CORN EXCHANGE.-(MONDAY.) The supplies of Wheat on sale in the leading country markets held on Saturday were seasonably good, and of full average qqality. The demand for all kinds ruled inactive, at about stationary prices. Spring Corn moved off freely, at full rates of currency. No change took place in Flour. In the Baltic and Black iFea port, several somewhat large purchases of Wheat have been made on English account. The Dutch, French, and Belgian markets have ruled very fair for most articles, at fully previous rates. The supplies cf Barley, Oats, Beans, and Peas appf ar to be reduced to a narrow com pass. Up to our market last week the arrivals of Eng lish Grain and Flour were small. Frcm abroad we re ceived 20,155 quarters of Wheat, 11,159 ditto of Barley, 12,363 ditto of Oa's, 312 ditto of Beans, 471 ditto of Peas, 29 ditto ef Tares, 46 ditto of Linseed, 165 ditto of Rapesecel, 1,295 ditto of sundry seeds, 4,556 sacks and 2 ; 294 barrels of Flour. _ _ . Nearly the whole of the supply cf English Wheat re celved fresh up to this me:fling's ae.rleet land car riage, and which exceeded 700 quarters, was of the present year's growth, and in much better condition than had Let , n t xp.ected, some of the parcels weighing 63 to 64 lbs. per bushel—white qualities sold et from 44s to 49 ~ and red ditto 42a to 46s per quarter. Genet ally speaking, the demand ler all kinds of Wheat of home prcduce sees in a eery sluggish state, at prices barely equal to those obtained on Mondey !ast, and at which a clearance was wi‘h difficulty' effected. The show of old Wheat was tenting; yet the _mount c f business doing in it was small, owing chiefly to the large qurn ities of French Flour pressing for sale, and the prospect of large importations during the present week. Several offers reached us to ship W heats from the east coast, but very few tivn.3actions took place•. Notwithstanding that the import of foreign Wheat last week was acme what extensive, fine samples v ore held firmly, at full rates of currency. In the middling and inferior hinds comparatively little business was doing, at barely stationary prices. Nut a sample of English Barley was brought forward, but the show of foreign was tolerably good. All kinds, especially grinding samples, moved oft freely, and the quotations were well supported in every instance. With Malt we were scantily supplied. There was more inquiry for that article at lull prices; indeed, Ware parcels ware held for more money. The quantity of Oats brought forward was smaller than fee. some weeks past. The trade was decidedly firm, at full quotations. The few parcels of Beans on show were mostly c'eared off at late rates. New white Peas produced 283 to 30s per quarter. All old qualities were quite as dear. In Indian Corn and Meal, next to nothing doing, either lauded or.afloat. We have no change to notice in Flour, in which a full average amount 'of business was doing. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Although several losses have been sustained at sea, 61 Beasts, 408 Sheep, and 39 Limbs having been lost on passage from hotterdsna, tho imports of foreign stock into London, since our last returns were mad«. up, have been again very extensive, considering the low range of prices here, and which it was fully expected, some time since, would have had the effect of checking the arrivals, especially as most kinds cf meat are rela tively dearer in the Dutch markets than herr. We un derstand that the quantity of stock in Holland ready for export is decidedly larger than last year; hence we see no prospect of any material falling off in the foreign supplies, notwithstanding that the importations from France and Spain have almost %holly ceased. The Dutch Sheep, Lambs, and Calves are arriving in better condition, particularly the farmer. The total importltion last week amounted to 7,212 head. During the same period in 1849 we received 4,987; in 1848, 5,127; and, in 1847, 5,003 head. The supply was derived as under : IMPORTS INTO LONDON IN THE PAST WEEK. From Beasts. Sheep. Lambs. Calves.

From Ireland 68 Cows have come to hand for our market by sea. Large supplies of foreign stock were brought forward in to-day's market. All kinds moved off alowly, and prices were not supported. From our northern grazing districts, the arrivals of Beasts fresh up this morning were seasonably extensive as to number, but very defi cient in quality. The few prime Scots, &e., offering, commanded a steady sale, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last , in a few instances the highest figure for Beef beiag 4s, though the general top quota tion was 3s 10d per Bibs. All other bret , _ds were in very moderate request, but we have no change to notice in their value. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, &c., we received 2,800 Short-horns; from other parts of England 300 of various breeds; and from Scotland 68 horned and polled Scots per railway. The remainder of the supply was derived from abroad and the neighbourhood of the metropo lis. We were well supplied with both English and Foreign Sheep, especially the former. There was less activity in the demand fur that description of stock than on this day se'nnight, and to effect a clearance the salesmen were compelled to accept of rather easier terms. The general top price of Mutton was 4s per Blbs, although a few very superior old Downs realised 4s 2d per Sibs. Some of the Ualf-breds were worth nearly as much money as the general run of Downs. Lambs were in full average supply , a nd sluggish request, on somewhat easier terms—the top figure beicg 4s 61 per 81bs. Although the supply of Calves was extensive, the Veal trade raled firm, at fully Friday's currencies. We had a better inquiry for Pigs, at prices quite equal to those of last week, Ink the offal.

