The Peers met yesterday evening ; but the Earl of RipoN's motion eoncerning Malta having been post poned at the request of the Marquis of NORMA NEI', their Lordships did nothing but receive petitions. An amusing illustration was given, in the Commons, of the doctrine maintained by the Bishop of ENE-, TER in the House of Lords on Monday evening. With him it was once a priest, always a priest ; with those who burlesqued his extravagance in the Commons, it was once a Church always a Church. The London Bridge Approaches Bill, though moved by Mr. HER, lt zEs, a good and true Tory, was opposed by Sir R. Iliutas, Viscount DuNGANNoN, and others, because it Would destroy the Church of St. Bartholomew, Ex change. It was consecrated ground, said the Hon. Baronet, and though it was wanted for the general convenience, he thought that the sprinkling of holy Water over it by some forgotten Catholic priest should have more weight with the Legislature than the con ►enience of the present and all future generations. The Rouse of Commons was happily of a different opinion, and the Bill was passed by a majority of 82 to 33. Lord JOHN RUSSELL made an arrangement for the business of the House, which looks very like a deter- I nination to bring the Session as speedily as possible to a close. Lord JOHN RUSSELL declined to produce the corre- Vondence between her MAJESTY and Sir R. PEEL, a nd then Mr. WAKLEY gave notice of a motion on the subject. As to Irish Railways, Lord JOHN RUSSELL could la Y nothing, from which it is to be inferred that no thing will be done. Sir ROBERT Irtaras, whose minute intellect and acute 1016 -Catholic perceptions always excite our astonishment, b rought the infraction of the law by JOHN APHALE, .a signing himself Archbishop of TUAM, before the House, and had the proud satisfaction of proving that was better acquainted with the Catholic Emanci pation Act than Mr. (1 -'-ONNELL. He took nothing e lse by his motion. dicethe notices we are h a ppy t o see one by • ViL LIEns to bring the timber duties under the no- Lice of the House' The principal business of the evening was passing the C ontroverted Elections Bill through Committee, which needs no comment. The House adjourned about One o'Clock. Mr. MACAULAY has been returned for Edin burgh without opposition. The Tories never thought of starting a candidate, and Mr. SHAR. RAN CRAWFORD, who had been suggested by t he Radicals, declined the honour. He was, in fact, nominated by a Mr. FRASER, but against the declared wish of his principal friend Mr. AYTOUN. It is not surprising therefore that even the s how of hands was in his favour. On that cir cumstance, however, insignificant as it is, the Scotsman founds an assertion, that the public mind 1 . 4 Edinburgh is in a sound state. " The Chart -ISts," it says, " were signally beaten on their own battle ground." At the same time, in the report of the proceedings at the election we find Mr. I. ltAsEn, a Chartist, pitted against the LORD PROVOST and a whole host of Mr. MA CAULAY'S friends, and, what is more, by ht s influence with the mob, he procured a hearing for Mr. MACAULAY. Now, when we re member what Edinburgh is, the abode of persons c onnected with the administration of the law, pro fessors, teachers, and literary men, and, like Bath or Cheltenham, a very genteel town, having scarcely ally other manufactures than those connected with literature, we see in the influence of Mr. FRAZER, and th e opposition afforded by the mob to Mr. MACAULAY, one of the most strik i"g proofs that has yet fallen under our notice of the progess and influence of the Chartists. One year ago this party was hardly known, and had not a name ; it is only within a very few years that the decided separation has taken Place between the middle and lower classes—be tween the Reformers and the Chartists ; and the latter have already made such progress that the Scotsman thinks it proper to boast that, when they had no regular candidate, the show of hands was not in their favour. With all deference to our very res p ec t a bl e Contem porary, whose opinion on such a point is of great va lue, we venture to assert, whether the public mind be sound or not, that the indications he supplies of its state in Edinburgh are such as no wise Go- Yernment ought to neglect. On almost all other topics than the extension of the suffrage Mr. MACAULAY'S opinions seem not to have displeased the Chartists. " His opinions on the suffrage," says the Scottish Pilot, " coun terbalance, by their narrowness, all his liberality on thos e other points, and are calculated to check Whatever sympathy with him these might have created. In respect to the suffrage, he is a Final ist : Lord JOHN RUSSELL could not be more so.'' On that point Mr. MAcAuLA/ was severely at tacked, and on that point the principal part of all his speeches subsequent to the first have turned. On that point, therefore, we find the Radicals of Edinburgh completely agreein with us in the re marks we made on Saturday on Mr. MACAULAY'S eloquent speech. At the same time, it is the one essential point in the present condition of th e working classes. They complain very justly of having no part in making the laws by which their lives and property arc disposed of, as well as protected. Nor