The lecturer argued that simplicity was the soul of cw,e}tence In every department of art, "a simple building is the most durable, as is a simple melody— the latter reaches the heart, and dwells there, while ornament is the rhetoric of music, which surprises and delights at the moment by its execution, but fails to be remembered in after times." Shield's style was ill ustrated with the beautif u l so ng " Wh i l s t with Village Maids I stray," and Storache's by " Lullaby" and " Little Tafiline." Storache Sir Henry highly extolled as a genius of no common order, and although possessing an Italian name, and so generally thought to be an It a li an, he was an Italian in origin only, being an Englishmen born and bred. The simple ballad style was ill ustrated by " Auld Robin Gray, " beautifully given. In conclusion, the lecturer urged the necessity of music being introduced into the edu cation of all classes, as the more the populace of a country have of innocent recreation the more likely are they to be industrious and content, and to keep the more unruly pssicns in subjection. He con demned the present public-house concerts as being fraught With mischief, and much to b • avoided; they may aid the cause of Bacchus, but they only bring the fascination of music to assist vice and intemperance. Stevenson's duet, "Tell me where is Fancy bred," closed a very interestin g an d much applauded lecture. The vocalists were Miss Thornton and Miss Young, and both were frequently encored. The place was crowded. 250 0 0 500 0 0 Lemuel Goddard, Esq. - 21 0 0 Messrs. Laurie, Ilauill - and Co. - - 10 10 0 Messrs.

AT a MEETING of the Board of Baptist Ministers, residing in and near the cities of London and West minster, held in the Baptist Mission House, M oorgate-street, Feb. 12, 1850, the following resolutions were passed unanimously : 1. That in the judgment of this Board, the marriage of a widower witk the sister of his deceased wife is scripturally lawful, and ought not to be prohibited by human legbilation. 2. That in the judgment of this Board, the Act of sth and 6th William IV cap. 54, is improperly restrictive of the rights of indivi duals, and in many cases productive of Immorality. 3. That this Board has learnt with pleasure that the Committee of the haptist - Union has issued a circular, recommending the churches to petition for the passing of an Act legalizing the class of marriages thus prohibited, and hopes that they will generally comply with the suggestion. 4. That a petition in conformity with the preceding resolutions be presented to both Houses of Parliament, signed on behalf of the Board by the Chairman and Secretary; and that Mr. Hinton, with the Chairman and Secretary, be requested to prepare it.

QTRICTUItt of the URkTHRA.; its Patho- L logy and Rational Treatment, with important Practical Oh :;ern ations on the Use and Abuse of Instruments in the Treatment of Obstructions of the Urinary Canal ; showing how it is that Stric tares, in most cases, not only resist, but are aggravated by the ordi nary means adopted for their cure, and at length become seriously complicated by the so-called " consequences of Stricture." The whole illustrated by numerous cases, which will be found to embrace every possible form of Stricture and its consequences, together with appropriate means of cure. By F. B. COURTENAY, Those who are labouring under long-protracted stricture, with all its accompanying nth:eries, will find detailed in this work modes of treatment adapted to such cases, the efficacy and superiority of which have been tested by repeated practice; whilst those who are suffering under the less severe forms of the disease may find the means of prompt relief, and at the same time such information as will protect them from becoming the victims of unskiltal and rolent treatment—the mainspring of severe and complicated ob structions of the urinary canal. " The operation of introducing a catheter through an impermeable stricture is, without doubt, the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, crud de mands all the prudence, science, and skill of a master. The art can only ha acquired. and that gradually, by frequent practice,"— Liston's Operative Surgery. Published by 11.

