The Parliamentary session of 1850, which is now rapidly drawing to its conclusion, may be regarded as a , period of large p rom i se an d b u t scan t performance. lsever,indeed, was th e di st i nct i on b etween " sa yi n gA and doings" more clearly illustrated. Sanguine ex pectations were entertained as to the numerous and much required ameliorations that would be intro duced and carried by her MAJESTY'S Ministers, and never were anxious hopes more signally disappointed. One by one have the most valuable measures been postponed to some "future opportunity." One day, tha Lord-Lieutenancy Abolition Bill was thrown over, the next the Jewish Disabilities was sacrificed without a murmur. In like manner, we are left totally in the dark as to the Ministerial intentions with respect to the contemplated separation of the poli - ical and judicial functions of the Lord High Chancellor of England. Subjects that had been introduced with loud and continued flourishes of trumpets, and much self-gratulation, were either passed over sub silentio or relinquished with a brief expressiob of regret, and a half promise that they would be considered "next smion." It would be im possible to notice within the space of a single article the various matters, some of the deepest and most vital importance, that were thus disposed of. The Irish remedial measures shared the general fate. Our un fortunate brethren . at the ottier side of St. George's Channel literally asked for bread, and we gave them, not one, but many stones. The law of landlord and tenant was to be placed on a better foundation ; that vexata questio was to be dealt with in an enlarged and comprehensive spirit, but it was kept back, and in its place a most stringent Bill was introduced inflicting various penalties on the unfortunate tenants. That has, happily, been thrown out through the determined opposition of Irish Member/, but it might hive been carried, so far as the Ministers were concerned, for the Home Secretary declared that " the fact of the Government finding themselves unable to proceed with a Bill on the general subject, would by no means justify them in resisting a salutary improve ment of the law limited to a particular case." The Security for Advances Bill, which might have pro vided funds for the employment of the people, and which would have given the impoverished inheritors of encumbered estates some trifling means with which to commence life de noro, and wouldhave given the puisne creditors some reasonable prospect of payment, has been withdrawn, while a Crime and Outrage Act is steadily pressed forward, and every Tuesday and Friday witnesses the sacrifice of valuable properties for little more than one-half their actual value, or the still more significant symptoms of the universal depreciation is Ireland— the postponement of the sale from the absence of any bidder at even the most ridiculously inadequate prices. But perhaps in no case has the laisser faire policy of the Government, the vis inerfice ot Ministers been so painfully conspicuous as in the Savings Banks Bill, which last night shared the fate of every useful measure, by being added to the general heap of remanets. This was perhaps, par excellence, " the" Bill of the session, so far as the great body ef the labour ing classes were concerned. The numerous and se vere losses that had been sustained by a very deser ving portion ot the community, in wheat it was pecu liarly desirable to foster habits of providence and self-control; the panic that arose from ,the discovery of the systematic fraud and deception practised by swindling actuaries, and the knowledge that the much-vaunted Government security was little better than "a mockery, a delusion, and a snare"—the na tional guarantee not coming into operation until the funds had actually been invested with the Com missioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, and the humble deposits that should be regarged as sacred trusts being exposed in transitu to the almost unchecked tampering of agents, who, if naturally dishonest, might indulge their evil propensities with impunity—rendered it im perative that something shouid be done to restore the waning confidence, and to prervent a general withdrawal of the deposits, which might be attended with very serious results. Accordingly, at the com mencement of the session, the very first Government Bill that was announced was for an alteration in the savings bank code, which would givo additional se curity to depositors. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer was to have framed the necessary resolutions preparatory to the introduction of such a Bill on the sth of February, and the first rea. ling was to have been taken on the same day. This lau table activity on the part of the Minister of Finance elicited general ap probation, and the parties intern sted anxiously awaited the promised explanation as 'to the details of the contemplated measure ; but, alas ! the vanity of human hopes and human wishes, the appointed day arrived, but Sir CHARLES WOOD was not forthcom ing—a severe attack of illness prevented the Right Lion. Baronet from attending, and he was unable to appear in his place in the House for nearly six weeks—until the 15th March. For that delay he was not responsible ; it was produced by causes clearly beyond his own control, and all parties patiently awaited his perfect re covery. Since the 15th of March nearly five months have elapsed, during which period a single