is it of less vital importance, because the middle and enfranchised classes, the holders of capital, with which labour, and the unenfranchised classes are unfortunately too often in conflict, are averse from ex tending the suffrage, and would oppose any Ministry it. That because it shows a determination in the middle classes to deny to others a privilege which they claim for themselves, and wanting which they affirm they would be no better than slaves. They are will ing, then, to make slaves of their brethren. It gives no satisfaction to us to find them ready to perpetrate an act of injustice, for we can no more suppose that it will be beneficial to them than slavery was beneficial to the West Indian Planters. The main principle on which Mr. MACAULAY denies the unenfranchised classes the right of suf frage, is their unfitness to exercise it. If this were a valid reason, would it not apply to himself ? He was a Member, we believe, of that House of Commons which passed the Irish Coercion Act, as disgraceful and brutal a law as ever disfigured a slave code. Mr. MAcAULAY was also, like a great many of the most enlightened men of the kingdom, an advocate of the Reform Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill, which, by the rigid line of exclusion it draws, on the principle of property, has immensely aggravated the bitterness of wanting the franchise. He expected it would confer an immense benefit on the country, but if not altered it will end, we are afraid, in causing wide-spread ruin. Now, if that which leads men to do a great deal of mischief, be a suffi cient reason for withholding the franchise from all those who do not dwell in 101. houses, it should be quite sufficient to disfranchise Mr. MACAULAY himself, and all his friends. Will any reasonable being affirm that the wildesr of the work- ing classes would ever propose any enactment so selfishly diabolical as7the starvation laws ? Are the landlords then to have the power of making their unenlightened selfishness the law for the whole community ? And are other men to be told because their selfishness is equally unenlightened —darker it cannot possibly be—that they are not to have any share whatever in making the laws? And who presumes to affirm that the lower classes are unfit ? Those who are enfranchised and wish to keep s the privilege to themselves. However satisfactory they may find their opinion, they will never convince the working classes of its cor- rectneas ; and if the middle classes do not wish, as we know they do not and cannot, to follow up Weir injustice to their humbler brethren, by a continued series of angry oppressions, they should overhaul their opinion, and, resolve to do to the unenfran- chised as they would wish to be done unto. We think Mr. MACAULAY takes an erroneous view of the causes of civilization and of the superior comforts enjoyed by the working classes, as com- pared to savages ; but that is an important subject, into which we cannot enter at the end of an article, though we should like to controvert Mr. MACA U- which proposed largely to extend 'of hostilities between the armies of Turkey makes the question of fearful moment, I and Egypt. On comparing dates, however, we find , t that the news which created such a stir in the Turkish capital is precisely of the same date from Beyrout as the intelligence which reached London ' thirteen days ago, and consequently is not entitled to the least credit. The latest advices from Alexan dria received in Constantinople were only of the Ist ult., whereas letters to the 10th have been received in London, in which the report of hostilities having been commenced is positively contradicted. The Turkish eet consisting of twenty-nine sail of the line, was preparing to leave the arsenal for a cruise in the Mediterranean. The lovers of war would have it that its destination was Alexandria, and that it would undoubtedly sink, burn, and disable with a fQw broadsides, the whole naval armaments of the VICEROY. We are more than sceptical on this head. But as we consider war, for the present, out of the question, it would serve no useful purpose to inquire into the respective chances of success. We regret to announce that the plague has ap peared at Constantinople. Six cases of decided infection were reported. The Echo de l' Orient of Smyrna states that only 8,000 men of the Turkish army crossed the Euphrates and encamped on a desolate plain, where IBRAHIM PACHA could have cut them off to a mar. but for the pacific instructions of the VICE ROY. It appears, ho wever , t h a t t h e E up h rates at Bir is not the boundary of Turkey and Egypt claimed by MEH EMET ALI, and that in fact the Turkish army had not crossed the real boun dary. Another division of the SULTAN'S troops was approaching Taurus on the side of Antah, and the Egyptian army was stationed in the environs of Aleppo, selected by IBRAHIM as the most favour able ground for a general engagement should mat ters come to that pitch. Since the above was written we have received German and Brussels papers, the former with ad vices from Constantinople of the 18th ult., in which the view we have taken of the Oriental question is by implication confirmed, but no new fact is added to throw further light upon it. The Brussels papers merely announce the return of Count VIL LE:UM/sr to Vienna, as Secretary of the Belgian Legation, after the ratification of the treaty betwee Holland and Belgium. Letters from Alexandria of the 17th ult.