' Her Majesty's Theatre re-opened for the past- Paschal season last evening, with the delightful and intensely Italian opera buffa, L' Elisir d' Amore, and never has this chef d'oeuvre of Donizetti been more strongly cast or more charmingly represented. Madlle. Duprez was the Adina, and had Donizetti composed the part expressly for this young and fascinating prima donna, she could not have been more exactly fitted. She looked and acted the rustic village heiress to the life—pretty, young, arch, naive, Sat twit soft peu espiegle, Madlle. Caroline Duprez was the very Adina of the author, and she warbled the light, brilliant sparkling music, which was exactly suited to the timbre of her voice, in the most exquisite and fascinating manner imaginable, with that facility of execution, flexibility of voice, and perfection of intonation which have already become her distinguish ing characteristics, and have won for her the fame of being one of the most finished, most brilliant, and faultless, as she is one of the youngest of; prime donne. The audience were enthu siastic in their applause, and Madlle. Duprez was called on three times. But the Adina of Madlle. Duprez was not the only great feature of the evening. Lablache made his first appearance for the season as Dulcamara, and from the time the head of the white horse became visible until the great basso had stood at the footlights some five minutes, bowing his ac knowledgments, the applause was enthusiastic and continuous. He is the same Lablache that he has ever been, as fat, as humorous, as rollicking, his voice as magnificent, his fun as unctious, his introduced scraps of English and French as telling and as mirth exciting as ever ; his Dulcamara of last night was one of the richest pieces of Italian comedy ever seen. Calzolari was the Nemorino, and sang the music exquisitely. The "Una furtiva la grirna" has been seldom more deliciously rendered, and, to make the cast perhaps the strongest ever pre sented of this opera, Coletti was the Sergeant Bel core. A selection from Les Metamorphoses followed, in which Carlotta Grisi danced the pas of the rustic coquette and that of the folie so exquisitely as to excite quite a furore. She was called at the conclu sion, act applauded to the echo. The theatre was crowded. The Queen's box was occupied by the Earl and Countess of Morley, the Ladies Parker, Mr. and Mrs. Humphrey Mildmay and party. Amongt the noble and distinguished individuals also honouring the theatre with their presence on this occasion were the following: —His Grace the Duke of Wellington and the Mar chioness of Douro, the Prince Demidoff, his Excel lency the Russian Minister and the Baroness Bru now and party, the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, Marquis of Donegal, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Aboyne, the Earl and Countess Bective, Earl and Countess of Wilton and Lady Elizabeth Egerton and party, Earl Mountchailes, Earl Gifford, Earl of Cardigan, Viscount Dupplin, Lord Ward, Lord Ashburton, Lady Somerset and Miss Somerset, Lady Williamson, Lady Vincent, Lady Ha milton, Lord and Lady Francis Gordon, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Lady Ashworth, Lady Mackenzie and Miss Mackenzie, the Right Hon. the Secretary at War and Mrs. Fox Maule, Hon.

Les Huguenots was performed here last evening, for the first time this season, and Mario made his rentree in the character of Raoul de Nangis ; he, although somewhat hoarse, sang and acted with great spirit, displaying a warmth, and energy, and pas sion of which we had before scarcely thought him ca pable. The great duet between Raoul and Valantine has been never more superbly given than it was last evening by Mario and Grisi ; the latter of whom was in excellent voice, and threw her whole soul into the part. Angri was to have performed the part of the page, Urbane, but was unable to ap pear in consequence of an attack of influenza. Bertrandi, from the Italian Opera, Berlin, undertook the part at a few hours notice, and ac quitted herself most creditably. The stern old Lutheran Marcelle was sublimely (that is the only appropriate word) rendered by Formes ; and Polonini gave a careful version of the part of St. Brie, hereto fore acted by Tamburini. The choruses were splendidly given, and the Blessing of the Poignards was, of course, encored. The Queen's box was occupied by the Marchioness of Waterford and Lady Stuart de Rothesay, Viscount and Viscountess Canning and party. Among the company honouring the theatre with their presence we remarked the Marchioness of Ailesbury, the Marchesa Brancaleoni and Mdlle. Brancaleoni, the Earl Granville, the Countess of Malmesbury, the Earl Cowper, the Earl Bruce, the Marchioness of West. month and Miss Dawson, Viscount and Lady Elizabeth Lascellcs, Viscount Mandeville, Viscountess Maidstone and Lady Adelaide Paget and Lady Mary Capel, Lady Wallscourt and the Hon.