evening might surely have been devoted to the consideration of the subject ; but Sir CHARLES WOOD thought otherwise. V aluable hours were wasted in bringing forward Bills that were immediately after withdrawn —unnecessary debates were protracted from evening to evening, in which there was " much sound and but little sense." The House was repeatedly" counted out," and we believe occasionally " whipped out" by the Ministerial " whipper in," who thus reversed his ordinary duties. But, with all this waste of time, not an hour could be devoted to the Savivs Bink and on Thursday, the Bth of August, we find the Chancellor of the Exchequer state the very great re• gret with which "he had come to the conclusion that he must postpone even the discussion upon the Bill until next session." The public, we suppose, must submit ; there is no remedy. The same melancholy exhibitions of incompetency may be repeated every Session, while the community must be contented ; for is not Sir CHARLES WOOD brother-in-law to Earl GREY, and nearly connected with several other influ ential Cabinet Ministers, and the family compact could not be disturbed for so very trifling a matter as public disappointment and public disapprobation. After a close and exciting contest, the House of Lords has agreed with the Commons' amendments to the Parliamentary Voters (Ireland) Bill ; and that just and salutary measure now only awaits the Royal assent to become the law of the land. The Parlia mentary session of 1850 will thus be saved from the stigma of being a legislative blank, without any enactments of practical utility being sanctioned by the three estates of the realm. Something has been achieved—an instalment of justice has been rendered to the much-wronged people of Ireland, and, although small in amount, it will give them additional strength to enforce the balance of their rights. Notwithstanding the ample concessions made by the popular branch of the Legislature, to which we alluded last week, much goodly indignation was exhibited at its presumption in venturing to differ in any par ticulars from their aristocratic hereditary lawgivers, although in matters exclusively affecting the consti tution of the House of Representatives their assent to the stringent regulations by which all persons except owners not in actual occupation were excluded from the franchise, was regarded as nothing. The rejec tion of the clause conferring a right of voting on joint occupiers (avery numerous class in Ireland), which was considered by Lord STASLEY to be an amendment of considerable importance, was also agreed to by the Commons, although a large number of persons, not less than 20 000, would be thereby deprived of the suffrage. But even this submission was scarcely taken into account. The points of difference were only considered, and a powerful minority, while com plaining of an attempt at dictation by the Commons, resolutely refused all compromise. They would have the 151. qualification or nothing. Even that, according to the Protectionist leader " was dangerously low." Little more than 6 per cent. of the adult male population of the country, or about one-half per cent. of the entire population, would be too large a propor tion to entrust with voices in the national representa tion. He would however yield so far, but not a step further would he go. Better far that affairs should remain in their present condition ; that there should be some 300 voters for the county Mayo, out of a population of 388,000, and 30,000 for all Ireland, or something less than the proportion in France before the revolution of 1848—a policy which led to the overthrow of the Orleans dynasty —than that so large an infusion of the democratic element into the consti tution as 10 per cent. of the adult males should be for a moment tolerated. In merry, prosperous, and happy England, there are only ;,72 per cent. of the adult males excluded be. yond the pale of the Constitution. In Scotland the proportion is something higher, there being 75 per cent. unrepresented : but in poor, miserable, long suffering, and much injured Ireland it is looked upon as almost revolutionary to reduce the unenfranchised parishes to 90 ner cent. of the adult males, all of whom wo u ld b e deemed worthy of fighting the bat tles of their country, and dying to promote the honour and glory of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, should the occasion unfortunately arise. Can we wonder if a sensitive and warmhearted people are disgusted at such conduct, or if they lend an easy credence to mischievous agitators and are ready to clamour for the repeal of the Union, even for a total separation between the countries, or to raise any other watchword that may be put into their mouths ? The lordly obstructives were, however, happily defeated; but it was not until after an arduous and exciting contest. The majority of Peers in attend- THE SUN, LONDON, ance voted in favour of Lord STANLEY'S motion, to insist on the 151. qualification, and to dissent from the 12/. compromise. There were c.f those present—Con tents, 62 ; Non••contents, 56. The Bill would, there fore, have been lost, if the proxies were not counted. For once, however, that extraordinary and anomalous privilege, that allows the votes of parties absent from the House, who have had no opportunity of hearing the arguments pro or con., or learning the real merits of the question, was turned to good account. Mi nisters had taken the very necessary precaution of