—nine dais later than the previous arrivals--have reached us this morning. They do not confirm the reports of any collision having taken place between the Turkish and Egyptian armies, although they anti cipate, from the appearance of HAFIZ PA ci-rA on the Syrian side of the Euphrates, some such un toward event. A war between the VICEROY and the Shah of PERSIA, for the possession of Bag dad, was regarded by many as still more imminent. The non-interference of France and England in the fratricidal contest which now desolates Spain is disgraceful to Governments claiming for them selves the glory of being foremost in the march of civilization. For several years now has one of the finest countries in the world been plunged into all the horrors of civil war, to decide whether an in fant or a hoary traitor shall ascend a throne which rightfully belongs to neither—which is the people's ; and yet though in one day more innocent blood has been shed than half the Royal dynasties in Europe are worth, yet France and England - . look on as indifferently as if it was a spectacle in an arena for the combat of wild beasts. We have hu manity for over-loaded donkeys, for galled hacks, and for the canine species, and yet the humanity mongering Governments of France and England have probably read with the utmost indifference the following official account of the capture of the town of Ripoll in Catalonia, by the worthy soldiers of the Durango butcher. Nay, it appears in the official columns of the Moniteur of Wednesday in the form of a telegraphic despatch to the Minister of War, without a syllable of comment —merely as a matter of course. And yet, with such fearful tragedies performing at our very threshold, our philanthropists are ranging the re motest corners of the globe for objects upon which to pour out the peace-restoring balm of their sym pathies. Lours PHILIPPE'S is a terrible name to the oppressor in an obscure island of the Pacific —irreverently to touch the hem of the Papal gar ment is there fatal to insular Potentates—but to the supplications of Spain reeking in innocent blood, the King of the FRENCH is as indifferent as the deaf adder to the voice of the charmer. We quote the despatch : " A despatch from Campredon arrived at Prats de Molle on the 20th of May, stating that the Cellists entered at ten in the morning of the 27th through a breach 20 feet wide, on which a part of the garrison was killed. The rest with the commandant, took refuge in the Church of St. Peter, where they capitulated. No fewer than 2.500 balls were fired upon that town. On the 28th Ripoll was burnt to the ground, and upwards of 900 persons perished in theflames. The most horrible cruelties were committed. In one house 25 women, who had taken refuge there, were massacred by the bayonets of four Carlist soldiers. A mother surrounded by her five children, the eldest not more than nine years old, had them all torn from her, and four were killed before her face with the butts of the men's muskets, and the other was thrown out of a window on the second floor. The mother herself died of the wounds she received in defending them. Consternation reigns through out the surrounding country. Women continue to fly into France for refuge." A correspondent of a Toulouse Journal, writing on the spot, confirms the above, adding that not a soul in the town but perished 1 The garrison did not exceed between 400 and 500 men, while the Carlists 'invading the town exceeded 8,000. The women fought gallantly by the side of their hus bands, brothers, and fathers, and for eight days re sisted all the attacks of the assailants, though con stantly exposed to a heavy and destructive fire of howitzers and musketry. The Carlist officer who led the last successful 'onset, was killed in the breach by the brave Commandant of the devoted garrison. The papers direct from Madrid are of the 29th ult. The Gazette publishes a despatch from Es- PARTERO, in which he states that instead of losing 5,000 men as reported by the Carlists during his late successful operations, he had in all but 99 killed, and 741 wounded. Colonel WYLDE, the British Commissioner, had been constantly with him. Don CARLOS held a Council-of-War at Zernosa on the 28th ult. It was attended by the PRE TENDER, his son, young CARLOS, DOn SEBAS TIAN, and Generals MAROTO, VILLA REAL, EGUIRA, MONTENEGRO, SIMON LA TORRE, and several others. Of what took place nothing transpired. There is no domestic news of interest in the French Journals of Wednesday, except that on Tuesday the Government thought proper to de prive the students of the Polytechnic School of their arms, which have been all lodged in the for tress of Vincennes. This is a curious official com mentary upon the Journal des Debats' account of the KING 'S appreciation of the loyalty of these military youths, and we have no doubt will form the subject of some bitter sarcasms on the part of the Opposition Press. - The Committee to whom was referred the Minis terial project of law for granting tPn millions of francs