[ 4 :.S RAILWAY. STRIKE OF THE ENG. NE-DRIVERS. The trains that have been discontinued in consequence of the strike of the engine-drivers and firemen are to be placed upon the line again to-day, and the Eastern Counties traffic will be worked precisely as it was hef ore the unfortnete dispute between Mr. Gooch and the men. It is to be hoped that the result of the "strike" upon the Eastern Counties Retitle ay will ba a lesson to the drivers and firemen throughout the kingdom Seven days since between 80 and 90 engine-drivers were receiving good wages, and the same number of firemen an ave rage pay of 4s. per day. Some fines having, as they state, been lsvied upon them in an arbitrary manner, they, either led away by evil counsel, or in the presumption of their own fancied power to coerce their employers, demand the dismissal of their superintendent, as a con dition of their continuing to work the traffic. So con fident were they of their ability to "shut up the line," that the formality of an appeal to the directors against Mr. Gooch's alleged te rannical conduct Ras not gone through, and it was conceived that they had simply to send in their printed notices in a lump, and the dismissal of a locomotive engineer of irreproachable private character, c f great experience and high staading in his profession, would follow instanter and as a matter cf course. The experience of a week has shown them what a clever and de t rmined locomotive superintendent can, when suppor ed by his directors, do to check asystem of dictation which, it submitted to, wou'd eventually prove as injurious to the men as it is intolerable to the masters. Not a single old engine-driver or fireman will be taken into the ser vice of the company; and we believe there is not the re motest chance of any one of them obtaining employ ment upon any line in England. T e men can scarcely expect that combination, in its most offensive spirit on their par►, should ❑ot beget precautionary measures on the part of the carious railway companies, who may ph ad the recent outrageous attempt at dictation, and the presumed concomitant in=ubordinatJ disposition of the mete, as a reason for refusing to employ them. With no " trade" to fall back upon, the majority of the old drivers must either emigrate at the expense of the ge neral,b ely, or fall into the class of labourers. From the receipt of 21. 10. i. per week they will descend at once to that t f 15s. or 183., and with the uncomfcr.able re fl,..ction that the " change for the worse " has been the consequence of their own fully. We hear that some of those evil spirits," who live up3n or delight in combinations and conspiracies, are urging the policy of a general strike among the engine drivers and firemen of the country, in order to compel the Eastern Counties Company to take back the old men. We trust and believe that the madmen who may advise such a course will meet with the treatment they deserve.— Al ning Herald. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sis,--The Mr. I.ll.'Cullough mentioned i n thi s morning's papers as the chairman of a meeting of the late engine-drivers and firemen of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, held at Stratford on Saturday last, never was in the service of that com pany, either as an engine -driver or in any other c spacity.

This regatta took place on the 19th instant, with a programme nearly sufficient for two days' sport, viz : TWO sailing matches, two sculling matches in he a•s, two four-oared matches in heats, and an amateur scuilieg match. The first was— A sailing match, by cutter-rigged boats not exceeding 28 feet; the prize, a baawiful silver tankard of the value of 15 guineas ; time allowed for length, 15 seconds per foot. The course sailed fur both sailing matches Ras from stakes in the New Cut up to a buoy placed c PPe site the first fixed railway- bridge, down to a buoy in Whittingham Lower Reach, four rounds, makieg a distance altogether of about ten miles, finishing at the stakes from which they started. Fire were entered, viz : Wallace, 19 feet, Burroughes, Et(l,—Norwich Eliza, 16 feet, Morton, Esq.—Ayisham. Venus, 19 feet, R. Francis, Esq.—Eleccles. Long-looked-for, 16 feet, J. Bly, Esq.—Yarmouth. Tantivy, 19 feet, 11. Morgan, Esq.—Norwich. The starting gun WAS fired about half-pest 12 P.M. Eliza made a capital start, and was nearly up to Wal lace before she got off the mud, to which she laid too close; Venus fullowed well up, while Long-looked-for and Tantivy paired off behind the others. Shortly, how ever, Tantivy gained upon her companion, and, after tiling three or four times to pass her (it was blow ing half a gale of wind from west by north, and the boats were beating up), she ran her bowsprit through the Long looked-tor's quarter, carrying away washboards and letting in daylight where it was not welcome. This put her entirely out of the match, and delayed the Tan tivy about a couple of minutes. In the first round the little Eliza stuck to-her rivals, Wallace and Venus, but their superior weight and canvas soon told upon them, m and after a very exciting match Wallace came in the winner by three minutes and a half, Venus second, Tantivy only five secs. after her. Next followed the amateu r scu lli ng race , w hi c h exc i te d a gnat deal of interest, as a good race was expected to take place between Mr. Diver, the Yarmouth champion, and Mr. Cater, of Queen's College, Cambridge, a gentle man hitherto unknown on the Norwich waters. Mr. Diver, we are sorry to say, did nct contend for the prize, which was a massive silver cigar-case, elaborately embossed, and but three gentlemen came to tt e post. The course was about a mile-and-a-half in length from the Norfolk Railway, Swing-bridge, to King's Meadows. The boats started behind each other at intervals of about forty yards.