to become a party to the extinction of a free press in Bel gium, in compliance with the wishes of Louis Napoleon, the next inevitable step on the part of his Imperial Ma jesty would be to demand the destruction of the liberty of the press in this country. And were that liberty gone, every prestige of constitutional freedom would speedily perish with it. The ruler of France asked, almost corns mended, Lord Palmerston, some months ago, to expel all political refugees from our shores, and to destroy that part of our Constitution which affords a safe and sacred asylum to those who have sought our protection against the vengeance of despotic Governments on the Con tinent. Does any one doubt that the man who could ask Lord Palmerston to do this would hesitate at anytlingl Assuredly he would not—not even at seeking to make England, to all intents and purposes, a mere province of Fran cc.

' The d. )ar the registered in London, which in the pre vious w , Lei c.were 1,048, rose last week to 1,087. In the ton • ve eks corresponding to last week of the years 1846.55 ffee average number cf deaths was 1,020, which, if raised wopertionally to increase of population, he comes 1 7 1'4' '2.

The cotton-market is firmer again ; but the change has had no effect here beyond strengthening the bands of those manufacturers who are disposed to hold firmly by last quotations. Buyers have not been influenced by it, and the result has been a very quiet market, in which both home and trade shipping houses have alike refrained as much as possible from business. In cloths it has been felt by sellers that they would be unable to do busi ness without a sensible reduction of prices, say 10. to 3,1. per piece, and this they are mostly unwilling to con cede with cop yarns at present rates. So far as manu facturers have made any abatement—and this has only been done where they have been obliged to sell—it has been at a sacrifice of profit, previous rates, in most cases, not leaving a margin (f remuneration at the pre-ent cost of yarn. In other words, sellers have made no alteration in their price lists, and all that can be said is, that where these are strictly adhered to little or no business has bee❑ effected. Spinners report a very quiet market both for horneconsumption and export, prices being nominally unaltered, but the position of the market tending to rather lower rates. Messrs. John Stagg and Co. report :—" The disincli nation on the part of buyers to do business at the exist ing prices has become more decided during the last few days, and as it is only in very few instances that any con cession is made, the amount of business has again been on a very limited scale. The difference, however, be tween buyer and seller is not very great, as at a reduc tion of lid. to 33. per piece from our quotations a con siderable business might be done; but there is as yet no disposition to give way." Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co. report :—"To day our market has again been dull, and the prices cf many articles exhibit increased weakness. This is more especially the case with India shirtings, which have de clined 3d. to per piece from the highest point." LEEDS, MAY 6. Both clothiers and merchants are anxious about the forthcoming wool sales in London, and while the for mer are not very anxious to sell goods at a shade lower price than they obtained a month ago, the merchants arJ unwilling to make the slightest advance. To-day's market in both the cloth halls has been very quiet, and scarcely as much business has been transacted as on this day se'nnight. The purchases have been confined chiefly to light goods and a few job lots. All parties appear to be acting with considerable caution, and if the same conduct is pursued at the sales of colonial wool which commence on Thursday next, it is probable that the pre sent range of prices for the raw material will not be exceeded. The report of the Huddersfield market to-day is as follows :—" The market presents the appearan ce of little business doing. There are few strangers, and purchases are limited Small transactions have taken place at low prices. Manufacturers are indisposed generally to sell in consequence of expecting a rise in wool. The wool trade is firm, and stocks are low."