to increase the French Fleet in the Levant, has sus pended its sittings till more authentic news arrive from Egypt. The National publishes advices from Alexan dria, of the 17th ult., in which a war between Turkey and Egypt is regarded as unavoida ble. The Correspondent of the National writes very briefly, but he encloses an interesting communication from Aleppo, dated the 6th ult., manifestly written by some French officer attached to the army of the VICEROY. He rates the army of the VICEROY at 76,000 men, of whom 30,000 are in garrison in the vicinity of Taurus. The troops then concentrated at Aleppo consisted of twelve regiments of infantry, four of cavalry, two of artillery, and 2,000 Bedouin Arabs. The policy so cherished by the National of making Egypt a province of France, is strongly recommended in this correspondence. In the Journal (les Debats of Wednesday we find the following le►ter from CLOT BEY (a French Physician in the service of the PASHA, dated Alexandria, the,l3th ult. It throws no new light whatever on the question of actual hostilities having commenced:— " The Viceroy is at this moment in Alexandria, and en joys excellent health. Ibrahim Pasha, from whom I re ceived, within these two days, two letters, is also very well. Said-Bey, appointed Captain of a corvette, commands a beautiful vessel purposely constructed for him. He is about to take a voyage round the Mediterranean, and will be accompanied by M. Houssart, M. Kcenig, and a pro fessor of the English language. lie will this time merely visit the harbours, and not proceed into the interior. Yon have no doubt heard of the provocation of the Porte, and the hostile demonstrations it has made. The irritation ex- LAY'S opinion. We regret to find that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has, by his continued and unaccountable resistance to the just demands of the shipping, or third class of the Danish Claimants, forced Mr. CRESSWELL to give the following notice, on Tuesday night, for Tuesday the 18th inst., viz.:— " That an humble Address be presented to her MAJESTY, praying that her MAJESTY will be graciously pleased to direct the Commissioners to whom it was referred to examine the claims of certain British subjects, in respect of losses sus tained by the seizure of ships and cargoes by the Danish Government in 1807, to proceed to adjudicate upon the claims which they have re ceived, and upon which they have made a Re port to the Lords of her MAJESTY'S Treasury." The case of the Claimants may be thus illu - s- rated : A British ship owned by D, arrived at Copen hagen with a cargo, a short time previously to the hostilities committed by Great Britain in 1807. One-third of the cargo, the property of A, was landed, sold, and delivered ; but not having been paid for, it formed a book-debt. A second portion, belonging to B, was landed, but not sold—this comes under the class of what is called goods on shore. The remainder of the cargo, still in the ship, being the property of C, is styled goods afloat. The Danish Government, however, made no distinction, but confiscated the several properties of A, B, C, and D, indiscriminately, while in 1835 and 1836 the British Government granted com pensation for the losses of A and B, but refused to admit the claims of C and D, although the ships and cargoes belonging to the Danes seized in this country, for which the properties of C and D had expressly been taken in reprisal, produced to ,e British Government the sum of 1,300,0001. Mr. CRESSWELL having very ably brought this act of injustice before the House on the 24th of May last year, an Address to her MAJESTY had been carried by a majority of 34 in favour of these unfortunate sufferers, one of whom, who has never overcome the ruin occasioned by the loss of his ship, is at this moment in the Stepney workhouse. The question, therefore, now appears to be no longer whether a certain class of claimants shall be indemnified, as that question has already been set at rest by the judgment of the House in their fa vour ; but whether the House will submit to have their solemn decision evaded, and her MAJESTY'S gracious directions, given in accordance with the Address of Parliament, thwarted. There will no doubt be some excuse brought for ward by the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER on the score of finance, but the claimants by no means wish to embarass his financial arrangements ; all they require is something in the shape of sub stantial justice, such as payment by instalments or otherwise, as may suit the convenience of the Treasury, in refunding a portion of what has so long and so unjustly been withheld from these patties. The claim of a " Country Postmaster" on the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, put forth in a letter, which will be found in another part of Paper, is entitled, on the part of the Government, to every consideration. The vast change which has taken place in the mode of travelling within these few years, has been productive of great benefit to all classes, except the innkeepers and postmasters on the great roads, and while the public profit by the rapid progress of steam conveyance, it is unjust and cruel to continue a heavy tax on those who are the only sufferers. The