—Mr. P. Palmer, Mr. F. Foster, Mr. W. E, Cater last. The race, however , was all one way, for at the bottom of the Now Cut Mr. Cater, having pas se d both his opponents, went ahead and won with e ase, by thirty by hi yo rfro.rty Logan,yards.of C Mr. Winter The next Sailing Match wa s by boa's not ex cee di ng 16 feet, rigged with latte en foresail and mizen ; prize pulled in a boat silver cup, value 8 guicea s. About ten minutes before a ore four the following started: — Marie, 16 feet, L. Gar'and, Erep—Norwich. Lotos, 16 feet, J. E. Webster, Esq.—Bcndes. Bovine, 16 feet, J. Sapey, Esq.—Norwich, Leander, 16 feet, R Chalker,R,q--Bneva, Astiphalia, 16 feet, W. C rowe, Esq —eze,;l4'ng. Shortly alter starting Leander ca rried away her nfzen-haulyard, which p ut her out of the match; Lotos took the lead, and was followed by Aetiphalia, which had a very bad start, and must hive lost nearly 60 ards. After a sharply-contested match Lotos won by about a lergth. for a purse of 6/. ; 4/. to the , first, 21. to the second. A Four-cared Matcb, in boa's not exceeding 25ft, Three entered, viz.:—J. Britches Amy's Who knows (a new boat), and J. Britceer s Chance.

The accounts of the Bergal presidency which we on Friday ahstrcctcd compose fully two-thirds of the ahLle territorial accounts (f the Eust India Company, the re mainder being divided in unequal propot ticns between the financial statements of Madras and Bombay. The net revenues of Bengal, including those of the north western trovinces, amounted, it will be remembered, to about 12 millions sterling, more or kes, and the charges thereupon to about 11 millions, more or less, leaving a surplus of somewhat more or less than a million, as the case might be. In the presidency of Madras the total net revenues are less by two-thirds than those of Bengal, being under the sum of four millions sterling, though they exhibit a small but steady rate of increase for the last four years. OF the gross amount fully three-fourths are contributed by the land revenue, a hich even exceeds that derived from Bengal Trop(r, being somewhat above three and a half milli( as rtcrling. Opium does not figure among tho sources of revenue in Madre-, but the p ivileged sales of tobacco and salt produce yearly .t least half a mi:lion. Tho next considerable item is that furnished by the subsidies, which are drawn tnnuall) from Mysore, Travancore, and Cochin, to the amount of some 340,000/. On the other hand, the Nabob of the Carnatie, the Raja of Tanjore, the Mysore p r imes, and other stipendiaries, (flaw upwards of half a million yearly from the treasury of Fort Sr. George, and certain obligations consequent on the insolvency of one of these dignitaric s aro represented by charges amount ing to 40,000/. more. The reader is not likely to have forgotten that we are creditors to a considerable extent of the Court of Hyderab .d. The assets of the lfadras presidency thus qaivecally constituted are brought to bock under the head " interest of d:bt due by the Nizona's Government," and, including otta r similar items, amount for the past year to more than 30,000/.; but whether this entry refers to sums actually rc alizA, or only to surAsins ble claims, we cannot say. On the whole amount the gross rev, nues of this presidency slightly exceed fi,e millions, from which about 570.000/. is subtracted for assignments and allowances, and 650,000/. for the costs of collection,l:aving the net total such as we have specified above. Comparing M idras wih Bengal, wo observe that the costs of collection are considerably smaller in the former presidency, where five nailiens are realized at a charge of 650,0001, while in Bengal little short of two millions are consumed in col lecting less than ten. The subsidies received by the M. Government exceed those o! Bengal by 50 per cent., but, on the other hand, its obligations in the shape of pensions and assignments are more than double. Turning now to the expenditure of the presidency, we find that the civil and political charges are reckoned at 380,0001., little more than one-third of the sum alloyed to the same purposes in Bengal; the _judicial and police establishments abscrb some 340,0001., about half Ito Bengal charge; vthile the army is maintained at a cost of two and a half millions, being a'so exactly half the expenditure of the superior pr , sidency on this important head. We have brought a few of these charges into contrast with each other, tat it must be borne in mind that the political liabilities of the se veral presidencies are so difiamt that it would be alto gether unfair to institute an unconditional comparison between their respective expense;. Madras is as peace ful and untroubled as Yorkshire, while, not to mention the incidental obligations cf . the seat of government, hostilities have recently pressel with unremitting ur gency upon Bengal. Still there is, doubtless, something attributable to what may be termed the national cha racters of the two presidencie s. As a general result of the accounta we find that while the income of the Ma dras Government is steadily increasing, its charges are diminishing with equal regularity, so that every yesr brings a considerable augmentation to the surplus. In 1845 6 this was about 65,000/4 in 1846 7, nearly 200,000/.; in 1847 8, above 270,0001 ; and last yt a-, upwards or 460,0001. Up to this point, therefore, we have a total surplus income of something like 1,300,000/. upon the whole of India, exclusive of Bombay. The Bombay revenues amount, in the gross, to about 3,800,0001., composed