Remember that he performs wonders every evening, which, if only heard of, would never be believed. In addition to his own Extraordinary Performance', which can have no parallel in the world, he has other Novelties which wouldtill his Theatre, independent of his Mystic Entertainment. The WIZARD is proud to announce that he has engaged (for this week only) The HIGHLAND DANCERS with their PIPERS who had the honour of dancing before the Queen at Taymouth a Dunkeld Castles, during her Maj 'sty's recent visit to the " land o' cakes " 'I hey will nightly appear in full Highland costume and dance their grand National Dances.

COMMENCEMENT OF THE SEASON, ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, GRAND WHITSUN FETES. ON WHIT-MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND THURSDAY. Strong as have been the claims of this favoured place of public resort at the beginning of each season, the Proprietor feels justified in asserting, that never before did it offer a tithe of the attractions it now presents. The Gardens have been complete y renovated, Statues and Fountains introduced, new and extensive Promenades f 'Tined, and the most lavish expenditure in every department, will evince the Troprietor's anxiety to insure a continuance of public Patronage. THE NEW GRAND PICTORIAL MODEL OF LONDON IN THE OLDEN TIME I Painted by Vanson and Telbin, is the most gigantic achievement ever yet produced, and for grandeur of compositi , n, fidelity of design, and beauty of execution, it far exceeds any previous production. It accurately represents snarl London—Old St. Paul's—Old London Bridge—Baynard's Castle, d all the principal Churches and Buildings of the locality, and may with truth be designated the most wonderful production of mo dern times. THE MENAGERIE, ALWAYS UNRIVALLED, HAS RECEIVED MANY VALUABLE ADDITIONS. To defy all competition, the Proprietor has engaged the celebrated AMERICAN DWARF TJM THUMB! now exhibiting at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly. The PROMENADE CONCERTS—the splendid Band of Fifty Performars, conducted by Mr. Godfrey—will perform a selection of the newest and most popular music. The far-famed HIGHLAND DANCERS AND PIPERS are also engaged', and will go through two acts of their National Dances, which procured for them the distinguished approbation of her Majesty and. Prince Albert at Taymouth Castle And at Dusk will take place the most astounding exhibition ever attemited, viz., a Reptesentatton of THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. Mr. Southby (to whom in justice belongs the appellation of" Fire King") has exhausted the resources of his art, to give effect to this exhibitio Lon-ton Bridge, Old St. Paul's Cathedral, and other Buildings wilt appear devoured by the devastating element, and present a heap , of blackened ruins, in accordance with the best delineations taken at the period, and the coup d'ceil will give a vivid representation of a Great City destroyed by fire.

In answer to a question from the Marquis of LON DONDERRY, the Earl Of HADDINGTON said the Go vernment had altered their determination, expressed last session, and intended to take a vote for improv ing still further the harbours of Port Patrick and Donaghadee. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE gave notice that he would this day move that the Chester and Holy head Railway Bill be referred to a Select Committee. Lord WIIARNCLIFYE moved the second reading of the Factories' Bill, and briefly stated the principal clauses ; Lord NORMANDY entered his protest against the Bill ; and, after a few remarks from Lord 33 BouGium, the Earl of WINCIIILSEA, and some other Lords, it was read a second time and ordered to be committed on the 31st inst. _ _ _ In the Commons a new writ wai moved for the borough of Buckingham, in consequence of Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE having been appointed Secre tary at War. The third reading of the Sheffield, Ashton-under- Lyne, and Manchester Railway Bill was postponed for a fortnight, in order to make an inquiry into an arbitration clause introduced into the Bill. The third reading of the Ashton and Staleybridge Railway Bill was also postponed for a fortnight. On the motion of Mr. GLADSTONE, the Standing Order No. 33 was ordered to be rescinded. It had an important bearing on railway transactions, and was at variance with resolutions adopted by the House of Lords relative to deposits on shares. These resolutions had been carefully considered by the Lords, and he thought entitled to the serious attention of the House. Sir R. PEEL said the carrying of the motion would materially facilitate the construction of the Dublin and Cashel Railway, and he hoped before the close of the session that the Royal assent would be given to a Bill for that purpose. Mr. Husia wished to know if the Right Hon. Baronet would have any objection to lay before the House the correspondence which had taken place between England and Texas relative to putting down slavery in that district ? Sir R. PEEL said the Go vernment was not disposed to follow the example of another Government, and he must refuse the appli cation. The House went into Committee on the Bank Charter, when Sir ROBERT PEEL, at considerable length, entered into the currency question, and gave some farther explanations of the main points con tained in the resolutions he proposed on moving a renewal of the Charter. The measure, he said, evinced a liberal treatment of existing interests, and he trusted would tend to prevent those shocks upon the commerce and agriculture of the country, which had often proved so ruinous. Mr. CHARLES WOOD expressed his approbation of the Bill generally. By the Act passed in 1819, a return was made to a metallic currency, and he hoped it would continue-. None of the metals was so unchangeable as gold, and that was one reason why he preferred that standard to any other. The system of free trade in banking was dangerous to any State ; it had produced the most calamitous disasters in the United States ; and the almost unlimited circulation of paper in this country, too, had brought monetary affairs to such a state in 1839 that the Bank of England was compelled to apply for foreign credit. Some other members afterwards addressed the Com mittee, and the resolutions were agreed to. The consideration of the report on the Customs, Duties Bill was postponed till this day ; and after the ,ransaction of some other business the House Ad ourned at Half-past One o'Clock. All the fire-eaters of France seem to have taken great alarm at the plain and honest statements made by the sailor-son of Lours PHILIPPE. They have not, however, surprised the rational and thinking men of France. They have not surprised the merchant seamen, nor the builders of steam-vessels, nor those who forge engines for the French steam navy. These men know the vast resources of this country for any maritime purpose, " whether with sails, or paddle wheels, or Archlmedean screws. They know also that English sailors, and English engineers, and English admirals, too, are a subborn and