having the votes of seventy good men and true in their pnckets, while the Tories had only fifty-three paper Lords. This had the effect of converting the minority of six into a good working majority of eleven, who carried the 121. franchise triumphantly through the Peers, and prevented an angry collision between the Houses. Lord STANLEY was exceedingly indignant at the defeat thus brought about. The " dumbies " Excited his wraqi, and the Noble Lords who gave, and the Ministers who used, the proxies alike came in for his heavy animadversion!. It was cer tainly too bad to have the anticipated victory snatched from his grasp by the sudden staving up of these " men in buckram" from their ambush. Such disappointments must, however, be of frequent recur rence when such a privilege is resorted to. But if Lord STANLEY objects to Ministers availing them selves of the powers which the forms of the House place within their reach—if he deems it very unsa tisfactory that " the recorded opinions of those who had been present at their discussions should be nulli fied by the votes of others who had not heard the arguments," why does he not call for an immediate alteration, and demand the abolition of the practice ? It would be something to see their Lordships keep ing up with the spirit of the age, and (recollecting that improvement should commence at home) begin ning to reform their own House. That, indeed, would be et, sight worth seeing; and if Lord STANLEY introduce such a measure, he will earn for himself the thanks and gratitude of the country. We do not suppose that the Commons would be consulted on the subject, as it merely relates to the practice and privileges of their own House ; the Lords would not think it necessary to ask the sanction of any other body, and would warmly re sent any interference ; and yet they have thought it right and proper to make extensive alterations in a measure concerning the elective franchise, and exclu sively affecting the constitution of the House of Com mons. If, however, the matter should be brought before the Commons, we venture to promise that they will offer no obstacle to the progress of the much required reform, nor venture to mutilate or dilute the measure. But while the practice is continued—while a call for proxies is still regarded as a legitimate demand— it would be strange indeed if the Government did not use it as a mode "of converting an adverse majority into a minority," or if it should only use its proxies when already in a majority. We apprehend that any Government or any party, on either side of the House, in office or. out of office, would not be inclined to relinquish so powerful a weapon, or to have the House arrive at a decision which they themselves considered to be erroneous through a mere point of etiquette. The point at issue was, however, carried, and we shall not scrutinize too narrowly the means by which an object so desirable in every respect has been achieved. The self-acting registry clause was also carried without a division, the goodly array of proxies having completely disheartened the mal contents. As we have already stated, the Bill now only awaits the Royal assent to become the law of the land, and one of the best founded sources of complaint is, to a certain degree at least, removed from our Irish •brethren. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Peal.; journals of yesterday. The reactionary faction seem to be labouring under a species of judicial blindness. That which ruined CHARLES X., M. ESTANCELIN would fain induce the Assembly to perpetrate, to dissolve the National Guards of Paris. He has given notice of the follow ing amendment to M. BAROCHE'S Bill on the Na tional Guard :—" The National Guard to be dis• solved and disarmed in the department in which the seat of Government shall be fixed." Nothing can be imagined more likely to give mortal offence to the bourgeoise of Paris than this proposal. The Paris bourgeoise has hitherto supported the reactionary noblesse, because he believed that the S.)cialist wished t i disarm him and to rob him ; but if the noblesse attempt to disarm him he will most assuredly turn against them as he did in 1830 ; and, be it remembered, the regular troops always side with the National Guards of Paris ; there is not an instance known to the contrary. _ The journals publish an official communication, contradicting a statement which had been circulated that the vote on the Orleans and Lyons Railway Bill had been vitiated. The Patric , gives the following as the official noti fication of the intended itinerary of the PRESIDENT of the Republic : " August 12. Departure from Paris for Dijon via Tonnere; reception and review at Tonnere. " 13. At Dijon. " 14. From Dijon to Lyons; reception and review at Macon. " 15 and 16. At Lyons. " 17. Lyons to Lons-le•Saulnier; review at Bourg. " 18. Lons-le-Saulnier to Besancon by Dole; review at Dule. " 19. Besancon to Belfont. " 20. Belfont to Colmar, by Mulhouse. " 21. Colmar to Strasbourg. "22. At Strasbourg. " 23. Strasbourg to Sarrebourg, by Phalsbourg. " 24. Sarrebourg to Nancy, by .Luneville; reception and review at Luneville. " 25 and 26. Nancy to Metz, and stay at Metz. " 27. Metz to Chalons-sur-Marne, by Verdun. " 28. Return to Paris." The PRESIDENT has been most reluctantly com pelled to yield to the Assembly, and give up the idea of forming a camp at Versailles. The Constitutionnel, in making this announcement accompanies it by a statement calculated to excite