DUBLIN, AUG. 10.—There is a rumour in town to day that her Mgjesty and her Illustrion3 Consort intend t 9 visit this country during the present autumn. THE CROPS. The weather has unlerg - one a favourable change since yesterday, although it still appears far from settled. DoNE9AL, AUG. B.—Since Monday night we have had much fine rain, from which the crops are looking most promising. Farmers look forward to an abundant harvest ; crops of every description have apparently re covered the early drought. Potatoes are plentiful in the markets, and both cheap and good. The hay has turned out beyond expectation, and wheat looks well and for ward to ripening. BORRIS-IN-OSSORY (QUEEN'S CouNTY.)—The heavy rain and wind of MDiElay night and Tuesday morn ing have done a great deal of injury to, the heavy crops in this nei3-hbourhood. The River Nore was flooded extensively, and all the bottom meadows are covered with water. ADDRESSES TO LORD lIEYTESBURY. The College of Physicians presented an address to the Lord Lieutenant yesterday, at the Vice-Regal Lodge in the Pheenix-park. The following is the reply of his Ex cellency : " Mr. President and Gentlemen,—Your address of congratuktion upon my arrival in this country has afforded me great satisfaction. " I feel grateful to you for the flattering manner in which you have alluded to the different employments I have had the honour to fill as representative of my Sove • reign at foreign courts. I endeavoured there, as I shall always endeavour here, to carry out the duties in• trusted to me with temper, firmness , a nd impartiimpartiality-- feeling feeling convinced that such a line o f conduct is most likely to secure the confidence and approbation of the Irish people. "You may rely, gentlemen, upon my granting all the encouragement in my power to the arts and sciences; and nothing shall be wanting on my part that may tend to uphold the character awl consequence of your distin guished College, "I thank you, gentlemen, in Lady lleytesbury's name, as well as my own, for the kind expression of your good wishes." THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAYEVENING, AUGUST 12, 1844. A FIGIIT IN A JURY-ROOM. At Cork assizes, on TuesdAy evening, Mr. Kemmis, Q.C., presiding, the jury, M the case of Casey for horse stealing, came into their box. COURT—WeII, gentlemen, have you agreed ? Fore man—lmpossible, my Lord ; two of the jury are as ob stinate as mules—the eloquence of Socrates would not convince them.—(Loud laughter.) The jurors retired for the night. On Wednesday Doctor Beamish came into Court, and having been sworn, stated that one of the jury in the case of Casey, named Carey, was labouring under affection of the kidneys and stomach, and that his confinement would be attended with serious results. The Court directed the jury to be discharged. Mr. Bennett, Q.C.—Before this jury is discharged, I must state to the Court that I have been informed that some highly improper conduct took place in the jury room last night. I call upon one of the jury to come out of that box, and inform the Crown solicitor of the disgraceful occurrence which took place last night. Foreman—The fact is, my Lord, that about two o'clock this morning, when we were all reposing as well as we could. one of the jury, who got some sudden fit, jumped up from his chair, struck us with it, and trampled about on our bodies —(Roars of laughter)—and what was more extraordinary, in a short time after he did not re member what he had done.—(Continued laughter.) Another Juror—l can show my arms where I was struck with the chair, and if I had not taken up another chair to protect myself, I don't know how it would be with me.—(Laughter.) The belligerent juror, a Mr. M'Donnell, was here brought into the box, and sported a very ugly-looking black eye. Counr —Oh, let him go away, let them all go away ; I shall certainly not swear them any more this assizes. ' PUGILISTIC ENCOUNTER ON THE BENCH. A Birr (King's County) correspondent of the Tippe rary Vindicator writes as follows :—" A rich scene occurred on the bench of the Petty Sessions Court shortly after Sir W. Lynar had retired. Mr. Philip Drought, a deservedly popular magistrate, playfully applied a rod which he had in his hand to the back of Sir Edward Synge, who was sitting in front of him, when the Baronet, sudenly turning round, and throwing himself into a pugilistic attitude, popped in his right and left, fibbing Mr. Drought in a style that would have done credit to Deaf Burke' or the "Tipton Slasher.' Queer things have sometimes been acted even on the bench, but such an exhibition as mill' or sparring match has seldom come off in a court of justice." SHOCKING MURDER IN THE KING'S COUNTY. The Nenagh Guardian contains the following appall ing narrative :—" It again becomes our sad duty to re cord the perpetration of a barbarous murder. The lo cality of this scene of blood is the King's County, close to the borders of Tipperary, and within one mile and a half of the village of Shinrone, at Kilcommon, in the barony of Clonlisk. The deceased, Thomas Grenvill, was a stonemason, of industrious habits, the only sup port of an aged father and