cf contributions similar to those described in the accounts of Madras and Bengal. The land-rents furnish, as before, the bulk of the sum—that is to say, some 2,250,000 1 . Opium again re-appears es a productive commodity, and yields more than half a million annually. The salt duties are less considerable, and the subsidies enjoyed by the presidency consist of no more than 20,000/. cantribu!ed by tt:e Government cf Cutch. Per contra, the e x-Peishwa of the Mahrattas and his Minister, in conjunction with other claimants, make yearly demands upon the treasury to the amount of 180,000/., and more than five times this rum is de voted to " district and village officers, including charitable grants t ) moiq'.tss, pagodas, &c.' The cost of collection is under 10 per cent. — a smaller proportion than we have hitherto met with, but which, t.Atea together wish the other deduc tions, suffices to bring tie total net revenue of Bombay down to some 2,400,0001. The charges incurred by the presidency are unfortunately not circumscribed iu the tame ratio. The civil and political services absorb about 420,0001., a larger sum than is required at Madras; the judicial and police establishments carry off 250,0001., and 1,600,0001. is demanded for the maintenance of the army. The marine, too, though not a very serious item in Indian accounts generally, figures considerably by the side of the other charges in Bombay. The navy esti mates for Madras are brought within a compass to which few financial reformers would take exception -10,000/ ; but the Bombay marine demands nearly 210,0001, a sum exceeding that to which pilotage charges swell the same item at Calcutta. Altogether, xpeediture sgainst income, the balance-sheet of the Bombay presidency admits a deficit of some 080,0001. 'e have reserved the mention of certain charges in each of the presidencies in order that they might be more instructively exhibited in juxtaposition. We find that upon " buildings, roads, and other public works, exclusive of repairs , ' there were expended during the year to which these returns relate 45,000/. in Bengal, 48,6004 in the north-western provinces, 23,000/. in Madras, and 38,000 L in Bombay. The proportion of outlay thus Lorne by the smallest presidency is satis factory, considering the importance of its cotton districts sad its ports; but the reader will probably be of opinion that the total investment on this head falls considerably short of its due magnitude. Perhaps it may facilitate some calculations if we mention that the population of Bengal, exclusive of the Punjaub, is shout sixty millions, or somewhat less; that of Madras about fifteen or sixteen millions; and that of Bombay about three mil lions. This estimate is formed for the British terri- toriPs alone, but it does not include districts of recent acquisition either in the Deccan or towards tl e north west. The population of the Puujeub has been rated, rerheps by a low estimate, at five millions; that of Sinde, perhaps by a high estimate, at the same amount; and eight millions more may be added on account of southern districts not comprised in the estimates given above. On the whole, it would seem to follow ti. at since Ben gal and Madras show an aggregate surplus of more than 1,300,0001., against which Bombay only presents a deficit of less than 700,0091., the balance of the Com- _ . pany's account should be on the right side of the sheet. And this, in point of fact, is in some sense the case, for the total charges of all the government; in India are only, by the last accounts, 17,004 4311., whereas the total revenues and receipts in India are 17,692,6101., showing a surplus, in proportion to the figures, quite us handsome as our own. There remains behind, however, a heavy demand under the head of " Charges disburstd in England," exceeding -three millions sterling, and creating an ultimate deficit on the total account of no less than 2,324,729/. The analysis of this charge will sufficiently explain its character, but we must reserve the task for a future occasion.—Tiniest. NARROW EscArz.—On Thursday week, as a boy named Alfred Revil'e, in the service of Mr. William Parsons, solicitor, Sherwood-rise, was crossing the race-course, on his return home, at one o'clock, he was suddenly attacked by a horse in the following singular manner : —The animal laid hold of him on the arm near the shoulder, and lifted him from the ground. The boy cried loudly for help, and the horse letting go his hold, he fell upon the course, and endeavoured to crawl away on his hands and feet. The horse, however, followed him, and tried to tread on him with his fire feet, but the boy instantly got up and had the presence of mind to se'za the horse by the nose, and retain his hold until a " friend in—deed" came to the rescue and drove the animal away. The boy soon fell again from weakness, and was with difficulty got home. The wound on the arm caused by the teeth of the horse was found to be very serious, and, without proper treatment, might have been injurious to the boy through life. He is, however, out of danger, and is rapidly recovering from the effects of his curious accident.