THE NEW NAVAL NOVELIST.—The author of the new tale of the ser, " The Petrel," bids fair to take rank as t'i first of his class. "We cannot but consider," says the Morning Past, "that the reading public are very much indebted to Mr. Colburn introduce for their i n t ro d u tion to a writer who, by Lis skill in depicting life on the ocean, will, we doubt not, supply the place in nautical literature which has become vacant by the death of the lamented Captain Marryat.. T his author's life of the ship is equa lly d as hing, forcible, and free. True, in these volumes there are errors of style and general ar rangement, but for a first offering we know of few others of ttie class to which it belongs, which in powerful de scription and refined humour could compete with it. The author writes like a regular salt.' Sea life has been with him no harbour haunt ing, steam-running ser vice. He tells of iron-bound shores, of coral islands, and of ocean caves, as a true monster of the deep. The scene of his work is highly novel and interesting. In deed the whole cruize of the Petrel is in itself a narra tive of vivid interest, the descriptions having a reality that makes it appear that we are rather reading of some true voy age than a romance. The author of The Petrel' iv, we believe, Admiral Fisher, who comm an ded at the blockade of Alexandria in 1840." Sift JOHN FRANKLIN.—We learn that Mr. Grinnel, one of the merchant shipowners of New York, and for merly a Member of Congress, has augment ~ d his former subscription of 5,000 dollars towards the fitting out of an expedition prcceed in search of Sir John Frank lin's party, to the princely donation of 15,000 dollars. It is intended that two small vessels of 160 and of 60 tons respectively shall proceed to Barrow's Straits in May next; and it is calculated that the coat of such an expe dition will not be more than 25,000 dollars. SAVINGS' BANK DEYAULTER.—ThO investigation into the affairs of the Aylesbury :Savings' Bank has just been completed. The amount of defalcations by Stratton has been summed up, and has reached the sum of 1,068/. The secretary of the bank (Mr. James) has, we are in formed, paid into the hands of the treasurer 500/., to meet any el4itns that may ultimately fall upon him. NEW GREEN PEAL.--A small parcel of this early luxury has bean ieepii - ed by Messrs. Keeling and Hunt, by the Pacha steamer, from Lisbon, bearing as fresh an appia,:anco as if grown in England. My Precious Betsy ! Why the name alcine is almost sufficient to secure the success of a one-act .farce, and when that farce i produced at the Adelphi, and. performed by Mr. Wright, Mr. Paul Bedford, Mr. - Worrell, Miss Emma Harding, and Mrs. Frank Matthews, its success must be certain—and such was the case last night. My Precious Betsy is Mrs. Bobtail (Miss Emma Harding), and she is the " precious Betsy" of Mr. Bobtail (Mr. Wright), a tallow-Aandler at Southampton. Betsy had once lived as servant to a Doctor Brown, and the doctor, at his death, leaves her a legacy. This good luck, however, is the source of an Iliad of woes to Betsy and her husband. Their neighbour Wagtail (P. Bedford), envious of their wealth, determines to destroy their happiness by insinuating in the Southamp ton Paul Pry that the affection of the defunct Brown for Betsy was not altogether of aplatonic character; this rouses , the jealousy of Bobtail, and our tallowy Othello is still further tormented by the mysterious visits of a Mr. Langford (Mr. Worrell). The vagaries of Wright as a farcical Othello, and of Paul Bedford .as a farcical lago, may be imagined ; they kept the house in a roar, and, after half an hour of the broadest fun, all is explained, and all ' ends happily. The piece is very strongly cast. Miss Emma Hard ing as Mrs. Bobtail was admirable, and we could easily excuse the jealousy of the tallow-chandler for his precious Betsy. Mr. Worrell acted the Mysterious Visitor to the life ; and Mrs. Frank Matthews, as Mrs. Wagtail, the wife of the author of all the mischief; to whom 'the jealous, wrathful, and destructive Bobtail makes love, by way of reprisal, was richly comic. The house, as usual, was Crammed. OLYMPIC THEATRE. A new three-act tragedy, entitled The _Noble Heart, was produced here last evening, in the most perfect manner, both as regards acting and wise en scene, and with, consequently, the most brilliant success. The author is Mr. G. H. Lewes, a gentleman well known for his intimate acquaintance with, and thorough appreciation of, the great works of the great Spanish dramatists—works which Corneille thought it not beneath him .to adapt to the French stage, and which our own dramatists of the Elizabethan age studied as models of dramatic composition. The Noble Heart bears, as might have been expected, evident traces of the favourite studies of its author. The plot is extremely simple, but at the same time striking; and Mr. Lewes has most judiciously avoided the introduction of any underplot, so that the whole interest concentrates itself on the principal personages, and is never once broken. The hero, Don Gomm z de la Vega (Mr. G. V. Brooke), is a Spanish nobleman, proud, chivalrous, and with the most romantic notions of honour. He is about fifty years of age, but still susceptible of love. He sees Juanna (Mrs. Mowatt), the daughter of a merchant, and loves her. He struggles long against this, in his opinion, degrading passion ; but at length the pride of the haughty Hidalgo gives way, and in spite