persevering race, and that if they were by some mischance to sustain one defeat, the country would only be roused to more activity, and never rest satisfied till the dis grace of a naval defeat was wiped away, and England asserted, as she has done for no small number of years, the supremacy of the seas. The Prince DE JOINVILLE admits the fact. " I will suppose," says he, " that which is unexampled I admit—that twenty ships and fifteen thousand English sailors are brought prisoners into Toulon by our victorious squadron. Will they be the more decisive ? Shall we have vanquished an enemy who suffers himself to be crushed by a first blow, to whom resources are wanting to retrieve a defeat, and who, when an outrage is to be avenged, is accustomed to reckon his sacrifices ? To all such as know the English people, it is evident that, in such circumstances, they will see them animated with an immense desire of avenging a reverse unknown in their annals—a reverse affecting their very existence. All the naval resources of that immense empire, its numerous personnel, its physical riches, will be united to efface the stain cast upon the honour of the British navy. In a month, one, two, three, squadrons, as powerfully equipped as the one we have captured, will appear before our ports. What shall we have to oppose to them ? No thing but wrecks." And what would follow ? The remaining French sailors would enlist on board pri vateers, and try the more profitable trade of capturing stray vessels, and gaining a temporary livelihood as marauders in creeks and channels. The French fleets, as in former times, would be locked up in their harbours, and all the commercial advantages which France now enjoys, and which has increased her re venue to an unusual extent, would, in a few months, be annihilated. For, be it remembered, that even if sailing squadrons were'to get out of fashion, if one-half of our numerous and hardy sailors were laid on the shelf, and if the contest were to be decided by steam, England has still a greater superiority in that respect than she even had in the days of JERVIS and NELSON. We have an abundance of iron and coal and every material for the construction of steam-vessels; we have—and the fact is admitted on all hands—the best mechanics for forging engines, and the best engineers for managing them ; nay, what is more, we have at present a larger sea steam navy than all the world together. Has any other nation but England tried the experiment ? We have brought steam into prac tical use both in war and peace. We have steamers, fit for every purpose of war, traversing the Atlantic Ocean, the seas around the countless British islands in the west, and at the same time keeping at bay the vast population of China, and the whole of the Asiatic continent. England gave a striking proof of her skill in this new engine of war when the British navy swept the Syrian coast like a hurricane, and a handful of men penetrated into the heart of the Chi nese empire. Has any other nation yet tried war on the new system? We do not put forth these facts as matters of boast. We state the simple truth; no one can refute it, and even the bitter enemies of England, the writers in the Paris National, who vaunt so much the power of the French navy, losing confi dence in their own resource, look for aid to the Ame ricans. The Prince BE JOINVILLE, who may lose some popularity by his candour, thus admits the fact— "lt has cost me much, in the course of this brief article, to subject my country to a painful comparison with a country which precedes it at so great a dis tance in the knowledge of its interests ; it has cost me much to disclose the secret of our weakness as contrasted with British power. But I should deem myself happy if I could, by this sincere avowal of these melancholy truths, dispel the illusion which so many sensible persons entertain as to the real state o the naval forces of France." Our readers may perhaps remember that some five or six years ago, Sir ROBERT PEEL being in want of a clap-trap for the house of Commons—a want, by the bye, which he seldom experiences—and anxious to show Parliament and the public low great was the political influence which he had exercised, even though " withering in the cold shade" of Opposition —to use Colonel NAPIER'S expressive phrase—since the period of the Reform Bill ;—the Premier, we say, panting for an opportunity to show off, suddenly took it into his head one night to boast of the great and increasing Conservative party which he had built up, amid a world of difficulties, out of the wreck of Toryism. No man sounds the trumpet of self laudation with so much skill and apparent bashful ness as Sir ROBERT PEEL, and accordingly, on the occasion to which we refer, he was listened to with marked deference, and the most im plicit reliance was placed on his statement. He had fo un d the party in question, he told the House, depressed—diminished —divided—and scat tered to the four winds of He aven ; there was not one single bond of union remaining among them ; they were filled with regrets for the past, and w i t h d ou b ts of the future ; they acknowledged no direct chi e f ; they proposed no great aim or obj ec t, b ut drifted ' about, like some shattered vessel without a pilot, at the mercy of the winds and waves. But he—the Premier—took this weakened and discomfited party under his own special care, and from that auspicious moment all was changed.: Having got them duly baptised as "Conservatives," the Quarterly Review officiating at the political font, he next proceeded to infuse courage and :confidence into them by his own example ; and having succeeded with much trouble in rallying and uniting theul under his own banner, he led them forth to battle against the Whigs, and, after a long struggle, suc ceeded in displacing them. There was much truth in this statement of Sir ROBERT PEEL, though it was not true to the extent he would have the world be lieve. He certainly did succeed in rallying the scat tered Conservatives, and increasing both their nu merical and political strength; he certainly did build up a powerful party out of the mutilated fragments— the " disjecta membra"—of Toryism ; but this was owing infinitely more to circumstances than to the force and influence of his own individual character. He was not elected by the Conservatives as their chief, of their own free will—from their own strong, innate conviction of his intellectual and moral fitness for the post; but he was elected by them as a matter of neces sity—because, in fact, they could not help themselves. It was Honson's choice with them. They must either place themselves under the guidance of Sir ROBERT PEEL, or else consent to be wholly extin guished as a political authority. This, of course, was not to be thought of, and accordingly ith apparent good will, but much real reluctance, the surrendered up what little conscience they had left, uncondition ally, into the Premier's keeping. From that day to the present they have not dared to uphold one single principle but such as he approved of. Wherever he has led—no