Yet another seat lost to the Government and gained to the Opposition ! And the change is effected, too, in this instance, it will be seen, under rather peculiar circumstances. Under circumstances as peculiar, perhaps, as any that have yet come to light since the commencement of what is called (and with teason) the Conservatism reaction. We speak thus,, moreover, of this recent contest—a contest BO recent that it was completed, for that matter, only yesterday—down at Tanworth, with a vivid recollection the while of Mr. Bus- FIELD FERRAND'S Tory triumph as an Oppo sitio a candidate down at Davenport, in open defiance of the influence, power, and authority of Government. It is true that Mr. PEEL who has just now been returned as the representative of the Tamworth constituency is hardly quite avowedly a Derbyite. But, at any rate, he is any thing in the wide world of politics, even a Der' , yite, rather than what his opponent Mr. COWPER appealed to the electors of Tamworih b thick and thin supporter of the Palmerston Govern ment. Tae announcement simply of the fact—that a I\Lr. PEEL has been returned as .11I,P. for the borough of Tamworth, seems to read, no doubt, as a mere matter of course. But then, it should at ()tee be borne in mind that the Mr. PEEL in quevion came to the hustings and. went to the pole not only uncountenanced by the PEELS of Tam worth, but openly and vigorously opposed by tlaete. It has been rendered, nevertheless, matter notorious throughout the country during the contest that Mr. PEEL, now M.P. for Tamworth, is all this while, though frowned upon by the lord of Drayton, not only a relative of the PEELS of that renowned house, but in point of fact a son of the elder branch of the family. Notwithstanding which claim to the attention and countenance of the third. Sir ROBERT PEEL, the present owner of Drayton Manor, Mr. PEEL, now M.P. for Tam- Worth, is cold-shouldered and frowned down, and altogether diseountenanced as systematically and as pertina c ious as though he wer e some pour re l at i on with a damaged reputation, and a shabby coat, and a bar sinister across his escutcheon. Instead of all, thiswhich b ei n g in any way the case in rega r d t o scouted and flouted, yet in the end vic torious Mr. PEEL, now M.P. for Tamworth— be is rich, indeed, golden opinions" he has t wc nothing else, in the in there (hard by th e won family seat) from " all aorta of men"—his coat he has not even (like some others) had occasion, yet, to turn_his escutcheon being, moreover, not only un marred by the bar sinister but newly illustrated bins© its symbolism by his recent proceedings, In tes timony of which hav e not hi s supporters,;here, b ee n as busy as "bees" in hi s b ehal, and d ma y not his motto be newly emphasized ital i c i se d, and freshly emblazoned —per industria Know i ng , as we do, the very active p art taken in thi s co ntest by Sir RO BER T PEEL , the ignomini ous defeat of his chosen candidate, Mr. COWPER, h is , in truth, about it a very especial significance. It is an intimation, of the most signal kind that could well have been given anywhere, of the declension of lat e of the popularity of the Government, and of the increase and expansion of the movement latterly going on bv the name of the Conserva tive reaction. Of both these things there cannot Possibly be any longer the smallest tnisapprehen -Bioo. These is a Conservative reaction. No matter what '' l 'r prejudices or predilections in regard to it—there it is undeniab y, flagrantly, notoriously, all round us. Equally visible has it become that there is a Perceptible decrease in the popularity of the Goveratzent. This fact is as patent to every one gifted with eyesight or with hearing, as that other f act (illustrating it) that seat after seat for a long- while past has been dr Apin g over from the Government to the p osition. h arein the instance of Tamworth i•; the latest of ,\i . PEEL'S triumph down at Tamworth being S O re fact, by his chief suPPurte r point of it :- th own -4 of the Man or , owner of Drayton, colleague Con of the borough, and beyond riePresenta e i that,the a member of Lerd PALMERSTON'S AdaliaiStr his capacity as Irish Secretary ! Pro o f p , ,s . a t t . i " , in. event is, indeed, of the unpopularity gained fori,l. self, even in his own neighbourhood, by the righttn Lou. beronct the Secretary fo r Ireland. Riding rough-shod over his o wn p e ople, down at Tarnwortb, he has been fairly gravelled. Yet all the while he. seccs to have been hitneelf so serenely unconscious of the egregious dilemma into which hs has tbus blundered no very deliberately! When being yelled and hooted and groaned after by his own people yesterday in the borough of Tamworth, Sir ROBERT PEEL is told by one stentorian person in the crowd, while pointing to an elector who had just then been giving his vote for Mr. PEEL —"Here's a man who's voted against COWPER !" What is the First Secretary's dignified rejoinder ? "Then bonnet him!" Where upon the elector referred to is bonaetted accordingly. Sir ROBERT PEEL himself all the while, though