Mr. Grattan Cooke's benefit took place at the above rooms on Monday evening, and it must have been gratifying to him to have seen the num bers of friends who rallied round him on the occasion. The per formance was under the patronage of the officers of the 2d Regiment of Life Guards, and their splendid band, under the direction of Mr. Cooke, who on the occasion donned their uniform, performed several pieces of music, much to the delectation of the audi ence. We scarcely knew Mr. Cooke when he made his appearance with his " blushing honours thick upon him," and it is but justice to him to say that in his military attire he looks the beau ideal or a man of war, and as if he had been such "from his youth up." The bill of fare was very attractive. Mr. Richardson played a couple of solos on the flute with the greatest brilliancy, and his usual unapproach able excellence;and if old Paganini were alive we can fancy with what delight he would have listened to the musician-like treatment which his " Carnival de Venise" received at the fair hands of Miss Collins. Her faultless and marvellous execution quite took the audience by storm, and she was honoured with an enthusiastic encore. To that, however, we imagine she has by this time become quite accustomed, for she receives the like honour on every night of the Apollonicon Concerts. The Distin family performed on the sax-horns, and a young lady, Miss Marriot O'Connor, made her debut with the greatest success. A glee, in which she and the Distins took part, " Down in a flowery vale," was quite a gem, and was sung with most admirable taste and precision. On the whole, the concert passed off in capital style, and Mr. Cooke deserves the thanks of the public for the satisfactory manner in which he catered for their amusement. ARBITRATION IN THE CASE OF MESSRS. MIINDAY 7 THE ORIGINAL CONTRACTORS FOR THE BUILDING.-Mr. Robert Stephenson, the sole arbitrator in this case, held a second meeting at the Palace of Westminster this day, when Mr. Whishaw was examined at considerable length on the part of the contractors. - - - THE EXPOSITION. — When the Exposition was first proposed, a general notion prevailed that none but positively new inventions were admissible. As the subject, however, became better understood, it was ascertained that it was really to be a representation of the best products of art and manufactures. Even now there can be no doubt but that many of our warehousemen and shopkeepers are disposing of textile fabrics of the very class and character as will be at the Exposition. We learn, for instance, that the Messrs. Jay, of Regent - street , d urin g their recent visit to Paris, were fo r tunate enough to obtain for, their mourning establishment four mantles of the exact moael and make as those that will be exposed on the Ist of May in the Crystal Palace; the only difference being that the latter are in delicate, rich, and attractive colours, whereas those of Messrs. Jay are in black and greys suited to their particular trade. THE GREAT BELL AT NOTRE DAME.—The large bell of the Cathedral of Notre Dame was rung on .

THREE O'CLOCK. Freshfield 345 Wire ... ••• 237 The number of registered electors is rather more than 1,000. About five o'clock the friends of the opposing candi dates assembled in the balcony of the Assembly Rooms to hear the official declaration of the poll by the Mayor. The market-place at this time exhibited a large assem blage of Blue " roughs," by whom Mr. Freshfield and his friends were hustled and ill-used in crossing the • market-place from the Protectionist head-quarters, the Peacock Inn. The MAYOR (Mr. J. Rawson) having examined the poll•books, proclaimed the numbers at the final close of the poll to be— For Mr. Freshfield... ... 368 For Mr. Wire ... 251 Majority ... ...--117 His Worship accordingly declared Mr. J. H. Freshfield to bo duly elected. Mr. FREsHFIELD presented himself to the electors, and was proceeding to thank them for the honour con ferred upon him, when a volley of stones, potatoes, and rotten eggs was discharged at the Hon. Member and his friends by the mob below, who had come prepared to indicate by these tokens their dioseati3faction with the result of the election. One of these missiles, said to be a piece of a broken ginger beer bottle, which was aimed at an obnoxious Protectionist, struck Mr. Wire's proposer (Mr. Clarke) a severe blow near the eye; the wound bled most profusely for a considerable time. The garments of several gentlemen were bespat tered by the eggs, and their hats also sustained some damage from the force with which the stones and pota toes were thrown. Fortunately the windows of the As sembly-rooms had been boarded over, or they would have been all broken. Mr. Freshfield endeavoured for some time to ward off with his hat the misiles aimed at him, hut, the fire becoming too hot, the Hon. Member, accompanied