The. case bad been referred to the magistrate by the Coentnissioners of Police. Mr. Parry (instructed by Mr. Davies, of Sonlharop• ton-street) att. rated as counsel for the CI mplai nant, and Mr. Wontner defended. Mr. Parry, having opened the case, called the coin. ,p'ainant, Miss Clementine Archer, who stated that she w at present staying at 15, Percy-street, on:a. visit toe is ty Lain, d King, a friene of her fatally. Oa the 29th oft. she acceuepanied Mrs.- King and another lady to Charing-er eis to witness the proclamation of peace, and when near Farrance's,the confectioner, she was parted front her friends by the pi essing of the crowd, but still saw them at a distance. The procession had passed.. Shemar's an effort to rejoin her friends, when a policeman seized her round the waist and forced her back again. Before she had time to speak he eeiz:(l her by the shoe Het s, and-when she said she wished to rejoin two ladies who were with her, he replied that she should not go, as nobody could be Allowed to pass there. He contieued to hold tier in the 4111 ti way, by the shoulders, in spite of her struggles to get free. She jerked herself partly round, and he then drew his staff and struck her a violent blow on the shoulder, upon, .which a gentleman in the crowd cried out, " haare i what are you holding her fur ? Release her inn. n'T;ITTit.I ; youtti all hear of this again." The policeman then threw her from him so violently that but for the support of this gentleman she must have fallen. She re• turned towards the Albion Hotel in Cod:spur-street, feeling faint and ill from the fright, and remained till she was joined by one of her friends. She suffered A good deal from the effect of the blow, chiefly that night and the next day. She was quite cert-tin defendant was the man. She bad sot the slightest doubt of it. Had been with Mr. Mayhew, the husband of a lady of her ao queintance to Scotland-yard, and also to St. George's station, to see the constables, but had not seen any one like the defendant there. Afterwards went to the M.arylehone station for the same purpose. - The first time she went round she did not see the defendant, but the inspector told her to go round again, and on turning to do so she saw the defendant standing beside her, and instantly recognised him. She was so agitated at seeing him that she believed she fainted, but she remembered the charge being taken coon affer. The prisoner said, "I deny using my staff." He did not. deny being the mar. _ _ lii cross•eaaminatiaA by Mr. Wontner, Miss Archer adniitted that in her first account of the assault she said it oocnmed in: WargiclOitrect, She (141_31011 know the spot well, though she had resided many years in Lon don. She awd her friends were all under the impression that the place was called Warwick-street, but she had since bee❑ to the place again and found that she was mistaken as to the name ; it was Cockspur-street. Had told Inspector Hughes that she saw a constable, No. 194, but had never said that 194 was the one who bad strrck her. Re-examined—Mr. Mayhew was present when I' Spector Hughes called, and requested that officer " not to flurry her." Had seen defendant struggling with a man in the crowd before the assault. Mr. Parry applied for an adjournment, on the ground that the publicity which would, no doubt, be given to the crse, might attract the attention of the gentleman mentioned by complainant, but Mr. Jardine thought it only fair to defendant to hear both sides beft re adopting that course. Mrs. Henry Mayhew and Mrs. King spoke to the in• jury sustained by complainant, who had a severe bruise from her shoulder to her breast, which became at one time completely black. Mr. Henry Mayhew supported the evidence of Miss Archer as to the visits to the several police-stations. In cross-examination he admitted that there had been a con versation between him and Inspector Walker about her passing the defendant the first time she went round, bui; she did not hear what was said. She bad previously given a description of the man, which applied to the prisoner, and had led the inspector to imagine that he might be the person meant. Defendant is a Ivan of remarkable appearance, very tall, powerful looking:, and of marked features! Mr. Wontner, after briefly addressing the Court for the defendant, called several witnesses to show that Miss Archer must be mistaken in the identity of the defendant. Four or five other constables deposed to the same effect, and one of the inspectors stated that he selected the defendant for this duty, because he was a " firm and determined" man—by which he only meant that he would do his duty. Mr. Parry applied for a committal or a remand, but Mr.dardine, believing that complainant was mistaken as to the identity of the defendant, and that it was clearly shown he could not be the man, and attaching no weight whatever to his very natural reply, that be had not used his staff at all that day, declined to adopt the course suggested. and at once dismissed the case. Mr. Parry said if that was not the man, some of the constables must know who was. The parties then left the court. WAR DEPARTMENT, MAY 3.