him self apparently quite unconscious of having under gone the operation at all, Sir ROBERT PEEL having himself been more distinctly bonnetted than any one about him, and this not in the sight of Tamworth merely, but of all England—and Ireland ! The result of this noi s y con t e st altogether, has, in one word, been—exemplary ! y on be ve lo h r i e ch we it: tempt to act. at tempt wise Therearea g h to od oibe deliberate long and d questionscare carefully oteodloma n n We do well to take time to consider our verdict, to reflect upon the evidence which has led us to the conclusions we have arrived at, and to allow the first excitement and enthusiasm of dis cussion and debate to pass over before we attempt to turn our theories into practice. There are other matters, however, in which delay is fatal, and action urgent ; in which the procrastination of every week or month suffers the evil to grow more rapidly, to extend its baneful influence more widely, and does mischief which the best and wisest will be unable to undo. Among these we may certainly reckon the excessive mortality in India, a mortality whose full extent we do not and cannot know, from the absence of a general system of registration. NV e may guess enough from the terrible statistics re cently brought to light—statistics not only since uncontradicted bat confirmed in every important particular. The average death-rate of the British troops inlndia, exclusive of those invalided and those dying on their way to England, is 69 per 1,000; or assuming the An,glo-Indian army to be 73,000, that army loses on an average a whole brigade a year. These startling facts have just been considered in a very able paper read at one of the sittings of the Social Science Congress, in the department of Public Health. The essay proceeded from the clear head, enlarged experience, and sound judgment of FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE; and the marked atten tion with which it was listened to proved the uni versal respect and esteem in which our English Saint FILOMENA is held. Prince ALFRED joined the meet ing for the especial purpose of hearing this paper, feeling a natural and praiseworthy interest in a ques don affecting so large a body of his mother's subjects. Miss NIGHTINGALE, who was unfortunately unable to ;es present, began her treatise by remarking that the question dealt with was one of the most impor tant of the day, since it had been conclusively shown that unless the present enormous death rate were reduced we should never be able to maintain a British army in India. It has been said that as the death rates of the war year were the highest (not from wounds), peace, and not sanitary measures, was the remedy. To this suggestion Miss NIGHTIN GALE indignantly exclaims from the depths of her bitter experience, " As well might it be said that because the British army had nearly perished before Sebastopol, not from wounds, bat from want of every supply of civilised life, peace, and not the sup ply of the wants of civilised life, was the remedy." [he dangers to which the European constitution is exposed in India are very great, but the climate is by no means the greatest. The English inaptitude to assume foreign habits and customs is cited among the drawbacks of the soldier. If he has been a large eater and hard drinker ire a cold climate, and with hard outdoor labour, he will continue the seme habits in a tropical country in enforced idleness. ['his very idleness, which is the source of so many evils, affords every encouragement to intemperate habits, and too much blame can scarcely be attached to the regulation which permits the soldier in India to drink two drams, or fez, of raw spirit every day ; a quantity amounting in the year to 181 gallons. A hearty country youth, accustomed to plain scanty fare and constant outdoor exercise, to whom rum is a luxury, is suddenly transported into an oppres sively hot climate, fed largely, and allowed an amount of spirit which far exceeds the ave rage consumption in Scotland, famous es it is for its dram-drinking. H© is besides suf fered to live a life of almost total idleness, a life which brings a whole train of vices after it, and he is debarred by the tropical sun from the outdoor exercise to which he has always been accus tomed. Such a transition of itself goes far to ex plain the excessive mortality ; but Miss NIGHTIN - GALE denies that the prime cause of the evil is to be found in individual vice, intemperance, or mis management. The want of drainage and of water are carried to an extent which poisons the air and renders our stations and barracks, and still more our native towns, hotbeds of fever and cholera. Miss NIGHTINGALE sums up the question very briefly when she says simply—" That there is no drainage either in town or country. As regards water, not a single barrack has either waterpipes or drainpipes. Pumps are unknown, and such water as there is, is nrought in skins by men and bullocks, its quality being often as inferior as its quantity. If such were our arrangements in England, no