FRENCH PAPERS. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, SITTING OF APRIL 29. M. Dupin took the chair at one o'clock. A considera ble number of Deputies were present. Immediately after the proces verbal had been read and adopted, The Minister of Finances having brought in the bill for definitively regulating the accounts of the budget of 1834, which was ordered to be printe d, p roceeded (amid the most profound silence) to lay before the Chamber the outlines of the budget of 1834. He stated that, according to the system on which the budget was framed, no extraordinary sacrifices would be required in the shape of loans, as the ways and means would balance the expense. , . A reduction of 90,043,00 0 f. wa s proposed to be effected in the War De partment, by the reduction of 24,000 men out of the ex isting force of 340,000—a diminution which was as great us prudence would allow to be made, until the rest of Eu rope showed a disposition to follow the example of reducing its forces to the peace establishment, so ardently and uni versally desired. Other reductions of minor importance were proposed to be made in the different departments, by which the total demands for the year 1834 would be re duced to 1,019,140,000 E, being 112,609,000 f. less than the amount demanded f0r•1833, and 170,732,600 f. less than the expenses of 1832, Ever since the year 1829, tl.e expenses of the State had been more than the or dinary ways and means ; the deficiency for 1831 would be 40,000,0001., which it was proposed to meet by cancelling 20,000,000 f. of the rentes redeemed by the sinking fund, which would be a reduction in the ex penditure to that amount, and increasing the ways and means by raising the existing taxes to the amount of the other 20,000,0001. The Honourable Minister then proceeded to examine what taxes were most suscep• tible of augmentation ; he strongly combated the present prevailing opinion of the landed interest being unduly protected, maintaining that the amount of direct taxes paid by the proprietors in France amounted to 100,000,0001. (or one-f,orth of their net income), independent of their proportion of the indirect taxes. He therefore proposed, as the most eligible course to be adapted, to renew 20,000,000 f. out of the 36,000,000 f. or 40,000,000 f lately taken off the liquor tax. Tile effect of this would be, that by annulling the rentes the expenses would be re duced to 999,140,000 f., and by renewing the liquor tax the ways and means would be raised to 1,000,244,000 f. It was also proposed, in order to secure work to the labouring cl isses, that the further sum of 3,600,0001. out of the rentes redeemed by the sinking fund should be applied in facilitating the completion of the public works now in progress. "If, Gen lemen," continued the Hon. " you approve of these measures, the sinking fund, which, on Decea.ber 31, 1833, wiil amount to 97,000,000 f., will, on the Ist of January, 1834, preserve a force of '73,400,000E, with which we conceive it will be possible still to attempt a reduction of interest. But why, then, it may be said, call fur an increase of taxes when the rentes repurchased, after deducting the 23 600,0001. offer a resource of upwards of 18,000.0000 Why not immediately annul a sum in rentes sufficient to balance the budget of 1834 ? Our entire system is an answer to this objection, because it rests pre cisely upon the guarantee which it would be desired to be annulled. The savings we anticipate will result from the continuance of this guarantee. Destroy the means, and the results must of course fall with them."—(Marks of a-sent and dissent.) The Hon. Minister then, after explaining in detail the various alterations proposed in the details of the different branches of the administration, con cluded as follows Amongst my various plans for ma naging the finances, the most important is unquestionably the reduction of the 5 per cents., and the reconstitution of the sinking fund. I have fulfilled as far as lay with m}self all my engagements on this subject. The bill, the statement of the grounds upon which it is formed, and the tables by which it is supported, are all prepared, but upon mature consideration it has been deemed preferable to defer laying them before you till the next session. The following are our reasons— (Hear, hear) :—The extraor dinary credit granted by you for 18:33, and the rentes we are shout to ask for the purpose of finishing the public works, will require a negotiation for a loan, which must be delayed till December neat. Now if, as we hope, this loan be contracted in 4 per cent. stock, at a high rate. it will be evident to every one that the interest at which the Treasury can obtain the sums necessary to sup ply ito wants is less than 5 per cent. There can then be no longer any objection to the redaction or redemption of that stock.