The House of Lords met at Five o'clock. Wales, praying that that colony might be put upon the ' same footing as Canada, as regarded the importation of corn into this tour.-try - . Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice of a motion respecting the condition of the labouring classes for that day fortnight. Mr. T. DuscomßE moved for leave to bring in a Bill to secure the inviolability of letters passing through the Post-office. The motion, which was seconded by Dr. BowarNG, was opposed by Sir J. GRAHAM, who, in the course of his speech, stated that as yet he had received no answer to the inquiries which he had instituted, for the purpose of ascertaining the truth of the charges which had been brought against M. MAZZINI, but that, as soon as those inquiries were completed, he would state the result to the House. Lord J. RUSSELL was ready to impose restrictions on the power possessed by Government of opening letters, so as to prevent letters being opened at the request of a Foreign Government, but he was not willing to do away with the power altogether. tip. WARBURTON considered the continuance of the power useless and unnecessary. Lord Howicx supported the motion. The present system was a system of falsehood countenanced, recog nised, and legalised by Government. After a few words from Mr. HUME, in support of the motion, and Mr. T. DuNcomm, the House divided, when there appeared, for the motion, 78 ; against it, 161— majority against it, 83. Mr. MACKINNON then called the attention of the House to the report of the Committee and of the Commissioners on the Health of Towns, and moved the f flowing resolution :—" That it is the opinion of this House that it is inexpedient that interments within the precincts of this metropolis and large towns should be continued, both as being injurious to the health of the people, and as being contrary to public decency." Mr. HOME seconded the motion, which was opposed by Sir JADE* GaAror; on the part of the Govern ment. After a lengthsned discussion, Mr. T. DUNcoMBE proposed the following amendment, which was se conded by Pr. Bowr_lNG, " That the practice of inter ments within the precincts of the metropolis and large cities is injurious to the health of the population and demands the serious attention of Parliament." Mr. MACKINNON was perfectly satisfied with this amendment, and withdrew the original motion in its favuer. Sir R. INGLIS hoped that in any alteration `A hich might be made, due regard would be had to the interests of the Clergy. After a few words from Sir G. GREY, Sir J. GRAHAM advised the House not to proceed in this matter by resolution, and announced his intention on the part of the Government of opposing Mr. T. DUN - CoMBE . ii amendment, as well as the original motion. Tre House then divided, when there appeared—for the amendment, 66 ; against it, 49 ; majority against the Government, 17. Loud cheering followed the announce ment of the numbers. Mr. M. GIBSON moved, " That an humble address be presented to her Mijesty, to the effect that it was the opinion of the House that it was desirable to obtain in formation regarding the amount of acres in cultivation in the United Kingdom—the amount of agricultural pro duce, with a specification of the various kinds, and such other_ information as might enable the House to arrive at a correct estimate of the capabilities of the United Kingdom." Sir G. CLERIC was willing to give the information re quired, but he hoped that on the present occasion the Hon. Gentleman would withdraw his motion. A short discussion ensued, in which Mr. AGLIONBY, Mr. CHRISTOPHER, Mr. WARBURTON, Mr. DARBY, Mr• F. BARING, Mr. GLADSTONE, Sir R. PEEL, and other Hon. Members took part, all of whom admitted that the subject was one of great importance. Ultimately the motion was withdrawn, and the other orders of the day having been disposed of, the House ad journed at Twelve o'clock. The new works in Trafalgar-square have hitherto proceeded at so dogged and tardy a pace towards completion, that public expectation has been naturally excited in a degree proportioned to the delay. Fes tival-day after festival-day was named for the com pletion of the Trafalgar column ; for the raising the colossal statue of NELsoN to its Stylobate elevation above the capital ; and for the anniversary, or com memorative dinner which was to have been given to the surviving veterans of October, 1805—at which one of NELSON'S brother officers was to have presided, but which, alas 1 was eaten only in imagination. Duke Humphrey in the chair A published corre spondence, on each occasion between the Committee of Management and the architect—the Committee and the Governor of Greenwich Hospital, and the Committee and the Board of Woods and Forests— announced that the disappointment