loss sus tained by this class is a subject of general conver sation and general regret, and it is the duty of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, as the Fi nancial organ of the Government, who encourage Railroads, to take immediate steps for alleviating the evil. They claim 110 compensation, though they are better entitled to it than many to whom compensation has been awarded by Juries ; all they ask is the abolition of a tax laid on fifty years ago, under entirely different circumstances, and when no man ever dreamt of the change which the last ten years have produced. It would be as just to con tinue a tax on hand-loom weavers, when struggling for their very existence against steam and ma chinery. The Turnpike Trustees and their nume rous creditors, too, have a vast interest in the question. If no relief is granted, what is to be come of the seven or eight millions secured on these trusts ? We trust the country gentlemen will use their influence with Mr. SPRING RICE, and urge the necessity of adapting the mode of taxation to the altered circumstances of the times. Letters from Constantinople of the 17th ult. lave reached us. They announce the arrival ,here from Al exan d r i a o f a F renc h steamer, ngi iring official news of the commencement THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1839, isting between the belligerent parties renders the mainte nance of the state quo impracticable." The following are extracts fiom the French Journals : The frigate Medee, commanded by :Captain Leray, arrived at Lorient on the 30th ult. She brought back part of the artillery soldiers who evacuated the fort of San Juan de Ulloa, in compliance with the terms of the treaty of peace of the 9th of March. The Medee left before Vera Cruz on the 10th of April last, the following war vessels—viz., the frigates Nereide and Gloire, the brigs La Peyrouse, Alabiade, Cuirassier, Voltigeur, Zebra, and Eclipse ; the bombards Eclair and Volcan, the lighter Sareelle, the steamer Phaeton, and the transport Saumon. The brig Laurier, which also belonged to the French squadron in the Gulf of Mexico, arrived at Brest on the 3d. Advices from Malta of the 19th ult. state that the Bri tish naval division stationed at Corfu left that island on the 12th, before the arrival of the brig Jaseur, which had been despatched with instructions for Commodore Parker. The three ships- 3 f-the-lin e , Rodney, Bellerophon, and Talavera returned to Malta on the 15th, and the frigate Castor on the 16th. The whole of the British squadron was preparing to put to sea on the 18th, when Admiral Stanford countermanded its departure. Prince George of Cambridge had embarked for Corfu in the British packet Hermes. BOURSE. —PARIS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE S.

By accounts received from Mr. Waghorn, who is at Malta, on his way to Egypt, it appears that he has received information from Cairo, that the Pasha of Egypt has the intention of throwing some impediments in the way of the communication through Egypt carried on with India, but he has great hopes that, on his interview with the Pasha, with whom he is intimate and on good terms, he will be able to-remove these difficulties.

The recent triumph achieved by the independent electors of this borough, in the return of Mr. Alcock, and the rejection of the Clive candidate, is, at this pe riod, most important to the Liberal cause. Mr. Alcock constantly and strongly advocated the Ballot, the Re pal of the Corn-laws, Civil and Religious Liberty ; whilst Mr. Clive, avowed Toryism in its miti gated form of Conservatism, and talked loudly of the necessity of maintaining the institutions of the country in all their integrity, which in truth means in all their abus es . B r ib er y t o an extent scarcely credible —treating to the utmost excess, and intimida tion without limit, were all, practised by the Clive party. A hired band of bludgeon men, to the number of 100, was brought into the town, and the lives of the indepen dent voters were openly threatened. In spite of all these, the Tory was defeated, the Liberal candidate returned, and for the first time in its annals has Ludlow been rescued from Clive domination. The rage of the Tories is al most ludicrous. They talk ora petition, but they know better than to try that course ; too much of their own money has found its way into safe hands. Their treat ing was too notorious, their intimidation too plain, and the number of bad votes on their own poll too great for them to venture upon an eppeal to the House of Commons. EXCHEQUER COUR T-THIS DAY. IN EVANS. Mr. CARRINGTON moved to discharge the recognizance entered into by the defendant. He bad been taken before Mr. Conant, the Magistrate, charged with an assault, and by him was bound over to appear and take his trial at the Westminster Sessions. Before they commenced, and sub sequent to their entering into recognizances, he at tended at a fight in Hertfordshire, which terminated in the death of one of the parties, and the Coro ner's Jury found a verdict of manslaughter against Evans, from which he absconded. Sometime after he gave him self up, and took his trial before Mr. Justice Littledale, when he was acquitted of the manslaughter. -He then went