matter what might be the direction—there they have followed. He has dragged them through the dirt without the slightest ceremony —indeed he even seems to take a malicious pleasure in covering them with shame and confusion ; he has made them recant their most cherished doctrines ; falsify their most sacred pledges ; think only as he thinks; and act only as he acts. He is the substance and they are the shadow They have no life but in him. From a party of desperate but honest and con sistent bigots he has converted them into a party of mere expediency-mongers, who, lost to prin ciple and character, are ready to take any colour, and adopt any change that may suit the caprice of the times, or the interests of the Premier. Oh, what a fall—what a degradation for the once proud, consistent, dominant, Tory fraternity ! Are these cringing, cowardly, Conservative slaves, who, like spaniels fawn upon the very hand that lashes them, the same men who for so many years swayed the destinies of England just according to their own sovereign will and pleasure ? In their present cha racter we can scarcely recognise a single trait that belonged to the Tories ; and still less can we recog nise in them a trace of what they once were, when we find them acting without a murmur as the ready, sup ple tools of a man whom at heart they distrust and hate, as much as they fear him—a man who first helped to break up their unity and weaken their strength; and then, when he had rendered them sufficiently de fenceless and tractable for his purpose, made them the veriest slaves of his will, heaped upon them shame upon shame, humiliation on humiliation, and finally succeeded in stamping on their pliant, ductile nature, the ineffaceable impress of his own individual will. By their pitiful conduct on the Factories Bill, the Conservatives have for ever sunk themselves in the estimation of the country. This is the " damn ing spot " on their fame, which no after-penitence will ever wipe away. Justly—most justly observes the Times of this morning, in reference to their un blushing tergiversation on this question, " it is re solved by all Englishmen, nem. con., that the Con servatives have betrayed the people, and utterly done for themselves. Their most devoted friends are speechless. Their ordinary adherents and allies give way to angry or sorrowful reclamations. Their foes are derisive. Some of the deepest and most bitter, having cautiously compressed the lip of scorn till the deed was done, and even helped to seduce the Conservatives to their doom, now break out into every species of contumely, at the unquestionable motives of their conduct." It is a sad—a humiliating thing for England, that she should be governed by the votes of such an abject, sycophantic, PEEL-ridden party., But we have confidence in the old French proverb—" Le bon temps viendra !" Madrid papers of the 10th and 11th inst. have been received, but as usual they are very barren of intelli- gence. The QUEEN and the rest of the Royal Family on the 20th were to set out for Barcelona, on her way to the baths of Caldas, where she would re main for a. considerable part of the summer. The Cortes of course would not be convoked till her re turn. Great preparations were made at Barcelona for her reception. " This morning," says a Barcelona paper of the 12th, " an extraordinary courier arrived from Madrid, when the news immediately spread that their Majesties will arrive in this capital at the end of the month. We learn that the City of Madrid steamer has been ordered to Valencia, where two other steamers are to be on the 19th. 'We daily ex pect in this port two English line-of-battle ships and a frigate, as well as some French ships of war." On the 10th Queen CHRISTINA reviewed the regi- ment of which she is Colonel, and conferred several orders on both soldiers and officers. The Funds have fallen still lower. On the 11th the Three per Cents. were done at 27/ for cash, and 274 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 21 at 60 days, with premium. The pamphlet of the Prince DE JOINTILLE, on the state of the French navy, has caused much excite ment in Paris, and furnishes subjects of remark in nearly all the papers. Some of them had published it at length. According to the Constitutionnel, it has created in the political world, and particularly amongst the officers of the French navy, the utmost sensation; and the Journal des Debats says it will raise very grave questions in the forthcoming discus sions on the navy estimates. It is believed that a considerable increase of the estimates for the navy will be proposed by the Minister of Marine. A sup plementary vote of credit is also required for Algiers. It will be seen from the following extract, taken from the Moniteur Algerine, that the Duke D'AumALE is carrying on operations in that country with consider able activity : _ _ • " The last :accounts of the military operations of his Royal Highness the Duke d'Aumale are of the 3d inst. The Prince having learned that a great meeting was taking place in the Aures, with a view to an attack upon our camp, a nd the Ouled-Sultan tribe having disappeared, his Roy a l highnessproceeded with great rapidity towards that point with all his cavalry. This rapid march produced the desired effect, for the tribes dispersed, and most of them are said to be desirous of treating for their submission. In an engagement which took place on the 24th ult., with the Kabailes, the thick fog, that prevailed having caused a panic amongst the goum, who marched at the flank of the column, the Kabailo cavalry throwing themselves upon the Arab convoy, caused some dis order, but they were repulsed with considerable loss. On our side we have to regret the loss of twenty-one killed, amongst whom was one officer, the brave commandant Gaines." It is stated, says the National, that the Deputies of all shades of opinion in the Chamber have decided that the proposition made last year by M. DE LAROCIIEJACQUELIN, that no members interested in any line of railroad, either as shareholders or as directors, shall take any part in the votes of the dif ferent lines to be granted, is to be again brought for ward in a few days, and that all Deputies having any personal interest in railroads will be invited to sign a declaration to this effect. The Funds remained firm. On the 17th the Three per Cents. closed at 84f. 60c., and the Fives at 122 f. 30c. THE BOURSE--FniDAY, MAY 17. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

The supplies of wheat and barley from abroad have been on a large scale during the present week, and a considerable portion of the former has been paid duty upon. Spring sown corn is still suffering from the effects of so prolonged a continuance of i n dry weather, the f 4 howers that have fallen , though bene ficial to a certain e t, being very far short of what is re quired in the pres parched state of the soil in many districts. .. The English Stocks have been rather flat to-day, and there is not much business doing. For transfer to-morrow Consols have realised 995 to 1, and for Time the same.

