Extensive preparations ara now being made for the production of a new and original Eqnestrian Ccmic Pant .mime, Written expressly for this Theatre, by G. 11. Rcdwell, Esq. Box-Afflce Open from Eleven till Four.. Stage Manager, Mr. T. Thompson. On TIIITP., -, DAY, Decemt or 26, 1350, Will be produced an entirely new and original grand historical EquestrilnChr;stmas Pantomime, written expressly for this Theatre, by the author of " Itlufl King Hal," to he entitle I HARLEQUIN AND O'DONOGHUE ; or, The White Horse of Killarney. To say that this Equestrian Pantomime - will be superbly " mounted," is to say no more than must be expected ; coming, as it does; - surrounded with such favourable auspices. It has been said by some authors, that &Donoghue (but I don't know who) was a good Prince of Ireland; who, (sehewing whiskey, was always chewing water, and kicking his eels (heels) at the bot tom of the Lake of Killarney, excepting once a year when, finding himself taken with a swimming in the heed, he would pop up to the surface, and mounting his charger, would charge her to gallop across the Lake. Many expected that so much galloping would have thrown him into a galloping consumption ; but such has not proved the c.:se, for some assert that not only he, but his Horse too, is " stilt alive and kicking." 'flats hard galloping, or Galloparding, always occurred on the Eve of May-Day. The description of him is that he was tall —but not at alt too ta:l—that he was handsome, and would hand some whatever :hey desired—that his appearance was even in the light of Day—that of an Electra-plated Knight ; for he was covered all over with a thin Coat of :,iiver—this Ccat he could never wear out, because he was always at home. Eat now to the Pantomime SCENE' THE FIRST. THE GLEN OF MI.:CHIEF. The Hag cf Mischief, over a Pi at Fire, is still trying to elicit from an Illicit Still the Evil Spirit of Ireland, in the focus of wIIISKEY who, though still in the Still, won't be still, Let "busts his and stands confessed the REM.. POTEEN ! This powerful Spirit is sent by the Hag of Mischief, under the disguise of Paddy Carey, to tempt and ruin the followers of " Father Mathew" and the " Water Cure," whom, she says, are the especial favourites of the " Water Drinking Fool," O'Donogite. Whiskey swears he'll de her bidding, for he'll fire them with drink., by making them as drunk as blazes.' Mischief parts from Whiskey with " a drop in her eye," but Whiskey is not so affected ; for he is sure that where Whiskey is, Mischief won't be far off. SCENE Till SIC ,ND. THE LAKE OF KILLARNEY. The entrance to the Mansion ef Lord Bnllfrog is on one side, on the other a Milo bin. It being in Ireland, the sign was to have been " a Bull," but " bulls" not being in fashion at present, it has been changed to the " Queen's Heat , ." It being May-Day Eve, the Fairies of the Lake are seen dancing and strewing flowers on the water, as if sweetly M'Adarnizing thz road, preparatory to the ap pearance of - ON HIS WRITE lIORSE. He gallops across the Lake, says much that is well worth hearing, puts on the habit of a Beggar, and, " 0 Charming May," what a time for mating a little love ; so think the fair Kathleen and her Lover Dermot Astore, but instead of making a little, they make a great deal. She relieves the Beggars wants, and then wants to kave a little more love. It hd.s long since been an established fact, that even Cupid, who can change any man into a goosa, sometimes has his own " goose cooked," and so it proves now, for Lord Bull frog's Cookey, discovering the Lovers, flares up, a " broil" enines, and all are thrown into a perfect " stew." At this critical moment, Lord Bullfrog, with his jovial companions, return from the chase. Lady Bullfrog (to see her is to love her), with her interesting little family, comes to meet him. S!.e flies into her husband's arms—and thus (as many married ladics have done before) stands "in arms against her husband?' T.ord Bullfrog is enraged with the Lovers, so to punish Dermot, who is in his debt, he seizs his only friend, his Horse, by way of payment, but gets " more kicks than ha'pence." O'Donoghue, as the metlicant, aids the Lovers, and Dermot's Horse is restored. Lord Bullfrog, being de:elmined to let rid of