to the Westminster Sessions, and took his trial for the assault, and had suffered the punishment awarded by the Court for that offence, but the recognizances and bail had been estreated. Mr. Baron PARKE—Why did he not attend at the proper time ? Mr. CARRINGTON—H e was afraid of being taken into custody on the Coroner's warrant for the manslaughter. He had already suffered three months' imprisonment for' the same offence, and the two securities had each paid the 50/. which had been levied upcn them. Mr. Baron GURNEY—How do we know that the Court did not take the fine of 100/. into their consideration when awarding the punishment. Mr. CARRINGTON—That could not appear, but he thought the imprisonment was sufficient punishment for a common assault, without any aggravation. The COURT thought there was not sufficient ground for sustaining the application. The absence of the party was his own act.--Rule refused. COMMON PLEAS-J(THIS DAY.) DEVADR V. STEPHENS. Mr. Sergeant WILDE said this was an action of assump sit on a policy of insurance. The declaration stated that the policy was effected on a voyage of the ship Henri from Nantz to and from the South Sea Fishery, during the fishe'ry, and back to any port of France, with permission to call at any port whatsoever. The assurance was upon 800/., on the bounty allowed by the French Government on the tonnage and cargo of the ship, agreed to be valued at 800/. The declaration averred the interest of the plaintiff, and stated that the vessel departed from Nantz towards the South Sea Fishery, and prosecuted its voyage ; obtaining a ceit tin cargo upon which the bounty would have accrued had the vessel with her cargo arrived in France. The first plea denied the loss, the second denied the interest, the third denied that the ship obtained any cargo in the fishery; the fourth was the most material, and was at some length. It stated that the bounty would have been claimed under a French law respecting fisheries, which provided that a vessel which should have fished in the Pacific Ocean, by doubling Cape Horn, or through the Straits of Magellan, or south of Cape Horn, at least in sixty degrees of latitude, should obtain a supplementary bounty if the vessel should have brought home one-half of its cargo, of the produce of the fishery, or should have navigated for sixteen months ; and the plea went on to allege that the vessel, though it did obtain half a cargo of the produce of the fishery, it was obtained before the vessel had arrived within the limits mentioned in the French law—that is, before the ship doubled Cape Horn ; and therefore, the bounty would not have been due. Upon this issue was joined. The case was argued at great length by Sergeant WILDS on one side, and Mr. RICHARDS on the other. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN V. THE CORPORATION OF WALSALL. Mr. RICHARDS applied for a writ of certiorari to remove into the Court of Queen's Bench two orders of the Town Council of the borough of Walsall, dated the Bth Feb. and the 13th March in the present year, for the payment of 2001. and 395/. respectively, incurred in promoting a Bill in Parliament for improving the market of Walsall—such payment it was alleged being a misapplication of the Borough -rate. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE granted a rule. THE S OHO MURDER, ARSON, &c ADJOURNED INQUEST._(THIS DAY.)

Two of Mr. I3ayly's most popular dramas will be played, and between them a concert will be given, at which s ome o f t h e first artists now in England will assist, viz., Madame Dorus Gras, Madame Albertazzi, Madame Stockhausen, Madlle. Bildstein, Ivanoff, M. Haumann (tho celebrated violin player), M. Benedict, Miss Hawes, Miss Romer, Miss F. Wyndham, Mr. Balfe, Mr. H. Phillips, &c. The Marchioness of Tavistock has set the example of making a party to fill a public box in the dress circle. This has bee n f o ll owed by s( vcral ladies of title, and it is quite certain, therefore, that the dress circle of Drury-lane Theatre, this evening, will exhibit a display of rank, beauty, and fashion, such as has seldom graced the public boxes of an English theatre since the brightest and best days of the English drama. The Nottingham and Derby line of railway was opened on Thursday morning last, by a large party of the Directors and their friends, and was witnessed by a nume rous concourse of spectators.

In consequence of Hampton Races the attendance was very thin, and no business was done. HAMPTON AND MOULSEY RACES—THURSDAY, Yesterday was the Hampton " Derby-day." Her Majesty's gracious gift of 100 guineas, superadded to the judicious ar rangements made, brought to the Hurst a greater assemblage of persons of all ranks and degrees than we ever before wit nessed there.

Third Heat-5 to 2 and 3tol on Harold, who waited on Ada to the last turn, when he took the lead, Pauline following, evidently able to win whenever it should please her jockey to suffer it ; it was obvious, however, that he meant nothing of the kind, for while the honest mare pulled h er h ar d est to " go up and n in," he p u ll e d m i g h t and main at the curb rein to pre vent it, notwithstandi n r, the groans an d hi sses an d l aughter which greeted hi s ears b fr.rn all parts of the course.