By her Majesty's steam-packet Pacha, G. Wilson, Com mander, which arrived at Southampton yesterday evening, we have received intelligence—from Gibraltar, May 10; Cadiz, May II ; Lisbon, May 13; Oporto May 14; and Vigo May 16. The Pacha has brought 44 passengers. LISBON, TUESDAY, MAY 14. A fresh, and, if possible, more atrocious outrage upon the rights of British subjects than that lathe case of Mr. Fletcher, arising from Senhor Cabral's " suspension of the guarantees, is now in the course of perpetration upon a victim of equal respectability, Mr. John Alfred Tozer, of Coimbra, brother to the British Consul at Figueira. Mr. Tozer has now been thirty days under arrest, and dragged during that period through no fewer than six Portuguese prisons; one the com mon felons' calabonco, or dungeon, at Coimbra; another the Limoeiro, or ordinary felons gaol, in Lisbon, sickened with noisome exhalations, and literally covered with vermin from the persons of his convict associates, a fact which can be proved on oath ; and up to the present moment no formal act of accu sation nor specific charge has been preferred against him e es t w i o a n s ed, nor any allegation but the vague one that he was concerned in bribing some soldiers at Coimbra to join the insurgents in Almeida, a charge which, on the two sergeants who affirmed )ndtill t i h e at q l! t it h h e a s v ti i l n l g va b ge een er dwindled down to present when money was offered them. Mr. Tozer is an independent merchant, with no motive whatever to mix himself up in the conta minating politics of Portugal, and the secret of his arrest and degradation (for no amends can prove a compensation to a statement, see feelings outraged by a forced association during 30 days with the felons, foul air, and vermin of filthy Portuguese dun geons, of six of which he has now had experience) will be probably found in the fact of his having in a manly and English, but incautious manner, expressed in society his opinion of the unconstitutional and despotic proceedings of the rulers of the day. From the first, Mr. Tozer demanded to be brought to immediate trial, a demand which, on va rious pretences has been systematically refused to the pre sent time. • The correspondence between the British Consul at Figueira and the Civil Governor, produced no results, and Mr. Tozer, has been sent to Lisbon, and is confined in the Castle. This is the fou, teenth day of his incarceration in the metropolis : and so active have been the movements of the authorities, both Portuguese and British, that we are not yet informed whether any steps have been taken to transfer his case to the ConserVatorial Court. It is stated, that as the case has been referred to the Government, he cannot be released without a Royal order. A circular has been issued from the Home-office to various municipal chambers, acknowledging their congratulations upon the termination of the civil war newly kindled in the country by the most scandalous am bition." The decision to postpone the meeting of the Cortes to the Ist of November has been prudently re yoked, it being held too monstrous to falsify Senhor Cabral's solemn declaration that he would "immediately render to the Chambers an account of his use of the extraordinary powers conceded to him." We shall have stormy debates on the 23d inst. Baron Tozal has secured the active co-opera tion of the leading members of the Finance Committees of both Chambers now in Lisbon, by which means his financial projects will have undergone an attentive consideration pre paratory to the, meeting of the Cortes, and fresh delays will be avoided. The regiments which participated in the late revolt are thus punished by Royal decree :—The 12th In fantry and Ist Rifles have their numbers chaned respectively to the " 17th Infantry " and the "9th Rifles." The existing corps are nominally dissolve but will be immediately re• formed, and consist of the same loyal characters. The 4th Dragoons, who originated the rebellion at Torres Novas, are, without change of designation, to have their head-quarters henceforth at Santarem, and the Bth Dragoons to have theirs in Castello Braves. Great apprehensions had prevailed that the continued drought would have a bad effect on the har vest, but several showers lately have removed these fears, and restored prices which were rising to their usual level. The orange crop has however been ruined. EXTENSIVE FIRE AT TATTERSALL S FARM, WILLES DEN-PADDOCKB,.OII Sunday the inhabitants of the pic turesque village of Willesden, about five miles from Hyde park corner, were "aroused from their usual quietude by the outbreak of a fire upon the extensive range of premises belonging to Edmund Tattersall, Esq., who is universally known - for his cownexion with the sporting world, situate at the Paddocks, Willesden. The fire originated in the rick yard, contiguous to which stands a line of stabling chiefly built of wood. In the yard there were at the time of the out break two immense stacks of hay, containing (our reporter was informed) 140 loads. It appears that a boy employed upon the premises Was amusing himself by cleaning out a kettle which had contained a quantity of pitch, used the day before for farming purposes. To do this the more effectually he heated the vessel by kindling a fire near to a hedge close by the ricks. By some accident, at present unexplained, he upset the pot of pitch, and the wind blowing very fresh at the time, the flames communicated to the body of hay. Alarmed by the circumstance, the boy ran away into the fields to seek for help, and in a few moments several labourers were upon the spot attempting to subdue the violence of the raging ele ment. Finding it impossible to check the flames, information was sent off to Willesden and London, and several engines were promptly in attendance, but although great efforts were made by the firemen, aided by at least 200 countrymen, the flames could not be subdued, and the whole of the hay would have been consumed had not the expedient of cutting the unbumt from the burning mass been resorted to ; but the operation was performed with great difficulty, and some danger to those engaged in it. By two o'clock the smoulder ing ashes of the stacks were quenched, but up W half-past five o'clock men were employed in, cutting and tru.:+sing the hay which remained uninjured r.nfortunately, this is not b is o d uninjured,, n i a fi r j es ure w• cl e ' r more than one-fourth of the original quantity.

" Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The King of the French, with the rest of the Royal Family, quitted the Tuileries on Wednesday (and not on the preced ing day, as was announced by Galignani's Messenger), at half-past four o'clock, to take up their summer residence at Neuilly. At the Barriere de l'Etoile the cortege found a de tachment of the mounted National Guards of the Banlicue, which acted as escort to the palace. In the All& St. Foy, bef.re the gate of the park, were drawn up six companies of the National Guard of Neuilly, having at their head the Sub- Prefect of St. Denis, Viscount Chasseloup •Laubat, the Gene rals commanding the divisions attached to Paris, the Colonel and field-officers of the 69th regiment of the line, at present in garrison at Courbevoie, the officers of gendarmerie, the mayor, his deputies, and the municipal councillors of Neuilly. The Kiag alighted, and several addresses were presented to him. He afterwards passed the National Guard in review. The cortege then entered the park, and proceeded to the château. At seven o'clock there was a grand dinner at the palace, and at nine o'clock the authorities were received. M. Pons de Verdun died at Paris, on Tuesday, in the 85th year of his age. He had been a member of the National Convention, and of the Council of Five Hundred , and Attor ney-General in the Court of Cassation under the Empire. The Paris banking-house of Messrs. Caccia and Ce. has declared its insolvency. The debts are said to amount to several millions of francs. Several Members of both Cham bers, who had deposits in it, will sustain considerable loss. M. Caccia was banker to the Pope. The Echo de la Loire says from Roanne :—" In consequence of the unfortunate failures of some of our receivers-general, the Government has just interdicted all receivers-general of the State from engaging in any banking operations. M. Dreuille, who has been thus compelled either to give up the bank or his post as receiver, has chosen the latter course, and has given in his resignation." The Nuremberg Correspondent states from Frankfort, that the Germanic Diet is to be occupied during the present session with the abolition of all the gaming-houses in the states of the confederation. The Cologne Gazette states from Switzerland that the French Cabinet has addressed another note to the Vorort, desiring that the Duke de Bordeaux and the Duchess de Berry may be prevented from carrying into execution their intention of passing a part of the summer in Switzerland, and that the Swiss authorities have given an answer conformably to the wishes of the French Cabinet. The King of Bavaria, according to accounts from Munich, had been everywhere received or his journey to Holten schwangau with the utmost testimonies of joy and loyalty. He arrived at that Palace on the Bth instant, and visited several of the most beautiful points of view in the environs. In the morning of the 9th he continued on his journey to LindtiU. The Universal German Gazette has a Vienna letter of the 6th instant, in which it is said The late machinations in Lower Italy have determined our Court to send a reinforce meat of 6,000 men to the army of Field-Marshal Count RadetskY." Letters from Alexandria of the 25th of April state that the Pacha had caused the Shah - Soliman Bedreddin to be hanged at Cairo for concealing several fellahs, who had been ordered to return to their native villages. Mehemet Ali was then at Minetilgamh, in Lower Egypt, engaged in devising measures for the destruction of the wild boars which infested the country. Three regiments had been directed to repair thither from Cairo for that purpose. COURT—TASIIIONA237.E. The Queen Dowager is expected to take her departure from Marlborough House, in the course of a fortnight or throe weeks, for Germany, where her Majesty is expected to pass the summer. His Serene Highness the Prince of Solms was visited by a numerous body of the loading nobility, at Mivart's Hotel, on Saturday last, in congratulation of the arrival in this country of his Serene Highness. Prince d'Oettingen Wallerstein has taken his departure within the last week on his return to Munich, the desirable object for which he visited this country being satisfactorily completed. The Marquis of Anglesey has quite recovered from the effects of his recent fall from his horse. The Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster are expected at Grosvenor House to-day, from Eaton Hall, for the season. The Venerable Marquis is in improved health. Lord and Lady Monteagle received, on Sunday, at dinner, in Brook-street, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl Fitz william and Ladies Fitzwilliam, the Earl of Auckland and the Hon. Misses Eden, Lord and Lady Colborne, the Master of Trinity, Mr. Monckton Manes, and Professor Sedgwick. Lady Mary Fox and Lady Adelaide Fitzclarence are pass ing the season in the French capital, where Lady Mary had a private audience of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent previous to the departure of the Duchess for Switzerland. Count Jarnac (Bohan de Chabot), the French Charge d'Affaires, arrived at the French embassy on Friday last from Paris, after an absence of some weeks. The preliminaries have been arranged for a marriage be tween Count Augustus de Grammont, second son of the Duke de Grammont, and nephew to the Countess of Tankerville and Count d'Orsay, and the beautiful and accomplished daughter of Count de Segur. The ceremony is expected to take place early next month, in Paris. ATISCEZZANZOITS. Sir R. Inglis, Bart., entertained Lord Ashley and a party of his parliamentary friends at dinner on Saturday. In the case of a man in the employ of Reid and Co., brewers, Windsor, who was charged before the Eton bench of magistrates with riding on a dray without reins, the defend ant was fined 6d. The costs (which he was ordered to pay), amounted to just 31 times more than the fine, 15s. 6d. Or( the same day a man named Fowler, charged with riding on the shafts of a waggon, was likewise fined Gd. for the offence, and also mulcted in 15s. 6d. costs. In the list of present members of the Royal College of Surgeons is that of John Bolger, who passed his examina tion September 16, 1756. At that time, he must have been, by the rules of the College, twenty-two years of age, so that he now numbers at the least one hundred and ten years. Next on the list Thomas Bolger, his son, who passed in 1784, and who is now, therefore, at least eighty-two years of age, Neither of these gentlemen have been elected a Fellow under the recent charter. Upwards of sixteen scaling vessels engaged in the New foundland fishery have been lost in the course of the late season in the ice, which is unusually heavy and dangerous. The extent of loss of human life is not yet made known. The recently appointed Bishop of Newfoundland preached an eloquent sermon on Sunday morning at the Church of St. John's, Windsor, in aid of the funds of the Windsor and Eton Church Union ociety, from the 16th verse of the 10th chap ter of St. John. The collection, which was made at offertory, amounted to 321. 