mother ; but, unfortunately for himself and others, he became acquainted with a girl named Winny Cahill, who, with her parents and four brothers, lived contiguous to the residence of the Grenvills. Their intimacy resulted in the girl giving birth to a child, which is now one year and a half old. No excuse can be pleaded for Grenvill's unfeeling con duct towards the girl Cahill, not only in refusing to marry her, but even to allow her any recompense for the support of her offspring or the loss of her character, on which the blight of defamation never rested up to the period Grenvill became her seducer. Her father obtained a quarter sessions' decree for the loss of his daughter's services and time during her confinement, but was un able to recover the amount. The Cahills at last were incensed at the harsh and ungenerous treatment their sis - ter received, and inflamed with revenge, they were fre quently heard threatening Grenvill : his house was at tacked, and on many occasions the police had to protect him. Grenvill's mother, about ten o'clock, had pro ceeded to Shinrone to buy some bread, when her son determined to meet her, in order to carry her over a part of the road which was flooded, near the bridge of Kilcommon, adjacent to which there was a wake, where many persons, and among them were the Cahills, as sembled. Grenvill was seen taking off his shoes and stockings, and must have been followed down to a dark part, where his assailants waited the return of their vic tim. They fractured his skull in several places, and broke his arm and jaw -bone, and from the severity of the wounds it is thought instantaneous death must have ensued. Some boys going home found him on the road bathed in his own blood, and bore him to the home of his aged parents a helpless and mangled corpse. On the following day a lengthened investigation was held before Sir W. Lynar, R.M., when six ,persons were committed. An inquest was held on Thursday, and the following verdict returned:—" That on the 6th day of August, at Clika, parish of Kilcommon, barony of Clonlisk, King's County, Thomas Grenvill was found dead, where he was previously wilfully, feloniously, and of malice afore thought waylaid, killed, and murdered by some person or persons to that jury unknown." PARDON OF A CONVICT.—The Tipperary Indicator contains the following:—A man of the name of Neil, tried and found guilty at the last assizes for this county of the wilful murder of John Kennedy, at Cappagh, in January last, and left for execution, was on Thursday morning informed by the governor of the county gaol that Government had granted him a free pardon. EXECUTION IN ROSCOMMON.—At half-past twelve o'clock on Thursday, pursuant to the respite, Catherine Brien and Bridget Langan were executed in front of the county gaol. Catherine Brien protested that she had neither hand, act, or part in the murder, but did not deny that sho knew of it, and, therefore, admitted the knowledge of all that took place. At the late meeting of the board of trustees of the College of Maynooth, the Right Rev. Doctor James Brown, Bishop of Kilmore, was appointed a trustee to the said college, in the room of the Right Rev. Dr. Kernah, of Clogher, deceased. ACCIDENT ON THE BRISTOL AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAY.—GLOCESTER, SATURDAY EVENING.—An ac cident of a very critical kind, and which must have =lied some alarm at Bristol, occurred this evening on theristol and Gloucester line. The stations of the Bir mingham and Gloucester Company and of the Bristol Company are placed exactly alongside of each other, but the respective lines of rails cross each other at a point about half a mile distant from the stations. The train which conveys the mail left the station at half-past 7 o'clock for Bristol, but when the engine had cleared by only a few feet the place where the Birmingham lines cross the Bristol lines, it left its rails and got embedded in the gravel of the permanent way. The carriages at tached to the engine lay in the way of the Birming ham traffic, and as it was known that a goods' train could not be far distant, a lively alarm was felt lest it should come up whilst the rails were blockaded. To guard against this a man was instantly dispatched with a flag in the direction of the coming train, and every effort was made to get the carriages shoved back to the station. Both objects were luckily accomplished. The man with the flag succeeded in attracting the at tention of the driver of the coming train, and a stoppage took place, and the Bristol carriages were shoved back to the station. As might be supposed, considerable alarm was felt and expressed at the outset by the passengers, but on the nature of the accident becoming known, the alarm subsided into grumbling at the detention to which they were subjected. The embedded engine lay within a few feet of the off Birmingham rail, and the circum - t ery en _, aeen rumoured that the pensioners of the stance enabled the goods train from Birmingham, which consisted of thirty-seven heavily-laden carriages, to pass its tc._uoinarines are to be enrolled on the same system after a detention of about half-an-hour.