--(Marks of assent.) iThe budget was ordered to be printed. Alby wished, the number of members of the cool nrit•ee to be appointed to examine the bill for regulating the accounts of the budget for 1831 to be IS instead of 9, but on the president observing that the standing rules of the Chamber were. Imperative on the point, he did not press his suggestion. The Minister of Commerce brought in a bill for grant ing the following credits :-24,000,0001. for continuing the various public buildings in progress in Paris, 44,000,000 1 . fur the continuation of the canals in pro gress, 15,000,000 f. for highroads in:progress, 2,500,0001. for lieithouSes, and 580,000 f. for railroads ; the above sums to be raised by le-issuing, on the most advent igeous terms possible, part of the rentes redeemed by the sinking fund.—Ordered to be printed. The President then read a letter, announcing that the King would receive the grand deputation of the Chamber, to congratulate him on his fete, at half-past eleven on Wednesday. The Chamber then proceeded to the discus-ion of the bill for regulating the system of primary instruction. All the orators inscribed ito speak on the general discussion having declined to address the Chamber, the articles were taken into consideration. Article I was adopted in the following terms Primary instruction is either elementary or superior. Elementary primary instruction must necessarily comprise stio;al and religious instruction, reading, writing, the ele ments a the French language, and of arithmetic, and the legal system of weights and measures." [M. Gillon wished the elements of linear drawing to be included in this pa ragraph, but the soggestion was negatived ; MM. Sal verte, Laurence, and Podenas proposed to add to it " the first notions of political rights and duties," which was opposed by the Minister of Public Instruction, M. Re. nouard (the reporter), and M. Dubois (of the Loire In ferieure), as likely to introduce political dissension into the infant schools; and, on being put to the vote, was re jected by a large majority.] .‘ Superior primary instruction is understood to comprise, in addition to the elements of geometry and its ordinary application, and especially linear drawing and surveying, the elements of the physical sci ences and natural history, as applicable to the ordinary purposes of life, singing, and the elements of history and geography, particularly those of France." (A desultory discussion of no interest took place on this paragraph, in which M. Salverte was anxious to omit "singing ;" and various other trifling changes were proposed, but it was ultimately adopted as above.) " According to the neces sities and resources of different localities, primary instruc tion may receive the further developments which may be ( 4,eined advisable." Article 2. The wish of fathers of families shall always be conbultAri And follow( d in respect to the participation of their children in religious instruction."—Adopted, aftsr the rejection of an alteration in the wording proposed by M. de Falguerolles, the effect of which was to repeat that some religious instruction must be given to the chil dren, lravi.g it to the parents to decide of what nature it should be. _ . _ " Article 3. Primary instruction may be either public or private."—Adopted.—Adjourned. SITTING OF APRIL 30. M. Dupin took the chair at a quarter past one o'clock. The discussion of the Bill for regulating the system of primary instruction was then resumed on the second chapter—" Private Primary Instruction." Article 4, declaring that every one aged 18 may be mastir of a school for primary instruction on producing a certificate of ability and a. certificate of morality, signed by three monicipil councillors and the mayors of the communes in Which he 'had resided for three years, was adopted, a:ter ape position by Al. Laurence, to compel the master* to tstce the oath of political allegiance, had been whilst) awn no the remark of the Alinista of Public Instruction, teat a subsequent article rendered it necessary for masters of public schools, and that it was useless to impose it in the - ease of private schools. Art. 5, declaring incapable of establishing a school all persons who •bad been condemned to infamous punish ments or convicted of theft, swindling fraudulent bank ruptcy, breach of trust, or offences against public moral , or Who have been deprived of th e i r f am il y or civil rights by virtue of the 42d article of the Penal C o d e , was a d opted without observation. An additional article, proposed by M. Vatout, for the purpose of declaring a royal ordinance necessary f or t h e establishment of associations for the formation of primary schools, was opposed by the M inister of Public Instruc tion, and rejected. • Art. 6 and 7, the former subjecting teachers violating 1,, revisions of articles 4 and sto the closing of the 40 , ,nd a fine of from 501. to 200 f., and the latter ... 4p i 0.-'-qiirlitiget tribunals power t f suspending any master for m a i ....I.4vori.tgf, i; or for ever, on account. of immorality, d r- 7 *,. legittitup e forms of proceeding, were adopte with a out IY'' , .,-1 . -• •:. • ,-s of • -,,,,„ ~ , :.rp., e, /Dr t..be. sAota interest. :tr.

