Signor Ciaffei has been 101 1 g a favourite with the Roman public, and has re t autly appeared with considerable success in Sweden, and we believe also in Russia. Signor Ciaffei, although no longer in sa premiere jeunesse, is still capable of sus forraed t aining youthful charaers, for h is tall, well , and has good features. e His voice is pure, light tenor, without a barytone note in it; it is moreover somewhat thin, and his intone tion is somew h a t unce rtain; his aria d'intrata "Quanto e bells," was anything but promising , but he ral lied as he Pr9ceeded and gave the beautiful "Una furtive" with such taste. He gave a perfectly original version of the part o f N emor i no so f ar as ac ting was concerned, making 1111 a gauche and awkward peasant, such a peasant as might imagine would have been taken in by ninamera. This, although it may at first I ; , ` l l° elt the conventional notions of those who h ave b een used to t h e D res d en china style of Mario's °etnotin o , is certainly the mote truthful if not the more graceful version of the part. Madame Viardot, as I:*dine, was full of sprightliness and espieglerie; Tam titlirini was, as he always has been, the best Belcore on th e Stage; and Ronconi, although he greatly over-acted o Part, was exceedingly amusing as Dulcamara.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITU TION.—A special general meeting of the friends and sub scribers to this institution was held on Saturday last, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of taking into consideration such portion of the rules of the society as bear upon the election of annuitants. Mr. Jenkin Jones in the chair. The chairman said, in his opinion, there should be an election of one or more annuitants before Christ mas. He was sure that if an election was to take place it would tend more than anything else to the success of that in stitution, which he was certain they all had at heart. Mr. J. Aden moved a resolution to the efiect that as soon as the state of the funds of the society shall enable the board of management to grant two or more annuities, they have power granted them so to act. Mr. J. Peill seconded the resolution, which, on being put from the chair, was carried unanimously. Mr. W. G. B. Gunton, in referring to the im proved prospects of the institution, stated that he believed there were very few instances on record of an institution like this meeting with so much success in so short a period, and from that circumstance he.augured a gratifying and prosper ous result. A vote of thanks was then moved and carried, thanking the chairman for his urbanity in taking the chair, which having been acknowledged, the meeting separated. On Saturday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, a policeman on duty near London-bridge discovered smoke issuing through the fan-light over the shop-door of one of the large houses in Duke-street. immediately at the rear of Tooley-street, belonging to Mr. Alderman Hum phery, but occupied by Messrs. J. Wynn and Ca., boot and shoemakers. The policeman immediately sent for the en• gines. Several quickly arrived on the spot, and in a very short time the fire was extinguished, before any material damage was done. The origin of the outbreak is unknown. EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR —We hear from a private source that a rather extraordinary case is likely shortly to occupy the attention of the Bristol District Court of Bank ruptcy. So long ago as 1769, a person, named Constable, became bankrupt, and his affairs were wound up. It so happened that some time before his failure he had made a deposit of 5001. in one of the Bristol banks, but, through some inadvertence, the deposit note was overlooked, among the rest of the papers, and no mention was made of it either in the balance-sheet or any of the proceedings under the fiat. Constable shortly afterwards died; and, in the course of years, a change took place in the banking firm, and in the arrangement of the private affairs of the partners at this time (1820) the 5001. deposited by old Constable was paid away to one of the re ti r ing partners. Through a series of almostbankru romantic circumstances, the papers in Constable's bafell,nkruptcy solicitor mi t with somef this o n i t t h y e , r s w , into hn tinhe e respectable py other documents, alighted s h a r a h d i sti of f a o or s g o h m l) (3 ' for 5001., Which hadsun upon the deposit note of Constable thus been lying at compound in terest, at 2 per cent., during nearly a century, and which has accumulated to the large sum of 1,7081. The gentle man who made this discovery at once communicated the fact to the official assignees. A ll the creditors and the other persons interested in the bankruptcy have long since died ; but it was resolved to try to obtain this money for their re presentatives. With this view it is intended to reopen the fiat, under the power given by the Bankrupt Law Consolida tion Act, and for that purpose an application will shortly be made to one of the Learned Commissioners for this district.— Bristol Gazette.