PoRTSMOUTII, AUG. 11.—The Fairlie transport, Master-Commander J. Roskeill, arrived in the night on Thursday, with the head-quarter detachment of the 55th Regiment from China, under command of Lieutenant- Colonel Warren, C. 8., consisting of 10 officers and 219 men, who landed yesterday at the Royal Dockyard, and took up their quarters at barracks a few miles from Portsmouth, whence they will proceed to Chichester barracks on Monday. The paymaster, 13 men, 1 woman, and a child died on the passage home. The Fairlie left Hong-Kong on the 12th of March, and St. Helena on the 22d of June. On the 11th April, when in lat. 12 2 south, long. 103 41 east, she encountered a hurricane of ten hours' duration, in which she lost a main-topsail and foresail, the fore and mizen topmast, and maintop gallant masts, the jib and flying-jibboons, and also the sails which had been furled prior to the hurricane. The weather quarter-boat was carried inboard and stove in on the poop; she lost the other quarter-boat, poop•awn ing, and hammock nettings, and all her cabins were store in. The live stock were all drowned. No lives, however, were lost. Two days afterwards the Fairlie passed a great number of dead bodies, with the remnants of a wreck floating upon the water. The Samarang, 26, Captain Sir E. Becher, Knight, was pursuing surveying operations at Manilla on the 16th of March. The Thunder, 6, Commander E. Barnett, on the sur veying service in North America and the West Indies, passed Bermuda en route to England, on the 20th of June. The Sealark, 10, Commander T. L. Gooch, delivered tho presents from her Majesty to the Black Kings of the Calabar River (Eye and Ambo) on the 28th of May, on which occasion King Ambo gave a feast, and introduced to the notice of the officers of the brig his score or so of wives, who amused them by grotesque dancing peculiar to their race. _ The Alligator troop-ship, 22, Master Commander J. N. King, left Madras on the 3d of June, on her re turn to join Rear-Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, Knight, in the Agincourt, at Hon ;-Kong. The Princess Royal, transport, Lieutenant Harris, having on board stores and provisions for the squadron in South America, arrived at Rio on the 3d of June, at which date the Cockatrice, 6, Lieutenant-Commander J. Otenham, Dolphin, 3, Lieutenant-Commander W. Hoare, and Growler steam-sloop, Commander C. 11. M. Buckle, were lying at Rio. The latter was about pro ceeding to the coast of Africa, to assist in the suppres sion of the slave-trade. The Collingwood, 80, Captain Eden, is still at Spit head. The Collingwood is infinitely the most complete ship of her class now afloat ; she is splendidly officered, and manned by a crew which for smartness and efficiency were never before collected in one ship, the Coiling wood having had the pinking of the hands from upwards of half-a-dozen ships paid off at this port. The Commander-in-Chief Sir C. Rowley, Bart., G.C.8., &c., struck his flag on the Excellent, on Wed nesday, and proceeded, on leave, to his seat at Windsor. The duties of the port will be carried on pro Om by the superintendent of the dockyard, Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker. The Rose, 18, Commander Sturt, was at Vera Cruz in the early part of July. Yellow fever was raging to an awful extent. _ _ The China fleet was distributed as follows, on the Ist of April : At Bong-Kong—The Agincourt, 72, Captain Bruce, flag of Bear-Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, Knight ; the Minden, 20 (hospital-ship), Captain Quin ; the Castor, 36, Captain C. Graham ; the Driver steam sloop, Com mander Courtney Hayes ; the Vixen, steam sloop, Commander G. Giffard; and the lion. Company's steam sloop Proserpinc. At Whampoa—The Wolverine, 16, Commander C. F. Browne. _ _ At Amoy—The Serpent, 16, Commander W. Nevill. At