experienced on the last occasion would certainly not recur on the one now selected. After a great deal of evasion and, what we will call, downright sheling on the part of the Board of Woods, &c., the consent which the Government had given to the projected arrange ments was withdrawn ; and Lord Lisicoesr, in a state ment memorable for its offensive illiberality, its chil dish absurdity, and its exquisite bad taste, acknow ledged that this ungracious determination of the autho rities proceeded on the apprehension that the veteran tars forsooth, whom NELSON had so often led into con flict with the enemy, and deathless triumphs in every conflict, might be likely—after such a public feast— to commit some outrage dangerous to the public peace, which their valour had so signally maintained against the aggression of all Europe ! So, the coin memoration fell to the ground. The subscription raised for the purpose of dispensing festal hospitality to the old heroes whose prowess had shed so much honour on their country, could not he appropriated to itA legitimate object of doing honour to them. A pecuniary fractional dividend was the poor and mercenary acknowled gmen t o f B r i t i s h gratitude, when it became its misfortune to have its expression controlled by the act of an inexperienced but not very diffident public servant. From the first, we have seen, with pain, that the works in Trafalgar square, which should have been achieved on a grand national scale, have been designed and executed in a manner whose shabbiness and littleness seem to be quite congenial with the feeling with which the Noble First Commissioner of Woods and Forests counter manded the leave to eat their dinner around the column to the Trafalgar veterans. This congeniality of feeling is the one only thing in keeping about the whole affair. Few capitals in Europe could have offered a finer site than Trafalgar square for an ornamental platform worthy - of the magnificent column consecrated to the memory of NELsoN, and of the picturesque, the unequal vista that fronts it, leading to and partly revealing the Banqueting Chamber at Whitehall, and the old Abbey of Westminster. Neither the monstrosity called a National Gallery, nor the incongruous but stately screen of Northumberland House, can mar the general effect of the new buildings, club houses, &c. which surround it, and the imposing effect of the fine portico of St. Martin's Church. It is cer tain that the vacant space included within these boundaries, tying as it does upon an inclined plane, and in the centre of the greatest thoroughfare between the Court and the City, the public offices, and the Parliament, presented capabilities for a magnificent improvement. What has been made of it? The very finest chance has been sacrificed to the very demon of bad taste. It was determined to have enormous fountains, the agreeable office of which it is to cool the air, and refresh the way farers in the heat of summer. Therefore, from the whole of this vast platform everything ap proaching to either shade or shelter has been rigidly banished. In the dog days the pilgrim to this " Column of Fountains" will have to endure the rays of a noon-tide sun above his head, whilst his weary feet will be refreshed with volcanic heat refracted y r m e a t p ncehtrie3c7dspavementdevices of pseudo-as belie which, with u o d f d e y igh g t r p a o y in a ted d P st d a i r r s t: ;sp w ra hi s t - e l-: is really enough to expose our notionsn of public orna mental display to the laughter of all Europe.. Already . n o . f m i oc o k it b s itu unseemly of hoarmen antiquityln t s tis te ex t q ,f ui d si i t s e in c t o e m gr p a o t s io t rapid sixteen months, it is already falling into hollows, if not absolute fissures. Now, may we be permitted to ask how the notion of planting so favoured a locality came to be aban doned ? Evergreens and odoriferous shrubs, which are known to grow freely in the near neighbourhood of St. James's Park, would have imparted picturesque bnuty to the locality, and health and refreshment to the passenger. By the terraces and walks a match- Mutual explanations took place between the Marquis of NORMANBY and Lord STANLEY on the subject of the Irish Constabulary. The Sugar Duties Bill passed through Committee, and after the presentation of a number of petitions, the',r Lordships adjourned to Friday. The House of Commons met at Four. less vehicle would have been furnished for the display of the almost infinite varieties of British marbles and ores, whose deep and glowing hues are susceptible of the most exquisite polish. We m 7 imagine how After the transaction of private business, Mr. Hurl' gave notice that on Monday he should pre test petition from the Legislative Council of New South grand their effect would have