—Nottivq ham Mercury. THE GUNPOWDER MAGAZINES AT WALLASEY The commissioners of Wallasey, in their memorial to Sir George Grey, have made out a strong case for the removal of the gunpowder magazines to llilbre Island, or some other more remote or isolated district. It appears that the amount of powder kept in deposit by the various lessees is about 16,000 barrels, or between 700 and iOO tons; and that, on an average, the receipts and deliveries are about 2,000 barrels weekly. Traffic in so explosive a commodity has been too long permitted on the shores of the Mersey, and in the im mediate vicinity of a large number of the residences and of the summer resort of the merchants of Liverpool and their families. If we may judge from the melancholy results of recorded explosions of gunpowder, few persons from Sea mbe to the Rock Perch would survive a single accident to the magazines at Wallasey ; whilst it is more than probable that the shipping and property on the Liverpool side would suffer materially. We trust, therefore, that after the repre sentations which have been made to Government, no delay will take place in the remoyal of this dangerous store from the banks of the river Mersey. Since writing the above we have ascertained, from the host authority, that the memorial has been forwarded by Sir George Grey to the Board of Ord nance, who have ordered a colonel of engineers to proceed to Liverpool, in order to report on the construction of the build o: e i t t — i build ings, and on the probability of danger from storing there large quantities of gunpowder. — Liverpool Mercury.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The season closed on S Aurday with a performance which for variety end for excellence rivalled the most glorious of the glorious long Thursdays. We had the great scene from I Due Foscari, with Parodi and Coletti ; La Figlia del Reggimehto, with Sontag, Gardoni, and F. .Lableche ; the grand scene from the second act of Dcr Freischutz, beautifully rendered by Madame Fiorentini ; a scene from 11 21.1atrirnonio Segretto by the Lablaches, pere etfils, and Calsolari ; a charming Spanish canzonet sung by Madame Fiorentioi in character, which was deservedly encored, and which drew down on the fair cantatrice showers of bouquets; the National Anthem rung by the whole strength of the company and two divertisse ments, in both of which AmaliA Ferraris appeared. The house was crowded, the artistes all exerted them selves to the utmost . , and the applause throughout was entEusiast'c. Thus has ended a season in which, under more than ordinary difficulties, Mr. Lumley has by his untiring exertions, his great enterprise, his inexhaustible fertility of resources, and his great liberality and spirit, mere than maintained the prestige and character of this establishment, as the most fashionable as well as the first establishment for the representation of the lyrical drama in the world. On the 12th of March the season opened with Meyer's opera of Medea, in which Madlle. Parodi sustained the principal character. This character was the chef d'oeuvre of Madame Pasta, and Madlle. Parodi sustained it in a manner worthy of her instructress and her_ elf. Shortly afterwards Madlle. Parodi appeared as Abigail, i❑ Nino, ani is the best representative of the character that we have yet seen. As Eivira, in Ernani, ss.e achieved a perfect triumph, and the last act of the opera, owing principally to her impassiuned acting, became a stock p;:rformance during tin re mainder of the •sea•on. Her Romeo, also, was beautifully pathetic; and in Fidelina, in the 211atri mania Segretto, and in Stephan° in La Tempesta, she exhibited a fund of comic humour, a verve, a spirit, and so abandon, which astonished even her most ardent admirers. Oa the 2,1 of April an event took piece which is unparalleled in the annals cf the ltalisn opera in this country, that is the representation of an cp:ra in which the prima donna, the prima tenore, and the conductor were all English ; on that evening was represented Lucia di Lammermoor, with Catherine Hayes as Lucia, Sims Reeves as Edgardo, and Balfe as the conductor of the music. It was a glorious triumph for the English artistes. Miss Catherine Hayes was one of the most interesting and pathetic of Ltnias, and but fur the unfortunate illness under which she has teen suffering, would no doubt have follow d up her successes in Lucia and Cherubino by a succession of triumphs which would have placed her at the very head of her profession. Mr. Sims Reeves, by his performance as Edgard°, at once placed himself in the first rank of tenors, a position which he fully maintained by his subsequent i►nper eonstions of Ernani and Elvino. After the Easter recess, on the 4th of April, Madame Sontag appeared in the character of Norina in Don Pasquale, and continued with us until the last night of the sensor, exhibiting in her various representa tions of Norina, Zsrlina, Rosins, Susanna, Amines, Linda, Elvira in the Puritaui, Miranda in La Tempesta, Semiramide, and Maria in the Figlia del Reggimento, not only the most perfect and beau tiful. vocalization, but a versatility of talent and a histrionic power for the possession of which the world bad not theretofore given her credit. \Vhatevcr she did was not only sung but acted well, and in Maria she achieved a success which even the most ardent admirers of Jenny Lind were compelled to ad• mit they had thought impossible for any other artiste than their favourite to achieve. On the same evening that glorious artiste Lablache appeared with undiminished power ; the present has, perhaps, been Lablache's greatest season for years ; his conception and execution of the character of Caliban in La Tempesta is one of the most perfect and most magnificent specimens of histrionic genius that has ever been exhibited. The loyalty of this the greatest of artistes to the establishment in which he has won his laurels forms a most honourable contrast to the conduct of some other artistes No temptation has induced Lablache to quit her Majesty's Theatre, and we are rejoiced to hear that he has entered into a fresh engagement with Mr. Lumley for three years. About this time Signor Lorenz, a new baritone, appeared and achieved