of ' the warnings of Hermann (Mr. Ryder), an old monk, who urges him to quit the world and retire to a convent, Don Gomez demands the hand cf Juanna of her father. Juairia, however, loves another, but he is far away ; her father is on the verge of bank ruptcy ; she can save him from a prison by accepting the hand of Gomez, and she makes a sacrifice of herself to serve her father. Don Leon (Mr. Davenport), the son of Don Gomez, returns trom the wars on the day of his father's marriage. He is met by the monk Hermann, and informed that his father is about to degrade himself by marrying the daughter of a merchant. Instead of being indignant, as the monk had expected, Don Leon is delighted, for be too loves a merchant's daughter, and now Don Gomez cannot refuse to make him happy. Her name, asks Hermann; Juanna, is the reply—yes, that same Juanna who is bis father's bride is Leon's love. He is about to rush into the church to prevent the nuptials, when the organ peals forth and the wedding procession appears leaving the church. Leon and Juanna recognise each other; he flies from her presence, but is followed by his father, who would fain introduce his son to his bride. In the next scene Juanna and Leon meet alone. He is at first silent, but at length re proaches her bitterly with her falsehood, but when he has heard from her how she bad been forced into this marriage to save her father he relents, and she falls into his arms, when recollecting she is his father's bride, he leads her off, for though her heart is his h e r h an d i s ano th er s. Gomez has witnessed the latter part of this last scene, and enters agonized to madness with jealousy and fury ; his servant Lissardo has also witnessed it, and Gomez threatens him with vengeance if he dare dis close aught that he has seen, and then dispatches him after Don Leon to demand his instant attendance. Don Leon comes, and Gomez, refusing to hear him, works himself up to such a pitch of frenzy that, drawing his sword, he disowns Leon . as his son, and i ns i s t s on hi s d raw i ng and engag ing deadly combat. At this point Juanna enters, and, placing herself between the father and son, relates the truth. B owe d d own to the earth with grief and horror, Gomez joins their hands, declares that he will obtain from the Pope a dispensation to enable them to marry, and retires himself with Hermann to the cloister. The Gomez of Mr. G. V. Brooke is 'The of the mos t power f u l p i eces o f act i ng ever seen. The whole of the last scene was sublime. Never has the agony of wounded pride, of outraged affection, and of disappointed love been more vividly, more heartrendingly depicted, than by Mr. G.V. Brooke in the scene immediately following the discovery of his wife's supposed infidelity, and never has the hurri cane of rage, the madness of concentrated fury been more powerfully delineated than by Mr. G. V. Brooke in the scene which immediately follows with Don Leon. It is only equalled by Edmund Kean's last scene in Sir Giles'Overreach. The contrast between the torrent of passion in these scenes and the touching pathos and tenderness of the closing scene which immediately fillows was appreciated by Mr. G. V. Brooke with the taste of a scholar, and ren dered with the genius of a poet. Mr. Davenport's Leon was a fine manly, chivalrous performance, and Mrs. Mowatt's Joanna was full of tenderness and beauty-4t was an embodied poem. The piece was mounted in the most perfect manner, the scenery was beautiful,: and the costumes superb ; the bridal pro cession was gorgeous. The principal artistes were called before the curtain at the conclusion, and there were loud calls for the author, who walked across the stage, and was greeted with loud applause. The house was exceedingly well attended. SURREY THEATRE. Under the existing management the Surrey Theatre has become famous for the merit and number of its original productions. A master-spirit presides over its destinies, and its spacious stage is no longer made the vehicle for distempered melodramatic ro• mantes or mountebank buffooneries. Ne, it is de voted to a nobler purpose now ; it is a school cf morals where virtue and truth are enforced, through the agency of dramatic entertainments, that are as re markable for the beauty and purity of their diction as the accuracy of the living scenes and worldly pas sions which they pourtray. Some of our best dramatic authors are enlisted under the banner of the classical and accomplished manager, and the patrons of the theatre are promised a long series of carefully written productions that would reflect no discredit upon houses of fur greater pretensions. Last night one of them was given to the world in the shape of a five .act play, called Old Love and New Fortune, a title which has but very slight relation to the incidents of the piece. The principal character, if not the hero, is Sir Archibald Harcourt, in early youth the accepted suitor of a lady whom he loved to distraction, but his fstber dying suddenly, leaving him the inheritor of nothing but a name and a waste manor-house, his mistress forsakes him for another, and in a moment of frenzy he barters his hand for the daughter of a moneylending goldsmith. He is afterwards cheated of her dowry, and at the age of twenty-three, finding himself a beggared widower, the father of two infant children, a hoy and girl, he determined to seek a renewal of his shat tered fortunes in some tropical climate ; and with a view, " Through good