tempe rance of life or climate would exempt us from epidemics ; and bad as is the state of things in Anglo-Indian towns, in the native towns it is far worse. The air for some distance round the latter is described as positively foul. No wonder that in such a country plague and pestilence are the ordinary state of things. ",Take," says Mies NIGHTINGALE, "the worst condition of the worst and most neglected districts at home, multiply it ten and a hundred times over—and this is, to say the least of it, the normal condition of every city and town in India." And this in a country which has been for a century under British rale. The criminal neglect has been bitterly avenged. Not with their lluivesyiot: l o n u d r i aeminentb u nn t only h ave n etnho paid epidemicsforfei t and miasmatic diseases constantly brooding there extend by degrees their malignant influence even to Europe. The laws are not which g overn ep id em i cs yet fully understood, ,but their pro gress weaerv ae d has been often traced. The plagues of former times have originat e d i n w supposed to the East, and an to have moved slowly on in their death -march to more temperate climes. It is strange that Eng land, the foremost in her eagerness for sanitary reform and a due observance of the laws of physio logy at ho m e, should wilfully suffer so large and populous an area beneath her own dominion, though under a sun that trebles every danger, to deserve the epithet of " the f ocus of epidemics." Strange Fear, she should gath er h er brave that, fear by young recruits and send them forth knowin g l y to face death, not in the trench of a siege or the field ly packed rooms of th e i r of battle, but in the close own undrained, ill-built barracks, where sickn ess comes in every breath of air wafted over the fetid accumulations around, and the very water they drink sometimes carries cholera with it. Strange, tee, that th e grea t wor k o f irrigation, Bo profitable as Welle s so necessary, should be so feebly and par tially carried on when able, energetic men are waitin g eager for the task. But so long as the land tax core safely and promptly to the exche quer, what matter s it whether the people die orlive ? So l ong as the same spier, comfortable rou- TIM SON.

Let the recommendations of the commis sionersand promptly carried out, and l e t theoffi be ce fu rso l f l h y ealth for each district be appointed, not from favour, seniority, or influence, but from their energy and fitness for the task. Let the state of our barracks be at once looked to, and let them be as far as possible removed from marshy hollows and river banks to the dry and airy hill stations, from whence, if needed, they could be quickly sum moned by rail. Our ladian authorities had better look to it, for not even regard for the influential connection of the GREYS will induce Englishmen to suffer official inaction and incapacity any further to trifle with the lives of their fello w-subjtcts. An interesting ceremony took place on Saturday in the Collegiate Institution of Liverpool ; and espe cial interest was imparted to the proceedings, from the fact that the Earl of DERBY, who presided at the distribution of the prizes, himself laid the foun dation stone twenty-three years ago. There is no living orator who, better than Lord DERBY, can perform a task of this kind. The genial style of the noble lord's discourses, and his ready sym pathy with the progress and prospects of educa tion peculiarly fitted him for the undertaking. His long and comprehensive speech will be found replete with interest, and will well repay perusal by all who take any pains to inform themselves of the state of education generally, which, without reference to any particular branch or especial de partment, is always well qualified to engage atten tion, and to attract notice. As Lord DERBY re minded his hearers, at the outset, twenty-three years was not a long period in the life of an in stitution like that before them, hut it was quite long enough to enable them to take a retrospec tive view of the establishment and progress of the college. It was always useful, and also interesting, to look back to some definite period, and from that starting-point watch how much progress has been made, and of what sort, and in what direction. Nearly all these queries might be answered satis fectorily, if we trace the history of education from fifty years ago, when, as the noble president ob served, be himself s had been an Eton school boy. The deficiency of education at that time was a striking subject for general regret, and even when pains was taken the know ledge acquired was not of the class that befitted men for the actual and active business of life. The elegant, refined, and classic style pre vailed to the almost total exclusion of the useful, the practical, and the work-a-day character of instruction. It is well that a change has taken place in this respect, and if those addicted to old forms and time-honoured customs are indignant at the idea of innovation and the mention of alteration , they should be impressed