Setting aside the tact that a prodigal son, who plurges 410 dissi pation, is not preciaely the character one would select for an interesting lady, Miss Horton gave as much reality to the part as it was capable of sustaining. Her early scenes were particularly good, and her boyish tiptoe delight at the idea of seeing Memphis and hearing good music q•the took away the idea of a prodigal. and wade the audience think only of a high spirited lad, anxious to see the world, and, perhaps, to escape from his excellent but somewhat didactic parent's double-t , ais sermonizing. In the latter scenes the fire and intelligence displayed by Miss Horton give to the part the attrantion of a new one, and fetched up the energies of her colleagues, which had been slightly stagioating, as was najur4l after the very long run of the piece. Some music, judiciously in troduced into the part of -Azad, afforded the house the opportunity of hearing to advantage . no of the freshest and purest voices upon the. stage. We need hardly add that Misa Horton was enthusiastically applauded. lk N ARLBRO'-STREE f—(THIS DAY.) _OBSTRUCTING THE POLICE AT THE ExHIBITIoN.— L. ;Ilezan der Cremond, a coachman, in the service of a ladY of title, residi ng a t N o . 9, Arlington-street, Picea ' '• • d i ll 7, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with obstru ct i ng and assaulting police-consta bl e Cl ar k e , 268 1 ~ %, whilo in the execution of his duty. The officer stated, that about a quarter past six o'clock •;: ~ , . p . the previous evening he was on duty at the south s-NA of the Eihibition, when he saw the prisoner with a " tr iage awl pair of, horses. which he was driving back wards and forwards before the entrance, so as to prevent other carriages from taking up their parties. As the 'ruction caused great confusion, witness went "P and asked him if he was waiting for any „ The prisoner 'said, that was his bust 4.:.uest. Witness then told him, if he was tag to' take up at the Exhibition, he must 'l—* on Ithe . rank with the other carriages.

At such a as this, it the rules and regulations were not strictly enforced, many accidents would, no doubt, take place; :sad as the defendant bad expressed his sorrow he (Mr. th . ill ighsci) would not deal so severely ith the case as he h have 'done; but as a warning to other coachmen i felt bound t o commit the defendant for seven days far the assault on the constable. OLYMPIC THEATRE. A version of the Une Bataille des Dames was 'pro duced at this theatre last night, under the title of The Ladies' Battle, and waa most successful. The transla tion is perfectly literal, aad the cast is as follows: — Henri de .Flagvinitil, performed at the St. James's by Lafont, is personated by Mr. William Farren: jun ; Gustave de Grignon, performed by Regnier, is assigned to Mr. Leigh Murray. The megistrate, Wnitrichard, personated in the French by Roger, is given to Mr. Henry Farren. The Countess, which Mdlle. -Judith meets at the St. James's, is undertaken by Mrs. Stirling; and Mdlle. St. Marc's part, L , .onie. is sustained by Miss . Howard. The Countess of Mrs. Stirling is a p , rfeet gem; it is one of those parts combining pathos with wit . and high breeding, iu the representation of which Mrs. Stirling steeds alone, and the character of the Countess will henceforth take its place as arnorig the first, if not the very first, in her repertoire Next to the Countess of Mrs. Stirling corees the De Urignen of Mr. Leigh Murray ; he brought out the lights and shades of the poliroou hero with admirable tact and dis crimination. Mr. 11.4 nry Farren, as the Baron Mont richard, was admirable, and the Henri of Mr. W. Farren jun., eft's-deal satisfactory proof of the progress which that genii-man has made of late in his art. • Miss Louisa Howard made a most interesting Leonie, and, as might have been expected from such a comedy so cast, the success was complete, .and another excellent . play is added to the list Of Olympic amok pieces. ri 4 _ `IRRYING WATER LONG DISTANCES BY SYPHON.— Co mmon, Mr. B. Sargent, of Doctor-street, Walworth ",,,,non, who expresses a needless fear of being overlooked ' b 1 us because he is a working bricklayer, suggests that water trt" 4 7 be transferred, say to a distance of 800 feet, from a tod to a tank, by means of a syphon pipe, which might be ‘st Cusd With water, in the first place, through an opening or dries pipe at its higbest level while stop-cocks at the two o i.rrnities were turned so as to prevent its esress until the b lue e by which it entered was closed: the air might then e allowed to pass off at each extremity, and the pipe be I tt in-fille d up, when water from the pond would pass thr ough the syphon in a stream, once let on, into the tank ignx; of course, to a lower level than that of the water in b - o e , L P o nd; and would only cease to do so when the water in • t reeeptacles reached the same level, after which its et lsu would be resumed whenever water was withdrawn hem the tank by means of a common suction pump, as this 72 41 d destroy the equilibrium; thus, in effect, c nstituting • 7,0 .tank a full well so long as the pond would supply it.