and ill report—through shade and shine, Though they were starving—or of pestilence nottiag in gaol—or on the gallows-tree," to avenge the heartless falsehood of his first and only love on " her children and her children's children," he quits the shores of his native land, and leaves the manor-house and his children in the care of an old steward. Twenty years have elapsed, and the drama opens with his return in the character of an Indian nabob accompanied by an. orphan beauty bearing the appropriate name of " Eve," whom he had adopted as his daughter, and whose mother had saved his life when pestilence had brought him low at the cost of her own. " He comes back rich—restores his ancient ball To it old splendour; for his children sends, To make Oem share his joy." In his children he recognises a sombre scholar and a poet, and a gay, fine handsome woman of the world. Albert, the son, discovers that Margaret, the maiden to whom he is bethrothed, is no other than the surviving child of the lady, who in days gone by deceived his father, I but, like a true poet, he prefers being an alien to his ' father's heart and a disinherited outcast, to giving up his love dream, and actuated by a friend he marries Margaret, flies to London, and becomes the clerk of one Gripeall, a scrivener. On the other hand, Cybil his sister, while a neglected school-girl, ignorant of her destiny, is enamoured of La Roque, a ruined spendthrift, whose life is an enigma, and whose parentage is a mystery, but with the improve ment in her fortunes comes a change in her feelings for her former lover. Viewing her former love as " An empty folly, A dream—a fantasy—a schoolboy fame," she bid s La Roque not to meet her more, or to meet her only as a stranger. his passion, however, is not so easily cooled, nor is he quite satisfied of her sin cerity ind ismissing him, and he determines still to pursue his suit by strategy and disguises. Mean while a new c h arac t er conies upon the scene in Lord Overbury, an d L a R oque gets introduced to Sir Archibald H arcourt as the friend of that nobleman, who, ha v i ng taken a fancy to him, refreshes his thread bare coat, and makes hiin his half buffoon, half society. To test the sincerity of Sybil he makes love to Eve, and her pride thus attacked, and her jealously aroused, she in her turn, for the sake of revenge, falls in with her father's plans, and consents to play the part of Lord Overbury's fiancee. Thi s succee d s i n arousing the jealousy o f La Roque, and he hastens to the metro polis to seek counsel of her brother. Here he learns that Gripeall has suddenly" shuffled off this mortal coil," and while assisting, albeit, to arrange the deceased lawyer's papers, 'he chances. to fall upon a document which clears up the mystery of his birth, and proves him to be the victim of Lord Overbury, his uncle, who has usurped his title and fortune. Armed with this treasure, he hurries bank to the seat of Sir Archibald, and making the discovery known to Lord Overbury, he bargains with him to conceal the fraud fora time if his Lordship will consent to follow his directions in dealing with Sybil. He gets Lord Overbury and Sybil to sign a marriage contract, which the latter does at a moment when her jealousy is at its height, and then, to keep up the deception, he demands the hand of Eve of Sir Archibald. The solicitation is scornfully refused, and La Roque is ordered to quit the mansion as a base-born child of passion and of shame," which lead to a challenge and a meeting. La Roque is wounded in the contest, and it is told to Sybil that his wounds have resulted in death. Too late Sybil dis covered that she has sacrificed her happiness to pride, and, repenting of the past, she wreaks her vengeance upon Eve, who has been made the innocent tool of La Roque ; and then, finding that La Roque never loved Eve, she resolves to abandon Lord Overbury and seek solace in seclusion. Bereft of his children, Sir Archibald turns to Eve for consolation, and says to her— "Listen, Eve, • I 1 ave sworn an oath to wed no other wife, But can'st thou love me? Wilt thou stay beside me, Though they flout thee as a heartless By a rich dotard bought?" Leaving her to consider this strange offer, she reflects thus— " llis vow to we 3 no more—his emphasis On worldly scorns, that I might brave for him; The quick, bewildered rapture of his speech; His strange embrace,—his sudden breaking-off,— Like ono who leaves his purpose to be guessed;— Admit no doubt; or, if doubt be, so small, I might as wisely nurse it, as untwine One shred of gossamer to chain the streams When Winter brings down ruin from the hills 0, and is this your world ! your ancient name, Your honour, your protection?—Fare thee well, Realm of enchantment and of agony, I have tarried here too long.