Chusan—The Cambrian, 36, Commodore 11. Chadds; and the llon. Company's steam-sloop Medusa. At Ningpo—Tho Pelican, 16, Commander P. Justice. At Shanghae--The Wolf, 18, Commander A. Vyner. The Royal yacht, Victeria and Albert, is now rapidly completing stores for service. The very disagreeable effluvium which has ever been most annoyingly prevalent on board this fine vessel, has, we are informed, been totally removed by the application of Sir W. Barnett's patent preparation for the preservation of timber, &c. She will go out of harbour to try her new machinery in a day or two. The Scourge, a new steam-sloop of 420 horse power, now building at this dockyard, will be ready for launch ing by the end of next month. The 12-gun new class experimental brigs at this port are still uncommissioned. Numbers of fine able seamen and petty officers are waiting, and have been for months, to join the squadron, and will not enter a larger ship. Complaints are loud and deep against such dilatory folly on the part of the Admiralty. In Harbour—The Victory, Queen, Excellent, and the Fearless, Echo, and Cuckoo steam-vessels. Ix Dock—The Prince Regent, Wanderer, and the Scourge (building), and Dwarf steam-vessels. In the Basin—The Royal yacht, Lily, Flying Fish, Daring, Waterwitch, Pantaloon, and Osprey. At Spithead—The Collingwood. DEvosiroaT, AUG. 9.—A general court-martial was held at the Government house yesterday, consisting of the following members :—Colonel J.

Beseech him whose wisdom and power meetly dispose all things for the good of them that love Him to endow her Majesty with Christian wisdom, with heavenly fortitude, and with Divine charity, that she may so govern these realms with pru dence, justice, and benevolence, that an eternal crown of unfading glory and happiness may succeed to the perishable crown of anxious responsibility, which at tends worldly empire. " That you may all unite with one heart and one voice in these fervant acts of thanksgiving and supplica • tion, we direct that, on the first Sunday after the re ceipt of this pastoral letter, there be recited or sung in every chapel, Te Deem, Laudamus, with the Versicle and Response, Benedicamus &c., and the prayer Dcu.s cities miseracordiee, &c., and Domine salaam fac, &c., with the usual prayer for the Qaeen and Royal Family —in Latin or English.

The inquest on the bodies of the unfortunate persons who perished in so melancholy a manner at the Notting ham execution, concluded in the following verdict : " The jury are of opinion, that the deceased indivi duals were accidentally thrown down in and by a crowd of people who had been attending a public execution in the town of Nottingham, and were then and there trampled to death, or suffocated." It was then unanimously added, that " the jury are of opinion, that the front of the County-hall is a most im proper place for a public execution, and they trust the persons who have the authority to fix upon a place for that purpose will not allow another execution to take place there." The matter would have speedily been settled, bad not a desire been expressed by several of the jury to add something in the way of censure upon the magistrates. Mr. Page, as foreman, declared he would not sign the verdict if a resolution of censure were not passed, and expressed his determination to hold out until the follow ing day. The coroner at length explained, that although the verdict must be unanimous, any subsequent opinion of a majority of the jury might be appended. An ex pression of censure was then persisted in, and was car ried by a majority of two, in the following terms : "AT majority Of the jury at the same time express their opinion that, considering the extensive excitement which prevailed, sufficient precaution was not taken by the proper authorities to prevent accident." 124,214,192 12 10i 3 • CLERK.