the feelings of the army against the Assembly. The Constitutionnel says— " The President of the Republic. if we be rightly in formed, felt obliged to renounce this useful project as soon as he had learned that the poverty of the Budget would not enable him to treat the troops with the liberality to which they had been accustomed under the preceding regime. We learn also that after the review that took piece yesterday of the Gendarmerie M►bile and Republican Guard, the President invited the officers end non-commissioned officers to dinner at the Elysee. The review and the invitation had been settled for the sake of allowing the President to afford the same ex pressions of sympathy to these corps which the camp at Versailles would have enabled him to offer to the troops composing the garrison at Paris. The President has, nevertheless, according to our information, reserved to himself the pleasure of treating the officers and the non-commissioned officers of the several corps which were to have successively formed part of the camp, as if the project had not been abandoned. The invitations will be given either at the end of the reviews which he intends to pass or following the manoeuvres which are to be executed in autumn..' The Assemblie Nationale proposes that before the prorogation the National Assembly shall pass the following decree giving extraordinary powers to the Committee of 25 : " The Provisional Commission, on a simple convoca tion of the President, assembles in its ordinary place of meeting; it commands, directly, the General-in-Chief, who is at the head of the troops of the department of the Seine, and transmits to him its orders; it has au thority to transfer the place of its deliberation to another department; it names a superior commander; and it may, by a simple decree, place a city or a department un der martial law. From the very fact of this decree the Assembly is bound to meet eight days after in the place indicated by the Provisional Commission. " Let the Assembly but vote the above," continues the Assemblee IVatienale, " and the public peace is per fectly secured during the interval of the vacation." M. and Madame LAMARTINE have arrived at Mar seilles from the East. PARIS BOURSE, AUGUST B.—Latest Prices.—Five per Cents, 96'. 85c.; Three per Cents., 58f. 15c.; Bank Actions, 2,380 f.

The Paris Journal de3 I.M6g.ts publishes the follow ing (evidently semi-officiLl) communication from Vienna : "I think it my duty to give you some information relative to the attitude n hick the Cabinet of Vienna proposes to assume on the Danish question. Foreseeing the delay which may arise in negotiating, the Austrian Government wishes to bring about a preventive demon stretion on the part of the representatives of the Con federation. The object in view will be to cause Holstein to be occupied by German troops, to the exclusion, how ever, ef the Prussqteas. The reason, of this occupation are as follow:—Either the duchies will be again beaten, and the report of their defeat, being re-echoed through out Germany, and worked on by agitations, might be come the signal of demonstrations of a revolutionary ober :cter; or the Danes will be conquered when doubtless Russia would come to their assistance, and thus create complications of incalculable im portance, aad probably contribute still more than the defeat of the duchies to a general exas peratien of the people, and give an opportunity tor the agitation Of cl, magegy. In either case the occupation of Holstein would cut at the root of the evil. In bringing about the adoption of this policy Austria would give another very severe blow to Prussia. It would appear, in fact, that the Cabinet of Berlin would be disposed to regard with indifference the com plete incorporatlon of Schleswig, provided the King of Denmark, dying without heirs, would secure the succes sion of Holstein to the faintly of Augustenbourg; and that princely house is said to have already guaranttei to Prussia, by a secret treaty, the free enjoyment of the future states now in litigation, or a certain extent of coast and the greater number of the saa-ports, which are the constant objects of the wishes of the great power of Northern Germany. It is positively stated that a Rus sian note, again recommending to the Cabinet of Pots dam the pure and simple re-establishment of the German Diet, has been recently received at Berlin. M. de Me dan, the Russian Minister, decidedly leaves in a few days. M. de Funtau, Councillor of Legation, will re place bite, provisionally hit firet, but ultimately, in all probability, d) finitively. The Weiner Zeilung of the 3d publishes official orders for the reduction of the Austrian army. General HAYNAU arrived at Berlin on the 31. Tne Prussian Cabinet has returned a spirited reply to the Austrian Note on the subject of the Baden troops. Prussia declares that she will not permit their passage to be opposed., by a forced construction of the laws tor the regulation of the federal fortresses:; and that Austria has no right to give instructions to the Governor of Mayence. Prussia has already taken measures against the course of proceeding on the part of Austria. On the other hand, it appears by letters from Carlsruhe that the Baden troops are still in the Grand Duchy, and will there remain till further orders. It is said that Austria, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, and Hanover have agreed to interfere in the Duchies to stop the effusion of blood. WhaON FOHR.