been, introduced into Cie facing of the magnificent terrace that overlooks the square from the Pall-mall East approach. But it would have been still more superb, as developed in the handsome flight of stairs that already flank that terrace, and in the panelling compartments, whether in Mosaic or other party-coloured work of the general surface of the square ;—in the parapets and dressings of the fountain reservoirs, and above all in the forms of the fountains themselves. The ex,!enses would have been very trifling, because the marbles of Derbyshire and other English counties, Anglesey, the Isle of Man, and Ireland, are exceedingly cheap. Then the size of the fountains is quite toy-like. They are like Mr. Giant FREEMAN'S left off cups for tossing and catching granetic boulders. They are in every respect paltry and pitiful, for such a purpose and such associa tions. But the planting—how came that important feature to be discarded ? 1V hat difficulty of selection could there be, where, the image of NELSON looked: don n upon the: spot which was to bear his honoured, and thrice renowned, and ever glorious name ? It is not yet too late to repair this omission. The pseudo-pavement cannot be en dured—it must come up. On the soil it has been . it allowed to disgrace, plant, Englishmen! and reve rently rear, and anxiously watch over, and affec tionately :approach, a grove (f laurels; the fitting, and evergreen, and ever-beautiful and ennobling emblem of that unrivalled maritime hero, whose proud motto in life was Palnzarn qui incruit feral; and who, after death, should have even his sculptured effigy reared amidst the scions of that tree which his undaunted head bore over every sea, to every shore, and naturalised in every clime where the flag of his native country had once been unfurled ; her power and her honour vindicated, and his own fame enshrined in the unsculptured but immortal records of victory Two meetings were held on Monday in the metro polis, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament against the proposed additional grant to the College of May. r.ooth. The meetings consisted chiefly of Dissenters, and several of the speakers announced in suitable terms their attachment to the Protestant faith, and the danger of encouraging a religion which they consider hostile to their best interests. No one who is alive to the blessings conferred by the Reformation, can fail to admire the strong feel ing in favour of Protestantism prevalent in this country ; hut that feeling, and we may add that virtue, like all others, should be exercised with discretion. It cannot destroy the Catholic Church. The experiment has been made, and every day only furnishes additional proofs of its failure. Provision is already made for the education el Catholics in Ireland and in all our colonies, not be • cause their tenets are approved of by the State cr the majority of the nation, but because the Catholics will remain fixed in their faith in defiance of persecution ; and it is batter that they should have teachers well educated and friendly to our institutions, than a priest hood comparatively ignorant, imbued with foreign habits and political doctrines, and hostile to everything English. Opposition to this prudent and charitable scheme is not only hopeless, but it is dangerous to the very religion professed by the whole body of Dissenters. They have more to fear from the Puseyite Church than the openly avowed and ancient faith of the Catholics. And who are the bitterest enemies of this grant to May nooth? The enemies of the Dissenters—the bitter op ponents of the great measure fur repealing the Test and Corporation Acts, the unflinching and unscrupulous ad vocates of church-rates, and of every unjust impost levied from other religionists for the benefit of the richest Church in the world. Who were the tellers of the minority against the grant on Friday morning last ? Sir ROBERT H. INGLIS and Mr. J. P.PLUPIPTRE—the one representing the Puseyite University of Oxford, and the other the most bigoted and Church-ridden county in Eng land. The High Church party is represented by those two senators, and one of the leading principles of that party is adopted from the doctrine openly professed by the monopolising and overbearing Romans—" Divide and conquer." By joining with such men, the Dissenters are playing into the hands of those that only watch the opportunity of crushing them and Catholics together. A debt of gratitude, too, is due to the latter. Their representatives in Parliament have even voted fur relief to other religious sects—they have voted against church-rates, and will vote again, though all their best interests are opposed by Christians to whom they have rendered essential services. It is gratifying, however, to find that all Churchmen