HER, MAJESTY AND TIIE INFANT PniNcE : --On Saturday the following " form of song and thansg ivin g ' was offered at all the synagogues throughout Great Britain on the accouchement of her Majesty the Queen, and the happy birth of a Prince:—" Aleim, 0 Lord God, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, whose dominion is everlasting, in Thy great goodness, dost Thou bestow Thy kindness on all the inhabitants of the universe. Through Thee Kings reign and Princes administer jus tice; on them hast Thou placed the kingly diadem. With song of thanksgiving do we approach 'Thee, and with praise and blessings for Thy favour shown us, that Thou h3st vouchsafed to visit our Sovereign Lady Queen Victoria with mercy and salvation. Thou art He who giveth to the weary strength, and to the feeble power. In Thy great kindness and mercy Thou didst shield her; Thou didst release her in safety from her suffering, and hest granted to her a son. 0 Lord bestow on him length of days in health and prosperity, and may h:s name be praised and extolled. Thou, 0 Lord, be with him for ever ! Amen. Most High King, whose eyes are open upon all created beings, as Thou bast Thy goodness given the Kingly crown to our gracious Queen Victoria, so continue to bestow on her Thy favour, to strengthen her, and may her throne be esta blished in mercy and kindness. May her days be pro longed, and her reign continue in happiness. May the sceptre not depart from her prosperity, but sheild her and her offspring, and grant to him the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might. May peace reign in their habitations / and tran quillity in,their dwellings, and may the beauty of the Lord be upon them 1 Amen. Let Thy blessings attend his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the illustrious consort of our most gracious Queen ; may he live to behold his descendants to the third and fourth generation, flourish ing and prosperous in the[fullness of Thy bounty. In his days and ours may Judah be saved and Israel live in comfort. Amen. May He who dispenseth sa lvation unto kings, and dominion unto princes, whose kingdom is the kingdom of the whole universe, who delivered his servant David from the sword of destruction, who maketh a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters, may He bless, preserve, and elevate to the highest degree our sovereign lady Queen Victoria, the Prince Albert, Albert Edward Prince of Wales, Ade laide, the Queen Dowager, and all the Royal Family. May the supreme King of Kings, through his mercy, grant Queen Victoria life, preserve her from all sorrow and grief, save her from all danger, subdue nations under her feet, cast her enemies down before her, and cause her to be successful whereuntosoevor she may turn. May the supreme King of Kings, in his mercy, inspire her heart, and those of her councillors and nobles, with benevolence towards us and all Israel ! In her days and ours may Judah be saved, Israel dwell in , comfort, and the Redeemer come unto Zion. Oh ! may such be the Divine will 1 And let us say Amen." The choir sang the 21st and 40th Psalms. Assistant-Surgeon—James Allan (b. 1837), of the Rattlesnake, to the rank of Surgeon. Second Master—W. S. Bourehicr, from the Aigle, to be Second Master in Charge of the Polyphemus. The remains of the late Ralph John Lambton, Esq., have been interred at Chester-le-street. The chief mourners were Mr. W. H. Lambton and his son, Mr. Henry Lambton ; and the pall-bearers Sir M. W. Rid ley, Bart., R. E. D. Shafto, Esq., Colonel Tower, W. Williamson, Esq., R. S. Surtees, Esq., John Gregson, Esq., Edward Johnson, Esq., and Thomas Fenwick, Esq. The bulk of Mr. Lambton's large fortune, it is understood, is left to his nephew, Mr. W. Henry Lamb ton, next brother to the late Earl of Durham, and son in-law of Cuthbert Ellison, Esq., of Hebburn THE TIMES WE LIVE IN.—During the recent ex p./v.nation of insolvent debtors at Taunton, the case of a farmer, residing near Bridgwater, who had a family of twenty-one children, came before the Learned Commis sioner, upon which his Honour remarked that he could not wonder at a man becoming insolvent who had so numerous a family of dependents in the present hard times. Pstor.xric CROPS.—In the garden of Mr. Blackford, of Blockley, in this county, was picked up, a few days ago, a branch of an apple tree, six inches in length, and bearing upon it a cluster of no less than thirty-five apples. Also in the garden of Mr. Bennett, of Chesnut walk, in the suburbs of this city, a single pea-stalk was plucked, a few days ago, on which were found no 1.. , 5s than 101 pods ! It bars the name of the branch-pea." —Worcester Guardian. CHEAP TRAVELLING.