ARREST OF THE BRITISH CONSUL AT MOINEY and COMMERCIAL SEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesyrday was steady, hut tame and American sorts were 1.16 d. lower. The sales were cstimat, d at 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export, anti 2,000 on specula tion. The sales comprised 5,500 American. 800 Per 113K1 and Maranham at 811. to 8:1d., 2GO Egyptian at 84d. to Did„ and 600 Surat at 5i f, to 61d. per lb.—Rail av Shares were liar, at lower quotations. The Corn Market is firm again tais morning, though without much doing. The accounts about the potato and grain crops still r xcite doubts and fears, but it is hoped that any mischief done will be confined to particular localities. The purchases of celonial produce have been on a tolerably I.beral scale, and most articles are firm. Sugar has been steadily taken for consumption. Tea continues in favour. Cotton, though scarcely so brisk, maintains the late rise, and indigo sells mama as before. Rice has been rather duller. In spices there have been moderate transactions. The consumption of many co lonial articles will doubtless depend upon the extent of the corn crops, and the consequent ability of the farmers and labutirets to buy. The activity of the population engaged in manufacturing pursuits will keep up the ag gregate demand fur primary staples, such as sugar, tee, and cotton. The ILrnhur,;ll mail has arrived, with advises of Tuesday's date. The rate of exchange on Loudon has fallen half a Schilling, being 13 marks 7 t-chitling , , and there was not much doing in bills. Public securities were firm, and railway shares barely supported. The corn market was quiet. In the Au,sterdom Stock Market, on the 7th inst., Dutch Bonds had an upward tendency. Mexican were more offered. At Frankfort, on the 61h inst., Austrian Metallics were quoted Sli to 821, acc,rding as taken for money or time. Spanish Three per Cents. were 32 13.16 to 33 1-16. An idea having got abroad that passports are unne cessary for travellers proceeding across the Belgian frontier from different states of the Continent, it may be as well to explain that such is not strictly the case. The Government of Belgium has suppressed the special ser vice of officials who used to inspect passports, and these latter will, as a general - rule, probably not be asked for, but the ordinary Customs servants will, whenever it is deemed advisable, b au thorised to demand the paper-, and in the interior towns they can at any moment be asked tor. Advises of the 20th ult., from Galatz, state, that in respect to the crops, there was nothing to complain f. Tne wheat would yield about an average, and the new rye was p , irticularly fine. The rate of exchange on London was 94 4 1 for three months' bills. The increasing railway competition, as new branches or entire lines are opened to public traffic, impose a difficulty in the way of those who desire to make an approximate calculation as to the return which they may expect from particular investments, and it is certainly a problem even to the wore experienced. There is scarcely any difference of opinion with reference to the steady de velopment of railway income from increasing population and diminished working expenses, supposing the latter can be much reduced, but it is at the same time admitted pretty generally that the competition of several lines for the same traffic will not be conducive either to profits or cheapness of conveyance. The public will have a choice of route, but upon a railway conveying only a portion of the traffic insttad of the whole, they cannot expect to travel at the minimum tares, which a company possessed of the monopoly, and yet restricted from the declaration of more than a cer tain per tentage in dividends, would be enabled to esta blish. It is very important, nevertheless, to keep in mind that the travelling wants of the country are annu ally increasing, and that excessive traffic on one line in volves danger. In this sense the Great Northern may in course of time prove still more useful than at present, and we trust more remunerative.

The following important letter has been received at Lloyds:— "Rotterdam, Aug. 6, 1850. " Sir,—We beg leave to inform you that our Legisla ture has decided on an amendment in our existing navi gation law', by which all toreign vessels are allowed to navigate and carry cargoes to and from the Netherlands, and the Netherland possessions abroad, under the same privileges as are enjoyed by ships sailing under the Netherland flog, provided Netherland vessels enjoy the same privileges in such foreign countries.

