SEASON 1856. It is respectfully announced that the OPERA SEASON ' 'will COMMENCE on SATURDAY, the 10th of May. On resuming the perfoanances which have been suspended ..„"tring the last three years, the Director of her Majesty's Jateatre is anxious to assure the patrons of the' Opera and 'the public;that no exertion shall be wanting to secure fom - this establishment that high position it so long inaintained7 and he trusts that the renewal of the enterprise under more= • airosperous auspices will be aecompanied with that favour and support which no frequenter of the Opera needs to be "minded were for.so many years' accorded to a brilliant and lineetssful management. ' The seceeeien, 1847, of many of those performers who bad long been attached to the Opera .House was the corn • ' e a leneetneut of a loog tind arduous struggle to maintain the • fortune s of the old house ; and it was not till the wealth of fear huccessive competitors hadbeen fruitlessly lavished upon the ri va l theatre, that Mr. Lumley was reluctantly compelled to retire from the contest. . Prom that time to the present Mr. Lumley's efforts have been unremitting to re-open her Majesty's Theatre upon a P e ertnenent basis, and to restore the Opera to its ancient aome. He has received liberal encouragement from every and, effectually aided by noble and generous support a quarter where the refinements of art and tast e n e ver 'au to find a patron, he is now enabled gratefully to announce the immediate resumption of performances. • „ ei At e the present moment-therii are vocalists, of an excellence - ` l, tem surpassed, who have never been heard by an English Public. Of thes e 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 i nteresting alsociations, ai 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 , • a ccident of cons tr uc ti o n a result has been attained that science bas failed to explain, and that no architect could engage to reproduce, by which the faintest tones and the most delicate Y eealisation penetrate with unimpaired clearness to the re motest recesses of the vast edifice. The arrangements completed and in progress, both in Opera and Ballet, will, it is:confidently hoped, be thought worthy of the former reputution of the Theatre, and of the just ex ' Pectations of its distinguished supporters. In I consequence of the late period. at which it was resolVed ` to L 'Veil the Theatre, the arrangements, satisfactary as it is "Ped they will even now be found, are not yet fully corn Noted ; and negotiations are in progress from which impor twit accessions are expected.- - The following arrangements have been completed OPERA.

That the Government of the United States does not understand under what title Great Britain, having aban doned the greatet' part of these possessions in 1786, re sumed them subsequently ; nor does it know precisely at what period the protectsrate of Great Britain over Mos quito was re-established, the first intimation which the United States Government had received on the subject be ing from an American agent in 1842 ' • and that, moreover, Captain Bonny cas tl e , and other authorities, had never re presented the Mosquito shore as extending as far as the river and town of San Juan de Nicaragua, which latter the Spaniards had considered a place of much importance, and the key to the Americans. . "3. That it appears to the United States Government that Spain, in virtue of the treaty of 1786, had a right to object to Great Britain establishieg herself on the aloi quito coast, or assuming the protectorate of Mosquito ; and that Great Britain hall)) , her treaty with Mexico recOg nised that the former colonies of Spain stood in the same position with respect to other States as Old Spain herself, and inherited the advantages of the ancient treaties of the mother country ; that the United States' Government had always contested 'the claim of Great Britain to all the posy see.ions hell hy.her in Central America, with the excep tion of that portion of the settlement of Belize which is situate betwet n the Rio Hondo and the Sibun ; that it had always resisted the right of Great Britain to establish a pro tectorate over the Mosquito; and that it had learnt with great surprise and regret that the British forces had, in 1848, expelled the Nicaraguan authorities, which held the port and town of San Juan de Nicaragua iu virtue of the Old Spanish rights, and had then hoisted thereupon the flag of the Mosquitos. "4. That Mr. Monroe, when President of the United States, had, in 1823, annouliceci in a public message to Congress tint the American continents were not hence forth to be considered subject to colonization by European Powers. ' "5. That no claim on the part of Great Britain to act in the name or under the authority of the.Mosquitoludians could be well founded, inasinich as the face, even if never conquered by Spain, were savages who, accerding to the practice and principles of all European nations which had over acquired territory on the continent of America, had no title to rank as independent States in the territory they occupied, but had a claim to mere occupancy thereon, such territory being the dominion of the discoverer of it, or oven of the discoverer of t-rritory on the same continent, though far distant from it, by whom alone this china to mere occupancy on the part of the Indians was to be ex tinguished by purchase as the advances of the White set tlements rendered it necessary. " And, finally, that Great Britain, having declared by treaty in iB5O that she would neither colonise, fortify, oc cupy, nor mourn's) dominion over Mosquito or Central Ame rica, was thereby, at all events, bound to withdraw - her protection from the people and territory of the Mosquitos, and moreover to deliver up Ruatan, which was an island belonging to Honduras, a Central American State, but which, nevertheles-, had recently been colonised and occu pied by Great Britain. "Such are tha main points brought forward by Mr. Bu chanan in the statement which he has delivered to her Majesty's Government. " If, in speaking of the possessions held by Great Britain previous to 1850 on the coost of Central America (the set