his plague of a daughter, pu s her up as " a Prize," which makes her look very " blank," as he exclaims— Whoe'er to-morrow brings the f,irest steed, The one that. laps the be>t, has greatest >p ed; Shall have fair Kath'ec:i— yes, ,he and all her t'n, So try your lucky, and :et the test ll orse win. All disperse, leaving Dermot a'one with his Horse, by where aid, be feels certa'n to win his heart's dearest ho. e. But, alas I •• the course of true love never •ad run smooth." Whiskey conies in the way, and will ki away his senses—then his moncy—and, at laq, his Mae ; Rii skey rnout.ts the Horse, and, setting up a horse laugh, gallopi NT with it. Dermot in despair determines to try the "Water Cure," by drowning; timielf, but is prevented by O'Dono ghuec 'who promises to ier,d him another }terse ior the morrow's race, attd - at on e takes to the bottom of the Lake. SCENE TILE TRIAD. THE CORAL STABLE OF THE THOUSAND STEEDS. Here O'Donoghne's White Horse is seen quite at home enjoying his banquet, waited upon by Ponies and Water Fairies, He is in the prime of lire. " None of your has-beens," for he " never has beans," but dines off his three courses like a gent, consisting of a TUREEN of PUMP SOUP, a dish of STEWED HORSE LEECHES, and a plateau of CORNED BEEF, the whole washed down by a bottle of CLOVER WINE. Having a turn fir taciturnity, he stands no " chaff," and having cut his corns, has no objections to a little dance. Dermot chooses a Horse, which, as might be expected, ➢roves " one in a thousand." Ile fedi "quite ap in the stirrups," and as he Is changing his clothes, he is closed in by changing the scene to SCENE THE FOURTH, TUE LAUGHING FOREST, Whiskey and Mischief meet again. The Evil Spirit tells the Hag that he has obtained Dermot's fav,urite Morse, and on it he hopes to win the race, and thus bring Kathleen within their power. The trees enjoy the fun, and though precious old ones, " laugh like new 'uns." SCENE THE FIFTH. MAY-DAY IN THE HILLS OF KILLARNEY, .... Here we find Morris Dancing, Running in a Sack, Grinning through a Collar, and ether delicate amusements previous to the GREAT TRIAL! All the competitors seize their stirrups, and some of them "put their foot in it." But where is Dermot ? If they start without him, there will be a start with a vengeance. But no ! he is coming, and very becoming he comes. All is prepared ; off they go. This proves true enough, for many go off' over their horses' necks. Der mot leaps his Lordship's " gate" after a " style" of his own. Whiskey being a lad of "spirit," Is not at all behind. N ow f or th e R ace, which is to decide all ! Kathleen trembl. s. Whiskey must put his strength to the proof. Kathleen takes courage, for to her Dermot is far too winning to lose—nor does he ; but Whiskey getting possession of Kathleen and the Fairy Steed, flies off with her. All consterna tion—" Pursue, pursue." SCENE THE SIXTH. THE PURSUIT THROUGH THE LAUGHING FOREST. O'Donoghue again befriends Dermot, by lending him his own White Horse --Cooky has mounted her Arabian steed, which, clever as she thought him, proves a perfect ass. SCENE THE SEVENTH. TIIE LAKE OF KILLARNEY (as before). The Evil spirit and Kathleen fly across. The horse knows his own stable, so vanishes beneath the Lake, and thus water overcomes the power of Whiskey. Dermot, on O'Donoghue's White Horse, /lies to the rescue of his love, and brings her safely to land again— when, as might be expected, nerrnot is changed to H ar l equ i n , K ai h leen ,to Columbine, Lord nullfrog to Pantaloon, and Blousabella the Brisket, the nad Fat C t egi ok, t) Clown.

ATTEMPT AT SELT-DESTRUCTION AT MALVERN. — Oa Tuesday morning last a female in the establishment of a highly respectable tradesman of this village was found lying on her face in one of the bed-rooms, and weltering in her blood, having cut her throat with a razor, which was lying beside her. The wound was nearly five inches in length, and the windpipe completely severei. Mr. Coates and Mr. West, stvgeons, were instantly sent for; and it is hoped, from their prompt and skilful treatment, that she may ulti mately recover. No cause can be assigned for the rash act (except a quarrel the same morning with her fellow-servant. TAIL HIGH WATER Al LONDON BRIDGE.