Art. 9, declaring that each commune must either alone, or by uniting with other communes, support at least cne elementary primary school; and article 10, declaring that every commune havi ng a popu l at i on o f a b ove 6,000 souls, and . every commune, o f w h a t ever population , if it be the chief town of a d e p ar t ment , mus t also support a superior primary school; and article 11, declaring that every de partment must either alone, or by uniting with neighbour ing departments, support a normal primary school, were successively adopted a ft e r a discussion turning upon points of wholly local interest. The discussion was continuing when our reporter left. (From Galignanis Messenger of Tuesday.) The Augsburg Gazette of the 25th inst. has the fol lowing, of the 6th, from Constantinople:-" Yesterday a considerable corps of Russian troops, mostly infantry and artillery, arrived at our port on board transports, and, in pursuance, and by orders of the Admiralty, disem barked on the other side of the channel, on the coast of Asia. The arrival of these troops produced a bustle in the city, but the feeling was neither fear nor pleasure, but rather indifferent curiosity. The Sultan is delighted with their arrival, and has inspected them in company with the Grand Admiral. They are said to he fine troops, ar.d well equipped. In a few days we expect another ex;edi - tion from Odessa, by which the auxiliary troops will be increased from 11,000 to 16,000 men. This rein. forcemeat was likewise to be lauded opposite Bujukdere, on the coast of Asia, where an intrenched camp will be formed. The Russian squadron has also approached the coast ; it is said that the greater part of it will sail for the Dardanelleg, to take up its station there with a portion of the Turkish feet. We are assured that 30,000 Russians are on their march from the principalities, but they cannot reach us before the beginning of May. The presence of Russian troops has naturally excited a strong sensation at Pera, especially at the French embassy. Admiral Rous sin is placed in the greatest embarrassment, for it is said that he is still in complete ignorance of the intentions of his Government. The army of Ibrahim, we learn, is in full march, and he will probably not listen to any other pro posals than those made by his father to the Porte. We may therefore witness the singular spectacle of a Russian army in the sight of the capital engaging in battle with the Arabs for the protection of the Porte. The Sultan still entertains hopes of an arrangement; one of his agents at the Egyptian bead-quarters is said to have communicated to him satisfactory information to that effect. General Muravieff is gone to the Russian camp, perhaps to take the chief command of the troops. The Tut kish forces are continually exercised, and the garrison of Constantinople is receiving every possible reinforcement. When the whole Russian auxiliary corps shall have arrived here the remains of the Ottoman army will probably join them, in order to assume off,nsive operations." The same paper quotes Metalliques 5 per Cents., at Vienna, on the 20th, 91 3-10th : Bank Actions 1,186. The Augsburg Gazette of the 26th instant contains the following of the 6th from Constantinople :-" This capital continues in a state of great anxiety, as no news bas been receiv,d from the Egyptian head-quarters, and nothing favourable is inferred from the long delay. It is true that the second division of the Russian fleet, con sisting of three ships of the line, three frigates, and two sloops of war, under the command of Admit al Kurnany, has arrived here with five thousand troops, whereby the European part of the capital appears to be secured against the Egyptians ; but there are other dangers, for the fer ment of the public mind is evidently increasing here. Ibrahim Pacha has but to make his appearance at Scutari, and insurrection will immediately break out, which the Russian forces may not be strong enough to suppress. We are still in uncertainty here as to the occupation of Smyrna by the Egyptians ; but we are assured that the Porte has received intelligence, that in consequence of the revolt which has broken out in the Island of Cyprus, the autho rities of the Porte have been driven out, and the whole population have declared in favour of Mehemet Ali." The same paper brings intelligence from Alexandria to March 22, stating that the prospect of a speedy termination of hostilities between the Pacha and the Porte has totally vanished, as Mehemet Ali is determined not to accede to the proposals for peace made to him by the Porte. The letter concludes in the following terms :-" As soon as !Mehemet Ali was apprised of the proceedings of the French and Russian ambassadors at Constantinople, he