—We ha - va seen nothing yet in the way of travelling which equals for cheapness a projected journey to Liverpool from London by rail, which is to take place on the 19th instant, and from Liverpool back to London on the 29th instant. The • journey is projected to give travellers an opportunity of visiting Scotland, Ireland, Wales, the Lakes, a n d th e Isle of Man; and is one of those extraordinary pleasure trips, which are now so frequent, and are performed so cheaply from being participated in by a great multitule. ' It is an tixemplification of the great principle that the cheapness of any production of art becomes great in pro , portion as its advantages are shared by numbers. A new opera, entitled Corrado di Altatnura, was pro duced at this theatre on Saturday with complete suc cess. It is the composition of Fredeigo Ricci, brother of the composer of Scarramuccia, aryl contains much pleasing melody. The "cast" of the characters was as iu the subjoined scheme:— Corrado di Altamura Signor Fornasari. Ruggiero di Morreale Signor Mario. Giffredo (his Squire) Signor A. Gittbilei. Grand Chancellor Signor Dai Fiori. Delizia Mad. Grisi. Guiscardo Bonello Madlle. Favanti. Margarita Mad. Dai Fiori. Isabella Mad. Bellini. The scene is laid in Sicily, and the period at which it is supposed to pass is about the twelfth century. The plot of the opera, is simple in substance, and not complicated in its texture or development. It turns on the old story —love and treachery. Corrado di Altamura, a Sicilian count, has, " like Jephtha, King of Israel," One fair daughter, and no more, The which he loveth passing well. • ller name is Delizia, and she is betrothed to Ruggiero, a disgraced duca of the Guiscard, or serpent family, who has found a refuge and a friend in her father, in his hour of distress. The gentle maiden is as fond of her lover as ever Galatea was of Aces, as they disported erewhiie on the sunny slopes of the Lilybean promontory ; but he, as though to save the credit of his family cognomen, with the subtleness of the snake, from which he takes his designation, having won her unsuspecting heart, and—it may be something more—woos another high-born dame, the child of the Arch-Chancellor of the kingdom, and arranges to wed her. All this is revealed to Corrado, and by him of course to Delizia, through the virtuous indignation, and it may be violent jealousy—"all for love, and a little for the bottle"—of Bonello, a young and noble knight, ,'who has long sought, but sought is vain, to obtain the hand of the fair one so falsely be trayed, and so foully abandoned; and daughter and sire set out at once for Palermo to stop the nuptial rites— forbid the banns—and exposes the recreant Ruggiero, or " Hager," for that is his ominous appellation. They arrive in due course, at tie " nick of time," and " a scene" ensues, which issues in the resumption, by the Arch-Chancellor, of all the rascally Ruggiero's deprived dignities, the price, it is inferred, of his marriage with his daughter, and then finishes with the flight of the baffled betrayer. The trea son of Ruggiero has, however, so wrought upon the heart of Delizia, that she resol% es to renounce the world, and become the bride of heaven ; and a nun she accord ingly becomes, like the Toaggenhurger's lady-love in the beautiful ballad of Schillar " She you seek, the veil now bearing, Is the bride of Heaven ; Tester's feast, as night was nearing, She to God was given." She has taken the irrevocable vows—she has entered the cloister—she belongs to life no longer, save by her breath—she is among her fellow-creatures, not of them —she is the servant and the handmaiden of religion — immured for ever " In those deep solitudes and awful cells, Where heavenly musing contemplation dwells." The youthful Bonello departs from the church when she has taken "presentation," cast down with the loss he has sustained, and only animated by the hopes of re venge upon him who blighted his being. Her aged fa ther turns away from the grated portal within which is enshrined his treasure—all that to him made life lovely. They are all gone, and he is alone—alone in his deep grief; in his bitter anger, in his boiling rage—grief, and anger, and rage, which none can fancy but those who have felt what it is to have the " one object in the world" torn from them, by hands which they have trusted, and hearts which they have loved. In this mood he encounters a masked man, who implores the pardon of the injured parent on behalf of the wretch Ruggiero ; and who, that pardon being denied to his entreaties and refused to his tears, discovers himself as the traitor. A noble nature will not take advantage even of its worst enemy. Ruggiero calls on Corrado to strike, and wipe out with his heart's blood the stain he has cast on his name, the blight he has brought on his race ; but the angered father, in jured though he is, cannot strike a defenceless man. He gives him his sword, and they fight, not on the stage, and the wounded and disabled traitor flies for refuge even to the convent, where, all unknown to him, Delizia has made her last home between the grave and this world. The end of the drama may be easily anticipated. The nun, attracted by the groans of a dying man in the garden of the nunnery, where she is then walking, rushes to his relief with the prompt humanity of her sex, anti Ruggiero, penitent and imploring forgiveness, passes away—let us hope to a better sphere—under the in fluence of her benediction and