do not belong to this persecuting sect. Even the men of Kent begin to be moved by a sense of justice and charity. The new and favourite candidate for the western division of the county has announced his intention to vote for the grant to Maynoeth, on the ground that "in the early education of the Catholic clergy, error was greatly mixed up with truth, and he considered that a larger grant for the purpose of procuring intelligent men to teach the candidates for the priesthood in Ireland the whole truth was exceedingly desirable." His remarks excited some marks of disapprobation, but they were drowned by the voices of men who, while they did not forget their religion, remembered that there was but a choice of evils, and that it was their duty to lean to the side of charity. Madrid journals of the alit ult. have been received. The investigation into the late conspiracy was going on, and several of the persons arrested had ben set at liberty, there being no proofs against them. The Senate had commenced the discussion on the Bill for restoring the unsold Church property, which would be passed us a matter of cours-. The Three per Cents. closed 341 for cash, and 34-1 at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at '26 for cash, and 26i at 60 days; and the Debt without interest, at 81 at 60 days. The emancipation of the negr;es in the French colonies and the news from Switzerland form the leading topics in the Paris journals. On Saturday the Prince DE MOSKOWA (son of NEY) resumed his speech in the Chamber of Peers against the Government measure for modifying the evils of slavery and preparing the unhappy victims for complete emancipation. It is rather singular that of the most ardent friends of liberty (if we are to take their own profes sions), Baron CHATIEEs DUPIN and this chivalrous Prince are the most bitter enemies of the blacks. The Prince is especially indiznant at the attempt—as dan gerous to the colonies, and a reprehensible imitation of England, which has ruined her colonies by setting her slaves free. " The English colonies," said he, " are struck to death. If we with to preserve our colonies, let us reject this Bill." Two other Peers addressed the Chamber—one in favour of emancipation, and the other against it, whe❑ the Cocnt DE MONTALEMBERT rose to reply, but owing to the lateness of the hour the debate was adjourned till Monday. In the Chamber of De puties, M. BENOIST presented the report of the Com• mittee on the Bill for the Conversion of the Five per Cents., which recommends that this stock should be converted into Four-and-a-Half per Cents., and reduces to seven years the guarantee to the holders that for that period no further reduction shall take place. It also shortens the period within which the holders are to make their declaration. The accounts from Switzerland in these papers fully confirm the defeat of the volunteers in their attack on Lucerne. The following appears in the Journal de Debals:— " All the accounts which have reached us represent the defeat of the free corps as more complete than was at first be lieved. The victors have made, it is said, more than 1,500 prisoners. The Government of Lucerne has refused to sur render them, and they are confined among the little moun tain cantons, where it will be very difficult to retake them. Lucerne demands to be paid the expenses of the war, The number of killed is not known, but it must be considerable from the dreadful fury of the combat. General Sonnenberg had designedly drawn the free corps into the heart of the can ton, retiring to Gutsch, a height overlooking Lucerne. When he saw them engaged he fell upon them suddenly,while they wore attacked upon the other side by the landsturm, who had risen behind them. The column of refugees and of Ber nese free corps who had entered from this side was cut in pieces. The whole staff of the free corps, who had made part of this column, were taken or killed. The victors returned triumphantly into the town, bringing back the cannon and munitions of the enemy. The column which had marched from Zofinque, composed of refugees and of Argovian volun teers, encountered another division of Lucernese troops at Sursee and was equally defeated; 2,500 men returned to Ar govia. Of the third column, which marched from Runach, there is no news. The Catholic party of Argovia and a part of the canton of Soleure had risen and marched to the relief of Lucerne. List, the capital of Bale-Campagne, and one of the strongest holds of the Radical party, was almost de serted, and the inhabitants in flight. The fear of a civil war was general, for the Conservative party of the canton of Bale were in a state of apprehension. The Vorort had ordered out seventeen battalions under the command of the federal Col. Donatz." COURT cEnCULAH.