sent orders to his son Ibrahim to ad vance speedily upon Constantinople. The Egyptian army may therefore be now in the vicinity of that capital. It appears to be the opinion of Mehetnet Ali that the Euro pean Powers-namely, England, France, and Russia, are not in earnest in their menaces, or at least they are not in accord. His greatest hope, however, rests upon an in surrection in his favour at Constantinople, on the approach of the Egyptian army; for he well knows that he has there, as well as in other parts of the Turkish empire, many partisans. Halil Pacha is still at Alexandria, waiting for the return of his secretary, who went to Coa st intinople on board the Mesunge. The Egyptian fleet is preparing to sail very shortly." The Gazette has also the following of the 20th inst., from Vienna :-" In consequence of news received from Constantinople, the funds have declined today. Bank Actions are 1,176 1,180; Metalliques, 5 per Cents., 901,- 91. The influenza is rapidly increasing in this capital."

" Leopold, King , of the Belgians, " To all whom these presents shall come, greeting ; on the report and by the advice of our Council of Ministers; " Seeing the difficulties which, since the opening of the present l gislative session, have arisen in the relations of the Chamber of Representatives with the Administration► ; " Considering ttat, in consequence of these circum stances, our Ministers have, on different occasions, offered us their resignation, without having succeeded in forming a new Administration which might present a confidence of stability ; " Considering that these difficulties seem to take their rise in the diversity of opinions with respect to exterior relations ; " Considering that since the last general election im portant events have taken place, which have contributed to the strengthening of the independence of Belgium, and which, therefore, deserve to be submitted to the apprecia tion of the country ; " Considering that, if it be one of the first principles of representative government, that the Minister should be in accordance with the Parliamentary majority, it is also indispensable, to render the administration of affairs pos- sible, that this majority should not be uncertain, that a doubtful adhesion to the proceedings of Government, para lyses the action of the present Administration, without offering to the Crown the elements of a new one ; " Considering that, according to the electoral law, one half of the Chamber of Representatives is to be renewed on the second Tuesday of next June; that, according to articles IS and 54 of the same law, the members who should be replaced in this partial election, seeing the im possibility of closing the session immediately, would con tinue to sit to the month of November; that thus, repre sentatives whose successors would be . already named would influence, to the exclusion of these, on the resolu tions of the House, and would be able by their vote to decide the most important questions; " Considering that the dissolution of the Chamber of Representatives would obviate this inconvenience, and assure to the electors, in the place of a partial control, a general control over the acts of that branch of I,gisiarive power, and over the proceedings of the Goveaunent ; "According to the Art. 71 of the constitution, which states— " "Ile King has the right to dissolve the Chambers, either simultaneously or separately. The Act of Dissolu tion contains the convocation of the electoral colleges within forty days, and of the Chambers within two months :'— " According to the paragraph of the Art. 51 of the Constitution, thus worded—' In case of a dissolution, the Chamber is entirely renewed,' " We have proclaimed and do proclaim, " Article 1. The Chamber of Representatives is dis ,olved. "Article 2. The electoral colleges of the undersigned districts are convoked for the 2Sil of May next, to the intent that each may elect the number determined by the electoral law, and designated beneath." [Here follow the names of the provinces and districts, which, to the English reader, are entirely uninteresting.l Messrs. COSTELLO, REYNOLDS, and POOLE, were liberated from Kilmainbarn gaol on Saturday last, the term of their imprisonment for taking part in thy Bobernabreena anti-tithe meeting having expired FLANDERS AND LISBON PAPERS. BRUSSELS, APRIL 30.—The Royal Ordinance for the dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies, signed by the King, and dated yesterday, is published in the Moniteur Beige of to-day. The Senate and the Chamber of Deputies are convoked for the 7th of June next, at noon. BRUSSELS, APRIL 28.