by the Mayor, was compelled to leave the balcony, and *Ake refuge in the Council-chamber. The dispc,sition of the mob was so evidently mis chievous as to threaten personal injury to Mr. Fresh field, who eves persuaded by his Worship to remain in the Assembly-rooms until they should disperse. Two or three diversions were now attempted by the be sieged, hut with little success. The "Blue band of music was sent for, who marched away with great pomp and circumstance, bearing Mr. Wire's banners before them. But the " Blue" gentry, who seemed to be a cross between canal boatmen and railway " navviess" re fused to follow. Then a rumour arrived that a barrel of beer had been opened at the other end of the town. Even this ruse failed. Mr. CLARKE, with bandaged eye, presented himself in the balcony, and addressed the assemblage. Subse quently, Mr. G. Howe, a local reporter and lecturer of some influence among the lower classes, entreated the " roughs" to disperse quietly now the election was over. The only answer he received was an ominous cry of "Freshfield! Freshfield I" which so clearly evinced what tae mob were waiting for that the Mayor collected the local police, and, proceeding to the police-office in the market-place, read the Riot Act. When our reporter left Boston (by the express-train at 7 o'clock) no breach of the peace nad occurred save that above chronicled. But the new Protectionist Member was still closely in vested in the Assembly-room, from the windows of which the hungry electioneerers could see the preparations made, and the table set out, at the Peacock Inn, over the way, for a sumptuous banquet to celebrate the return of the successful candidate. Now and then some famished 'enisei), who complained of having had no thing to e,c,t since an early breakfast at 7 o'clock A H., suffered his hunger to prevail over his prudence so far a: to counsel his friends to fight their way across the market-place, but a glance at the angry expression which glared in the eyes of the Blue " roughs" below quickly repressed the rash design. Occasionally, too, messages arrived which only too clearly conveyed the despair of the cook at the Peacock, and the excellence of the repast which awaited the connives. Whether this state of be leaguerment continued, as was probable, until the shades of night enabled the besieged to gain the friendly shelter of their hotel, we are unable to say, the Great Northern Railway being at present destitute of the elec tric telegraph. It is to be hoped, however, that nothing worse happened after the express train left than the spoiling of a good dinner, and that the apprehensions which were entertained of a riot and disturbance were I not realized. THE MONSTER TABLE-CLOTH FOR SOYER'S STat rosin:A.—This extraordinary specimen of English manufac ture arrived from Barnsley on Monday night last. Its length is 307 feet, breadth 8 feet, weight two cwt., and cost upwards of 50/. It is to be exhibited on Monday next, on the ban quetting table in the Encampment of All Nations. ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE NATIONAL EXIIIBITION.—On Monday a workman was engaged, with several others, on the roof, regulating the canvas that is to cover the glass, when his foot slipping a little he lost his equilibrium and fell backwards upon the glass roof, and the weight of his body forcing in the framework, the unfortu tunate man jell upon the floor with such violence as to break several of his limbs. He was immediately picked up, but life was found to be quite extinct. The deceased was a very sober and steady man. This is the third fatal accident that has occurred at the Crystal Palace.

CORK ELECTION.—The election for Cork city is fixed for to-morrow. There will be no opposition to the return of Mr. Sergeant Murphy. Since his arrival in Cork, on Wednesday last, the learned gentleman has been suffer ing from an attack of bronchitis; and, so painful has been the attack, that it is probable he may not be able to address the electors on Wednesday—certainly not at any length. Mit. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, M.P., AND TIIE TENANT LEAGUE.—A correspondence has taken place between Mr. S. Crawford and the members of the Tenant-League on the subject of a Landlord and Tenant Bill, in which the Honourable Member for Rochdale, after expressing his intention of retiring from Parliament on the next dissolution, says that his wish to retire is, in some measure, caused by a belief that, differing as he does on certain important points from the principles laid down by the League, "his presence in Parliament would be rather an injury than a benefit to the cause in the form that the League would wish to uphold it." ARRIVALS OF FOREIGN GRAlN.—Thirty-five vessels laden with foreign grain have arrived in Cork harbour —twenty-seven on Saturday and eight on Sunday. DINNER TO MR. FAGAN, LATE M.P.