with the earnest language of one who has done great honour to the old s chool in which he was reared, and during an active career in politics has always retained the memory of the elegant studies in which he once took a distinguished part. Those social levellers who, like Mr. BRIGHT, consider that all the aristocracy are upstart and pretentious, and can recognise no good, nor acknowledge no greatness that does not exist within the limits of their own order, ought in common justice to study those passages of Lord DERBY'S harangue, in which he lays great stress on the benefits that have ensued from the spread of knowledge, and the more liberal views that are entertained regarding the culture of the lower orders. But espreially has the state of the m iddle classes been improv e d. L or d DERBY tru ly re marked that this t erm " m iddl e classes " i s use d in a " colloquial and we ll un d erstood significance , b u t it would be difficult t o d e fi ne i ts l i m i ts. O n t he one hand, the descendant of the peer is absorbed in the second generation with the community ; and, on the other hand,we see daily the ranks of the peerage and of the higher classes recruited from the middle and lower class of the community, giving fresh life, fresh blood, an d f resh energy to the ran k s into which they en t er, and g i ving more encourage ment and more s ti mu l us to those from which t h e y pro ceed." S uc h a d e fi n i t i on of our social status c omes well from the representative of an old aristocracy, and in his able description we may trace the germs of our greatness as a nation, and the secret of our strength as a people. It is because no one feels himself really shut out from the intercourse with those above him who has the talent to obtain notice, and th e s ki ll to impress his enterprise upon t h e spirit o f his gene ra ti on , th at th ere do not arise those acerbiti es o f f eel i ng and that bi t t er ness of jealousy that too often disturb and distract canti- Rental countries and foreign States. All this is owing to the spread of education. That is the only real and legitimate equaliser of men. This high and honourable influence lowers none, but raises all who c ome under its sway. No uprooting of t h rones, an d and casting sceptres a n d crowns i n t o the dust, can ever mak e a demagogue dom t o th e b ully who heads the mob, or knowledge to th e fit to rule, or impart wis conceited upstart who assumes to know everything by intuition. It is the great blessing of our age, en d the crowning triumph of oar e ff orts, that where th e past possessed units, we can number tens of tho usands who can bring the resu l ts of their own information to bear upon the events of tho present day, and can use the self-control that self. culture has taught to them to exercise patience if they do not attain their desires at once ; while they ectploy perseverance efteadily, but surely, to win the day at last. In the subdued light in which reason views coasts, ambition finds a safer road to travel by on which to obtain distinction, and by which to gain influence and power over their fellow-men, than the boisterous ways in which it was sought in the last generation. Mr. DISRAELI very forcibly touched upon this for tunate change that has been effected in an address to the Manchester Athenoeum some years back, — "Instead of the strong arm, it is now the strong head that is the moving principle of society ; you li have disenthroned force, and placed on its high seat intelligence?' Due honour should be awarded to those who, like Lord DERBY, come forward to give their aid and assistance to this great work of public i nstruct i on and national education—to adorn its meetings with their incomparable eloquence, and to advocate its tenets with the power that a high position affords, and the influence that great abi iities must always confer. There are many and great errors in our present ways of life; some evils, it is to be feared, none of this generation who have attained adolescence may live to see remedied and a m ng rectified ; b ut there is unlimited scope for satisfac tion in th e almost universal extension of learning mo and ly the et obnmand oo tdt r populationeoestpuea prosper is ands o f i t ardently ebffinucts efficacious land.otuos be means desire l'h d of i t , ensuring its success is to have, at stated times, the subject brought befor e us in a conspicuous and com prehensive manner.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. [REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.] DENMARK. BERLIN, Oct 13. Intelligence received here from reliable sources states that Sweden will not sign the Treaty of Alliance of Denmark. The reason is stated to be that the Stockholm Rigsraad believed the signature would be productive of no benefit, but great disadvantage to the conclu sion of the railway loan of 35,0 1 )0,000 just deter mined upon. It is further stated that the French and Russian Ambassadors at Copenhagen have impressed upon the Government the importance of maintaining peace. SPAIN, MADRID, OCT. 13.