—We are assured that in Hol land the people begin to be wearied out, and that France and England are resolved soon to oblige the Cabinet of the Hague, by some new decisive step, to change its conduct. In the night of the 25th the naval officer stationed be fore Antwerp, succeeded in getting up from the bottom of the river another of the gun-boats, sunk by the Dutch. This is the fourth of the enemy's gun-boats, so recovered, added to our naval force. BRUSSELS, APRIL 29.—1 n the course of next month the King and Queen will make a tour through West Flanders, beginning at Courtroy, whence they will go to Ypres and Bruges. Baron Van der Straeten de Ponthos set out yesterday afternoon for Paris. It is said that he is the bearer of the intelligence of the dissolution of the Chamber of Re presentatives. M. Legare, Minister of the Unite States at the Court of Belgium, has gone to Antwerp in order, as we are assured, to collect the necessary information for the conclusion of a treaty of commerce between Belgium and the United States, which has been for some time uu der discussion. Yesterdayrnorning a duel took place between M. a Frenchman, nephew to one of the honourable representa tives, and Mr. M----, an Englishman; they fought with broad swords, and the Englishman received a wound on the left cheek. The duel seems to have arisen from soma words spoken by the Englishman, which were insulting to the French nation. The gentlemen were attended by their seconds and surgeons ; the latter gave all assistance to the wounded Englishman. Twelve Dutch deserters, coming from Turnhout, ar rived at Ghent on the 27th. The Court of Assize at Ghent will have to try on Wed nesday next an action brought against the Messager de Good, for a violation of the laws relative to the press. BRUSSELS, APRIL 30.—The Moniteur Bilge publishes a list of the principal Dutch vessels laid under embargo in the French ports in the month of April—they are 36 in number. Count de Rossi, Minister of the King of Sar dinia, accompanied by his lady and suite, arrived here yesterday from the Hague. ANTWERP, APRIL 29.—The review of the 4th divisio❑ by General Daine, at Merxem, attracted a considerable number of spectators, notwithstanding the bad weather. The troops, consisting of the Civic Guard of the Ist and 12th Regiments of Infantry, two batteries of artillery, and three squadrons of cavalry, made a good appearance. The defensive works at Fort Saint Marie, on the left bank of the Scheldt, are nearly com pleted. The guns will be placed on that fort at the beginning of next month. I❑ general, all the tem porary works erecting for the defence of the Lower Scheldt proceed rapidly, and will present an insurmountable bar rier to the enemy if they should attewp► to come up the river. BRUSSELS, Arait.3o.—Yesterday a duel took place i❑ the boil de Catnbre, between two Englishmen, M. The lusson and M. Mitchell, in consequence of a dispute be tween them at the end of 'Change time. Two pistols were fired without effect.. At present our Ministers, it seems, remain in office. Brussels Papers, May 1. LISBON, Aran. 17.—The official part of the Gazette contains a letter from the Conde de San Lourenco, dated from his head-quarters, 11th April, in which he announces that it appears, from the reports of the inspectors of the hospitals in the North and South of the DourO, that the health of the troops continues to be very satisfactory. The Lisbon Gazettes from 15th to 20th April, both inclusive, contain no accounts whatever, either official or private, of military operations. They give long lists of promotions in the army, rewards, &c., to officers and others for their conduct in the action of 21tli March. The King and the Infantas continued at Braga, in good health. STUTGARD, APRIL 22.—1 t is probable that M. Pfitzer will not be elected Deputy for Tubingen ; that Uhland will not be elected for Stutgard, but perhaps for some other place. There is no foundation whatever for the report that the sittings of the Assembly of the States will be transferred to Louisburg. Mcrae'', APRIL 22.—1 t is said that his Majesty will set out for Italy in the beginning of May. We learn, from undoubted authority, that the men absent on fur lough, belimeing to the 3d, sth, 6th, 76, 9th, 126,14 th, and 15th regiments of infantry, and 2d battalion of Jagers, are ordered to join their corps by the 10th of May. NEUCHATEL, APRIL 18.-Another column of 700 Pules, which was marching to Switzerland, has been com pelled by the national guard of Baume-les-Daines to turn back. The whole French frontier nearest to us is oc cupied by troops of the line. Companies of infantry have arrived at Ponturlier, Alortean, Maiche, and Russey. DRESDEN, APRIL 20.