Fresh up to this morning's market, very little English Wheat came to hand, either from Essex or Kent, while the total arrivals coastwise have nut exceeded 1,960 quarters. To-day the show of samples of both red and white was trifling, owing to which, the changeable state of the weather, and fte increased number of buyers in attendance, the demand for alt kinds of Wheat of hom , . produce ruled steady, and in some instances selected parcels commanded a trifle more money. Upwards of 20,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have reached us this week. Fine dry parcels moved off steadily, at full rates of currency. In the middling and inferior kinds a moderate business was doit,g, at Monday's currencies. No English Barley aas brought forward; but the supply of fresh Foreign exemded 7,600 quarters. On the whole a good business was doing, at full prices. Although the quantity of malt on show was trifling that article moved off slowly, at last wet k's currencies. We were well sup plied with foreign Oat , , which were in gaud rtqueet, at fully late rates. Bent, Peas, and Flour were quit: as dear. kRRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. 1 Barley. Oats. AWL Flour, Qrs. Qrs.

The appointment of General Joss DE LA CONCHA to the Captain-Generalship of Cuba is officially an nounced.

The Neapolitan Ambassador, Prince CARINI, still continues at Madrid, notwithstanding the Spa nish Ambassador at the Neapolitan Court had quitted. ITALY. We learn from the Genoa Gazette, of the 31, that the new plan for the organization of secondary in struction in Piedmont having been submitted to Count iklamiANl, who, although not a deputy, was the person best fitted to give an opinion on the subj,ct, be has just delivered his report to the Government. Lord DURHAM arrived from London at the British Embassy at Florence, on Governmental business, on the 31st ult. His Lordship was expected to leave "again for London on the Ist. The Minister of the Interior of Florence has ad dressed a circular to all the prefects of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, enjoining them to be very sparing in granting leave of absence to public functionaries unless for real and urgent motives of ill.health; since, in the words of the circular, "as the case now stands, a contagion peculiar to that class of persons would seem to have brnken out among them." HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The fascinating Carlotta Grisi took her benefit at her Majesty's Theatre last evening, and appeared on that occasion in two of her most fascinating charac ters, Giselle and Esmeralda. The last act of Giselle was alone represented, in which Carlotta appears as a wili, and su exquisitely did she dance, so beautifully expressive was her pantomime, that we could not but regret that the ballet had not been given as a whole. Fier Esmeralda was also merely a fragment, but a delightful fragment; she danced the Truandaise with, it' possible, more espieglerie than ever. She was excellently supported in both ballets by M. Charles. The opera was the Sonnambula, cast as this establishment alone can cast it. Madame Sontag was the Aisaina, Sims Reeves the Elvino, and Belletti the Count. Never has this exquisite opera been more exquisitely ren dered. Madame Sontag and Sims Reeves were both in excellent voice, and sang deliciously. The "Ab non giunge" of Madame Sontag was the most perfect performance ever heard. Between the acts of the opera we had a divertissement, with Amalia Ferraris as the premiere danseuse, who was enthusi astically applauded in her pas, and after Giselle we had the last act of Ernani, with Mdlle. Parodi as Elvira, Gardoni as Ernani, and Belletti as Silva. The concluding trio was a magnificent example of lyrical tragedy of the very highest order. Parodi, by her superb acting, created a perfect furore. The trio was encored as a matter of course. The theatre WAS crowded. Amongst the noble and distinguished individuals who honoured the pertormances with their presence we re marked—his Excehency the Russian Minister, the and Mdlle.

She made her first appearance on any stage at Berlin, on the 27th of October, 1849, as Norma, with the most triumphant succese, and during a season of six months performed Donna Anna, in Don Giovanni; Agatha, in Der Freischutz; Amino, in La Sonnanzbula ; Alice, in Robert le Diable ; Carolina, in IZ 4.11 - atrimonio Segreto; Desdetnona, in Otello ; Lucia, in Lucrezia Borgia—. in all of which difficult roles she performed with so much artistic excellence that the German papers were loud in her praises. After the Berlin season she went with the Italian com pany to Dresden for one month, and subsequently to Hamburgh, where she was equally successfill. After the Italian company of Berlin left Hamburgh she Performed with the German company in Italian, at the request of the public at Hatnburgh. A mouth after Madame Fiorentini appeared at Berlin the King of Prussia commanded her to go to Potsdam, to sing the role of Norma, in the opera of that name. Her voice is a pure soprano, of a lovely, fresh, and powerful quality, and was compared in Germany to that of Madame Mulder, who was acknowledged to have the most beautiful voce ever heard. Madame Fiorentini is es young as Grisi was when she made her debut in London, with a beautiful expressive face and graceful figure, and was called at Berlin La Stella di Siviglia. _ Lady Peel and family left Southampton for Jersey on Monday night.