The Zurich correspondent of the Constitutionnel, who pretends to good sources of information, admits the de feat, but regards it as only temporary. His letter is dated Zurich, April 2 :-- " Reduced to its proper forces, the Lucernese Govern ment, notwithstanding its immense preparations during the last three months, could have effected nothing, for it was opposed by half of its own population ; but, with the aid of the four primitive cantons, who at the decisive moment poured forth literally their whole male population, the triumph of the Government was assured ; as yet it has only been purchased by torrents of blood. The refugees and the volunteers have succumbed after efforts worthy the most heroic periods of our annals. For three hours the victory was balanced, but how could from 4,000 to 5 000 men, after a march of fourteen leagues, and who were obliged to seize by main force upon all the im portant passages, so as to reach Lucei ne in a day — how could columns, composed for the most part of men who had met for the first time only the evening before, and whose organisation was defective and incomplete—bow could they hold out against 20,000 men (its number ac knowledged by the victors themselves) all fresh troops? For they had only to make the journey of a lake upon two steamers, in movement night and day, the 31st March and c w tt n ons disposed let of April; on the other hand, the insurgents were obliged to bivouack in the plains or upon hills covered with snow nume rous the throughout two cold nights, while the troops of the little ment was of the resources of a capital city.

It was even said that a letter had been received from the c0unt...... Commander-in-Chief stating he otuld hold out twenty-four 1,000/. hours. - It was soon known that this was not the fact ; night passed in the greatest anxiety. In the morning a part • of the first column, which had returned the evening before, moved off to the relief of its brethren in arms, but arrived too late to be of service. There can be no doubt that the second column was cut in pieces. The first column having been repulsed, the Lucernese bent all their forces against the second, which was at the gate of Lucerne. It is certain that the Government of Lucerne had collected an imposing force. The whole population of Uri, Schwytz, Unterwal den, and Zug, with many hundred Catholics from Argovia, had answered to the call of Lucerne. It is said that the Go vernment had not less than .20,000 combatants at its disposition. The column of refugees was driven beck to Malters, at two leagues and a half from Lucerne. There it wheeled round and faced the enemy, because it had to pass a defile which the Lucernese wanted to get possession of. But already were the refugees and their friends surrounded. Cannon were directed upon them right. and left, while they were attacked in the rear, and the whole column was cut to pieces The number of killed was enormous, and many families are plunged in despair. The towns of Zofinque and Arau, with the carton of Bale, suffered the most, because it was the free corps of these places that fought the most vigor ously. A great number of prisoners were made." The Zurich Diet has addressed a circular to the different cantons, calling upon them to repress the exer tions of the free corps, and use every means to put an end to the civil war. Several cantons had replied to the circular, and announced their intentions to second the Diet under the alarming circumstances.

It may be. said that these two gentlemen, committed by former votes against May nooth, could not have done less than abstain from voting; but, on the other hand, it must be allowed that Sir Robert Peel, owing his majority entirely to his political opponents, could not have done less, in return for their disinterested sup port, than dismiss any membets of his Government who re fused their aid. Sir Rhea Peel's majority was 102. One hundred and ten Members of Opposition voted in his ma jority : so that, without the support of Liberal Members, he would have been left in a minority of eight. It is supposed that Sir R. Peel's son-in-law, Lord Villiers, will be Captain Meynell's successor.—Chronicle.

Marshal Bugeaud landed at Algiers on the 27th ult ; on the 29th he received the mai)] ides, and announced to them that during his visit to Paris he had impressed upon the 1 , Government the necessity of making Algeria independent o. resources from France in case of war, and of maintaining from 90,0t0 to 100,000 troops in the colony. The Semaphore de Marseilles states that the Marshal had received chsp.ttches from General Lamoriciere, infitrming him that Abet-el-Kader had again made his appearance on the western frontier, and that he had in consequence embarked tor Oran on the 31st.