The Botschafter of this evening asserts that Eng land and France were agreed to despatch notes to St. Petersburg, declaring Russia to have forfeited the rights conferred on her by the Treaty of Vienna. Negociations," adds the Botschafter, " appear to have taken place at Vienna with the object of maintaining the agreement at present existing upon the subject of common action. In consequence of these negotiations the two notes would not be forwarded to Petersburg, and a statement of the case would be drawn up." THE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, Ocr. 13. The royal mail steamer Seine, with the above mail, arrived off the Needles at 12.20 p.m. to-day. FRANCE. PARIS, OCT. 13. The Constitutionnel of to-day contains an article signed by M. Limayrac, replying to the criticisms of the press upon the article " Poland under the protection of Europe," published recently by the Constitutionnel. M. Liniayrae explains the difference between French interest and European interest. The writer continues :—. " France deeply sympathises with Poland, and has neglected nothing to establish European con cert. It will not depend upon France if the under standing between the Powers does not produce the happiest results for Poland. But following the traditions which have always guided the policy of France in foreign questions, the interest of Poland being European, France is adverse to an isolated action in this question." A private in the 2d African battalion named Boudiere, was shot last week at Blidah, in pursuance of the sentence of a court-martial, for an attemp t at murder, followed by robbery, on a comrade o f the same battalion, named Germain. The whole garrison was drawn out on the occasion, and a great number o f t h e i nhabitants were present. On reaching the plac e a p po i n t e d, B ou di ere re f use d to have his ey es b an d age d, an d b etraye d no emot i on. He hi mse l f gave the signal to fire ; the muskets being discharged, after staggering a moment he threw himself on the ground rattier than fall from the effect of the balls. He lay waiting for the final shot of the sergeant. The latter came up and aimed at the man's head, but the musket missed fire. Boudiere then rose up as though he had not received any wound, using threatening words and gestures to the file of men appointed to shoot him. He then lay down again, the crowd exclaiming, " Par don ! pardon !" The sergeant put a second cap on his gun, but it again missed fire! The pri soner rose once more in the greatest agitation, and apostrophised the soldiers in most violent lang tege , whilst great exasperat i on was ev i nce d by the crow d. T he sergeant t h en d rew t h e c h arge from his gun, and having reloaded, went up to the spot where the unfortunate prisoner had once more thrown himself down; this time the ball took effect and all was over.