tlement of Belize excepted), Mr. Buchanan means that his expressions should apply to that district which is called the Mosquito country, it is proper that her Majesty's Govern ment should at once state that her Majesty has never held any possessions whatsoeve r in the Mosquito country. But, although Great Britain held no possessions in the Mosquito country, she undoubtedly exercised a great and extensive influence over it as the protecting ally of the Mosquito King; that King or chief having occasionally been even crowned at Jamaica under the auspices of the British authorities. " The United States' Government will, it is apprehended, scarcely expect that Great Britain should enter into any explanation or defence of her conduct with respect to acts committed by her nearly 40years ago, in a matter in which uo right or possession of the United States was involved. " The Government of the United States would, it is con ceived, be much and justly surprised if the Government of Great Britain were now to question the propriety of any of its own long past acts by which no territorial right of Great Britain had been affected ; nor would. the American people consider any justification or explanation of such acts to foreign States consistent with the dignity and in dependent position of the United States. " The Government of the United States, therefore, will not be surprised if the Government of Great Britain ab stains on this occasion from entering into anything which might appear an explanation or defence of its conduct with regard to its long-established protectorate of the Mosquitos. " With respect to any right, or any interference, on the part of the Government of Old Spain on the subject of the Mosquito protectorate, it must be observed that since the peace of 1815 that Government has never raised any ques tion with respect to this protectorate ; and as for Great Britain having by her treaty with Mexico recognised, as a principle, that the engagements between herself and Spain were necessarily transferred to every fraction of the Spanish monarchy which now exists, or may exist, on a distinct and independent basis, her Majesty's Government must entirely deny this assumption. Great Britain, in her treaty with Mexico, simply stipulates that British subjects should not be worse off under Mexico independent than under Mexico when a Spanish province. It was natural in recognising the independence of Mexico that Great Britain should make such a stipulation; but the fact of her doing so rather proves that she thought a special stipulation necessary, and that she did not conceive that she would have enjoyed un der any general principle the privilege she bargained for ; and this stipulation, as indeed the treaty itself, is a proof that Mexico was not considered as inheriting the obliga tions or rights of Spain. " Bet, admitting that it may in some cases be expedient, although not obligatory, to recognise the rights and obliga tions of Old Spain as vested in the new Spanish-American States; and allowing that, in conformity with that policy, Great Britain might have thought proper to receive, con cerning Mosquito, the remoustrances of those neighbouring republics which have successively risen in America on the ruins of the Spanish empire; even then it may be observed that no remonstrance was made by any of such republics for many years after the protectorate of Great Britain over Mosquito had been a fact well known to them ; and, more over, that when such remonstrances were made, they were made with similar pretensions, not by one only, but by several of those Governments, insomuch that, if the Mos quito Indians were at this moment withdrawn altogether from the portion of America which they now inhabit, and if it were permitted to the States of Spanish origin to in herit-, each respectively, the claims of their parent State, it would still be a question on which of the claimants the territory thus left unoccupied would of right devolve ; while it is certain that such withdrawal,•without previous arrangements, would lead to contests alike disadvantageous to the real interests of the several States and to the gene ral prosperity of Central America herself. " Thus much with reference to the conduct and position of Spain and the Central American States with regard to , the British protectorate in Mosquito ; but, with respect to the conduct and position of the United States relative thereto, Mr. Buchanan is mistaken in thinking that the United. States' Government has always contested and re aisted the position assumed by Great Britain on the Mos quito coast. "It may be true that the United States were not in formed of the position of Great Britain in respect to Mos quito until 1842, but they . were then informed of it; and yet there is no trace of their having alluded to this ques tion in their communications with her Majesty's Govern ment up to the end of 1849. Nay, in 185 0, when the Pre sident of the United States presented to Congress various papers relative to the affairs of Central America, it will be seen that, on introducing these affairs to the attention of Congress, the President's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs expressly says that the Government of Nicaragua, in November, 147, solicited the aid of the United States' Government to prevent an anticipated attack on San Juau by the British forces on behalf of the Mosquito King, but received no answer ; that tho President of Nicaragua ad dressed the President of the United States at the same time, and received no answer ; that in April, lalB, the United States! Consul at Nicaragua, at the request of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of that republic, stated the oc cupation of San Juan by a British force, but was not answered ; that on the s th - of N ovem ber , 1848, M. Cas tellon, - proceeded to London from Nicaragua, and then to Washington, addressed a letter to the United States' Secre tary of State, soliciting his intervention with regard to the claims of 'Great Britain in right of the Mosquito King, and received no answer; that on the 12th of RIT'YLL ROOMS -LAURENT'S CASINO L$ • NOW OPEN for . the winter sclson.