—Dr. Wiesand has moved in the Second Chamber that a project of law be permitted to t' e Government to make the communes (or districts) respon sible for damages arising from the riotous proceedinp,s of persons belonging to such communes, and which, they, when summoned by the Magistrates, might and ought to have prevented. The mover thought it would be an additional guarantee for the public security if the Saxon Government would adopt this as a legal principle, as has already been done in many constitutional States, as such cases have ling since been decided in the kingdom of Prussia.—Frankfurt Papers, April 26. DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, APRIL 23. —ln the beginning of Msy there is to be a general change of the cantonments of our army. This year, there are to be in the same manner as last year, two camps on the heaths of Ryen and Oirscliot. APRIL 30.—His Royal Highness Prince Albert, of Prussia, left tt,is town to return to Berlin last night. His Royal Highness will come back in the middle of May. In consequence of the escape of some of our sailors from St. Omer, the officers are deprived of the permission which they enjoyed of going. out of the walls of the town.

It is rumoured that there were actually more votes pirouetting at Lady GREY'S Ball on Friday night than would have turned the scale on the malt tax division. A similar unfortunate result was once attributed to one of Mr. M. A. TAYLOR'S celebrated dinners. H EA LTH OF THE METROPOLIS.—SirJOHN MatcoLat was on Tuesday pronounced in imminent danger from an attack of the prevailing epidemic, and Mr. THEO DORE HOOKE was considered in a hopeless state. if some extraordinary change does not take place in the health of Mr. KEAN, the actor, it was not expected that he would survive over the week. One eminent physician at the west end of the town in the course of Monday had 38 relapsed patients added to his list. Much of the illness is attributed to the sudden and extraordinary transitions in the weather, and from individuals in delicate health exposing themselves to the cold night air. One day last week the thermometer in the open air was as high as 80, from which it suddenly fell to 74, and continued descend ing till it reached 45. The Earl of ALBEMARLE (Master of the Horse), the Earl of BELFAST (Vice-Chamberlain to the King), Lord ADOLPHUS FITZCLARENCE, and some of tt.e Foreign Ministers, paid complimentary visits on Tuesday to his Serene Highness the Duke of BRUNSWICK, at Fenton's Hotel, St. James's-street, on his arrival in this country. The Duke, attended by Major Bunow, and another officer, arrived in town at a late hour on Monday evening,; from the continent. Lord Anotrous, we believe,was the bearer of an in v i tat i on to h i s Serene Highness to dine at St. James's Palace yesterday evening. The present visit of the Duke to this country is the first since his highness was a child ; he i s no , i n hi s twenty-seventh year. It will be recollected that his bro ther, the ex-Duke, was in England in the spring of the year 1831, when he was present at the grand entertainments given by their MAJESTIES. The pre sent reigning Duke WILLIAM (AUGUSTUS WILLIAM FREDERICK) of Brunswick and Oels, succeeded to the Government of the family territory on the dethronement of his brother, Duke CHARLES FREDERICK AUGUSTUS W ILLIA M, in the autumn of 1830, It has been reported that he is a suitor for the hand of one of the Princesses of Prussia. His Highness is second cousin to his MAJESTY, being the youngest son of the late Duke of BanNstvxcx, slain at the battle of Quatre Bras, who was the son of the Princess AUGUSTA, sister to King GEORGE 111. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, Ma r 1 • Petitions for the better observance of the Sabbath were presented from the parish of Montgomery, by the Bishop of HEREFORD, and from Bolton-le-Moors, by the Marquis Of WESTMINSTER. Petitions for the abolition of negro slavery were pre sented by Lord Suffield (50 in number), from various places ; also several by Earl Fitzwilliam ; similar petitions from Shaftesbury, Knutsford, Tottenham, and other places, by the Marquis of Westminster; seven petitions from places in Devonshire, by the Earl of Morley, and two from the county of Armagh, by the Earl of Gosford. Petitions against the house and window tax were pre sented from St. Clement's, Oxford, and St. George's, Middlesex, by the Earl of RADNOR and Lord SUFFIELD. Lord SUFFIELD presented a petition from Nuneaton, in Warwickshire, for an alteration in the law relating to parochial registration. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER presented a petition from a parish in the diocese of Llandaff, against abuses existing in the Welch church establishment ; also petitions from parishes in the county of Chester, against the Beer LIST OF THE MINORITY OF ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREE, TELLERS IN- CLUDED, WHO, ON TUESDAY, VOTED FOR SIR W. ♦.