Bass and Scholefield, Ellis, Horsman, and a long list of M.P.s with whom, during his career in Parliament, Mr. Fagan cordially co-operated in their efforts for political and financial reform. The document, however, makes no allusion to political subjects, and is confined to the ex pression of the Members' approbation of Mr. Fagan's consistent and honourable conduct, and courteous de portment' during the time he sat in Parliament. We understand Mr. Fagan has accepted the invitation, and intends on the re-assembling of Parliament, to go over to London to receive this honourable tribute of his late colleagues' regard."

The Breslaw Gazette says that the police of Vienna have called on the chiefs of manufacturing establish ments in that city, to communicate a list of all their workmen, to indicate the nation to which they be long, their general conduct, whether they are in clined to drink or play, and their political opinions. Several persons have, it is said,, refused to give this information. The Cologne Gazette says that, in its last note to the Prussian Government, the Cabinet of Vienna again rejects all idea of a division of the Executive Govern ment, and consents to restore the old Diet, subject, however, to important reforms in the manner of voting in the plenum and federal council, to the establish ment of a customs union between Austria and Ger many, and to a re-organization of the public instruc tion and the military system. SWEDEN. STOCKHOLM, APRIL 17.—The Comntttee of the Storthing has pronounced against the Government proposal, which empowers the Ministers, Councillors of State, and the Governor to take part in the public or secret sittings of the two Chambers. They adopted another proposition, which, while it altogether ex cludes the Governor from this privilege, permits the Ministers and Councillors of State to attend the secret sittings with the authorisation of the Chamber.— Prussian Stoats Anzeiger, April 19. EXTENSIVE DEFALCATION AT WIN D SOR. (From the Wi n d sor E x press.) Happily for the well-being of the royal borough, we are not often call e d upon t o recor d an y s tartling circumstance in connexion with it s domestic history, but an event has just occurred, of so unexpected and unparalleled a character, and b y w hi c h t h e i n t eres ts of so many parties have been aff ec t e d, th a t w e feel bound to give the particulars, so far as they have as yet transpired, every publicity. For many years past Mr. Andrews has been a surgeon, en j oy i ng a mos t extensive and lucrative practice in partnership with Mr. Brown, of Sheet-street. Being unmar r i e d, M r . Andrews occupied apartments in the house of his partner, and, to judge by his constant appearance i n public, either walking or driving about the town and neighbourhood, no man could have been more exemplary in the performance of his professional duties. Last week Mr. Andrews suddenly disappeared, and has not since been seen in Windsor; nor was the cause of his sudden disappearance long a secret, for it turn . sout, on inquiry, th a t hi s li a bilities in this town and neigh bourhood approach the enormous sum of 60,0001., entirely for borrowed money. The sufferers are parties moving in almost every rank of respectab le society, from titled aristocracy to the humble trades man, and, we regret to say, no small number of the latter. For some time past it would seem to have been the practice o f M r . A n d rews t o ascertain the pecuniary means of his patients, and wherever he found them labouring under a plethora of ready cash, be appears to have relieved them effec tually, by borrowi ng th e w h o l e o f it e ith er on his own personal security, or on the security of his friends; ladies, too, have b een l a id un d er contribu tion to a large amount. A wealthy relative, it is rumoured, has been eased of something like 10,0001. The amount due to his partner, for money lent and liabilities, is said to exceed 20,0001. At first sight the affair would seem incredible, and it would have been impossible, had the creditors of Mr. Andrews used the common precautions which prudence alone would sug gest. They appear generally to have been tempted by the dangerous bait of a high rate of interest-15 per cent. has been named—and each lender playing the part of " Every man his own lawyer ;" the se cret of the fugitive's liabilities was kept intact up to the moment when he took his departure. The imme diate cause of that departure has been variously stated. It has been said that he had occasion for a large sum of money to meet payments then due—that suspicion had been cast upun certain signatures—and it is quite certain that on the Sunday previous to his de parture he tried unsuccessfully to borrow the trifling sum of 9,0001. of more than one person with whom he had had no previous monetary transactions. What steps the creditors will take, how his wealthy connexions will act, and the precise nature of the se curities held, we have not yet been able to learn, but the whole truth will be known quite soon enough, we fear, for the parties most interested. It does not ap pear that Mr. Andrews has aggrandised himself by these transactions, for we bear that he borrowed something like 301. to enable him to leave the town ; and there seems to be no certain clue as to bow he has disposed of the enormous sum of money, which, in addition to a handsome income from his profession, he must have been receiving for years past. One re port points to mining speculations, and experience tells us that it would be no difficult task to sink 60,0001. in that way ; then we are told that the delin quent paid nocturnal visits to the metropolis, and was a regular attendant at the West-end gambling houses. We do not vouch for the truth of either of these