A,,s to Ruatan and the adjoining islands, all that can be debateable as to them is, whether they are island depen dencies of Belize, or attached to some Central American State. 7~ t''"'"rt'^ 4, X _ Y - s~ l~ ~' ~ ..~.~..b ~~~~~ ~~~ Now it cannot be disputed that whenever Ruatan has been permanently occupied, either in remote or recent times, by anything more than a militaryguard or flagstaff, the occupation has been by British subjects. ' It is tree that the Republic of Central America declared that it had a flag flying in that island from 1421 to 1839 ; bnt this feet merely rested on that Republic's declaration, and all that is positively known is that when the British Government were aware that a foreign flag was flying at Ruatan, a British ship of war was sent to haul it down, and since that time no attempt has been made to re-establish it; but, on the contrary, when on two or three occasions complaints have been brought by the citieens of Central Aniericin States against the settlers in Ruatan to the com mandant of Truxillo, the commandant has referred the= to Belize, telling them that the island was British. It is, moreover, a fact that Ruatan has been of labs years') Without Lneinstigation on the part of her Majesty's Go vernment, spontaneously occupied by British subjects, and that the superintendent of Belize has been in the habit of visiting the island, appointing the magistrates in it, and generally managing its affairs. In going back to an cient times it is also well known that in 1742 the English were formerly settled at Ruatan, and that in the atlas of the West Indian islands published by Jefferies, the King's geographer, in 1796, Rattan or Ruatan is coloured as a British possession ; and although this island and that of Bonacca have doubtless been at various times left unoc cupied, and at others claimed or held by other powers, it it certain that in 1838, 1839, or 1810, Great Britain _pot only asserted her right to the same, but declared her in. tention to maintain that right by force. nom circumstances, without enter ing further into the subjec;;, will at least prove that the pretensions of Great Britain to consider Rnatan and Bonacca dependencies of Belize are of long standing, and existed certainly at the period of the treaty of 1850. Indeed, Mr. Buchanan, in his statement, observes that Ruatan was occupied in 1850 by Great -Britain. But if Ruatan was at that time known to be o cupit d by Great Britain as a settlement of Belize, and the United States' Government notwithstanding con sidered it to have been a portion of Central America, and thereby comprehended in the treaty—which Belize and its dependencies were not—the United States' Government would beyond doubt have openly stated that it did not consider Ruatan included in the term "island dependen cies;" and Great Britain was therefore justified, since no such exception was made, in deeming that her claim to Ruatan, as a part of the Belize settlement, was not about to be disputed. Her Majesty's Government deems that it has by the foregoing observations furnished an adequate reply to the statement of Mr. Buchanan, and proved that the obliga tions of the treaty have in no respect being infringed. But having performed this ,duty, her Majesty's Govern ment desires to say that it woold be far more to its satis faction to arrange on fair terms any differences of opinion with the Government of the Uai,ted States than to prolong discussion and argument rtspecta‘ng such differences. has also no difficulty in adding tract although it did not, by the treaty of 1850, abandon the right of Great Britain to protect the Mosquitos, yet it did ';intend to reduce and limit the exercise of that right. Tile practical difference between Gras Britain and the United States, with regard to the only neutually important portion of Mosquito—namely, that portion to which the construction and condition of the canal, which formed the origin and basis of the treats of 1850, applies„ is very small i :deed. Th..t difference does not turn up ee k t the point whether GreA Britain should retain her pr-stoction over the port and town of San Juan, and the norther. a bank of that river, but upon the conditions on which ,heat protec tion should be withdrawn. In short, the practical qrestien at issue rolativ e grey town, and that part of the Mosquito country botieriag upon the river San Juan, is not whether Great 'l3."ltain should, directly or indirecil ,- , exercise domini of owe r the same, but whither Nictraeu , or some other equally hide pen,leut state, should obtain possession there'd. in a, m" - nor consonant with the hone irable obligati( as of Great Brit an the peace xif the central American continent, and the saf ety from persecution of the Mosquito Indians; 42r. n the other hand, whether Nicaragua should be put in possession of that tertitory in a manner almost certain to produce hostilities but Weeu Nioaragua and Costa Rica, an to lead to the persecution and destruction of the Mosquito people; au alternative to which Great Britain could not conseat, and which the Government of the United States c, ul.t have no motive iu requiring. It, is true that in that mole remote portion of the Mos quito territory where the chief or King of the Mesquites himself resides, a British tonsil or agent also resides ; and this I , silent may often t imes be called upon to give his opinion or advice to the Mosquito Government, as is usual when weak G vernments are in alliance with strong ones, more especially when those strong ones have agreed to pro. tea the weak ones from external aggression. and may there fore reasonably expect