T" N ' F ED ITT e ' s'—'-4`d LIVEN IN G ._ : 1 ......_ .__, 7.1 asum THEATRES. ~. HER MAJESTY'S. * 7 4 Romani's opera of Lucrezia Borgia was last nigh produced at this house, for the purpose, chiefly, 0 giving Signor Mario a favourable opportunity to ma,k9 his appearance, who may be said to have had the whole opera to himself. He was encored in the "Di pis catore," and-he was also highly successful in the touching air " Raggio d'Amor," in the second act. His voice is a very pure te nor , h av i ng a l l i ts notes clear and strong. His style, also, is of the most laudable kind, from its freedom from all tendencies to coarseness than we generally find the case with young artists. In his figure Signor Mario is delicately made, and he acts with much spirit ; he may be well be considered an improvement on these boards. The chorus singers did themselves not a little credit in the manner in which they executed their duty in this opera. The scenery was all new, and, for the most part, rich. After the performance of the opera, a new ballet, called La Gitana (or Gipsy) was brought out here. It is one of Taglioni's St. Petersburg works, and, as far as good scenery and plenty of dancing can have any concern in the question, it is undoubtedly a good ballet. Three different kinds of dancing are introduced into the first act, and the second concludes with a version of the celebrated Caohuca, in which she may be fairly stated to outshine all her con temporaries. The house was remarkably well filled. HA YMARKE T. The play of the Stranger was represented here last night. Miss Maywood, from America—of whose recent debut in Bianca, in the tragedy of Fazio, we had the grati fication of speaking in very favourable terms— sustaining the part of Mrs. Haller. This young lady's personation of this character will unquestionably add to her profes sional reputation. Miss Maywood's practical acquaintance with the stage, it is said, is but of very short duration, the present, we believe, not exceeding her fifteenth per formance. Cooper played the Stranger very effectrely. Strickland, in Solomon, though always painstaking ands clever, was hardly, we thought, self-important enough ; and Buckstone, in Peter, though amusing, would' do we or rather, perhaps, better, if he bore in mind LiEnlet's Rake to " you: clowns." Ho g played Francis vc y well, and Walter Lacy, in Baron Steinfort, was thk finest dressed man in the piece. In the farces of IViehtias Rant and Uncle John, Farren, who has returned to this theatre after a two seasons' absence, played those characters in his best manner. Strickland's Dr. Birch and Friend Thomas, Buckstone's Shrimp, Webster's Hawk, and Mrs. Glover's Mrs. Hawk, were amongst the most amusing matters of the night, and afforded very general satisfaction and pleasure, as testified by the frequent laughter and applause of a well filled house. METROPOLITAN POLITICAL SUMMARY. I The Courier of last evening, alluding to the prospects of Toryism as being revived by the blundering of their adversaries, says—" The lot of the Tories is, notwith standing all these adverse points a singularly lucky one. Their adversaries, Whig and Radical, are evermore, by accident or by design, taking some course or making some slip, that seems peculiarly calculated to render them timely support, or to revive their drooping hopes of success. The Ministerial deficiencies which we yesterday recognised and lamented, seem—for example—especially devised and created for Tory advantage. Who and what, within the wide range of the British empire, can by possibility be benefited by such prejudices and timidities, but Tories and Toryism ! Turn from Whigs to Radicals, and what else do we see ? What meet us there, but proofs the most positive that there is no good luck stirring but what lights' on Tory shoulders 1" The Globe, recurring to the subject of Lord John Rus. sell's speech in the Commons on Tuesday night, observes— " There is no mystification,' and there is no finality' secret influence. There is the simple fact, that Lord John Russell, though friendly to progressive improvements, will not abandon the basis of the first Reform Bill to effect a second one. There is the other simple fact, that if Lord John Russell would make this abandonment, the moderate section of his supporters would, to a man, leave him alone in his glory. The Ministerial Leader's statement of his own meaning was a perfectly clear one, and was not, we believe, so displeasing to that section of independent Mem bers whose views may be considered to have been repre sented by Mr. Warburton, as the silence after Sir R. Peel's injurious commentary." The Standard contains the following absurd paragraph in a leading article on the subject of the Ministry :—" We believe that the Parliament will be dissolved before Mid summer day, and an attempt made to obtain a Radical House. Let no man be incredulous because of the extra vagant absurdity of the surmised project. The efficient Prime Minister at present is the Marchioness of Normanby ; and with her means of information, she may be well enough excused for believing that the people will support her Go vernment; or, if she listens to her husband's representa tions, she is still more likely to miscalculate. It is impos sible for any one to reflect upon Lord Normanby's acts and demeanour in Jamaica and in Ireland, and to read his wretched novels, without coming to the conclusion that he is, as the Rev. Sydney Smith would say, a regular fool.' " The Morning Chronicle of this day, recurring to the subject of Lord John Russell's speech in the Commons, in reply to Sir Hesketh Fleetwood's motion for an extension of the franchise, says:—" If the cause of Reform do not advance, it will not be the fault of Lord John Russell. His worst enemies, if he have any, will never accuse of in sincerity a man whose honesty is proverbial; and we know, therefore, that we could place the firmest reliance on his really entertaining those opinions in favour of progressive Reform to which he gave expression on Tuesday night. Whoever in