The Duke de Montpensier, who has been promoted to the rank of a Lieutenant-Colonel of Artillery, was expected to arrive on the 9th at Marseilles, on his way to join the ex pedition. The Presse contains a correspondence from Berne, of the 3d inst., which admit 4 that the Lucernese had sustained serious loss, adding that their allies of the canton of Uri had suffered mast severely. The other accounts leave no doubt of the complete discomfiture of the free corps. The con querors are said to have made above 1,500 prisoners, whom the Lucerne Government, wh:ch intends to make its ag gressors pay the expenses of the war, has sent into the nionit tains of the little cantons. The number of the killed is nut yet ascertained. The Vorort has addressed a circular to the cantons, calling upon them to prevent the raising of reinforcements, and to repress civil war, and stating that they had sent federal troops into the Freiamt, a Catholic district of Argovia, where a rising was apprehended. Letters from Rome, dated the 21st ult., announce the ar rival in that city of their Imperial Highnesses the Grand Duke and Duchess of Tuscany from Florence. The presence of the King of Naples and the Grand Duke of Tuscany at Rome at the same period, leads the inhabitants to hope may further the wished-for project for the construction of railroads from Rome to Naples and to Tuscany. The Constitutionnet says that a small Spanish squadron is about to be sent from Ferrol to Monte Video, to protect Spanish interests in the Plata, and that the Duke of Seville, second son of Don Francisco de Paulo, will command La Perle frigate, which is to form part of the squadron. The Madrid Gazette mentions the capture, in the Bay of Chilcbes, of a smuggling vessel, which had a crew of 18 men. SAW 41.1‘2:10 POriXelli.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. iiittee. The London season may now be said to be approach ingits zenith. The great stars of the opera have risen. Grisi and Lablache made their first appearance last night - ; and Les Danseuses Viennoises, those wonderful childree who have created such a sensation among the world of fashion on the Continen:—who would have ap peered here at the commencement of the opera season, had not obstacles to all appearance insurmountable in terposed—have at length made their debiit. It appears that the - guardians of these children had heard sad re ports of the doings in this islind of ours. They h a d heard of kidnapping, they feared the children would he stolen, therefore they _would not permit them come among us St.VagO islanders. They had heard of Exeter Hall, and of those who cell sf•regated- therein they dreadlel the Protestant propaganda, they feared that these good Catholic chil dren might be by some mesmeric and mysterious means rvertrd unto heresy, therefore th e y wou ld not permit (Irma to come. However, Mr. Linnlsy at. length suc ceeded in convincirg them that the English generally were neither savages nor fanatics ; arid, thanks to his exertions - and tact, we have them here, and most wonder ful children they certainly are. We have been for some ..eears past in the constant habit of attending the per terniances at her Majesty's Theatre, and in the course of •that attendance we have seen some of the very first dancers in the world, Tuglioni, ti:e Edslers, Cerito, Carlotta Grisi, and Lucille' Grahn. As solo dancers, if we may be allowed to make use of the erns, these stand unrivalled. The corps de balk t, too, of this theatre is admirable ; but, to use a Parliamentary phrase, "we are free to 'confess" that, until we saw those Dansseues Viennois,e last evening, we had no idea of the perfection to e hid, the cheorographic art may-be brought. These children some thirty in number, are of ail ages from 16 to 8 ; hitt although they vary in age they are all equally talented. They performed last evening their pas— L'Allemande L'Hongroise .(a sort of ensemble Polka) — and the pas deFleurs. A we 14 I tilled regimen tgoing through its rnaticeuvres—an accurate piece of machiuery per forming certain given mevsments in certain given times. may give a taint ides of the dancing of these children We say a faint idea, because in the regiment there will be certain members of the aiskward squad, and there are none among the Danseuses' Viennoises. and in the mechinery there will be a want of vitelity and spirit, and there is no want of it among those children. It is a perfect combinetion of accersey and spirit—aid as a German chorus is the perfeetisin of harmony of sound, 50 is the dancing of these childree the p -rfection of harm sty of Not the lea tr rive part of the performance too is that they are chil dren—you feel they are chile