A letter from Berlin, dated Oct. 11, says : "The accounts given to me of the aspect of Warsaw by friends who have lately arrived here from that unfortunate capital are in the highest degree melan choly. It is described as a terror-stricken city, whose inhabitants scarcely dare move out of their houses, and live in continual apprehension lest some rash individual act should involve hundreds in ruin. Of a night none go abroad who can help it; those whom one meets by day (the Women all clad in deepest mourning) bear upon their countenances the impression of some great calamity, past or immi nent. One can imagine a similar look of terror and dejection worn by the inhabitants of a place where plague is raging. Like that terrible malady, the affliction that now rests upon Warsaw is one against which no prudence can guard. The system of wholesale punishment for the offences of individuals is carried out with barbarous and indis criminating rigour. Of this the affair at the Hotel - de l'Europ e i s an examp l e . A person of mysterious and suspiciou s c h aracter , sa id to have acted as spy both for Poles and R uss ians, was lodging there. An assassin made his way into the hotel and stabbed him. They struggled out together upon the stairs; th ro ugh a gla ss dcor, cutting h tl i t s e m vi u e r t d im er , er sp d r i a a n engaged himself from the grasp of himself severely in the act, and made his escape. He was tracked for some distance by the blood drops that fell from him, but finally escaped. The hotel, which is a very large one, making up 200 to 300 beds, was forthwith shut up ; the persons lodging there were driven out into the streets, and the building was militarily occupied. In all the proceedings of the Russian authorities, a degree of reckless brutality is observable, worthy of the pueudo-civilisation only to be found on the surface, and characteristic of the people of whom it was truly said that a little scratching only was needed to reveal the Tartar. The two affairs of the Zamoyski Palace and of the Hotel de l'Europe fully exemplify my meaning. An isolated crime, committed by a malefactor, with whom it is highly probable that no one in the house had any con nexion, is made a pretext for punishing, imprison ing, robbing, and illtreating hundreds of persons. Innocent men were marched off in troops to prison, helpless women insulted and driven into the streets. I would not extenuate the assassinations that have been committed by Polish agents, and which have exasperated the Russian officials and troops; but even these unjustifiable crimes cannot excuse the barbarities committed by the latter. One might expect to find the Russian officers seeking to temper the excitement and violence of their men, but I regret to say that, according to most trustworthy accounts (not from Polish sources), they have in various instances, rather Bet a bdd example, There has been a vast deal of rapine; from the Z tmoyski Palace alone 16 cases of jewellery disappeared, and, although there are strong suspi cions as to the persons who took them, it of course would be useless, and probably dangerous, to at tempt proof. Human life has come to be as lightly regarded as ever it was in Spanish civil wars or in South Ame rican revolutionary conflicts. Mere suspicion, with out trial or proof, suffices for summary capital pun ishment. You will perhaps already have heard some thing of an affair which took place four days ago in Warsaw, on the premises of Messrs. Evans, two bro thers, Englishmen, who have an extensive iron manufactory there, where they employ 500 to 600 workmen. On the evening of Monday last one of their men was stopped in the street by the police, either because he was partially intoxicated or as a sus pected character, and in his possession were found two or three rudely-cast small shells, pierced with several holes, and of the diameter, as described to me by a person who saw them, of about 14,- inch. They were not loaded, hut were said to be of :he Or sini class of shell, made to be charged with fulmi nating powder and thrown by hand. Here was enough to convict not only the unlucky bearer of missiles, but the whole establishment in which he worked. At 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning last he was shot in the courtyard of Evans and Co's factory, in presence of all the workmen and of a body of Russian troops. The workmen were compelled to at tend. It was further ordered that the firm should pay a fine of 15,001) roubles. In vain was it ex plained to the authorities that no blame could pos sibly attach to the persons whom it was sought thus to punish ; that a single workman, bent upon cast ing such shells as those produced, which were of a very rough and imperfect manufacture, might find opportunities of doing it even without its being necessarily known to the very men who worked nearest to him ; and also that the fabrication of projectiles was no part of the business there carried on. The fine was insisted upon, and, if not paid, the establishment was to be closed. Messrs. Evans were absent from Warsaw, in England, I believe—and their partner, a Prussian subject, named Rau, telegraphed to them for instructions. In reply, he was t )1(1 not to pay, but to shut up the works—which, as business had been extremely bad in Warsaw of late, could probably be done without any great loss to the firm. But this did not suit