" Pz ince Louis NAPOLEON rides well"—such is the estimates farmed by France of her chief magistrate. The circumstance is not less fantastic than charac • teristic. It accords admirably with the general bear ing of the nation, of whom it has been said that they would dance over an earthquake. Other men have been chosen, it is true, for less heroic qualities. lILTTON was favoured by ELIZABETH, because he could " foot it " with more than ordinary agility. OLivira was beloved by Louts XI , because he hap pened to be, in more senses than one, a decidedly " clever shaver." GEORGE IV. took an interest in BAUMMELL, scarcely less for the adroit disposition of his neckcloth than for his carriage as a consummate gentleman. Innumerable instances of infatuation not a jot less remarkable might be adduced from the historical records of humanity. Yet such corroborative evi dence would most assuredly be superfluous, consider ing that every person, more or less, can from their own remembrance find proofs of the frequency of the principle recently carried out in the popular accept ance of LOUIS NAPOLEON. Two years have elapsed since his election, on the 10th of December, and the unanimous opinion of the community who then ele vated him to the supreme rank of President is—that "he rides well !" The estimate, we grant, is pecu liarly characteristic ; but apart from the circumstance of its being in this respect a genuine bon mot, we cannot but regard it as an expression not merely unjust towards the Prince, but absolutely ungrateful. LOUIS NAPOLEON does something more than ride well. Witness this the tranquillity se cured to France during no less than four-and-twenty months of his government ; witness this the increasing prosperity of the country in most of i,s industrial de partments; witness this the constitutional working of the republican form of administration, preservative at once of order and democracy, of freedom and of mo rality; witness this the re-establishment of those only secure and reliable foundations of society which had hitherto appeared to be crumbled away under the pressure of undue license and exagge rated fanaticism, under the depressing influence of Socialist and Communist ideas. The condition of France at the present moment, bearing in mind the deteriorating effects of the Orleans system, immedi ately prior to the revolution of February, and pre serving yet more in recollection the ruinous conduct of the anarchists and Red Republicans immediately after that great political explosion—the condition of France we say at this moment (bearing those things in consideration) is a sufficient testimony that the Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON is capable of something more than merely riding well ; that he is sagacious as v,ell as accomplished, a statesman as well as an equestrian. Speaking bluntly, however, the phrase to which we have alluded as being just now on the lips of most Frenchmen, is but another evidence of their fickle ness. It reveals a disposition on the part of some, at least, to upset the rule exercised:over the young Re public by the Elys6e through the dexterous employ ment of that most formidable of all weapons among the Parisians —ridicule or caricature. Let the laugh be once rai3ed against a man in rower and he is effectually " done for" among the intriguers of that metropolis. It was the constant churivari directed against old " pear-head" that led as much as anything to the downfall of the last monarchy. It was the jocularity with which the political arti zans collected together in the Luxembourg were treated that caused the abandonment betimes of their great scheme for the organization of labour, and the ultimate expatriation of its originator. It was the admirable juke against LANIARTINE, that he was nothing less than an incendiary transformed into a fireman, which prepared the way for the dissolu• tion of his authority, an authority at one time nothing less than that usually wielded by a Dictator. So it has been in innumerable other instances among Frenchmen, and so it will doubtless continue to be as long, at least, as their temperament remains unchanged. Aware of this the mere witty among the intriguers at Paris have been long cudgelling their brains for the detection of a vulnerable part in the character of the PRESIDENT, or, rather, an assailable point in his proceedings. Un fortunately for them the task has been somewhat difficult, for hitherto the PRINCE has in no way ren dered himself ridiculous. He may hare, and doubt less has, blundered in the direction of his Govern ment, but hitherto, at least, we repeat, be has not rendered himself ridiculous. Indeed this is avowedly the most conspicuous merit of his Administration. It has tended not a little to surprise the majority of observers to find one who had previously so very often laid himself open to the shafts of derision evincing in every act and expression the soundest judgment. That a knight of the Eglinton tournament, the " Pretender" at Strasbourg, and the invader at Boulogne, should, ou escending the Presidential chair of the French Republic, in no one par. ticular afford an opportunity for the skill of the caricaturist, must be remembered among not the least bewildering facts recorded in the annals of the " great nation." Yet such has indisputably been the consequence of the memorable election of the 10. h of December, insomuch that we are compelled in justice to remember the former events in the career cf Louis NAPOLEON, such as his proceedings at Strasbourg and Boulogne, as nothing more nor less than the sowing of his political wild oats ! On his elevation to the chief magistracy of the It -public, the l'areCE had satisfied his wild humours to the full, and had not only sobered down and reformed from an ac:ven hirer into a statesman, but had accomplished this, be it remembered, with the acquisition of experience. Whatever, therefore, the joke-mo ngers o f P aris niay say with a view to diminish the respect inspired by his ac's towards his judgment—it mug' be