—But I have limbs To fly withal—a heart to bear me up!" Accordingly, she flies to the metropolis, and finds shelter beneath Albert's roof, whither also Sir Archi bald follows, in answer to a communication sum moning him to the death-bed of his son. He arrives in time to learn that La Roque, whose dissolution is a fiction, and Sybil, his daughter, are reconciled. La Roque throws off all disguise, and disclosing himself to be the real Lord Overbury, he preserves the honour of his name by allowing his uncle to escape to a fo reign land. Having previously, however, met with Eve, and become informed of the ambiguous nature of her guardian's proposal, he taxes Sir Archibald of his villany, when it happily transpires that Eve has misinterpreted his meaning. He wanted her not to give up the world at the expense of virtue, but to shut her ears to its taunts when she became the wife of a man so much her senior; and Eve, who really loves her guardian, at once accepts his hand and heart. There remains now only two actors in the drama to be disposed of, namely, Albert and Mar garet. La Roque, interceding with Sir Archibald in her behalf, urges him to forgive them, but there his vow stands in the way. How is he to get rid of this without forswearing himself? La Roque urges— " There is still A voice more deep than reason or than prayer! The heart's own voice, that speaks in starry night, In the pearled morning, in the haze of noon, Whenever man is holiest in the hand 01 man's Creator—whispering in his ear There are no wrongs forgiveness cannot reach, There are no vows of vengeance past recal If you have heard this voice, obey it now 1" This reasoning overcomes Sir Archibald's scruples of conscience, and the play terminates with a reconcilia tion between the father and son. Such is a brief outline of the main incidents of the drama. It is smoothly and here and there elegantly written, but the dialogue is decidedly too long; occasionally it is fanciful and passionate, but its success depends more upon the plot and the acting than upon the poetry. It was gracefully cast and well sustained throughout. Madam Ponisi threw much feeling into the part of Sybil, while Miss R. Malcolm, as the innocent, gentle, unsophisticated Eve, was eloquently touching, reading the language of her author with exquisite taste and pathos. Mr. Mead gave a highly finished portraiture of Sir Archibald Harcourt, and was ably seconded by Mr. Creswick, as the impassioned and reckless La Roque. Albert, the son, Lord Overbury, and Jeremy, the Steward, found admirable represen tatives in Messrs. Raymond, Collier, and Fitzroy. Nor must we omit mentioning the little part of Margaret, played by Miss Laporte with much skill and ability. The author, in the preface to the play, warmly acknowledges the good offices hehas met with at the hands of all who have assisted in producing his work, and, certainly, they well merited it, for nothing could surpass the exertions of the actors to secure its success, nor could it have been placed upon the stage with more care or elaboration. The scenery and dresses were truly splendid, realising the princely magnificence of an English nobleman's estate of the period of good Queen Bess. It was enthusiastically applauded from beginning to end, and, at the close, the author, Mr. H. F. Chorley, we believe the musical critic of the Athenceum, looked and bowed his gratitude from a private box, while Mr. Creswick, who seemed no less delighted at the triumph of the clever aspirant for dramatic fame, announced the play for repetition until further notice amidst a renewed burst of applause. QUEEN'S THEATRE. Last night a new drama entiled, The Bronze Statue; or the Virgin's Kiss, was produced at this neat little theatre; and the manner in which it is put on the stage reflects the greatest credit on Mr. Green, the talented manager, who seems to have spared no expense in its production. The several performers acquitted them selves creditably, especially Messrs. Green, Kingston, Manders, and Miss. M. Atkins ; in fact the whole of the company appeared to exert themselves to the ut most to insure the success of the piece. The scenery, by:Mr. James, the lessee, is first-rate, and frequently brought down the ppplause of the audience. At the conclusion, Mr. Green and the principal performers were honoured with a call to receive the plaudits of an overflowing audience. The piece was announcd or repetition every evening. POLY TECHNIC INSTITUTION. Last night Sir Henry Bishop commenced a course of lectures at this institution on the secular music of England. Ile observed of modern date how few of our poets had written for the lyric drama. Comp osers had now to adapt their melodies t o w o rds wi thout character, and often without sens e, so that their ideas were brought down too frequen tl y to a most degrad ing position. When music was in its infancy in England, and executed by very inferior singers, the greatest poets wrote for the composers—Shakspere's Tempest being the first piece baying anything like the characteristics of an opera in England. Sir Henry dwelt at length on the genius of Purcell, alleging that as a musician he was:equal to Shakspere as a dramatic, or Milton as an epic poet, illustrating this part of his subject by vocal accompaniment— " Come unto these yellow sands," and "Vull fathom five," " Where the bee sucks," Ex. Milton's C omas , by Dr. Arne, which was produced in 1738, was an im provement ; but thirty years later the same composer presented the public with the first complete opera in the languige— Artaxerxes, which, although complete and successful, was based on the models:of the Italian opera, then just introduced. Recitative, he re marked, was ill-adapted to English words, and although Handel had given us some fine specimens, showing that the difficulty might be His Royal Highness Prince Albert rode out on horse back yesterday morning, attended by Lieut.-Colonel the Hon.

A COMMON IN FLAMES.—Last evening, between five and six o'clock, information was received, almost simultaneously, at the various fire-engine stations in town, that a tremendous fire was raging in the direction of Nine Elms, Vauxhall.