2s. At the evening service a sermon was also preached by the Rev. Dr. Grant, late Bampton lecturer in the University of Oxford. Viscount Morpeth, as senior vice-president, has consented to take the Chair at the anniversary of the York Church Mis sionary Society on Tuesday next. AN INNOCENT MAN TRANSPORTED TOR TEN TEARS.—On Saturday an investigation took place before Mr. Wakley, M.P., and a respectable jury, at the New Model Prison, Pentonville, on the body of George Gibbons , la te a prisoner in that gaol. Mr. W. Bradley said he was the resi dent mecical officer of the prison. The deceased was ad mitted in the month of February, 1843, under sentence of ten years' transportation. He was at that period in apparent good health. He began to complain of illness in the month of January last, and consumption soon developed itself, which continued until Thursday last, when he expired, having gradually sunk under the effects of that dreadful disease. In answer to the Coroner, the witness stated, that it was pro posed, as soon as fatal symptoms betrayed themselves in this case, to apply to the Secretary of State for the Home De partment on behalf of the deceased, but he believed it had not been done. John Taylor, a prisoner, was next examined as to the mode of treatment to sick prisoners. He said, he had been in the New Model Prison sixteen months, and had been for • the last nine months under the doctor's hands. lie had nothing to complain of. He was well fed and clothed, and properly taken care of. He had been confined in Preston gaol for nine weeks prior to being sent to that prison, and would not go back to the former if he could hell) it. He had no objection to the separation system ; and preferred silence to speaking. He had been a cottonaspinner, and had a wife and five children living at Blackburn. He had been sentenced to ten years' transportation, although he declared he was innocent of the offence for which he was sentenced. He was convicted through the evidence of a man who swore against him solely through malice, and who had himself since been transported for life for robbery. That man asked witness to buy a coat of him for 25., which was worth 10s. 6d., and which he refused to do. The man was afterwards taken into cus tody for stealing the coat in question, and sent for witnesses to swear that he saw him buy it ; but which he also refused to do, as he did no such thing. The man escaped conviction, and subsequently out of revenge gave false evi dence that witness had stolen five cheeses. He (witness) was foreman of the factory where he worked, and having paid the men returned home and went to bed at eleven o'clock on the night previous to which the robbery was committed at three in the morning, and remained there until the time to go to work next day. He had then been fifteen years in the employ of his master, at a salary of 3('s. a week, who attended at the trial and spoke to his character. Evidence was also adduced to prove he was in bed at the time of the robbery. After some further investigation as to the prisoner's case, Mr. Bradley, on being appealed to, said he was labouring under hypochondria. The Coroner re marked, that he really belieVed the simplicity with which the poor man had told his tale indicated his innocence. It was to be lamented that the proper authorities did not more strictly investigate cases before they were sent for trial. So many were tried at once and so few defended by counsel, that it often happened that the innocent suffered with the guilty. It was really horrible for them to reflect when they left that place they might leave immured within its walls an innocent man. It certainly would be a delightful duty for some humane individual to employ their leisure hours in examining into the cases of prisoners with a view to ascertain if they bad been wrongfully convicted. In answer to inquiries, the Governor replied that the prisoner Taylor was an exceedingly well-conducted man. The jury, having with the Coroner expressed a strong hope that some means would be adopted to restore Taylor to his wife and family, returned, in the case of the deceased, a verdict of " Natural death." TEE CONVICT BARBER.—Great exertions it ap pears are being made with the Government to procure some amelioration of the sentence of transportation for life upon this convict. A petition, prepared by the solicitor of Barber, has been presented to her Majesty on behalf of Barber; the following is an extract:—" That your petitioners, from the causes mentioned, and from the absence of all appeal from criminal verdicts, humbly beseech that your most Gracious Majesty will extend your merciful prerogative towards tlte unfortunate but innocent prisoner, by granting to him a free pardon, and thereby restoring him to that liberty which even his opponents admit, with the exception of this alleged crime, he has used so well for the general benefit and ex tended education of his fellow men. Should your most Gracious Majesty, however, feel that a free pardon would be impolitic, your petitioners humbly and earnestly implore that his dreadful sentence will be greatly mitigated by the exer cise of your most merciful prerogative, thereby affording ad ditional opportunities for the proper and beneficial exercise of his education on behalf of his less enlightened but convicted companions, blending justice with that mercy which your petitioners so confidently anticipate. And your petitioners will ever pray." It is reported Mr. Wilkins has had an in terview with Sir J. Graham relative to Barber, and that the transportation has been postponed for a month.—Observer. MISS CLARA SEYTON'S LECTURE ON COMEDY We perceive that Miss Clara Seyton, who a short time since made a successful debdt at the Princess's Theatre, gives a Lecture on Comedy at the Princess's Concert-room this e v ening. The programme includes notices of all the principal comic writers from the days of Aristophanes—of course the comedies of our own immortal Shakspeare occupy a prominent place. The lecture is to be illustrated by songs and recitations ; and from Miss Clara Seyton's known talents and versatility, we doubt not but the subject will re ceive full justice at her hands.