Nearly 80 friends of the charity sat down to dinner, his Grace the Duke of GORDON in the Chair. On the cloth being removed Non nobis Domine was sung by Mr. Broadhurst, Mr. C. Taylor, Sic., after which The CHAIRMAN gave the health of the King, with four times four, and, in announcing it, said that at the Levee held during the day, hisAlajesty bad desired him to say the Society had his best Wishes.—(Laud cheers.) The healths of the Queen, the Princess Victoria, and the other branches of the Royal Family, next followed, with the usual honours. The Noble CHAnotAx then gave " Prosperity to the Scottish Hospital," and in doing so he briefly stated the objects of the charity to be to relieve necessitous Scotchmen resident in this country, and to aid such as wished to go home, to return to their native land. He mentioned that above 3,000 individuals had been relieved by the Society , in the course of the past year. His Grace, after some pre fatory remarks, next gave the health of Mr. Wilkie, who, be said, bad conferred a high favour on the Society, pre senting it with a splendid portrait of his present Majesty —(Loud cheers.) Mr. WILKIE returned thanks, and in the course of his short address illustrated by several instances, the intimate connection which the att of painting had with the object of the present Society—namely charity. He felt grateful for the manner in which his health had been drank, and sat down amidst loud cheers. Sir MICHAEL SIIAW STEWART gave the health of the Duchess of Gordon ; and the healths of the Duke of Montrose, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Saltoun, Sir Peter Laurie, Lord Lynedoch, &c., followed. In the course of the evening the Treasurer announced the list of subscriptions, which amounted to above 5001. The CHAIRMAN left about II o'clock, when almost immediately the party broke up. Mr. Wilson, of Covent•garden Theatre, although he did not attend in his professional capacity, favoured the company with two Scotch songs, " Saw ye my wee thing," and " Tak' your auld cloak about ye." Mr. Broadhurst also sung " Auld lang dyne," " My ain fireside," &c., and Mr. Taylor sang a comic song with very good effect. In addition a band played daring the evening, and a High land piper added to the nationality of the meeting. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Bellini's opera La Sonnambula was produced here last night when Madame MALIBICAN appeared, fur the first time on this stage, in the principal character, Amino. The merits of the opera are well known to the musical world, and the subject of the drama has already been pre sented in various shapes on the London stage. The ar rangement of the music, which has been performed by Mr. BISHOP, is effective, the airs are ingenious, pleasing, and expressive, and the concerted pieces remarkably skilful. Madame INlALumart's performance of Amino was, however, so excellent, that it might have made an opera far inferior to this pass off well. As an actress merely, she displayed merit of the first quality. Never losing sight of the simplicity of the character, she gave irresistible grace and force to the pathetic passages, and excited the feelings of the audience to as high a pitch as can be conceived. Her sleepwalking scenes, in which the slightest exaggeration, or want of caution, would have destroyed their whole effect, were played with exquisite discrimination. She sang the songs with refined taste and great power. Her voice, which is rather remarkable for its flexibility and sweetness than for its volume, was as pure as ever, and her style displays that high cultivation and luxuriance which marked the salon: in which she was educated, and is almost identified with the name she for merly bore. That she speaks English with perfect ac curacy is not surprising, when it is remembered bow long she lived in this country; but she gives, besides, a dis tinctness of expression to the words of her songs which some of our English singers would do wisely to imitate, if they can. Her reception was cordial and flat tering, and before her performance had concluded, the delight of the audience rose to a point of enthusiasm which has been of late rarely exhibited i❑ our theatres. The other parts in the opera were remarkably well filled. Mr. TEMPLETON, who has been