BOARD OF TRADE, MAY 2. A statement having been made by a witness at the in vestigation held at Liverpool, in the matter of the ship 'Mermaid, relative to the depth of water on the bar of the port of Pernambuco, which appeared to Mr. Cowper, her Majesty's Consul there, to be injurious to the interests of the port, as giving an incorrect view of its capabilities for the accommodation of shipping, the following report has been obtained from the chief pilot there, and is published for the information of mariners:— Most Illustrious Sir,—ln reply to the questions which your lordship put to me yesterday, it is my duty to inform you,- Ist. That at spring tides the bar of the port of this city has 20 feet of water, and the mall bar from 16 to 17, wirer which vessels drawing from 14 to 15 feet of water can enter, those drawing as much as 17 can do so no higher up than the Poco. 2d. That as vessels come from the llosqueira in going out, and have to pass the inner btr near the lighthouse, they can do so, only drawing from 14 to 15 feet, with a favourable wind. 31—lastly, the great bar of which I first . spoke, being in a line with the Recipe, is open to the swell ; that within the harbohr, whieh is the greater impediment, is in smooth water. I may add, although the question was not put to me by your Lordship, that in those andaorages called the Lam erao and Samonbeos, vessels of.any draft of water can load and unload with facility. God preserve your Lordship. Pernambuco, March 12, 1856. (Signed) JOSE FAUSTINO POSTO, Chief Pilot. The Most Illustrious H. Augustus • Cowper, Consul of England. BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHA.LL, rttAY 5.

The building will be closed on Thursday to admit of the preparations being made. TRADE WITH RUSSIA. We read in the St. Petersburg Northern Bee of April 22 : " Since the:beginning of this month a stoppage has taken place in our business matters. The p r i ce of Rus sian products has fallen at London out of p ro p o rtion with the prices at this,city. It res ults that the tr aders the ne merchants, of St. to make new purchases t. Petersburg, holders of r Russianhands e, are in no hurry on their part, being little disposed to lower p r i ces, as they are firmly persuaded that a rise in our p r i nc i pal articles of export is imminent upon the opening of the navigation at the time of the arrivals from the interior. "It is with the greatest satisfaction that we se a at St. Petersburg, from the foreign journals, that the London Bouree takes a lively interest in the con struction of the railway from Riga to Dunabourg. From information received by private letters we learn that many companies are being formed in England for the construction in Russia of some other lines, which will also be advantageous for our commerce and for our country, as well as for English capitalists themselves, who by this will put their capital to a much more profitable account than they could do in England. The construction of railways by private in dividuals being authorised by the government, com mercial men applaud these wise and useful projects, and entertain the most sincere wishes for their sue. cess." MEMOIRS OF THE COURT OF THE REeIENCY. From Original Family Documents. By the DUKE OF BUCK. INGHAM AND CHANDOS, K.G., 2 vols.—" Here are two more goodly volumes on the English Court; volumes full of blood and fruit, of new sayings, pictures, anec dotes, and scenes. The Duke of Buckingham travels over nine years of English history. Bat what years those were, from 1811 to 1820 ! What events at home and abroad they bore to the great bourne l —from the accession of the Regent to power to the death of George lll.—including the fall of Percival—the invasion of Rus,is, and the war in Spain—the battles of Salamanca and Borodino—the fire of Moscow—the retreat of Na poleon—the conquest of Spain—the surrender of Napo leon— the war in America —the destruction of Washing. ton—the return from Elba—the Congress of Vienna -the Hundred Days—the crowning carnage of Water. loo—the exile to St. Helena—the return of the Bour bons—the settlement of Europe—the public scandals at the English Court—the popular dit:content, and the Mae sacra of Peterloo ! On many parts of this story, the do cuments published by the Duke of Buckingham cast new jets of light, clearing tit, touch secret history. Old stories are confirmed. New trias of character are brought out. In short, many new and pleasant addition s are made to oar knowledge of those times."—Athenoum.