confessed, honestly and explicitly confessed, that LOUIS NAPo. LEON " rides vveli," not merely on the Boulevards, but over the destinies of France, not merely on the favourite charger stabled in the outhouses of the Elysee, but over also the storms of political commotion and the whirlwinds yet agitating a Republic born of a Revolution. Where is Mrs. SLOANE ? Our anticipations have unfortunately proved but too well-founded. She has absconded from her usual place of residence, and is not forthcoming to abide the investigation into the enormous outrage, or rather series of outrages, laid to her charge. It would indeed have been miracu lous bed she done sc—she could not hope to explain away or rebut the damning evidences of her guilt. They were but too plainly written in the attenuated appearance and enfeebled con dition of her victim, " the most perfect livings skeleton" ever seen by Dr. MARSDEN. Every stale ment put forward by the unfortunate girl, nay the very objections made by the Counsel for the male de fendant, tended to fix the crime on her shoulders, to render a conviction certain ; and yet, with that irre sistible testimony fully before him, with a perfect knowledge of all the horrible and disgusting facts and circumstances of the case, Aldermen ITuatersaay sends a summons (I !!) to the chief delinquent to spear before him. As well might a summons have been served on Mrs. MANNING, then she was discovered at Edinburgh, cr a polite intimation forwarded to Mr. RUSH that his attend ance before the magistrates was particularly re quested ! We really believe that there would have been as great a probability of its being respected in the latter cases as in the former. It is true that the crimes were nominally greater, that more stringent punishment awaited the murderers on conviction, than could be assigned to Mrs. SLOANE, but we deny that the moral guilt was greater than that of the cold blooded torturer cf her fellow-creature, who practised a refinement of cruelty on the friendless orphan such as has ne'ver hitherto been brought to light. Mrs. MANNING speedily destroyed her victim, but Mrs. SLOANE continued her unceasing persecution for many successive months, until the miserable child was brought to death's door, until she was placed in the most imminent peril—when, according to Dr. MAnspaze, "she must have died but for the interfer ence of Mr. PHILLIMORE," for " she could not have remained in that state many days longer." Had it not been for the humane and laudable conduct of that gentleman the miseries of the unfortunate JANE IVILBRED would have long since terminated, and her infamous mis tress might have had to expiate her offence upon the scaffold. It was by mere accident that these results were avoided, and yet, even when the poor girl was by no means out of danger, when Alderman ITuat- PIIERT apparently hesitated whether he would admit the far lese guilty defendant to bail, he issued his snianzons to Mrs. SLOANE to appear at the adjourned inquiry, with almost the certainty that it would be trt need with the most contemptuous disre gard, that it would, in feet, be regarded as a friendly warning► to the delinquent to znelse her escape wilt all convenient speed. Even whe❑ she disobeyed the first summons, and her contumacy Co soy nothing of the horrible outrages that had been brought home to her) would have justified any severity, the worthy Alderman was satisfied with the ridiculous excuse that " she had is jured her leg by slipping through an area railing ! and that she could mint leave her bed without great danger"! ! There was no evidence to support that assertion, not even a medical certificate c f her illness. The blr rister in attendance was informed by the defendant's attorney, who most probably received his instructions to that effect from the defendant himself. But this frivolous apology, this transparent humbug, contented Alderman HUMDLIERY, who would not act so harshly as to send off a warrant at once, but issued it with an intimation " that it would be put in force as soon as Mrs. SLOANE was in a fit state to leave her bed." Was justice ever administered in so " rose-water" a fashion, so calculated to bring the majesty of the law into contempt and disrepute ? It is not, as we have already stated, our habit to offer any observations on a case while it is yet sui judice ; but the flight of Mrs. SLOANE is a vir tual confession of her guilt; and as she has evaded its penal consequences, she cannot feel surprised if we give expression to the feelings of indignant horror that must arise on bearing the unpraileled and unna tural brutalities thus tardily brought to light. We could not have believed that a female could have so acted towards one of her own sex. There is some rede-:m ing fel:011re perceptible in almost the most degraded, some womanly feeling that casts a ray of light upon the picture ; but here all is darkness and gloom, there is nothing to relieve the visior, or to struggle through the surrounding murkiness. The Roman law could not recognise the crime of parri cide. The senators could not conceive such mons4rous guilt, and there was no punishment for the crimi nal beyond that which awaited ordinary persons. There is a similar deficiency in the English law. The crime of Mrs. SLOANE cannot be adequately expiated ; but that is no reason why she should be permitted to escape with impunity, and to avoid even the utterly insufficient punishment assigned to the offence for which she may be indicted. Mrs. BIRD, who was an angel of light in comparison, was not treated with such leniency ; there was unfortunate!y no JOHN GEORGE PHILLIMORE in the neighbourhood of Bideford to protect and rescue her victim—that miserable girl perished under her sufferings ; but the constant flsgellations to which she was subjected were as nothing compared to the unutterable brutalities of the female fiend of Pump-court. We have been credibly informed that it is the in tention of her Majesty to visit Dublin early in the ensuing summer, by the way of Holyhead.— Carnarren Herald.