the hour of trial may be found backward, it will not be the Noble Lord. It was evident to us on Tuesday night that the cause of the Queen and the people was in imminent danger from a hesitation in some quar ter to adopt the only mezns by which th e Govern ment could possibly only together. Not a moment was to be lost. A Government depending on popu lar support deceives itself if it seeks to deceive the people. It derives its strength from the confidence which the people repose in its honesty. It gives us pleasure to be able to assure our readers on information which may It relied on, and the correctness of which they will have an opportunity of testing in a few days, that we may congra tulate the country on some progress. The Bahot is to be made an open question, and as notice of motion on this subject will, we have reason to believe, be given almost immediately, the votes will at once afford evidence of this determination. We trust that we may soon be enabled to 4 give assurance of other advances indicative of a better understanding between Ministers and Reformers than has for some time prevailed. May the good principle in the Cabinet, which has so far prevailed, continue to be suc cessful 1" The Times alludes to Tuesday night's debate in the House of Commons, in the following ridiculously exag gerated style :—" We repeat that the proceedings of that one night have exposed to all England the internal discords of the Cabinet, still named after Lord Melbourne. It was tx)t the distracted manner of Lord John Russell alone, but look at the subsequent conduct of the other Ministers, of whom not one took the slightest part in the debate, or furnished the most trifling support to their unhappy leader, assailed as he was by Radicals of all shapes and dimen sions—charged as he was by Mr. Warburton, with imibi guity and mystification—lauded as he was in a manner stilt more tormenting by Sir Robert Peel, and still more mis chievous to the reptile policy of the Government for the frankness, candour and uncompromising boldness with which he had pledged himself and colleagues to resist the meditated violations of the Reform Bill. Nothing could induce the spell-bound Whig Ministers to reinforce or rescue their bewildered chief." The Morning Herald observes, in the course of a lead ing article suggested by Tuesday night's proceedings in the House of Commons:—" Lord Normanby is intriguing to place himself at the head of the Parliamentary Radi cals, who, on Tuesday, cast off their allegiance to the existing Cabinet. Whether Lord Melbourne will be able to maintain himself in his present position against his Colonial Minister, is doubtful. Equally doubtful are all the Ministerial movements. Lord John and his colleagues in the lower house may be stopped at any moment, in their attempts to shuffle through the business of the Ses sion—and compelled to resign. The Normanby party in in the Cabinet may prevail, and may adopt the desperate chances of a dissolution, and of a manifesto in favour of " Reform." Tho Morning Post, commenting on a leading article that appeared in the Chronicle of yesterday, and which our Contemporary calls the " N.rmanby Manifesto," makes the following remarks :—" How very agrecable it mast be to the Noble Lord to be told that he possesses the peculiar privilege of being not one man, but two—that his individual and his Ministerial being have nothing to do with each other—that, being a Minister and an individual, he must be allowed to have two separate memories, and understand. ings, and consciences, two distinct sets of principles, in tentions, objects, sympathies, affections—that what he approves as an individual canrrot be expected to iadicate in the slightest degree what he intends to do as a Minister, or what he promises as a Minister, what he is likely to attempt as an individual. The meta physical morality of the Normanby manifesto, although Lord John has been something of a dabbler in the same line of speculation himself, is, we fear, of too transcen dental a character to produce all the effect that is intendell upon the mind of the Noble Leader of the House of Commons." The Morning Advertiser remarks in an article on the East India Society :—" If we look at the three staple articles of our commerce as relates to our wants—for they have become wants—in a physical and manufacturing point of view, ttit, sugar, and cotton—consider the mode and precarious tenure of supply, and me'n look at the in viting field which India presents for the production of these several articles, it would in itself afford abundant induce ments to make a grand effort for the development of the vast resources of that mighty empire. For tea we are at present dependent on the caprice of the Chinese, and the observance or avoidance of their ridiculou', irksome, and exclusive laws. For sugar we are dependent on the West India planters, and the Chance of their oppression keeping terms with the aspiring throes of freedom in the bosom of the emancipated population. For cotton we are dependent on the preservation of amicable relations with America; and on the infortuitous issue of any of these chances, the B r i. i tish nation would be subjected to ncalculable loss and in convenience. India presents the means of providing ag a i nst all these contingencies. Tea is already cultivated there ; an article requiring the most delicate adaptation of soil, climate, and culture. Cotton and sugar have long been produced in a rude state; and the whol e o f t h ese valuable commo dities have in India all the requisit es o f productive soil, climate, labour, and ingenuity, and r equ i re merely ca pital,enerny, and co-operation to afford an abundantsup ply to the world. If these i induce ments f ail, it would be fruitless to adduce others, f men prov e bli n d to t h e i r own interests, it would be folly to appeal in behalf of humanity. On these grounds alone the British India Society deserves support, and the benefit which it will effect for man kind will serve to cheer on the efforts undertaken for in dividual gain."