A CHILD KILLED WITH DR. COFFIN'S MEDICINE. —VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST AN AGENT. — On Friday afternoon Mr. W. Baker, the coroner, and a jury. resumed an adjourned inquiry at the Bell Tavern, Ratcliff-highway, which lasted until a late hour last hirtee night, conc erning the death of Henry Stewart Davis , aged n years, an idiot, who died from the effects of medicine admi nistered by Mr. John Stevens, an agent for the sale of Dr. Coffin's various compounds. Lengthened evidence having been produced, the jury announced that they had unani mously agreed to a verdict of " Manslaughter against John Stevens ;" and the Coroner then made out his warrant for the committal of Mr. Stevens, who was conveyed in a cab to Newgate, to await his trial. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATIL—A terrible instance of the uncertainty of human life occurred on Friday last at Plymouth. A poor woman named Ann Martin, who had previously enjoyed excellent health, was standing by her fireside, talking in a lively strain to the members of her fa mily, when she suddenly fell to the ground a corpse. Dr. Fuge, of Plymouth, was immediately cared in, but he de clared that death must have ensued instantaneously. HARROW, JULY 26.—This day Mr. H. M. Butler, son of the Dean of Peterborough, was elected scholar on the Gregory foundation. THE SCALP-BUNTERS. 3 Vols. By Cap tain Mayne Reid., C. .1. Skeet. Captain Mayne Reid has genius. He is not a mere book-maker for the circulating libraries. Whatever he may call his literary productions, they are entitled to more commendation than is usually awarded to the three-volume novelist. His "Rifle Rangers" have already gained him popularity. His " Scalp -Hunters" may confirm that popularity by establishing for its author a certain reputation. In a very modest bat manly "Preface," Captain Reid forewarns his reader that he is "a coarse, crude, and careless writer," la menting at the same time that he lacks " those classic sympathies" which enable many of his brethren of the pen to give such " elegant expression to their thoughts"—all of which deprecatory and apologetic remarks, graceful though they be when contrasted with the self-sufficient arrogance of irredeemable mediocrity, cannot but be regarded on the present oc casion as altogether inapplicable, and consequently al together superfluous. if our author is devoid in several instances of the customary adroitness of the craft, he possesses that which compensates for every such deficiency, the divine afflatus which we have in our opening sentence ex plicitly mentioned as his most noticeable character istic. Reviewers, unfortunately, have to wade through a vast deal of rubbish in their researches after the true and the beautiful. Considering the grievous amount of twaddle we have to encounter, it really appears to us at times that there is some excuse for us poor critics, if we occasionally evince a little petu lance of temperament. Hours sometimes wasted in poring over a work of the most tedious and unmeri torious description constitute assuredly not the most exhilarating preparative for the inditing of commen taries. Precisely, however, in proportion to the an noyance experienced in turning over volumes thus blameworthy, is the delight felt at others whose excellences enthral our attention and wake up our blunted sympathies to a certain enthusiasm of ad miration. An effusion of this nature is the one here under consideration. Having perused, or rather de voured, as the phrase is, these romantic adven tures from their commencement to their conclusion, with a curiosity which became only . enhanced with the opening of each successive chapter, having found our regard rivetted to the nar rative with more and more eagerness at the disclo sure of its numerous and extraordinary incidents, we must, if only in gratitude to the writer who has thus powerfully appealed to our imagination, commend his work as a production of remarkable and enthral ling attractions. Captain Mayne Reid insists at the outset, as he did, if we remember rightly, in reference to the " Rifle Rangers," that many of the events recounted are realities, and that the book possesses therefore the merit of being something more than altogether fictitious. Now, according to our opinion the beauties of Ossian are in no degree dependent upon the amount of credit yielded to the assertions of Macpherson, and those of Homer are as illustrious whether they be traceable to one bard or a thousand. We accept the traveller's record, coming to us as it does most acceptably, with a benison and a gramercie. It helps to amuse us, to wile away an hour that might otherwise bang heavily, and, while affecting us thus agreeably, it brings to our minds very vividly the landscapes, the manners, and the population of Northern IViexico, the country in which these occurrences, imaginary or not, are said to have transpired. Therefore we receive the work with thankfulness, and with a credence in our author which adds very wonderfully to the force of his descriptions. The " Scalp- Hunters" may be viewed as strictly autobiographical in their character, M. Henry Haller speaking to us in the first person throughout. At St. Louis he joins a M. St. Vrain with other Prairie merchants trading to Santa F 6 and Chihuahua, being himself an idle young blade in aearch of the picturesque. Having proceeded as far as the capital of Northern Mexico, the hero is wounded in a fracas arising out of the Fandango, and is detained in the city, while his comrades proceed on their expedition. Recovered soon afterwards from his wound, Haller endeavours to overtake the merchants, but in so doing is prostrated by the accumulated horrors of the Jornada. Here it is that in the midst of his calamities he is saved from destruction by Seguin, the scalp-hunter. The last-mentioned character is finely delineated, and is the central figure round which all the others may be said to revolve, and upon which all their interest may be said to be dependent. Saved by Seguin, and falling afterwards in love with his daughter Zoe, Haller is induced to join the former in one of his great scalp-hunting expeditions. It must be premised, however, that the leader of this blood thirsty enterprise proves, on inquiry, to be by no means the monster he is generally reputed, but, on the contrary, his ferocity is resolved into an evi dence of paternal tenderness. Adele, his other daughter, has been stolen in her infancy by the Na vajoes, and all his efforts against them are made with a view to her recovery. This, immediately before the close of the narrative, is effected, and the heart of the scalp-hunter gladdened by the prospective nup tials of Adele with St. Vrain, as well as of Zoe with Haller. It is in the fluctuating fortunes of the scalp hunters, however, in the course of this expedition that the chief and engrossing attraction of the work is discoverable. The narrative of their vicissi tudes is one of resistless fascination. Several of the personages introduced into the princi pal group are characters which might have reflected honour upon some of our most successful novelists. El Sol, for example, might have been painted by Fen nimore Cooper, and have added yet another brilliant figure to his memorable gallery of Redskins. ,Old Rube, again, would have reflected credit on the author of " Saar Slick," and the paternity would not, we are satisfied, have