Yeo," relative. to the validity of a codicil to the will of Mr. Barber, who died in 1839, of the amount of 5,0001. Their Lordships pronounced against the validity of the instrument propounded, and affirmed the judgment of the Court below, with costs. ' The Solicitor-General was heard, on Derosne's patent fur refining sugar; applying for an extension of the term of the patent. Witnesses on the part of the patentee were examined before the Court. Lord Brougham, on the part of their Lordships, granted an extension of the patent for the term of six years. The Court then rose. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. The betting about the two favourites was rendered more exciting than usual by the efforts of the opposing parties to obtain the call. For a long time, this was so near a thing that we should have hesitated to say which had the best of it, and it was not until near the close that the feeling became so decidedly favourable to Ratan that we feel ourselves perfectly justified in returning him first favourite. It will allay the apprehensions of those who stand on the horse when we add that Mr. Crockford, who has been seriously ill for some days past, was an nounced to be much better. Tho Orlando movement turns out to have been a flash iii the pan-7 to 1 taken on Sunday, and 12 to 1 offered yesterday to no purpose.

THE DISCONTINUANCE OF DIVINE SERVICE AT ST. PAUL'S.—On Saturday morning the following notice was placed at the doors of the above cathedral, that " From and after this day (Saturday, the 18th) Divine service will be dis continued (Sundays excepted) until further notice." THE MURDERER CROUCH.—William Crouch, who was found guilty at the last sitting of the Central Criminal Court of murdering h's wife, Elizabeth Frances Crouch, in Marylebone, and sentenced by Mr. Baron Alderson to be hanged, will expiate his crime on the scaffold in front of Newgate, on Monday next, at eight o'clock should the Sheriffs Rot receive any contrary directions previous to that day from the Home Secretary. The wretched man since his conviction has been watched night and day by two turnkeys, and has been repeatedly visited by Messrs. Musgrove and Moon, the Sheriffs, and the chaplain of the gaol, by whom he has been supplied with religious publications, and has evinced his consciousness of the enormity of his offence. Some exertions have been made to obtain a commuta tion of the extreme penalty of the law, but up to yes terday there was nothing known to the Civic authorities to justify the remotest hope that the sentence would not be fully carried into execution. To INVALIDS.—In cases of indigestion, loss of ap petite, and general debility, even where the muscular power is lost, and it is vain to expect relief from medi cine, the highly nutritious essence of turtle cannot be too strongly recommended; it infuses fresh life to the body, and thereby affords nature an opportunity of ex ercising all her powers to overcome the disease. It also makes a tureen of mock turtle not distinguishable from the real, at one-tenth the usual expense; and with game, poultry, and made dishes, it is infinitely more delicious than anything that ever yet appeared on an English table.