a marked success, in the cha racters of Nino, and of Gomez in Ernani. Calzolari has been with us from the beginning of the season, and has improved greatly. Nothing could be better than his Count Altnaviva, his Don Ottavio, or his Paulo; we consider Celzelari the most promising of the rising tenors. Coletti—the magnificent-voiced Coletti—also ap peared early in the season, and has continued with us to its close. Signor Baucarde, a new tenor from Naples, ap peared shortly after Easter in I Lombardi, and achieved an immense success, which was well followed up by his impersonation of Arturo. Success, how ever, made him careless, and with one of the most de licious voices with which nature ever enriched a man, combining power and quality, and richness and sweetness, in a rare degree, he left at the conclusion of the season, having certainly failed to main tain the character which he had justly earned at the commencement—a failure solely attributable to his own carelessness, and which, therefore, may, and we hope, will bo remedied. A new contralto appeared in the person of Mademoiselle Ida Bertrand, a sweet singer and an energetic actrese, who achieved a great success in Pierotto, and a perfect triumph in Orsini. Madame Frezzolini made her debut early in May, in Lucrezia Borgia, and at once] became a decided favorite, and her subsequent performances of Lucia, Guilietta, and Adina added greatly to her well-earned fame. ImMediately after the debut of Madame Fre occurred the great event of the season, the production of La Tempesta. The circumstances attending the production of this magnificent opera are fresh in the memory of every opera-goer, and never was lyrical work of high merit produced under circumstances so honourable to the management prcducing it. Neither pains, ner trou ble, nor expense, were spared to make it as perfect as possible ; the most accomplished dramatist of Europe was engaged to write tie libretto, the greatest musi c:an in Europe had been engaged to compose the music, and when death deprive.] the world of Men delsshon no pains were spared to secure the services of a maestro worthy to be his successor, and when completed the opera was pro Weed in a style and with a cast such as no other lyrical establishment in the world could have secured for it. Sontag, Lablache, Coletti i Biucarde, Ida Bertrand, Giuliani, Lorenzo, F. Lablache, and Car lotta Grisi, were all in the cast. Its success was most complete, and it had a run al most :unexampled in the operatic annals of this country. Of the Caliban of Lablache, and of the Ariel of Carlotta Grisi, it is work of supererogation to speak—they are already world-rimous. Towards the conclusion of the season Gardoni joined the corps, and appeared in some few of his favourite characters with undiminished success. His voice is as pure and as sweet, and his acting as pa thetically impassioned as ever. He is engaged for next season. At the close of the season Madame Fiorentini ap peared. She is a pupil of Crevelli, and had been previously almost unknown to fame ; but by her performance in the characters of Norma and Donna Anna, she, in one week, achieved for herself a position in the very foremost rank of prime donne, and brought the season to a brilliant conclusion. We believe that Mr. Lumley has engaged her for next season. The ballet department has been very strong; Carlotta Grisi appeared in a new ballet, Les Metamorphoses, on the first night of the season, and has continued with us to within a fortnight of its conclusion. Marie Taglioni appeared early in the season, and a new dancer, Mdlle. Amelia Ferraris, appeared in the month of April, and at once took her station as one of Les Deesses de la danse. The splendid ballet Les Metamorphoses was most success ful, and was repeated frequently during the course of the season. A new pas, entitled Les Graces, produced for the purpose of exibiting the combined talents of the dees:es, Carlotta Grisi, Amelia Ferraris, and Marie 'Taglioni, was most successful, andsmany of the favourite ballets of last season were revived. During the season a series of grand classical concerts were given with great success. The selection of the music reflects the greatest credit on the judgment and taste of Mr. B alfe, whose man ner of conducting the orchestra was, throughout the season, beyond all praise. THEATRE ROYAL, B ELEA ST.—The third appear , ance last night of the present operatic company in Belfast, proved the charm attached to the mystic number three, as they came cut in greater power and effect in their third opera, Sonnuthirda, than in tither of the two preceding.. Miss Pym gave unmitigated satisfaction in the singing and acting of Amina. She enunciated clearly and artistically, and evinced throughout a sensible and musical appreciation of the part, which amply responded to the reputation she has earned in metropolitan circles. To say we were pleased with the per formance were to convey a faint idea of the gratification we received ; in justice to her claims we can use no feebler term than the word "delighted," and the quality and volume of voice which she put tnrth, combined with her breadth of ex pression, and the purity of her intonation, no less surprised than astonished us. Mr llarrison ably seconded Miss Pyne as Elvino. His falsetto was sparingly used, and his fioriturc appropriately introduced ; he gave the Tutto c sciolto in ex cellent style, and was encored in this as in other arias, es he deservedly merited to be. his performance throughout the whole part was characterised by taste and earne.lt passion. Mr. Lloyd played Alessio well; and Mr. and Mrs. Weiss ably sustained their ro'cs —.2Vorthcra Whig, Aug. 22. The Rev.