been disdained by Judge Hall- Burton. The vividness with which our author con trives to describe to the comprehension of readers un acquainted with those localities the aspect of Mexican scenery may be mentioned as among not the least ad mirable of his peculiarities. Accordingly, as he wishes it, we are with him in the winter forests at midnight, listening—not to the tree-frog or the cicada—but to the crackling knots in the bivouac fire, to the coo whoo- a of the white owl, to the bark of the racoon, or to the howling of the wolves ; we are there again in autumn, watching among the withered foliage the plumage of the western birds, "the golden green of the paroquet, the blue of the jay, and the orange wing of the oriole," observing " the red bird flutter lower down in the coppice of green pawpaws, or amidst the amber leaflets of the beechen thicket;" we hearken to the rattle-snake " gliding under the scanty shade," and watch with furtive eyes the coyote as it " skulks through the silent glades" of an impassable under wood. With a single epithet sometimes the writer impresses the appearances of that astonishing land upon our imaginations, as where he calls the Rocky Mountains, the American Andes, " the colossal ver tebrver- tebraeof the continent." Equally graphic are his de scriptions of the frivolity and effeminacy of Mexican society, ex. gr. where we are made to listen in the ball-room at Santa Fe to this significant little dia logue—" Have you heard of the electric telegraph ?" " No, Senor." " Can you tell us what a railroad is ?" " Quien Sabe ?" "La Polka?" "Ah ! Senor, la polka, la polka, cosa buenita, tan graciosa! vaya !" Humorous as some of the passages in the " Scalp- Hunters" are, as may be perceived by reference to Rube's account of the turkey-buzzard, or again the same old trapper's dodge to secret him self in the cave when hunted by the Navajoes, other passages are marked by a grace and a tenderness equally conspicuous. Witness this, that first portraiture of Zoe, where it is , said so beautifully —" it was not a woman that held my gaze captive, but a child, a girl, a maid, standing upon the threshold of womanhood, ready to cross it at the first summons of Love !" Witness it again, that lovely portion of the episode in which, by a novel device, eminently bewitching, Haller reveals his love to Zoe, and—is answered. Occasionally, it must be remarked, that a certain habit of ungrammatical expression in the potential mood (instanced in Vol. 1., pp. 46, 237, in Vol. 11., pp. 21, 158, and in Vol. 111., p. 170, in short, passim) blurs the charm of the style, and in duces one for the moment almost to mistake the work for the effusion either of an Irishman or a foreigner. This, nevertheless, is but a minute blemish, indeed, when balanced against the numerous and brilliant merits with which the production otherwise abounds throughout. Better immeasurably, however, than the most earnest eulogium, will be a few illustrative quotations. Take, therefore, the subjoined passage, descriptive of ;THE WEED PRAIRIE. " I stand in an open plain. I turn my face to the north, to the south, to the east, and to the west ; and, on all sides, behold the blue circle of the heavens gird ling around me. Nor rock, nor tree breaks the ring of the horizon. What covers the broad expanse between? Wood ? water ? grass? No—flowers I As far as my eye can range, it rests only on flowers—on beautiful flower s II am looking as on a painted map—an ena melled picture brilliant with every hue of the prism.

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, LITERATURE. " This 13 the arced prairie.' is misnamed. It is the Garden of God." . . That, we tali-. 3 it, is a noble specimen of our author's eloquence, and one which sufficiently testifies his capacity as the depictor of a landscare. Listen again to his mention of as like the bitter anger which the superior feels to wards his resis.ing interior—the lord to his rebellious erf—the master to his lashed slate, who hus; turned and struck him! It was thus the hunters kit. " I glanced along their line. I never save fees with such expressions as I saw there and then. Their lips were white, and drawn tightly over their teeth, Their cheeks were set and colourless, and their eyes, protruding for ward, seemed glued in their sockets! There was no motion to be detected in the features of any, save the twitching of angry muscles. Their right hands were buried in the bosoms of their half-open shirts—each, I knew, grasping a weapon—and they appeared not to sit, but to crouch forward like panthers quivering upon the spring! " There was a long interval of silence upon both sides. " It was broken by a cry from without—the scream of the war-eagle! " We should not have noticed this—knowing that these birds were common in the Mircbres, and one might have ilJwn over the ravine—but we thought, or fancied, that it had mAde an impression on our adversaries. They were men not apt to show any sudden emotion; but it appeared to us that, all at once, their glai,cea grew holLier and mo:e triumphant! Ceuld it Lave been a signal? -" We liitened for a moment. The scream was re peated; and alihough it was exactly after the manner of a bird well known to us—the white-headed eagle—we sat with unsatisfied and fearful apprehensions. " The young chief—he in the huzzir dress—was upon his feet. lie had been the most turbulent and exactiug of our oppouenta. He was a man of most villanous and licentious character—so Dube had told us—tut, never theless, holding great power among the braves. It was he who had spoken in refusal of Seguin'a offer; and he was now abut to assign his reasons. We knew them without that. " Why,' said he, looking at Sequin as he spoke ' why is it that the white chief is so desirous of choosing among our captives? Is it that be wishes to get back the yellow-haired maiden?' " He paused a moment, as if for a reply; but. Seguin made none. "' If the white chief believes our Queen to be his daughter, weuld he not wish that her sister should be her companion, and return with her to our land?' " Again he paused; but as before, Seguin remained silent. " The speaker proceeded. " ' Why not let the yellow-haired maiden return with us, and become my wife? Who am I, that ask this? A chief of the Navajoes, the descendants of the great Mocteruma— the son of their King!' " The savage looked around him with a vaunting air, as he uttered these words. " • Who is she,' he continued, that lam thus begging for a bride? The daughter of ono who is not even re spected among his own people! the daughter of a culatta " I looked at Seguin. I saw his form dilating. I saw the big veins swelling along his throat. I saw the wild expression I had once before noticed gathering in his eyes. I knew that the crisis was near. " Again the eagle screamed! " But no!' proceeded the savage, seeming to draw now boldness from the signal; I will beg no more. I love the white maiden. She must be mine! and this very night she shall sleep-' "He never finished the sentence. Seguin's bullet had sped, piercing the centre of his forehead. I caught n glimpse of the red round hole, with the circle of blue powder; and the victim fell forward on his face! " All together we sprang to our feet. As one man rose hunters and Indians. As if from one throat pealed the double shout of defiance; and, as if by one hand, knives, pistols, and tomahawks were drawn together. The next moment we