the book of the authorities, who were not desirous to have 503 or 600 workmen added to the unem cloyed, and probably to the discontented and den gerous class in - Warsaw. They then wanted to make Messrs. Evans pay their workmen until they should have paid the fine. I have no private information as to the details of the way in which the matter was settled, but in one of to-day's Berlin papers a lette' of recent date from Warsaw is cited, according to which the fine has been rescinded and the factory re-opened, in consequence, it is added, of the inter cession with General Berg of the Prussian Consul, who, on discovering that a partner in the house was a Prussian subject, seems to have taken a dif ferent view of the case from that which he is alleged to have done when he believed it to have been a purely English concern. It is added that a decree will shortly be published regulating the amount of responsibility incurred by manufacturers in conse quence of the acts of their,workmen. " With respect to Prussian politics-there is no im portant novelly to cite since my last. The Cabinet order, the existence of which has been revealed by the semi-official papers, and in consequence of which soldiers ere relieved from the necessity of giving their votes at elections, is the last topic of interest. It does not appear that soldiers will be in any way prevented from voting, should it please them to do so, but nevertheless some of the feudal organs speak of the order as if its effect were to be the same as though it comprised a prohibition. We must pre sume, therefore, that such will be the practical working of the measure, at least as regards those soldiers who are not disposed to support Govern ment candidates. "The very notorious Police President of Konigs berg, Maurach, has been promoted to be President of the Government of Gumbinnen. On the Bth inst. M. von Bismark completed one year's service as President of the Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs. O❑ that joyful anniversary, as we are in formed by a journal that befriends him, he received many testimonies of respect and reverence, When a public man has few supporters it is highly desir able that they should be active and,zealous, so as to form, in theatrical phrase, a claque to applaud and do him honour. If the Government does not suc ceed in getting up at least a respectable minority at the next elections it will not be for want of pressure, and it will prove how determined is the hostility even of many who depend on it. The circular of the Minister of Commerce (similar to that of Count Eulenburg) has been addressed to very numerous classes, to all the persons employed in the de• partments of post•ofce end railway, and of the mining and building administrations. The papers mention various cases of refusal to pay taxes, in consequence of the Budget not having been legally voted. In the neighbourhood of the Rahr several members of the Fortsehritt party have refused payment, and suffered their goods to be seized. At E3BCD, M. von Bernuth, a proprie tor of coal mines and a near relative of the former Minister of Justice, and M. Waldthausen, a former Deputy to the Chamber, preferred letting the fur niture be seized to paying, and the sale by auction of M. Von Bernuth's tables and beds is appointee for the 15th inst.

The eighth and last season of the Pyne and Har rieon management commenced last evening under the highest patronage, and in the presence of one of the largest and most fashionable audiences that probably ever assembled within this magnificent theatre. Every stall, box, and seat were occupied previous to the rising of the curtain, and those who had the misfortune to arrive a few minutes after the opening of the door had the unpleasant neeeesity forced upon them of either taking up a standing position in the lobbies, or of having their tickets altered for another evening. The roonouncernent that their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Pein cess of Wales, his Majesty the King of the Greeks, and the Royal Family of Denmark would honour the theatre with their presence, no doubt contributed in a great degree to the overflowing audience, as the portion of the theatre that received more visitors than it could under any circumstances accommodate was opposite " the Prince's aide." In the royal box sat the Prince of Wales, by his side the King of the Greeks, next him his sister the Princess of Wales, the Princess Dagmar, and Prince William. The Prince and Princess Christian of Denmark and their attendants were also present. To the musical portion of the audience the great event of the even ing was the production of a new opera, by the author of " Maritana," " Lurline," &ca, Mr. V, Wallace, entitled, "The Desert Flower." The plot of :the new opera is by no means novel, yet it has the merit of being clear and simple, perhaps more than ordinarily so, and is founded on the dangerous yet delightful, perplexing yet provoking, handiwork of little Master Cupid. The scene is laid in Dutch Guiana, and on the rising of the cartain the first scene—a delightful specimen of the painter's art— is the exterior of a Dutch settler's dwelling, near Surinam. To this place a certain cowardly Major Pumpernickle has been despatched by his Govern ment, to quell a revolt that has broken out amongst an Indian tribe—the Anakowtas—whose queen is Onita, " the Desert Flower." Attached