The royal squadron put into Dover yesterday even ing, and after dinner continued their voyage to Os borne. SUNDAY. The Queen and Prince, accompanied by the Prince of Wales and younger members of the Royal Fa mily, walked this morning in Osborne Park. Her rtf4j( sty and I.is Royal Highness, and the Ladies and Gentlemen of the household, attended Divine s,ro - ice this forenoon at Osborne. The Rev. Protheroe, chaplain to his Royal liighnefs, Colonel the Hop. A. Gordon, Equerry to the Prince, arrived at O,horne yesterday afternoon. There was no other addition to the Royal dinner party. Lord John Russell has arrived at Loch Lomond. The Earl of Minto has arrived at his seat, Minto Castle, Roxburghshire. Dispatches were receivcd yesterday at the Colonial office, from the Governor of Gibraltc.r. HER MA JEST Y'S INSPECTION OF THE DOVER HARBOUR OF REFUGE. It being announced that the royal yacht Victoria and AllQrt s ou!d piss close in shore on Friday evening, on is return from 03t(nd, in order to afford her TAlL . jstry and the Prince Consort an opportunity of viewing the Rtf,ige H:rbour woilu, the bench and bay ea:ly in the afternoon presented a very animated appearances. The parade was lined with gny and fail ionahly-attirf d visitors, while the Channel was dutted with ships and steamers as far as the eye could reach. S'lortly after five o'clock the royal squadron was seen hearing down from the Downs in a line with the South Sand Light. Flags were hoisted on the heights and castle, the Governu ent-cflices, and t.ha numerous vessels in the harbour, and the cliffs in front of, the g rs on were fringed with the 91st in single file. At length the royal yachts came abreast of the castle. The Vivid and Fairy were on either side, while the Black Esgle brought up the rear. She was hauled close in under the Refuge Harbour works the guns on the western heights and the castle ss lu'iog, and the troops on the top of the cliff firing feu de joi(s. The Victoria and Albert being anchored abreast of the harbour, Captain 1311 dock, the Superintendent of the Packet Service, the Mayor, Mr. Walker, tie Admiralty engineer, and Mr. Irons, the harbour master, proceeded off with plans of the work, which were submitted to her Msjesty and Prince Albert. The royal pair were on deck, and seemed much gratified with the loyalty of the thousands who lined the beach. The royal . acht was brought so close in shore as to be within hail of the pier heed. 11(r Majet , ty, the Prince, and the royal children appeared in excellent health. The Queen end the Princesses were dressed in plain silk mourning, and the two young Princes as sailors. It was anticipated that, as night was setting in, the royal squadron would lie in the bay till morning. The favourable state of the weather, however, induced the trip to be resumed, and at eight o'clock, after a stay of nearly two hours, during which time her Alpjesty was earnestly engagtd in irquiring into the character of the works and reviewing the lines, &c., the Victoria and Albert steamed out of the hay, and proceeded away to the westward, amid the same manifestations of loyalty as greeted her Majesty's arrival. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO NEWCASTLE. (From the Newcastle Gu dian ) The direc•ors of the York, Neecastle, and Berwick Railway had a meeting on Wednesdey evening at the railway station in the Forth, Newcastle, to further the arrangements in anticipation of her Majesty's visit on Thursday next. A contemporary gives a detail c f those arraegemeets in the following terens:—Although it is understood that her Mde.ty, in opening the new station, will not alight frcm he r earea;e, yet, as it is possibly as well as desirable, that some change may take place in the royal intention in this reqect, the directors have ordered that two spacious rooms should be set apart for her Majesty's use, one as a retiring. room, and the other for lutcheon, provided her Majesty will condescend so far to meet the views of the authorities. Mr. Thomas I)otchin, of Pilgrim-street, is now busily engaged in fitting op these roomy. The walls will be covered with fluted cloth, red and white, and the ceiling will be panelled . in a similar sty le. Some large and splendid =trots will be introduced. Adjoining these rooms and opening into them is a large reception-room, in which the railway directors and the members of the Newcastle corpo:wion will partake of luncheon, and where they will await the arrival of her Majesty. On the spacious area of the station will be erected two large platforms commanding a view of the royal party, and extending from the rails to the reception.-room on each side. These will be appropriated to ladies, and will accommodate about 2 500. The entrance to the station from the nth Level-bridge, will Le eecorated in such a manner as to produce a most imposing effect. At present the treble arched roof has a grand, though somewhat naked, ap pearance; but cn the occasion of the royal visit, the Shred arches will be occupied by three splendid emblema tical bas-reliefs, in imitation of stone. The centre will contain the royal arms. On the right side will be a full-lergth view c f her Majesty, surrounded by her dominions, represented by figures dressed in their respective nati.Lal costumes, with the appropriate motto, ‘• On the Dominions cf Britain the Sea never nets." On the le ft side a full length likeeess of Prince Albert, sur rounded by the arts and sciences. The figures cf her Majeety end the Prince will be each twelve feet in height. These paintings, which are in an advanced stage of progress, are the production of Mr. R. S. Scott, whose talent as an artist has already commanded public admiration. 