closed and battled! " Oh! it was a fearful strife, as the pistols cracked, the long knives glittered, and the tomahawks swept the air—a tearful, fearful strife! "You would suppose that the first shock should have prostrated both ranks. It was not so. The early blows of a struggle like this are wild, and well parried; and human late is hard to take. What were the lives of men like these? " A few fell. Some reeoiled from the collision, wounded and bleeding, but still to battle again. Some fought hand to hand; while several pairs had clutched, and were striving to fling each other in the desperate wrestle of death! "Some rushed for the door, intending to fight outside. A few got out, but the crowd pressed against it—the door closed—dead bodies fell behind it—we fought in darkness! "We had light enough for our purpose. The pistols flashed at quick intervals, displaying the horrid picture. The light gleamed upon fiend-like faces—upon red and waving weapons—upon prostrate forms of men—upon others struggling in every attitude of deadly conflict ! " The yells of the Indians, and the not less savage shouts of their whitefoemen, had continued from the first; but the voices grew hoarser, and the shouts were changed to groans, and oaths, and short, earnest excla mations. At intervals we heard the quick percussions of blows, and the dull sodden sound of falling bodies. " The room became filled with:smoke, and dust, and choking sulphur; and the combatants were half stifled as they fought! 1 . At the first break of the battle I had drawn my revolver, and fired it in the faces of the closing foemen. I had fired shot after shot—some at random, others di rected upon a victim. I had not counted the reports, until the cock " checking " on the steel nipple, told me I had gone the round of the six cbambsrs. "This bad occupied but as many seconds of time. Mechanically I stuck the empty weapon behind my belt; and guided by an impulse, made for the door. Before I could reach it, it was closed; and I saw that to get out was impossible! " I turned to search for an antagonist. I was not long in finding one. By the flash of a pistol, I saw one of the Indians rushing upon me with an upraised hatchet. Up to this time something had himkred me from drawing my knife. It was now too late; and, holding cut my arms to catch the blow, I ducked my head towards the savage. "I felt the keen edge cutting the flesh as it glanced along my shoulder. I was but slightly wounded. He had missed his aim from my stooping so suddenly; but the impetus brought our bodies together, and the next moment we grappled! " We stumbled over a heap of rock, and for some mo ments struggled together upon the ground—neither able to use his weapon. Again we rope, still locked in the angry embrace—again we were falling with terrible fuse e . Something caught us in our descent. It shook. It g a ve way with a crashing sound • and we fell head- long into the broad and brilliant light! I was dazzled and blinded. I heard behind me a strange rumbling, like the noise made by falling timbers! But I heeded not that. I was too busy to speculate upon causes. " The sudden shock had separated us; and both rose at the same instant—again to grapple, and again to come together to the earth. We twisted, and wriggled over the ground, among the weeds and thorny cacti. I was every minute growing weaker, while the sinewy savage —uEed to such combats—seemed to be gaining fresh nerve and breath. Thrice he had thrown me under; but each Mlle I had clutched his right arm, and prevented the deoending blow. I had succeeded in drawing my knife Be we fell through the wall; but my arm was also held fast, and I was unable to use it. " As we came to the ground for the fourth time, my antagonist fell under me. A cry of agony passed from his lips,—his head toggled,' over among the weeds — and he lay in my arms without struggling! I felt his grasp gradually relaxing. I looked in his fac e . his eyes were glassy and torted. Blood was gurg ling through his teeth. I saw that he was dead! .4 To my astonishment I saw this, for I knew I had not struck him as yet. I was just drawing my arm from under him to do so, when I noticed that he ceased to resist. But the knife now caught my eye. It was red — blade and haft—and so was the hand that clasped it! As we fell I had held it, accidentally, point upwards. My antagonist had fallen upon the blade. I now thought of my betrothed, and entwining my self from the lithe and nerveless limbs of the savage, I rose to my feet. The ranche was in flames! The roof had fallen in upon the brazero; and the dry sh i ngles had caaught the blaze. Men were crawling out from the burning ruin; but not to run away. No! under it s licking flames, amidst the hot smoke, they still battled—fierce, and foaming, and frenzied!" Besides this most appalling incident of bloodshed— an incident all the more terrible, seeing that it is founded upon an actual occurrence—we encounter in these three volumes a multiplicity of others no less thrilling in their character. Such incidents, for ex ample, as Haller's ride upon a buffalo, as his slowly sinking in a quicksand, as his perilous situation dur ing the fight at the Fandasigo, as his dangling over the precipice in a state of delirium, as the detention for " three days in the trap," as the buffalo " sur rond" a really ghastly display of adroitness on the part of the Red-skins, as the tremendous battle in the Canon, as the fight upon the cliff, and the last des perate escape of the hero from the valley of the Na vajoes. For ourselves, we must acknowledge, that a book of more truly: absorbing interest has not for a considerable time fallen in our way, and through it for a great entertainment, therefore, we are indebted to the recounter of these romantic adventures. They yield promise, we conceive, of large success to Captain Mayne Reid as a novelist. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Major the Hon. James Macdonald, honoured the performances at her Majesty's Theatre on Saturday evening with his presence. Amongst the fashionable company present in the theatre were his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the Duke and Duchess of Cleveland and Lady Augusta Paulett, the Duchess of Beaufort, his Excellency the Russian Minister and the Baroness Brunnow, his Excellency the Swedish Minister, the Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury, the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Marquis of Ely, the Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, the Earl and Countess of Jersey and Lady Clementina Villiers, the Earl of Wilton, the Earl and Countess of Malmesbury and the Ladies Hermione and Ulrica St. Maur, the Earl and Countess of Glengall and Lady Margaret Butler, the Earl of Westmoreland, the Earl of Munster, the Earl of Bective, and the Countess of Harbourough. The Queen's box was occupied by Lady Bateman, the Hon. Misses Hanbury, Colonel and Mrs. Bou verie, and party. There were also present Viscount Cran bourne, Lord Seymour, the Prince Troubetskoi, the Count and Countess de Morella, Lady Pigott, Lady Vincent, Lord and Lady Foley, Lord George Paget, Lady Cranworth, Count Graben, Lady Eden, Lady Emily do Burgh, Sir Ralph and Lady Howard, General the Hon.

" The tortillera, kneeling by her vetate, bruises the boiled maize, claps it into thin cakes, flings it ou the heutrA stone, am( then cries, Tortilas ! tortillas ca ientes!'