to the staff of the Major is one Captain Maurice, who, at first sight, falls over head and ears in love with the beautiful queen, against whose people he is at war. Onita, with one of her followers, Casgan, in order to lure the Dutch into the im penetrable forest, voluntarily surrenders herself a prisoner, her great object being to find the comman der of the expedition, in order that he may become the first victim of Indian vengeance. Pumper nickle, in order to secure himself, magnanimously hands over the command to Captain Maurice, and thus the two future lovers are brought in contact, At first she scorns the proffered love of Maurice, who is an invader of her territory, but v ery shortly after mutual love springs from hate, and then Onita is as anxious to save the lite of her lover as she was before desirous of sacrificing it. Casgan, the re jected lover of the Queen, discovers her attachment to Maurice, and during a friendly meeting of the foes he works upon the feelings of his tribe, and the result is that Maurice is taken prisoner and condemned to death. Onita, in order co save him, offers to mak.e him king by marriage, a proposal the young Dutchman is only too joyful to accept. But the course of true love never did, and, we suppose, never will, run smooth, for Maurice finds, to become an India❑ King, he must bow to idols, abjure his country and religion, which rather than do he prefers to die. Onita contrives her lover's escape, and then takes the place prepared for him on the funeral pyre ; but just as the savages are about to kindle the fire, Maurice returns with a troop of soldiers, rescues Onita, shoots Casgan, and, we suppose, eventually marries the Desert Flower. The music of the opera is certainly not of an elaborate description ; in many parts it is pretty, melodious,and telling, yet much of it is common- place. Of course,ithere must have been great difficulty in dealing with a subject of such quaintness, where Indian marches, dances, and choruses must of neces sity abound, but Mr. Wallace has succeeded in sur mounting the difficulty, and also in introducing several pretty ballads, which may, when they be come familiar, prove popular. Miss Pyne, as Onita, the Desert Flower, has a piece of this description, entitled " Why throbs this heart into rapture new," which she rendered with most delicious sweetness. The " Wood-bird's song" is one of those difficult and elaborate compositions that invariably falls to the lot of Miss Louisa Pyne in ail new operas, but the fatigue of rehearsals, and the anxieties of a first night rendered some parts of her voice less clear than on ordinary occasions, so that the upper notes had to be attained with some apparent diffi culty. Mr. Harrison, as Maurice, in the first act, has one of his usualcharacteristic songs, in this instance he carols the pleasure of a hunter's life. It was given in his best style, and elicited great applause. "Since Honour's star cloth o'er me shine," and the love song " Though born in woods," the two ballads 'allotted to the part of Maurice, were both sang with much taste and feeling, although we think they were in some parts rather above the register of Mr. Harrison's voice, but to the cause already noticed, may many of the false notes be attributed. Mr. Weiss, as Casgan,.acquitted himself in a more than ordinarily satisfactory manner ; he both acted and sang the music of the part capitally. There was none of that pumping up of his notes, a bad habit he has of late fallen into, but, on the contrary, his ballad, " When wandering through the forest drear," was a perfect flow of melody. The choruses were characteristic and telling, and there is also some gay sparkling dance music, which cannot fail to become popular. Tne opera is certainly destined for a lengthened run, as its success was at once com plete, decided, and unmistakeable. The scenery is really splendid. The tropical forest in the second act, with its myriads of gorgeous parasitic plants, its overhanging trees, and trans lucent water, and the wonderful effect of light in the changes from the crimson noon to grey evening and silver moonlight, was a perfect marvel of scenic art. The calls for Miss Pyne, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Weiss, and Mr. Wallace throughout the evening were very numerous, and on the appearance of each the most enthusiastic applause was bestowed, the Royal party being not a bit behind the less aristo cratic in oeir expression of delight and gratification. The Royal party remained till the close of the per formance, and quitted the theatre amidst the swelling and majestic notes of the National Anthem. THE DEATII OF MR.

AN AGREEABLE COMPANION is one in whom travelling breeds a disposition to disparage and sneer at everything he sees—one persists in looking only at the weak side of fercign institutions and foreign character, and who never loses an opportunity of setting up unfavour able comparisons and vaunting something that is some• where else. There is something peculiarly provoking i n such a temperament, and nothing can be more utterly fatal to enjoyment than to have to visit fine churches, admire great paintings, and gaze upon s ublime or beautiful land scapes, in the company of a carping critic of this kind. And it is impossible to take sure preca utions against joinin g a companion who may turn peevish, or moody, or unsy m p a , thetic.