'The entire arrangements are under the direction of Mr. Dobsor, the archi't et. The iron pillars supporting the arches sill be decorated with evergreens. Outside the station there will be standing room for thou sands of spectators all along the line of railway. The project for raisin; a subscription amongst the inhabitants of the town, fur the purpose of having a grand public display of fire-works in the evening, in honour of her Majesty and Prince Albert's second visit t t this town, is progressing favcurably, and the Weaver's Tower, New Bridge-street, has been granted for the occasion. It is the intention of the parties to engage a competent person from London, to manage the exhibi tion on the occasion. At Berwick, where luncheon will also be provided, the preparations made by the railway authorities will be on a scale of greet splendour. A triumphal arch, de signed by Mr. John Gibson, of this town, is now in course of erection by Messrs. Waite and Howard, at the north end of the Berwick viaduct. The arch will be surmounted by an entablature, with a richly decorated freize. On the spandrils will be medallions of the Queen and Prince Albert in bas-relief, surrounded by elegant ornaments, on " Victoria tartan" drapery. Beneath the arch is to be the emblem of the Union; on the abut ments will be shown the arms cf Newcastle, Berwick, and Edinburgh, on shields, surrounded by Grecian erne , ments, from the arch will he suspended large banners ; the whole will be surmounted by the royal arms of En gland, painted in imitation of statuary, the supporters being nine feet six inches long; scrolls with mottoes will encircle the columns, and evergreens and artificial flowers will be brought in aid cf the general effect, which promises to be one of brilliancy and elegance. From the apparent care and judgment bestowed on the design, and the great ability with which the decora tions are being executed by Messrs. John and Joseph Gibson, the work, we anticipate, will be one worthy of the great an.l interesting occasion. Atter passing the triumphal arch it is expected that her Majesty and the Prince will alight and partake of luncheon in a marquee, which will be handsomely fitted up for the reception of the royal p art y . The marquee is situated at a short distance from the spot where the royal party will alight ; the two points will be con fleeted by an avenue, through which her Majesty will pass. On the right of this avenue will be an open space accessible to the public. On the left of the marquee will be an outlet leading to an octagon building, which will be ascended by a flight of steps, and from the top of which the eye takes in a magnificent prospect of the surrcanding scenery, including the new bridge, the town of Berwick, the sea, and the verdant slopes of the Tweed. Her Majesty will thus be enabled to survey the boundaries of England and Scotland at the most favourable point c f view. The area enclosed by the avenues leading from the marquee to the railway on the one side, and the octagon will be occupied by the share holders of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway Company. It is understood the Queen will christen the bridge "The Royal Border Bridge." Loyal addresses will be presented to her Majesty both at this town and Berwick by the resp ec t ive munici pal authorities. The royal party are e c'ed to ar rive at Edinburgh about five o'clock in the evening, where her Mjesty will be received by tke Lord Provost, the commander-in chief, and other officials. The route to Holyrood Palace will bo through the Queen's Park, by the new road on the site of the Duke's-walk. ACCIDENT TJ TUE HON. W. 0. STANLEY, M.P.— IioLYnEAD, FRIDAY.—An accident which might have been attended with a fatal result has just occurred .to the Hon. \V. 0. Stanley. As his carriage (,:entaining Lady Sarah Hay 1\ illiams, of Bodelwyddan, another lady, and the Hon. Gentleman) was proceeding down Summer-hill, the horses sueelerily became restive, and the pole broke, so that they became unmanagable, and ran with great force against the gable end of a house at the foot cf the hill. Mr. Stanley was thrown out of the vehicle with great violence, and was severely injured by the fall. O ne of the horses was killed on the spot, and the carriage received much damage. The ladies were both hurt a nd fri g htened by the severe shock. Every assistance was rendered by the inhabitants residing near, and efficient medical aid instantly procured for Mr. Stanley, wha, it is now hoped, will progress favourably to wards recovery. It is providential that no fatal result at tended an accident of so serious a nature.