Carbon! carbon!' cries the charcoat.burner. ' Aqua! aqua limpia!' shouts the aquador 6. Pan fino! pan blanco!' screams the baker; and other cries from the venders of atole, huevos, and lechi, are uttered in shrill, discordant voices. Such are the voices of a Mexican piazza.'" While journeying once or twice across the Jornada, the author takes occasion to pour tray with his lu minous pencil the marvellous phenomena of the wil derness, illusions like the mirage, the fata morgana, and the phantoms of the Bracken. Here is his ac count of THE PILLARS OF SAND. " A trop cal sun glances up from the brilliant surfece, and we are almost blinded by the refracted rays. Tlle wind blows more lightly; and clouds of dust load the air, sweeping slowly along! " We push forward without guide or any object to in dicate our course. We are soon in tie midst of be wilderment. A scene of seeming encaantment springs up around us. Vast towers of sand, borne up by the whirl-blast, rise vertically to the sky. They move to and fro ov(r the plain. They are yellow and luminous. Tha sun glistens among their floating crystals. They move slowly, but they are approaching us! " I behold them with feelings of awe. I have heard of travellers lifted in their whirling vortex, and dashed back again from fearful heights! " The pack mule, frightened at the phenomenon, breaks the lasso, and scampers away among the ridges. G 024 has galloped in pursuit. lam alone. " Nine or ten gigantic columns now appear, and stalk over the plain, circling gradually around me! There is something unearthly in the appearance. They resemble creatures of a phantom world. They seem endowed with demon life! " Two of them approach each other. There is a short gusty struigle, that ends in their mutual destruction. The sand is precipitated to the earth; and the dust floats off in dim shapeless masses. " Several have shut me within a space, and are slowly closing. My dog howls and barks. My horse cowers with affright, and shivers between my thighs, uttering terrified expressions! "I am irresolute. I sit in my saddle waiting the re sult, with an indescribable feeling. My ears are filled with a buzzing sound, like the hum of machinery. My eyes distort the natural hues into a fiery brightness. My brain reels. Strange objects appear. The fever is upon me! " The laden currents clash in their wild torsion. lam twisted round, and torn from my saddle—my eyes, mouth, ears, are filled with dust. Sand, stones, and branches strike me spitefully in the face; and I am flung with violence to the earth!" As really admirable examples of Captain Reid's skill in sketching off the more remarkable specimens of humanity discoverable in Northern Mexico, take these three miniature daguerreotypes : TILE MEXICAN FREEBOOTER. " Calzoneros, of green velveteen. These are cut after the fashion of sailors trowsers—short waist, tight round the hips and wide at the bottoms, where they . are strength ened by black leather, stamped and stitched ornament ally. The outer seams are split from hip to thigh, slashed with braid, and set with rows of silver castle stops. These seams are open—for the evening is warm —and underneath appear the calzoncillos of white mus lin, hanging in wide folds around the ankles. The boot is of calf-skin, tanned but not blackened. It is reddish, rounded at the toe, and carries a spur at least a pound in weight, with a rowel three inches in diameter. The spur is curiously fashioned, and fastened to the boot by straps of stumped leather. Little bells—campanillos— hang from the teeth of the rowels, and tinkle at the slightest motion of the foot. Look upwards. The cal zoneros are not braced, but fastened at the waist by a silken sash or scarf. It is scarlet. It is passed several times round the body, and made.fast behind, where the fringed ends hang gracefully over the left hip. There is no vest. A jacket of dark cloth, embroidered and tightly fitting; short behind—a la Gree—leaving the skirt to puff out over the scarf: The shirt itself exhibits the triumphant skill of some dark-eyed poblana. Over all this is the broad brimmed shadowy sombrero—a heavy hat of black glaze, with its thick band of silver bullion. There are tags of the same metal stuck in the sides, giving it an appearance altogether unique. Over one shoulder is hanging—half folded—the picturesque scrape. A belt and pou,h, an escapotte upon which the hand is resting, a waist-belt with a pair of small pistols stuck under it, a long Spanish knife suspended obliquely across th© left hip, complete the tout ensemble of him whom I have chosen to describe." TEIE TRAPPER. "He stands, leaning on his long, straight rifle,looking into the fire. He is six feet in his moccasons; and of a build that suggests the idea of strength and Saxon an cestry. His arms are like young oaks; and his hand, 4:rasping the natizzte of his gun, is large, fleshless, and muscular. His cheek is broad and firm. It is partially covered by a bushy whisker, that meets over the chin, and fringes all around the lips. It is neither fair or dark ; but of a dull brown colour, lighter around the mouth, where it has been bleached by the sun, amber,' and water. The eye is grey, or bluish grey, and slightly curved at the corner. It is well set, and rarely wanders. It seems to look into you, rather than at you. The hair is brown, and of a medium length (cut no doubt on his lust visit to the trading post, or the settlements); and the complexion, although dark as a mulatto, is only so from tan. It was once fair—a blonde. The countenance is not unprepossessing. It might to be styled handsome. Its whole expression is bold, but good-humoured and generous. " The dress of the individual described is of home manufacture—that is, of his home, the prairie, and the wild mountain park—where the material has been brought by a bullet from his rifle. It is the work of his own hands—unless, indeed, he may be one who, in his moments of lassitude, has shared his cabin with some Indian damsel, Sioux, Crow, or Cheyenne. " It consists of a hunting shirt of dressed deer-skin, smoothed to the softness of a glove. Leggings reaching to the waist, and moccasons of the same material-791c latter soled with the parflecieOf the buffalo. The shirt is belted at the waist, but open at the breast and throat, where it falls back into a graceful cape, just covering the shoulders. Underneath is seen the undershirt, of a finer material—the dressed skin of the antelope, or the faw❑ of the fallow-deer. Oa his head is a racoon cap, with the face of the animal looking to the front ; while the barred