De 13arre, many years cook to his late Majesty Louis XVIII., 26, Nassau-street, Middlesex Hospital, and sold by Mrs. Lawton, 8, Rath bone-place, price 4s. 6d., Bs., and 215.; the 51. cases con tain six guinea bottles. [ADVERTISEMENT.] --A WONDERFUL CURE or AN OLD SEA CAPTAIN'S BAD LEG, BY HOLLOWAY'S OINT MENT AND PlLLs.—Captain James, of the brig Amity, lying at Limehouse, was lately cured of a bad leg of fifteen years stansling . , in which there were twenty ul cers. He had previously been laid up at home on crutches for two years. To make the matter worse, he was nearly eaten up with scurvy, which the pills, how ever, soon eradicated from the blood. Soldiers and sailors find these medicines the finest remedy in the world, as they heal all ulcers and wounds, while the pills remove every scorbutic humour and impurity from the blood.—Sold at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand (where advice may be had gratis); and by almost all respectable Chemists throughout the civilised world. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The only drawback upon the brilliancy of the Opera house this season, has been the absence of her Majesty. The subscribers who have been in the habit of beholdinfi our Sovereign could nut but feel the palpable "la • • hitherto presented by the Royal box. The first in terval of mourning being over, her Majesty and Prince Albert attended the theatre on Saturday, and com manded the performance of Zampa. Thelessee naturally took this opportunity of displaying the varied resources of the establishment ; La Gituna and choice aceded from the lively and popular opera of Don Pasqua* *er e added to Herold's chef d'oeuvre and to the imaginative ballet of Alma. In choosing- the opera of Zampa • for performance her Majesty' displayed her well-known • taste and proficiency. This original and beautiful composition, which has enjoyed such immediate and unalloyed success all over Europe, bas in England only been slowly gaining upon the estimation of the public, but we shall now have frequent opportunitie s of hearing again the strains inspired by Herold's re markable genius. Her Majesty and his Royal ,Ilighuess Prince Albert appeared to appreciate the charms of the opera—nothing could be more marked than their ifm,l9" ment of the choruses, the drinking song, the duet be tween Persiani and Corelli, and particularly:that in the last act between Fornasari and the heroine, in which un bounded means of dramatic expression are added to the charm of the music—an opportunity of which Fornasari availed himself with triumphant success. Lablache created the utmost amusement amongst the august tenants of the Royal box by his curious appearance, particularly whet' • in his warlike fit in the second act. We need not 0Y that with such music, and such exertions of the perfor mers, the performance was most warmly received by the audience. It is true that, to the astonishrnent and in dignation of the subscribers, two or three illLeleeose u persons placed beneath the Royal box hissed as the Or' tain descended ; but to means has ever been devised to • exclude from the courtly precincts of the opera those who are as deficient in good breeding as they are in all ear and feeling for music. Her Majesty retired after this as. The scei , e of Don Pasquale followed, and the 11108 t enthusiastic applause greeted the appearance of Gri° upon the stage, and her subsequent efforts to reward be numerous admirers. Cerito's re-appearance in .An • in -which she endured more than one encore, comple.,te Saturday night's very liberal list of entertainments. -1 need scarcely say that the house was crowded beyoll meas ure—at this season it is habitually full—an d ti"e intention of her Majesty to visit the theatre havingheeli rumoured, an overflow of spectators was the immediate consequence. MR. BRAHAM'S CONCERT. in Mr. Braham gave a monster concert at Covent - ger t ,li Theatre last evening. The programme contained a,.",,5„, of no less than thirty-nine different pieces of music. 3"- vocal performers were the Brahams, father and Oa * Staudigl, Madame Dorus Gras, Mrs. Alexander Ne W. ton, Miss Alleyne, and the Misses Williams, w hile th e , solo instrumental performers were Lindley on -the lincello, and Blagrove on the violin. While the qu a ?! tity, therefore, was sufficient to satisfy the most ineru i nate appetite, the quality was such as could not fail gratify the most fastidious tastes. No wonder, t here; • fore, that the house was filled almost immediately a, f te k , the doors were open. The first part consisted e atire y. of sacred music, and the gem of this part was Hatil e ii " " Gentle Airs," beautifully sung by Braham , and ue- ; ciously accompanied by Lindley on the violincello. was delightful to hear these the two last represeoci tires of the old school thus once more coming forwec and fairly distancing all their junior competitor There is a delicious sweetness about Lindley's perfo,_v ance on the violencello, which seems unattainable. Ve any other artist. In the mere trickery of execution may be surpassed ; but in the pureness of his intar, tion, in the richness of his 'melody, in taste and exPi`b"; slot', no one can come near him ; and as for Braham'. o . . stands as he ever has stood, alone—the priac.e of si n g e, In the second part Lindley gave us a delightful c A; certo, played in his own rich flowing style. audience were enraptured into the breathlc silence of delight while listening to the delicien; tones "in linked sweetness long drawn out," et!A p e the conclusion there was a burst of real hearty gently; applause, such as has not been heard within the of a theatre since the good old days when George tfni Third was King." Mr. Blagrove performed a COnce"; on the violin with much taste, and exhibited se, vellous powers of execution. He rerainded,,%_, not unfrequently of poor Kieswelter, and tow:rdi this is, as Mr. Blagrove is well aware, to a i s ti him no small amount of praise. Staudigl wa s enaohicb in Benedict's song, " Rage on thou angry stor m," he sang magnificently, and Braham's own beautiful Oleg " When thy bosom," was delightfully sung bt h iins ice and Madame Dorus Gras. We cannot close this /loto without congratulating Mr. Charles Braham t yle marked improvement which has taken place in his %lot of singing within the last few months ; his voice eetioo, to have acquired not only greater accuracy of int° os • but greater power and greater compass. He stnl T A I sini's bravura, " The trump of fame," las t evening "" manner worthy of the name he bears. - --.-- -- ------- LYCEUM THEATRE. : La, The White Feather is the title of an amusing e which was produced at this theatre last evening, ~_";:r o complete success. The scene is laid in France, " i, • Colonel Preville (Mr. Craven) is about to join a r e lit ment, to which he has been recently appointed , •,,,,; Love, who from the days of Jupiter downwards has„la lighted in disguising his votaries , causes Amy (11''''s Woolgar), the sister of Madame Preville , to assunse t t e , disguise of the Colonel, and accompanies her sister in t ,„. , character of her husband, in order to a s c ertain the:tir, state of the affections of a certain Captain Duval lls F.