ILLNESS OF VISCOUNT ALFORD, M P.—We deeply regret to hear from undoubted authority that the illness (consumption) of this respected young nobleman has assumed such a shape as to preclude all hopes of recovery; indeed, we are sorry to say that, probably, ere this year expires, we shall have to announce his death. His Lordship is confined to his bed at Ashbridge Park, his seat in Bedfordshire, where he is most assiduously and affectionately attended by his afflicted lady. Hardly two years hav e e l a p se d s i nce hi s Lordship came into possession of the princely income be queathed to him by the late Duke of Bridgewater, a circum stance which we announced to our readers at the time. We understand that the will will be disputed, and already have some of our most eminent lawyers received retainers in the cause. Lord Viscount Alford, M.P. for Bedfordshire, eldest son of Earl Brownlow, Lord-Lieutenant of Linco'nshire, was born October, 1812, and married in February, 1841, the Lady Marian Compton, eldest daughter of the Marquis of North ampton ; by this marriage his Lordship has issue two sons, John William Spencer Brownlow, born 28th March, 1842, and Adelbert Wellington, born 19th August, 1846.—Lineovisliire Chronicle. FIRE AT CLAPIIAAL—Last night (Friday) the neighbourhood of Clapham was thrown into a state of excite ment owing to the sudden outbreak of a fire in a range of workshops belonging to Captain Ross, situate in New-square, Clapham-common. The building was upwards of 50 feet long and 40 wide. It was used by the numerous workmen employed on the estate in erecting the various houses belong ing to the above-named gentleman. It was nearly four hours after the outbreak before the fire could be extinguished, and not until the premises in which the disaster commenced were levelled with the ground, and the stacks of timber in the open yard destroyed. The total loss is very consider able, and unfortunately Captain Ross was in sure d f or on l y 5001. in the Union Fire-eflice. Respecting the origin cf the fire nothing certain is known, but there is strong ground for supposing that it was the work of an incendiary, as no lights of any description were allowed in the building after dark. THE SEWER ACCIDENT IN SCOTLAND-YARD Yesterday morning a portion of the premises of Messr;.Ro bins, Aspden, and Co., the cement manufacturers in Scot land-yard, fell in close to the spot where, some days ago, the tide broke through and drowned two men. It seems that the water filling into the sewer had swept away a portion of the foundation on which the wall which has given way rested. This accident is, therefore, a natural and unavoidable conse quence of the former one; but, happily, has not been at tended with the same disastrous results. Mr. Gotto, the surveyor of the district, visited the spot in the course of the day, and arranged with Messrs. Robins, Aspden, and Co., as to the manner in which the injury to their premises should be repaired. At present, and while the whole subject is under regular investigation, it would be improper to enter into details which might compromise individuals. The whole neighbourhood, however, which appears to be entirely in the hands of excavators, seems to feel deeply alarmed at the amount of boring and tunneling going on beneath their ha bitations, and not unwilling to believe that the Commis sioners of Sewers have some unexplained sinister design against their property and lives. , TIE VACANT CATALIIY REGIMENT..—Rurnour gives his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge the colanelcy cf the Ist Dragoon Guarde, vacant by the decease cf 6ir William Lumley. If this arrangement is carried into (ffect the Commander-in-Chief will have the 17th Lancers at his disposal. At all events the Duke of Cambridge is in town.— United Service Gazette. SUN ) LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 21; 1850. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The appointment of . the new Legitimatist Committee has put both Bunapartists and Orleanists on the qui vice. The Bonapartist Poevoir has the following on the subject : ".Great rumour among the representatives of the fusion —we mean the in'rigue! A sort of manifesto of the Count do Chanibprd, in the shape of a letter, addressed to M. Berryer, is, it said, about to be published. M. de Chambord desires, it appears, to efface as much as pos sible the impression unfavourable to his interests which was caused by the circular of M. Bard t emy. We are assured that M. de Chambord his joined to the public part of his message confidential instructions, from which the Legitimatists will derive their rule of conduct, not only as regards general policy, but also with respect to cer tain particular questions. Among other things M. de ;;Chtsinbord foresees the case in which the Ministry will present a demand for a credit for the extraordinary ex penses for the Presidency, and he proscribes the absolute rejecion of it. But what. is most curious is thst, it ap pears, the present chief of the night has not all the con fidence of the Court of Frohsdoif. The event t f the message being kept from over prudence has been fore men, end another Legitimatist notability, General do Sa;nt Priest, has received a copy of it as a precaution. Every thing, then, causes it to be presumed that the public will be made acquainted with the document. For our own put, we shall read it with satisfaction; we are anxious to know what are the intentions of his Majesty Henry V. with respect to his faithful Eubjects." The Orleanists have determined to set up an Oppo sition CommWte, of which Marshals SOULT and GE RARD, and MM. DUPIN, GUIZOT. and A[OISTALIV.ET, and possibly P.I. THIERS, will be members. It is considered probable that Count MOLE will give up his project of forming a fusion club, es many leeen of both parties bare declared against a fusion, in which casts be would probably join the Orleanist Committee ; the Count DE MONTALEMBERT and seve ral other leaders have left Count MOLE'S club. The Legititnatiat Union has the following on the nomina tion of the Legitimatist Committee In respect, to this subject, we repeat that our politi cal friends do not coesti' ute either a directing commit tee or a ministry, d that the herds o f mu t ua l es t eem and great confor-nifty of principles alone form these me: tinge, at which their line of conduct on particular questions is deliberated upon, reserving to all a perfect independence of iudgrnent and action."

The Government is occupied with a definitive project of law for the regulation of that debt. This pri j-ct will be presented to the Cortes in the couree cf the session." The BoLsa was closed on the 15th. GERMA N Y. It is said that the Emperor of AUSTRIA. is about to marry the Princess SIDONIA of Ssxony. Marshal ItAbErrsKy returns to Italy, taking with him the constitution for the Lornhardo-Venetian kingdom. - The seat of Givern went is to be at Milan, the situation of Verona hiving been found unfavour able. The Augsburg Zeil*?2g announces that the railway betw , :en Pre:,burg and l'esth is now completed. The first e6ssy was made on the 7th, and the line will be opened to the public on the 16th. The completion of this line will be of great advantage to trade and commerce, as the re will now be a regular communi cation for passengers, lettere, and geed., from hence to Vienna; Tne German Journal of Franhfort, of the 18th inst., states that the Germanic Diet Ills appointed a Commission to examine the treaty of Oimutz, which the Austrian Government has submitted to it for its approbation. The Diet will not be adjourned during the face conferences at Dresden, and the Cabinet of Vienna ha 3 expressed a desire to the German Go vernment that no Member of the Diet shall be called on to take pirt in them. The Cologne Gazette of the 19',1] inst. states that on the 17th preparations were king made at Cassel for the reception of the Bavarian troops, who were then at Gudensburg. The Prussians were to leave the city on the - 18*.h, with the exception of two battalions. The members of the Tribunal of Appeal of Mar bourg have sent in their resignations. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Assembly of the States of Schleswig-Holstein examined, in its sitting of th, 12th and 13th, the account given in by the Financial Administration for 1849. It appears from this account that the re ceipts amounted to 25,675,129 marks banco, and the expenditure to 22,609,191 marks banco, leaving a surplus of receipts amounting to 3,067,935 marks banco. HER MAJIit'TICS THEATRE. NATIONAL CONCEaTs. A new quadrille, entitled "The Crystal Palace," was produced here last eve n i ng w i t h great success. Ir is descriptive of toe forthcoming Exhibition, and the composer, M. Rousselot, ha s c l ever l y availed him self of the immense musical resources of this estab lishment, the whole of which he has brought into play. Among the popular airs he has introduced a very clever harmonization of " Tr a b, t ra b," , w hi c h was much applauded. .The comp os iti on , t a k en as a whole, is one of great spirit, and should N. Rousse lot seriously betike himself to the c om p os i t i on an d compilation of dance music, Jullien will find in him a formidable rival. ASTLEVS AMPHITHEATRE. THE FORTHCOMING PANTOMIME. The new equestrian pantomime cf HarleoltTnand O'Donoghue, or the White Horse of Killarney, which Mr. Batty has prepared for the amusement of his Christmas patrons, is, as regards scenery, perhap s th e most beautiful, and as regards tricks and jt kes, tho most amusing that has been produced of late years, and we anticipate for it an immense success. Mr. Batty has, in the possession of his unequalled stud of highly-trained and beautiful horser, a great advantage over all competitors in the production of pieces of this naturr, an advantage of which he has admirably availed himself in harlequin and 0' Donoghue ; and, if we might venture for once to intrude upon the monopoly of prophecy, which has hitherto been the exclusive property of " The Spirit of the Turf," we should unhesitatingly " foretell" that in the forth coming race for the Grani Metropolitan Pantomime stakes, The White Horse of Killarney will come in a winner. OPERA HotisE.—The fallowing distinguished per sonages have visited the Grand National Concerts at the above theatre during the past week :—The French Ambas sador and prty, - the Netherlands Ministor and Mdlle. de Schimelpenzlinck, the Duke and Duchess of Leeds, the Duke de Coigny, the Marchioness of Conyngharn and Lord Alex ander Lennox, the Marquis of Douglas, the Earl and Coun tess of Chesterfield, the Earl and Countess Granville, Count and Lady Cecil de la Feld, Lord and Lady Dormer, Count de Rosen, Sir Henry Webbe, &c. DEATH OF LADY ABERDOUL—We regret to an nounce the demise of the above Noble Lady, which took place on Monday last, at Saughton House, N. 8., after a short illness. licr Ladyship was Helen, daughter of the late James Watson, Esq., of Saagitton House, Midlothian, and wife to Lord Aberdeur, to whom she was united 24th J,nuary, 1844. Iler Ladyship has left issue a son and heir, Sholto George, born November, 1844, and other issue. " FIVE MINUTES. " . —(From Punch's Alma= ch ) If a young lady says she will be ready in five minutes, it means the whole afternoon, or whole morning, as the case may be. If an omnibus says it is going to start in five minutes, it means half an hour at the very least. If an old gentleman in spectacles says you shall have the newspaper in five minutes, it means as long as you have the Twit nce to wait. In case of an appointment, when a person says "Le will ha back in less than five minutes," it means (impasFible to calculatL, as no person was ever known, to wait lengtr than an hour). In case of chaalbers, when a barrister writes up outside his door the same intimation, it means (the same un certainty as above). If the placard likewise says " Gone to Dinner," (it is more prudent ;:ot to wait at all.) Iu the case of an umbrella that is Lorrowed "just for five . minutes," it means d9ottsday, TIIE SHARE MARKETS. BRITISH RAILWAYS Rail ivays. Nominal Prices. Aberdeen.. Do.

On Monday will be held the important meeting which is to decide the acceptance or rejection of the proposals of the M. xicin Government for a settlement of its fo reign debt, and the committee have very judiciously, as upon former occasi.ns, pat forth a statement of their proceedings since the previous meeting. The bond holders, is order to go fully prepared to the meeting, should well study tte document we now advert to, and we give some of the more interesting parti culars:— " The arrears of interest, at the rate of five per cent. per annum, will, on the first of January next, amount to 2,048,330/.. or 10 2 11,650 dollars, being twenty per cent. on the converted debt of 10,241,6501. " The value* to the bonciholders, of the items offered in the above two articles, in satisfaction of these arrears, may be roughly estimated as follows : . ~ . Dolls. Cts.