tail hangs like a plume drooping down to his left shoulder. " His accoutrements aro a bullet pouch, made from the undressed skin of the mountain cat, and a huge crescent-shaped horn, upon which he has carved many a strange souvenir. His arms consist of a long knife, a bowie, and a heavy pistol,; carefully secured by hol sters to the leathern belt around his waist. Add to this a rifle nearly five feet long, taking ninety to the pound, and so straight, that the line of the barrel scarcely de flects from that of the butt! " But little attention has been paid to ornament in either his dress, arms, or equipments; and yet there is a gracefulness in the bang of his tunic-like shirt—a sty lishness about the fringing of the cape and leggings, and a jauntiness in the set of that coonskin cap, that shows the wearer to bo not altogether unmindful of his per sonal appearance. A small pouch or case, neatly em broidered with stained porcupine quills, hangs upon his breast." THE DELAWARE INDIAN. " Most of them wore hunting shirts, not made of deer skin—like those of the whites—but of calico, printed in bright patterns. This dress, handsomely fashioned and fringed, under the accoutrements of the Indian warrior, presented a striking appearance. But that which chiefly distinguished the costumes of both the Delaware and Shawans, from that of their white allies, was the head dress. This was, in fact, a turban, formed by binding the head with a scarf or kerchief of a brilliant colour — such as may be seen in the dark creoles of Hayti. In the group before me no two of these turbans were alike, yet they were all of a similar character. The finest were those made by the the quered kerchiefs of Madras. Plumes surmounted them, of coloured feathers, from the wing of the war eagle, or the blue plumage of the gruya. " For the rest of their costume they wore deerskin leggings and moccasons, nearly similar to those of the trappers. The leggings of some wore ornamented with scalp locks along the outer seam, exhibiting a dark his tory of the wearer's prowess. I noticed that their mix:- casons were peculiar, differing altogether from those worn by.the Indians of the prairies. They were seamed up the fronts, without braiding or ornament, and ga thered into a double row of plaits. " The arms and equipments of these warrior men were like those of the white hunters. They hare long since discarded the bow; and, in the management of the rifle, most of them can ' draw a bead,' and hit ' plum centre,' with any of their mountain associates. In ad. dition to the firelock and knife, I noticed that they still carried the ancient, weapon of their race—the fearful tomahawk." Another characteristic, and unquestionably the most extraordinary of all, by which Captain Mayne Reid has already rendered himself conspicuous among ou r writers of imagination, is that of a most fruitful, we might almost say, inexhaustible invention—itaven. tion, we mean, in regard to plot and incident. Throughout the " Scalp-HuntErs the plot is p er . petually rising up to a climax, while its incidents are mostly of a nature so marvellous in their horror 83 to keep the reader in breathless suspense until their termination. Of this a single extract will be the most conclusive demonstration. Read, therefore, the brief chapter here given, descriptive of " A CONFLICT wrrii CLOSED DOORS. " We no longer doubted what was to be the winding I up of the negotiation. The air was filled with the elec tricity of anger. Hate kindled hate, and vengeance WAS burning in every eye. " The Indians scowled at us, glancing malignantly out of their oblique orbs. There was triumph, too, in their looks, for they believed themselves far stronger than we ! " On the other side eat the hunters quivering under is double indignation—l say double. I can hardly explain what I mean. They had never before been so braved by Indians. They had all their lives been accustomed— partly from bravado and partly from actual experience —to consider the red men their inferiors in subtlety and courage; and to be thus bearded by them filled the hunters, as 1 have said, with a double indignation. It J ULY 28, 1851. SOYER'S SYMPOSIUM A most interesting as well us elegant entertainment took place at Gore House, on Saturday Fist. A committee was recently formed in Paris, under the auspices of M. Emile de Girardin, for the purpose of defraying the ex penses of fifteen of the most approved French ouvricrs to London to inspect the productions of industrial skill collected within the Crystal Palace; and to these intelli gent gentlemen M. Soyer extended his hospitality on that day. Several English guests were likewise invited by the Amphitryon to meet these visitors from the Parisian to the English metropolis. Of the recktrch6 nature of the dinner suffice it to say that M. Soyer evinced his highest talents on the occasion. Tho only drawback was the absence of M. do Girardin, who was to have occupied the chair, but was compelled to depart for Paris in the morning. A letter from that emi nent journalist to M. Soyer was read in the course of the evening, expressive of the profound regret which he experienced from this unavoidable ab• sence. The presidential post was very ably sustained by Mr. Henry Vincent, who took the chair precisely st six o'cleck. After dlikner the loving cup went round, a ceremonial which seemed equally to surprise and delight the foreign guests. The CHAIR➢ I. then proposed " II(r Mt jes'y the Qdecia arid his Royal Highness Prince Albtrt, ' obsery lug that although never disposed to pay ti.:;tery to great peisonages, he felt bound to say that the domestic virtues and encouragement of the arts evinced by that illu,tricus pair had justly endeared Ilium to the atlections of all classes. Drunk with three times three and repeated cheers, in which " Messieurs les etningers" enthusiastically par tici veted. The CHAIRMAN next gave the toast of the evening, which he prefaced by an address in the French lan guage, in which he highly eulogised the exertions of the Peace Congress, and concluded by saying that next to the efficacy of Christianity in promoting the happiness of men came the spirit of national fraternity—the noblest example of which was to be found in the alliance and sympathy of France and England—" Aux ouvriers do la France." The VIcE-PRESIDENT, M. Larchet (President des ouvriers). acknowledged the toast, and gave " Les tra vailleurs Francais aux travailleurs Anglais." " The union of the people of the North and South" was next proposed by M. POTONIE, commercant de Paris, who spoke as follows : " Ce