— oell LATE VISCOUNT Nzwur.—This Nobleman, . demise was recorded in our paper of yesterday, was wheat d emise of the Earl of Kilmorey, by Jane, daughter of rlrse Gun Cunninghame ' Esq., and was born in 1815. Pwdship married, in 1839, Anne Amelia, eldest daughter' the late Hon. Sir Charles Colville, G.C.B. and by her r V ls bad issue several children, including a son born in 1842, • ;V an infant born a few months since. The Noble Lord's ' t • ess was of a p ro t ra cted and severe nature. He was re• b.,, 111 / 1 ed,-to Parliament for the borough of Newry in 1841, and (17,„ "lee continued to represent it, generally support in g - vmservative principles. LIGHT AEI) POETABLE COUCHES. A sort of NE ultra of handiness in bedsteads for behoof of military emigrants, tourists, hotel and lodging-house keepers, • -14 ' , occupants of small houses short of bedrooms, has, by the rsrerful aid of angle iron, been invented by and registered r r• John Blair, of Irvine, Ayrshire. By an adaptation light angle iron in the construction of the framing of POrtable beds and couches, not only is extreme portability m ove], secured, but also peculiar facilities for erection and re v. -4 ?vel, whilst the constructive details possess great strength W_tthlittle material. A bed frame on this principle, 6 teet lathes in length by 3 feet in breadth, when packed away ~ ures only a little more than 3 feet in length and 2 1 4 'ue•stes square. The weight of those already made is said to only about 45,1bs in all; and a still lighter sort, with a _,.ghtly different construction , is spoken of as only to weigh 'mold 85 lbs. For camping out, a waterproof curtain is ~ added, may converts it into a kind of tent itself. Excur - ai ,clasts ay just need this sort of thing at Ike Great Exhi bti9l;, and, at all events, it will -suit the lodging-house eVers to . a T angle. The inventor, Mr. Blair, however, is one' of those most useful and important public officers so ranch needed' in England - a procurator fiscal, or public pro secutor- alsighly'respectable class of men in Scotland, but is not a manufacturer or tradesman : his invention, therefore, • • is not yet in mercantile hands, but might speedily be made available, we should think, if the metropolis become so over crowded as many anticipate.—Builder.

Mr. Green, jive, nunseif vire of int, most agile, grace ful, and skilful of fencers, has fitted up ono of the large saloons in Saville-house (better known to sight seers as Miss Liewoed s Gallery) as a gymnasium, in which every day an exhibition takes place of athletics and gymnastic sports and exercises. He has secured the services of some of the best fencers, swordsmen, single stick players, wrestlers, and sparrers in the kingdom. The following is the list of his corps:—Fencers, swords. men, &c.—Messrs. Prevost, Leon Gillematid, Winter •bettom:- Percy, Plett Parker, Herr Van der Mast, Chambers, Edwardes, &c. &c. Wrestlers—Ciimberland and Westmoreland—Dixon (the Champion), Nicholson, Caio, Pritchard, Taylor, Douglas, &c. &c.; Cornish and Devon—Bowden (the Char.pien) Triscott (ex-Cham pion), Dyer, Westlock, Bartlett, Sparrers— Alex. Keene, J. Welsh, Young Sarabo, Harri ' son, Dickeson, Hoiles, Scott, Madden, &c. &c. We were present yesterday at a special morning per formance, and were highly gratified with the manner in which the amusements were conducted. The wrestling, both Westmoreland and Cornish, was first-rate, seldom, indeed, has there been such a display of power and skill combined. The single-stick playing was admirable, and the fencing of Messrs . . Winterbottom and Chapman, Messrs. Winterbottom and Gillemand, and Messrs. Gillemand and Prevost, was most gradeful. Mr. Parker exhibited the Coro'-de-Lion feats of cutting a sheep in two by one blow of a sabre, severity a leg of mutton at one blow and cutting through a leaden ingot. while Mr. Winterbottom performed the Saladin feat of cutting through a silk handkerchief. There was a bayonet and sabre combat by Messrs. Parker and Campbell, in which the sabre had manifestly the advantage. We congratulate Mr. Green on the triumphant sue oess of his praiseworthy attempt to rescue the noble art of self-defence from the inglorious state into which it bad fallen through the vices of some of its pro fessors—perhaps the most graceful and elegant portion of the whole exhibition was the sparring of Messrs. Alexander Keene and Harrison. Instead of being stripped to the waist, as was formerly the custom with sparrers, these sparrers were attired in the usual fencing costume. The sparring itself was of the most scientific order, it was not a brutal battering, but a . friendly trial of skill, and from the elegance of the poses and the grace of the artistes it was quite as pleasing as the performances of the Risleys. Indeed, it