rapidly improving, has never appeared to so great advantage as in the part of Elvino. He had evidently studied his songs closely, and appeared to be fully sensible of the difference between having to execute BELLINI'S music and such as it has often been his lot to sing. In the duet in the first act, and in that i❑ the third, in which he casts off Amino, he was remarkably successful. Miss BETTS played Liza, and Miss CAWSE Teresa ; they were both loudly and deservedly applauded. Mr. SEGUIN, as the Count, was seen to great advantage. The music suits the fine qua lity of his voice, and his acting was extremely credit able. The opera has been got up with great care, and everything that can make it attractive, including some very beautiful scenery, has been bestowed upon it. It was received with unanimous applause, and announced for repetition to-morrow evening. If anything has the power to bring audiences to the theatre, we should think that La Sonnambula, played as it was last night, is more cal. culated to eff ct that object than any performance that has lately been seen. THEATRE-ROYAL, ADELPHL Mr. MATHEWS was At Home last night, and pre sented the fourth volume of his Comic Annual to a large and fashionable audience. The " Sun in London, with the causes of its obscurity," was replete with hu mour. The passage in the dialogue, when the " Lon.. doner" insists that the sun dpes shine in London, in opposition to the assertion of the cynical old gentleman that he does not, viz., that the sun does occasionally shine with power and brilliancy in the metropolis as to blister painted articles, and that that is the reason why ladies use fans, was a hit at the fair sex which told with indescribable effect. In the chaunt, entitled " Modern Innovations," the point was not so well seen by a large part of the audience, by Mr. MATHEws's somewhat indistinct and occasionally too rapid utterance. The same remark ap plies to all his other songs, with the exception at the conclusion of the " General Election." The only in stance in which we discovered any want of wit in the course of Mr. MATHEWS'S rich and varied bill of fare, was in the latter part of the " Private miseries of a dramatic writer." The first part was admirable ; the latter flagged a good deal. The playing on the word " box" in Mons. Ventriloge's definition of it, was extremely felicitous. It is, however, a direct plagiarism from BLACKWOOD. Mr. M.'s mimicry of a Frenchman's appearance and manners was true to the life. But by far the best thing, in the first part of the evening's performance was that describing the appearance of a hackney-coachman at the Mansion -house. In part second, Mr. M.'s personation of " Mrs. Digby Jones," a lady who, with the gr,atest "scientific igno rance," wishes to appear learned, was exceedingly happy. The piece was somewhat long, but created much laughter throughout. " The General Election" followed, and was, undoubtedly, particularly in the speech of one of the candidates, " Sir Frederick Flambeau,' when explaining his political principles to the electors, a piece of the hap piest humour. The third and concluding part consisted of only one piece, called " The Coach Wheel off." The rapidity with which Mr. M. assumed the six several cha racters in the piece was really surprising. At the con clusion Mr. M. was rapturously cheered, as indeed be was throughout the evening's performance. The event justified the hope he expressed at the commencement, that as he had for thirteen years had the happiness of making them laugh very heartily, his:present:tfforts would be no less sue • cessful ; in which case he would have the satisfaction of thinking that he had transported them for 14 years. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stft,—After the division on Sir John Key's motion on Tuesday night I retired, and not being aware that Sir Wm. Ingilby in tended to bring on the motion he did (for there was not the slightest notice of it) I regret to say I was shut out on it, for I should most undoubtedly have voted with him on it as I did on the previous Friday night. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. FITZGERALD, M.P. co. Louth. 22, Parliament-street, May I. At the Levee yesterday the KING conferred the honour of knighthood upon the Hon. Sir J. W.