reports, but merely give them as they reach us. The moat remarkable part of the story, however, re mains to be told. The steady, sedate, and outwardly pious Mr. Andrews has been enacting the gay Lothario on the most extensive scale. We are almost afraid to say how many living evidences of his prowess, we have heard, are now quartered in this locality. This, too, was a profound secret to all but the parties con cerned up to the time of his departure. And here, again, we are struck with astonishment at his suc cess ; prematurely old in his appearance, so near sighted as to wear spectacles, bald-headed, and scarcely a tooth in his mouth, as he rolled by in his rumbling phaeton, enveloped in his cloak, be looked. like anything rather than a " lady-killer." It will be seen by a notice in another column that the partner ship between Messrs. Brown and Andrews has been dissolved. Ltltt 4.a i Won NEWMARKET RACES. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

The amount of transactions generally, however, has been equal to an average of the weekly market held on this day, the buyers appearing to consider the prices now current as reasonable. In the goods market there was a tolerable inquiry in the earlier part of the day; and 39-inch shirtings, required for India, were sought after by the shipping houses; but when the telegraph notice declared a ruling flatness in the Liverpool market the effect was immediately apparent. A remarkable proof of the little confidence which i s enterta i ne d i n th e ac counts from America is given in the fact, that though cotton is reported higher at New Yo r k, no e ff ect was observa bl e either here or in Liverpool which could be traced as a direct consequence of that fact. Cotton was up in America 1 4 d. per lb., and 20,000 bales were sold at New York within three days of the sailing of the Canada, a circumstance which seems to be justly deemed suspicious. AN EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT GLOUCESTER.- Some of the good citizens of Gloucester, perambulating the docks on Good Friday morning, were alarmed by a terrible noise on board a Greek ship lying in the middle of the basin. The captain and others appeared to have one of the crew amongst them, around whose neck a rope was attached, and before any interference could be offered the body was run up to the yard-arm, and after a few apparent struggles, so far as the victim was concerned, all was still. The noise had hardly subsided, when a similar scene appeared to be going forward on board another Greek vessel lying alongside the first-mentioned, the body in this case - being lowered over the side into the water, and then, as if the murderous wretches had changed their intentions, it was hauled on deck— severely belaboured amidst shouts and execrations, and speedily hauled up to the yard-arm. The excitement on seeing two bodies dangling high in the air was most intense ; some of the crowd assembled were calling out for the police, and two or three, more courageous than the rest, got on board one of the ships to demand an explanation, and with the determination to take the culprit into custody. The ex planation was duly given, and a hearty and general laugh was the result. The seamen were only performing a custom of the Greek Church, usual on Good Friday, by stuffing an effigy with straw, with a bag in its right hand, to represent Judas Iscariot, and hanging it, expressive of their abhor rence of the conduct of that worthy in betraying our Saviour. The next morning the effigies were hauled down, and treated with great indignity, amidst renewed shouts and the dis- I charge of muskets. THE SEX OF JOHN SAllTEL — Domestic critics were last week smitten with wonderment that the Govern ment should require them to state, in their census papers, whether John Smith or Mary Jone was a male or a female. But we have known freaky parents to give the Christian names of men to their daughters, and rice versa ; and the Sheffield Times told us, o nly last Saturday, of an Irishman who got his child called Peter before he discovered it to be a girl.— Gateshead Observer. GLASGOW, APRIL 19.—Cotton —In cotton wool we have had another very dull week, and prices have receded from V s d. to J-Ad. per lb. Middling Orleans barely realises 71 1 0, per lb. Goods and yarns partake of the general de pression, and prices continue to decline. Dealers complain generally of the dulness in the home trade, or at least of the difficulty of doing business with a profit. Several establishments are lessening the amount of their produc tion, and in the Paisley district upwards of 1,200 weavers have been thrown out of employment during the last fe weeks. Pig iron—The market for pig-iron has been less animated this week, and prices ar e scarcely maintained. Sales have been made at 40s. 6d., cash, and the current value is from 40s. 6d. to 41s. per ton, free on board. The shipment from the beginning of the year till the 12th current have been 137,374 tons, against 86,632 tons for the same period last year—showing an increase of shipments of 50,742 tons. At the close of 1850 the stock in Glasgow was estimated at 230,000 tons; it is now estimated at 203,868 tons. - - Virtue is not so versatile in its nature as to be im practicable in any possible condition of human Cook's Journal. ESCAPE OF CONVICTS FROM DARTMOOR PRISON.-- Two of the convicts, named John Cotton and John Jones, escaped from the prison on Tuesday. Information was re ceived on Thursday that they had committed a highway robbery near the Rev. H. Strangway's, on the road to Tiver ton, by plundering a labourer in the employ of Mr: Rowe, of Vir he possessed, together with his smock-frock and jacket, for which they gave him their convict jackets, on which are the letters "D.