was a perfect specimen of what may be Called drawing-room gymnastics. The ladies in the gallery were delighted with it, and applauded the sparring to the echo. There cannot be a doubt of the success of Mr. Green's under taking. Every lover of manly sports whO visits the me tropolis will make a point of going once at least to Savile House. TIM ^MANIFEST4TION OF THE Eaernes ROTATION* —Various paragraphs and articles have been since circulated, in which very u•lsuccessful attempts have been made to give an i telligible account of this fact to the general reader. In the face of these abortive efforts, some of them by men making first-rate pretensions to agronomical and scientific acuteness, we shall not presume to translate the abstract demonstation of cosmical lore into the ordinary parlance of miscellaneous readea ; but this we will say for the latter that the attempts to render this point intelligible have tailed, in many cases, not from the want of scientific pene trati' n on the part of the public ro much as from loose description and palpable error on the part of their self elected teachers. Tables have been said to rotate round their centre instead of round an axis—not so much theirs either as the earth's; pendulums have been described as vibrating for hours or days without the slightest hint how this was done—how or whether the effects of drafts, of torsion, of local vibration, were guarded against or allowed for—in what plane, whether meridianal or otherwise, the pendulum was made to vibrate in the outset, ase, kc• AO& notwithstanding such uncertainties, they were told that it was only " the unscientific mind" 'hat for a moment hesi tated to gulp down all the " common sense," cast like pearls before those who could not appreciate it; whereas, we verily believe, it was the unscientific alone who were at once car ried away by the ad captandum idea of the table rotating round ie s centre, with the earth's rotation, while the pendu lum measured out that rotation like fixed hands on a hori zontally rotating dialt—Builder. CURIOUS METEORoLoGICAL PHENOMENON. --A. rions meteorological phenomenon has just taken place at Lardabourg. in Calabria. A luminous meteor was perceived to fall on a barn, which it set on fire. Professor Tosti, who has given as account of the matter, mentions that this is only the second time that such an event has been known to take place. The other case occurred on the 13,11 of June, 1759, at Captieux, near Bazas, in France. The meteor there also set fire to a barn, in which a beggar had taken refuge. He was arrested under a charge of incendiarim, and taken to Bordeaux. He declared in the most solemn manner that he was innocent; but he would, notwithstanding, have been certainly condemned had not the Abh6 'Nolte, then cele brated as a natural philosopher, examined the'premise% and having found among the rubbish the aerolite that had fall , n, exerted himself in favour of the poor man. and got him ac- , quitted. The phenomenon mentioned by Professor Tosti was witnessed by several persons. GERMAN PASSPORTS FOR ENGLAND.—A.ccording to the German papers, all the German Governments have son eluded a treaty by which . passports -delivered by consular agents and Eng ish ambassadors do not preserve those to whom they are granted from expulsion, this favour being only acc )rded to passports examined in England by the Prussian Minister. The protection England often awards to , refugees has given rise to this treaty. ROTAL WESTMINSTER OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL. ..

One of the specimens of charred wood engraving, executed 'by. that &ever artist, Mr. Lseph Mitchell, of Kennington, and on view at the Exhibition , affords an opportunity of-cor recting a popular error in connexion with an exquisite branch of the fin Arts. The subject is " John, the ,I3ap tist," which is taken from a very valuable engraving, exe cuted by Prince Rupert, from a painting b y Spauioletti, and now preserved in the .13ritish Museum. Prince- Rupert is generally supposed to be the originator of the art of Mem tint engraving. But, through the careful and unwearied re searches of the erudite Dr. Diamond (who has written a valuable work on the subject) it is clearly proved that this species of engraving was known at a far antecedent period ; and, in fact, there are at this moment several specimens of a much earlier date to be seen in the Museum col'ection. Although, however, the gifte4 Prince loses the 'credit of in vention, it is unquestionably certain be succeeded in bringing the art to a high order of perfection—so much so, that we may safely assert none have ever surpassed him. As the pro ductions of Mr. Mitchell's studio are attracting a good deal of interest just now, the above remark may not be considered worthless. .• _ THE MAILS.-..SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY, MAN 7.—The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Um pany's ship Jupiter, Captain F.