ren—there is the jos ousries,, the spirit, the freedom, the freshness of childhood about everything they do. We %sere about to say that it wa,, evident they were engaged in - a labour of love—but the phrase would be inaeeurste, it is no labour te them, it is play—it is sport—it is enjoyment, an d they are qnite as much delighted as the audience. The arrival of these children is an era in the history of the ballet. The improvement which has taken place in our choruses, since perferm ances of the German Opera in this country, is marked and decided ; and if we mist ike not the appearance of Les Danseuses Viennoises will occasion quite as great an improvement in the drilling and manoeuvring the corps de ballet. Certain it is, that those who have not seen those children can form nu idea of what a corps de ouffht to be. They can know nothing of the her stony of motion. It is needless to add, that the applause with which they were received was most enthusiastic. Seldom, indeed, have the walls of her Majesty's Theatre resounded as they did last night, and never was ap plause more richly merited. But Les • Danseuses Viennoises must not, make us forget the opera. It was Norma with Grisi as Norma., Lablache as Oroveso, Moriani as Pollio, and Mademoiselle Rosetti as Adalgisa. Never has this opera been more strongly cast—never has it been more perfectly performed—Grisi and Lablache were both in excellent voice, and exerted themselves to the utmost. The Casts Diva was magnificently given. Resetti's Adalgisa was very beautiful as a piece of acting, pathetic, subdued, every point told, and told well. without any visible ell' rt ; there was no straining after eff-ct, as a piece of vocalization it was perfect, lik - T intonation was critically correct, her expression beautiful. Moriani has made the part of Pollio. It has hitherto been the fashion among tenors to avoid appearing in Pollio, if possible, or if found to accept the part, they nave slerened it over in the most careless manner pos: ible. No audience, until last night, has had en opportunity of judging of the capabilities of the par'—Moriani has crewed it. Would that Bellini had lived to have seen h.im tO hays known that there was one singer at lea , t who thought more of his art than of hims.-If, w h tuo't the pains to study the meaning of the Maestro ; and who had the power of developing that meaning to its fallest extent.— Nothing could exceed the impassioned intensity of o riani, his tones were thrilling and with the full remem brance of the Casta Diva and of' the De conte, which was beautifully given by . Grisi and Rosetti, we have no hesitation in .sly . ng that the concluding trio of the first act, e• On di qual to sei vittimo" by Grisi, Moriani, and Rotetti, was the gem of the opera last evening and the audience were of the same opinion, for it was the only piece honoured with an encore. At the conclusion Moriani and Grisi were called for and received with loud applause. The ballet of Eo'ine coneuded the evening's entertainments. The house was crowded by a fashionable audience within five . minutes after the doors were opened. His Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge, accompani, d by the Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgh •Strehtz. arrived before the commencement of the opera. Her Majesty and Prince Albert honoured the theatre by their presence. They arrived shortly after the commencement of the opera, and remained until nearly the conclusion of the ballet.

This was evident from ta' result of Sir John Y. Buller's motion ; and, there ' he hoped that their Lordship> would not refuse the re . turn. Lord STANLEY could not help thinking that tb i l Noble Marquis had exhibited some unnecessary war n ., 3 :,o onel , this subject. The assertions which he made . night were founded on evidence given b y ;- Drummond, the late Under Secretary m t° Ireland. The Noble Marquis, just previous , ids quitting the Government, contemplated the alterations complained of, and those encoder% _were subsequently carried into effect by the Noble who succeeded him. The Noble Marquis had renl e mended him to be confident of his dates before here 3 de these statements. Now, instead of Sir John I , 4 ee 0 , Buller's motion being made in 1838, it was made in et so that the Noble Marquis himself was the peer a . had fallen into the mistake. With regeri to the ato.`, i ',,o meet proposed by the Noble Marquis, it wa s es t , that the omission was a clerical error. The 01°4,4 might stand in its present form, and their Lorstlds, might rely upon having every information on the Tel The Niarqttis of. NORMANBY said the Noble eel had addressed the House with extreme carelessnessoh facts.