won travailleurs Francais, trouve deja un echo favorable dans l'enthousiasme qui nous anime depuis les quelq' jours que vous etes a Londres. Et en effet quels peuples voisins, mieux que l'Angleterre et La France, seraient capable de s'eatimer et de se comprendre non par en depit, mais en vertu de leurs nuances diverses ? L'Angleterre representant la civilization du nord, la France representant la civilization du midi ; ici, le ter rain plus special des efforts, chez nous le terrain plus special des jouissances. L'Angleterre sous son climat brumeux, sous la pression de la necessite, cette premiere institutrice des hommes, et avec cette perseverance qui accumule les capitaux, arrivant ii des resultats gigantesques ; la France, assis sur sea vigno bles, donnant libre carriere a l'imagination de ses ouv riersetde sea artistes, et accumulant les produits de gout qui sont aussi l'un des besoins be l'existence humaine— a cheque nation, Messieurs, son Genie et sa nuance. Et de meme que le peintre, pour composer son chef d'oeuvre, harmonise sur sa toile touter ses teintes, de meme la pro vidence a besoin de nuances humaines,et des oppositions meme tranchees, pour devel opper les progres de la civilisa tion. Il est certain que le Francais, soldat sous l'empire, a eu de la peine a ployer sa petulante activite sous les exi gences sedentaires de l'lndustrie: on a quelquefois songe, mais cela n'est pas possible, i renvoyer aux travaux de l'agriculture certaines ambitions, qui sont pourtant raison na bles. Esperous que notre Republique et ses hommes d'etat future ouvriront d cette ambition d' autres voles, et nous permettront, i nous aussi, de devenir commerciants et par consequent marina, l'exemple de nos vigoureux voisins. Le commerce honorable, travailleurs de l'ln dustrie Parisienne! ouvrira des debauches a vos pro duits, des que certains de nos bents barons woudront bien ne plus nous entrainer par des prohibitions inter nationales. Malgr6 cet egoisme le siecle marche a 1' union par la democratic, et l'Exposition Universelle, c'est l'aurore du bien4 tre universel!—(Bravo.) Buvons, Messieurs, a 1' union des peuples du Nord et du midi, et specialement de l'Angleterre et de la France. This sentiment was duly honoured amidst vehement applause. The CHAIRMAN next rose to propose " The health of M. Emile de Girardin, whose absence on the present happy occasion was so sensibly felt. In this tribute of respect to M. de Girardin, all pre sent, English as well as French, participated with equal ardour. M. LA.RCUET, amidst shouts of applause, demanded the honour of a bumper for their esteemed host—a cit i zen of the two great nations of Europe, celebrated and revered amongst men of taste in both countries. This tribute to the excellences of M. Soyer was paid with the accompaniment of nine times three, and when the cheering had subsided, he expressed himself to the following effect : Mes chers compatriotes! Je ne saurais yens exprimer combien je suis flatte de l'honneur quo vous venez de me faire en me portant un toast. Je vous en remercie de touts mon tune. L'occasion qui nous rassemble au jourdhui sur le solder l'autique Albion, nous la devons a l'ami shit des peuples industrieux, au Prince Albert.— (Bravo.) Et pour votre visit au Symposium, je la dois ;1 on digne personnage, l'ami des arts, des sciences, de l'industrie, de l'ouvrier, et sourtout des pauvres. C'est l'hommo du dix-neuvieme siecle, M. le Comte D'Orsay, Tii m' a charge aujourdhui de vouz reccvoir chez moi, comme it aurait desii cle faire lui nine. Malgi a que j'ai su conserver autant que possible les rcminiscences de cot amiable personnage, avant moi, habitait cette &incur°, it no me rest° qu'un regret, c'est son absence. Ainsi, vueillcz done, Messieurs, vous joindre A moi en remplissant vos coupes, et porter une santce a l'homme qui nous est 5i cher—au Comte d'Orsay: The health of that accomplished nobleman, thus feli citously proposed, was drunk with lively demonstrations of esteem. M. kIERRE VINCARD (Secretaire des delegues des tra vailleurs Francais) next gave " Aux hommes du congres de la pair, et aux dames Anglaises." The CHAIRMAN responded to this toast, and proposed the health of Mr. Fox (of the celebrated firm of Fox and Henderson) which was received with immense ap plause. Mr. Fox returned thanks in very happy terms. ile accorded the highest praise to the many noble specimens of French industry and taste in the Crystal Palace, and expressed his conviction that the Exhibition would be a great instrument in the promotion of the peace of the world, a sentiment which obtained the cordial assent of the meeting. The last toast proposed, was the health of Mr. Vincent, the Chairman, which was cordially honoured, and very eloquently acknowledged. The company then adjourned to partake of coffee on the balcony, whence they enjoyed the beautiful coup (Vail of the brilliant illumination of the grounds. The pleasures of the latter portion of the evening were considerably enhanced by the vocal contributions of a party of genuine Spanish minstrels in picturesque costume. The leader of the troupe, who accompanied himself on the guitar, excited a perfect furore by the ex traordinary animation which characterised his singing. Shortly after eleven o'clock the guests, after partak ing of a stirrup-cup, bid adieu to their courteous host, whose attentions had been unremitting throughout the evening. Altogether, the entertainment was of a delight ful character, and in the production of it M. Soyer gave the highest satisfaction to his countrymen, and to all who had the pleasure of being present. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Will you, through your columns, permit me to ask when the " Jew question" is to be settled, and when are London and its suburbs to be really represented? The former has certainly not been so for some years. I trust, however, that my native town—Manchester—will at once speak out and say, that if a fellow-citizen (no matter of what persuasion) be responsible on his alle giance to serve his Sovereign and his country in all the offices incidental to his position as such citizen, and is also authorized to vote at the election of a representative to serve in Parliament—thus delegating to another the right of legislation—why should he not also be enabled, if chosen by a numerous and influential body of his fellow subjects, to take a part in the maki ng o f th ose laws by whichi himself and his fellows are and must be bound. Why, I ask, should it be otherwise? Having onerous and important duties to perform, why should they not have the corresponding privileges? During the session now rapidly approaching its termi nation, weeks—nay, months—have been expended in re pressing the aggressions of a foreign potentate, who claims a temporal as well as spiritual allegiance from English subjects. They are still (although recognising these untenable claims) permitted to sit in the British Parliament, and to act either as hereditary or elected legislators. The Jews are subjected to no such in fluences; they have received the most substantial marks of the confidence of their Sovereign—having been on various occasions appointed to act in the time-honoured and important offices of high-sheriffs and magistrates. Why, then, should they be treated with greater harsh ness or more suspected than the Roman Catholics? The country will not any longer stand this ridiculous nonsense. The time has long since gone by for these exhibitions of intolerance, and if the Government are not prepared to assume a manly and straightforward part, the sooner they make up their mind to retire from office the better. We have, however, still confidence in Lord John— in his honesty, his purity, and his courage. Let him dis card the influences that have hitherto warped his better judgment. Let him remember what Manchester did in the olden time, when the Reform Bill was in danger. I shall never forget the stern and unflinching resolution of the awn of Manchester, and those who then ac ted thus nobly will once and for ever insist upon en end being put to all these religious anomalies. No one can respect our glorious Constitution in_altlhiatns elements—Sovereign, Lords and Commons — d 2 ::- r operate myself; but each must kee p p. their p together. The Lords have now bearded the people, and y that may they must be responsible for arise. I hope and trust that theseny difficulties may not be of a more formidable character than , they have at present any notion of.—l am , Sir, you r obedient servant, E. B, Manchester, July 25, 1851. F ATAL ACCID ------ AT THE KINTEB URY S TONE Wona.s.—A labo urin g man named George Peard, emp l oyed E NT at the Kinterbury W o rks, near Plymouth, was leading a horse, attached to a heavily loaded cart, which moved on ra il s , when he s lipped and fell. The w h ee l s of the cart passed over him , an d inflicted s everal severe injuries on the lower part of his body, from the effects of which he died on Friday, at the South Devon Hospital, to which he had been immediately conveyed. Peaches were selling in New York market at 50 cents per peck. ~~ • s SPORTING NOTES. No. XCIII.

Sir,—The sitting of Wednesday the 23rd was princi pally distinguished by the re-appearance in Parliament of ono of the ablest and most indefatigable of the Pro tectionists, the new Member for Scarborough. And so the thing is going. He will leave no stone unturned for finding occasions of familiarising the House of Com mons and the public with the doctrines of the Protec tionist school, and accustoming all who are so disposed, to set them down as unanswered and unanswerable. And the accredited organs of the Free Trade school will do all that is possible to play into his hands. They have apparently taken a leaf out of the book of that Free-Trader in war, who when his son pro posed to continuo the movement upon a beaten enemy, cried " Boy, do you want to have us sent to plant cabbages?" The press on both sides will follow parallel courses; that is to say, one side will work with might and main to extend the successes of its cham pions, and the other will support nothing and nobody, but put its head into the bushes in hopes of the danger passing by, as is the practice of the ostrich on the African continent, and the sagacious collaterals of our turkey-cocks on the American. On Thursday exemplification of this system was pre sented in the debate on the Navigation Laws. The at tack and defence consisted almost entirely of combats on details. There is nothing modern statesmen so much abhor as a principle. If one side of the Rouse, for example, were to advance, that the way to aid a leaky ship was to bore a hole in the bottom, the other side would meet it with statistical details, to prove that after such an operation the water in the hold had not dimi nished. And if the assailants could discover that in consequence of the leaky side being brought to wind ward, or any other reason, there had been less water in the hold than for some hours previously, they would proclaim triumphantly that the boring had been the cause. Their opponents would possibly en deavour to rebut it by pointing out the reason of the appearance. But the one thing which they and every body would utterly eschew and avoid, would be the mooting of the question whether there was any rational connexion between boring a hole and diminishing the water. This would be too powerful an appeal to human reason; it would be strong meat, fit for the rude constitutions of the Free Trade Hall, but not adapted to the more refined digestions of the House of Commons. On Friday Mr. Muntz carried his clause for requiring a safety-valve on each boiler in steam-vessels; so that our chance of being the boiled may be considered as diminished. The argument of some of the officials ip opposition to it did not appear to be so well considered as usual; being, that it was not politic to take the re. ~ sponsibility of defining what was a safe steam -ve il!: and therefore it was not politic to enact that steam' vessels should have two safety-valves instead of h on e e :. On the same day 137,0001. were voted out of t four the solidated Fund, for the advance, by way purposes of the General Board of II b who do Metropolitan Interments Act, 1850.

DEATII FROM WRESTLING.—On Saturday Mr. W. Carter, a ar \ ter, the coro ner , h e ld an i nques t a t th e D u k e of Suffolk Brandou-street, Walworth, respecting the death of ~~'illiam Sayer, aged 25, who, it was alleged, had died from violence. It appeared that the deceased left home on the 19th instant, and proceeded to the Lion Brewery tap, East lane, kept by Mr. Merrytield. The deceased and several men sat in front of the bar, when the conversation turned on the subject of wrestling. and subsequently the deceased was thrown heavily to the ground by a man named Addy. Cornish wrestler, who holds the belt as champion. The de ceased complained of some injury he had received by the fall, and was taken home by two men, where he died on Wednesday. Mr. J. Adolphus, who had attended the de ceased, said there were no appearances of external violence, and the a fall or other immedviolence.