her pity. He dies as Corrado, Bonello, and their friends and followers enter, beseeching blessings on the head of her ho loved and betrayed, and offering, as the only extenuation of his crime, besides his deep contrition and heartfelt woe, the fact that he had not once turned his sword against his benefactor and her sire in the fatal affray which cost him his existence, and consigned her to irremediable sorrow for his loss. And so ends this sad eventful history. The first act, which is preceded not by an overture, but by a few bars of introduction, represents the joy of De lizia at the return of her lover Roggero, who departs, almost as soon as he returns, for the wars, according to his own account ; but alas, he has really gone to marry the daughter of the Grand Chancellor, and the joy of the house of Altamura is turned to sorrow, when this afflicting intelligence is communicated by Bonello, the curtain falling on an indignant trio by Donello, Delizia, and Corrado. An aria of Grisi, "Forse ah forse " was pre-eminently successful, not for its own meritS, but for the very exquisite singing of the artist. She lavished upon it all her fioriturc, and never was heard, probably; a more charming specimen of perfect execution. A song which she afterwards sings—" Reggio di content() is exceedingly pretty, and withal light and playful even to triviality. She sported through it in the true spirit of heedless happiness, and we were somewhat surprised that this did not receive the honour of an encore, as well as the preceding aria. A duet by Fornasari artel Favanti, in which the revelation is made of Roggero's itn• fidelity, is remarkable for the favourable opportunity given to the former for an exhibition of strong feeling. The representation of tender affection, when Corrado describes his love for his daughter, and the fury of hia delivery when he discovers that she has been wronged, are among Fornasari's best efforts, and quite in his owns vein. The second act commences with a drinking chorus. The scene is now a hall in the Chancellor's palace, and the nuptials of Roggero and Margarita (Madame Dui Fiori) are about to be celebrated, when the ceremony is interrupted by the appearance of Corse redo, Delizia, and Bonello. The concerted piece by the whole of the dramatis persona and chorus is exceedingly good; and the orchestral accompaniments highly skilfal and effective. The act is a very short one, but what it contains leaves a better impression of Ferdinand Rice! than any other part of the op4Ta. 'We should not take leave of this second act without a word as to Mario'* costume. That vocalist has made it such a come , plete study to introduce new and striking dresses iL every character he assumes, that his habiliments are always anticipated with curiosity. The chain amour in which he is attired in the first act, gives all the notion of a middle-age knight ; as distinguished from the gingerbread-looking warriors who so often represent chivalry. his dress as a bridegroom in the second act is superb. The blue silk tunic, and, indeed, the whole costume, gives an appearance of the most graceful light. ness, while a golden circlet is worn upon the head. It is a most picturesque medium between the classic ar:d romantic attire. The third act is decorated by a very beautiful scene, representing a convent, with light streaming through the painted windows. Delizia is about to take the veil, and nn appropriate chorus and preghiera are introduced. Roggero, stricken with re morse, enters enveloped in a large cloak, and has an in terview with old Corrado, whose pardon he endeavours to obtain. When he reveals himself he receives a. chal- lenge in the place of forgiveness, and the injured father and the faithless lover retire to mortal combat. The whole of this business forms the subject of a duet, which has little originality, but with its attendant flourishing of swords and the spirit of the two vocalists, produces that excitement which must almost necessarily result from all duets, written with tolerable skill, taking their date from " Suoni la tromba." The sound of an organ is heard within the convent chapel, and Delizia enters it after singing an aria. Then Boggero makes his appearance, mortally wounded, but nevertheless in sufficiently good condition to sing a long duet with Delizia, and obtains her forgiveness ere he dies in the arms of Corrado, which death concludes the opera. At the fall of the curtain the principal artistes were called for and received with all the honours. The rang. nificentlhallettof Le Lac des Fees followed, with Cerito as the heroine.

TITLE OF THE INFANT PRINCE.—It was currently reported about the west-end, the clubs, &c., on Friday' and Saturday, that her Majesty has expressed a wish that the infant Prince should bo called the Duke of Kent, in honour of her illustrious father, instead of Duke of York, according to the established usage. The eldest son of Majesty, or Prince of Wales, inherits the income of the Duchy of Cornwall from the moment of his birth, the sum increasing, with interest, till he comes of age.