ITALY. The Tyrol Messenger states that public tranquillity had been disturbed in Como in consequence of an attempt made by a number of individuals to prevent others from smoking. The riot, however, was promptly suppressed. Several persons belonging to distinguished families were arrested, and a heavy contribution was levied on the town. A letter from Mantua of the 10th inst. mentions that the Marquis Gallazo di Bsgno having lately demanded a passport for London, the authorities de. dined acceding to his request, because, having lately pleaded poverty to avoid paying his share of the voluntary loan, he could not have the means of per forming a journey to London. The I?isorgimento, of the 17th inst., quotes a letter from Rome of the 13th, stating that the political and military league between Rome, Naples, Tuscany, Parma, and Modena, continued to be much talked of in that capital. The military chief of the league, it says =. _ . Will naturally be the King of Naples, who will have under his immediate orders the Duke of Parma. The Pope will be the political chief. It is believed that France is most anxious for the conclusion of the pro jected alliance, as a means of putting a period to the French and Austrian occupation. But how is the treaty to be executed? When are the armies of the Duke of Parma and the Grand Duke of Tuscany ? Are the Neapolitans to occupy Tuscany and the Roman domi nions ?" BOSNIA. Accounts from Bosnia to the Bth, in the Piednzon tese Gazette, state that, after the defeat of the insur gents at Kozarak, Omer Pacha proceeded to Pridor, where he still was at that date. The city of Boujaluka has had to pay a contribution of 1,000 purses (120,000 fr.), and that of Gradisca 250. Skanderbeg has taken the direction of Bihac with 3,500 Turkish soldiers, in order to at tack Ali Kedish, who has rallied there with a few thousand insurgents, the remnants of those who were beaten at Kozarak. In Servia, Avram Petronevitk, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the principality, has resigned, in consequence of the Porte having required Servia to place 12,000 men at the disposal of the Sultan, to act against Bosnia. Prince Alexander Karagjorgjevich has left his residence of Belgrade for that of Kragujevak, since the application of the Porte ; a measure considered by some as a sort of flight. KOSSUTH AND HIS COMPANIONS. The Prussian Staats Anzei ger of the 19th says : " The affair of the refugees of Kutaya may be con sidered as good as settled. The ambassadors of France and England had received positive instructions from their respective Governments, in consequence of which they have sent a joint note to the Porte, contesting the right of that power to detain the refugees as prisoners, and calling upon it to renounce the convention which it has no right to enforce, and of which it bears the entire expense. The Porte has accordingly decided upon terminating this affair, and Cherif Effendi has received orders to leave Vienna unless Prince Schwartzenberg shall accede to the demand of Turkey. The Govern ment has decided upon concluding a loan with Holland." BANQUET AT THE MANSION-HOUSE. On Monday evening the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress gave a splendid Easter entertainment at the Mansion-house. The Egyptian-hall was superbly deco rated and illuminated, and the company, which num bered about 400 persons, included several Foreign Minis ters and their ladies, Members of Parliament, Aldermen, and Common Councilmen, and many of our most excel lent fellow-citizens. The baud of the Coldstream Guards were in attendance, and played a variety of po pular airs during dinner. Mr. Harper acted as trumpeter, and Mr. Harker discharged the duties of toast-master with his usual efficiency. On the removal of the cloth grace was given with great effect by the following vocalists :—The Misses Pyne, Mr. Lockey, Mr. Francis, Mr. Machin, and Mr. J. L. Hatton, who presided at the pianoforte. Nothing could have been more judicious than Mr. Lockey's se lection of vocal music, especially those charming ballads in which Miss Louisa Pyne so greatly distinguished herself.