to have such influence over their policy as may prevent them from giving just pretext for invasion. It, is true also that Englishmen ma thus be in the coun cils of . the King of Mosquito, acting as his Ministers ; but Englishmen and Americans both hold the same position in the. Sandwich Islands, the government of which is carried on by foreigners, but is nevertheless (and the race is Indian) considered and treated as independent. To alter this state of things might at the present moment be impossible, but her Majesty's Government woufd be ready and willing to enter into such engagements as should prevent Great Bri- tain from.receiving any privileges or advantages from the Mosquito Government not granted,to other States. Her Majesty's Gpvernment can 'hardly anticipate any difficulty at this time with the United States respecting the continental establishment of Honduras, the limits of which, in 1830, were so well known, anti can be so easily ascertained, and which will not be extended ; but having shown that its pretensions to the islands •of Ruatan and BODEICCM are of no recent date, and that they were unques tioned by the United States Government in 1850, her Ma jesty's Government cannot admit that an alteration in the internal form of government of these islands is a violation of the treaty, or affords a just cause of remonstrance to the United States. There are at all limes two modes of dealing with matters of business between nations ; the one calculated to excite mutual irritation, the other to mitigate it ; the one tending to prolong and increase differences, the other to diminish and remove them. The latter is the mode which her Majesty's Government earnestly desires in the present instance to adopt and to SW adopted, for it can hardly be necessary to say that there is no Government with which the people and Government of Great Britain more sincerely desire to live in intimate and friendly relations than that of the United States.. It is in accordance with the spirit which her Majesty's Government thus distinctly avows that her Msjesty's Government thus proposes to that of the United States : That the twa Governments of Great Britain and the United States should at once endeavour to oome to some friendly understanding as to the government which should be definitively formed at Greytown, in order to admit of the Mosquito authority being withdrawn therefrom ; and as to the engagements which such Government should enter into with regard to the claims of Costa Rica, and the future non-molestation of the Mosquitos ; and that the two Governments should endeavour, in the same manner, to come to some friendly understanding as to the mode by which protection may be most effectually afforded to the Mosquito Indians. It is the desire of her Majesty's Government, not only to maintain the Convention of Isso intact, but to consoli date and strengthen it by strengthening and consolidating the friendly relations which it was calculated to cement and perpetuate. Her Majesty's Government regrets that any misunderstanding should have arisen with respect to its terms ; but it entertains the firm belief that, by the explanations it has now given, and the proposals it makes, that misunderstanding will bs completely removed.

The county of Stafford has again been the scene of a fearful and revolting tragedy, the horror of which is, however, very much mitigated by the conviction that the perpetrator of it was the subject of mental aberra tion at the time of the commission of the terrible act. Alstonefield, where the frightful occurrence has taken place, is an extensive parish in Staffordshire, on t he . con fines of Derbyshire, from which latter county it a sepa rated by the River Dove. The village is picturesque!), situated on a western declivity above Dovedale, and is ten miles from Leek, and six from Ashbourn, in Derby- shire. A cottage at Archford Moor, a secluded part of the parish, lying between Alstonefield and Hulmeend, was occupied by Thomas Berrisf ird, an old man, and two relatives of his, named Ann Edge, aged 76, and Betsey E. - 1:4 , e, 56 years of age the latter being familiarly called B e tty Edge," be i ng a niece of the old woman. The two women occupied one bed, and the o ld man s l e pt in an adjoining bed in the same room. On Wednesdayeven lag last, the oe upants of the cottage retired to rest as usual, nothing out of the o r di nary course h av i ng 'le ctured during the day. O n Th urs d ay morn ing, Betty Edge, seized, it is supposed, by some unaccountable frenzy, got up at 5 o'clock, and went down stairs, and having procured a hatchet, she returned to the bed room and dealt her aged aunt, who was lying asleep. several blows with it on the head. The noise a the blows awakened the old man, who was lying in the adjoining bed, and he instantly arose and seized the murderess as she was in the act of striking her victim another violent blow, but he was too late to save the old woman's life. The poor old woman, whose head and face were shock• ingly disfigured, was unconsciins, but not quite dead. She was attended by Mr.' Cridge, surgeon, of Bank Tt.p, near Sheen, but she died in about an nour. Information of the terrible occurrence was imme diately given to Polce-constable Critchlow, and he forth" with took Betty Edge into custody. No motive is &a scribed for the commission of the deed. The murderess has been ill, and under medical attendance for some time previously, and from all that we can learn there is every reason to believe that at the tim e of the commis sion of the fatal deed she was not in a sound state of mind.—Staffordshire Advertiser.
