" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the'prima mobil'a of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school' of the Disraelis, Man- OXUS, and.

Every true Englishman will read with a feeling of approving pride the " plucky" declaration of Lord Joni; RUSSELL in the House of Commons last even ing, as to the intention of the Ministry with regard to the resolution by which the House of Lords, on Mon day, declared themselves Russian partisans rather than English senators. " I can answer for my Noble Friend," said Lord JOHN RUSSELL, "that he will act, not as the Minister of Austria or of Russia—(Ve hement and prolonged cheering)—or of France, or of any other country, but as the Minister of England.— (Renewed cheers.) I can answer for it, that we shall consult for the honour and the interest of England, and that to the maintenance of that honour and of that interest our conduct shall be in future, as it bas hitherto been, devoted.—(Loud and long-continued cheers)" These are noble words, such as CHATHAM would have uttered under similar circumstances, and not the least portion of their value is, that they have elicited from the semi-official organ of the Russian party in London a distinct declaration that in the view of that party it is the duty of the Foreign Minister of this country to be an Austrian, a Russian, or a French, rather than an English Minister, and that to maintain the honour and interest of England in op position to Austria, Russia, or France would be fol lowed by consequences too tremendous to be even hinted at. That such have been the motives actuating the Russo-Austrian clique we have had abundant evidence in every act of Lord ABERDEEN'S administrations, whenever for the misfortune m of his country he has been permitted to doze in the Foreign office as Chief Secretary. That the majority of the Peers, too, are of opinion that English honour and English interests should on all occasions be delibe rately sacrificed to gratify the caprice of the Absolu tist Powers is also but too clear from their vote of Monday evening ; but my Lord ABERDEEN only represents M. GUIZOT, and the Peers only re present themselves. The representatives of the people of England will be called upon to declare their sen timents on Monday, and we cannot doubt but that declaration will be in the words of Mr. Rox- BUCK'S proposed resolution—" That the principles which have hitherto regulated the foreign policy of her MAJESTY'S Government are such as were re quired to preserve untarnished the honour and dig nity of this country ; and in' times of unexampled difficulty were the best calculated to maintain peace between England and the various nations of the world." We cannot feel surprised at the indignation evinced by proprietors of land in Ireland at the fearful sacri fices of property that have been made at the sales under the Encumbered Estates Commission in that country. It is now certain that purchasers are still holding back, and not evincing that anxiety to become the owners of property held by a Parliamentary title, which was so confidently anticipated. There has been as yet no attempt on the part of the English capitalists to make investments in the sister kingdom. The consequence is, that the supply of land brought into the market very far exceeds the demand ; that prices have consequently been depreciated in many instances to less than one-half the real value. This downward tendency has been actually aggravated by the depressed and uncertain state of everything connected with Irish agriculture. The rejection of the clause brought forward last year for assigning a limit beyond which no demand for poor•rate could be made, had also an effect, in making buyers cautious. But, above a ll, th e p en d enc y o f Si r Joni( ROMILLT'S Bill, rch as whei.ro t which offered vast advanta ges t o p urc h ase rs, by enabling them t o i ssue d e b en t ures f or one -h a lf th e purchase-money, circulate n ey , payable from h by easy and instalments, hand iu and calculatedu the money-market, like a bank-note, contributed to pro duce this result. I t was true that the Commissioners in the exercise of th e i r discretion had very promulgated an ord er , to the effect that judiciously promulgated purchasers y might lodge only on e -h a lf of the purchase money for the time bein g ; but it was impossible to say how l ong that indulgence m i g ht be continued, or at what unexpected moment the balance might be called for. Neither could the ultimate fate of the Securities for Ad vances Bill be accurately known. It might be re mdeeaalatswimith- j e c t b e a d b l i e n t e h i a t t h e i r t w h l o o u u l s d e , baen veryd it w s u a s m b m y a r n i l o y pro in the Lords, if Ministers were not prepared to extend its provisions, so as to bring all classes of landed pro prietors — the solvent and unencumbered as well a, w h u efficacy b ; e c o became it me the operationne edy ; and or r it mi embarrassedght be - withinmutilated i t u h e its s progress r o e s f ss its e as to be altogether deprive d ofits might be made to apply only to persons purchasers after it bad received the Legislative sanction. For all these reasons capitalists, who had money at their disposal, were induced to hold back, and this inclination was increased by the knowledge of the enormous quantity of land ea be submitted for public competition, some of which was known to be most eligibly circumstanced. I_ 4 r ew properties, therefore, changed hands, save at most inadequate prices, and the result has been that estates have, in many instances, been sold at seven or eight years' purchase, and, in some instances, even at a lower figure. Many postponements have likewise taken place, the biddings being so very cautious that the Commissioners, notwithstanding their unquestionable anxiety to "do business' on anything approaching to fair terms, and their avowed determination to refuse " no reasonable offer," could not assent to the sacrifices that would necessarily have taken place. Under such circumstances it was that the Marquis of WESTAIEATH introduced his Encumbered Estates Act Amendment Bill, which received its third reading in the House of Lords on Tuesday evening. The measure itself, as originally framed, was not of a very important character. It merely went to the extent that an estate should not be offered for sale, under the Commission, unless the debts ac- tually and bona fide amounted to one-half the value of the entire property of the owner. Nothing is more common than that a certain denomination of land should be mortgaged for a small sum of money. The lands did not, perhaps, constitute the fourth part of the real property of the owners ; but still the net proceeds, after liquidation of all outgoings, did not exceed double the interest of the specific charges, or a receiver might have been appointed under what is in Ireland termed the " Sheriffs Act," and the property would thus be sold contrary to the spirit of the Act and the avowed inten tion of Parliament. It was to remedy ;his evil that the Noble Marquis brought forward his Bill. But a clause was introduced on Tuesday, which, like the postscript of a lady's letter, was of much greater importance than the original matter. The new clause provided that the Commis sioners should, before any sale, estimate the value of the estate to be sold, and not sell unless fifteen years' purchase on that ascertained value should be offered for it. This important clause was, after a brief but very anitnated discussion, carried by a majority of two, and added to the Bill. Although, however, we highly approve of the object of the Noble Marquis, and readily admit that _ _ a certain limit should be specified, below which estates should not be disposed of, we fear that the best mode has not been adopted for carrying that laudable intention into execution. Every per son in any degree acquainted with the nature of Irish property must know that some estates would be cheaper at thirty years' purchase on the ascertained rental than others would be at fifteen. The former maybe let to solvent and improving tenants, who have considerable interest in their holdings, and there might be the prospect of a considerable rise at no distant period ; the latter might be overrun by a set of pauper occupants, in direct hostility to the law, who, to use an expressive Irishism, would at any time rather " bring down a landlord than a woodcock," or "an agent than a partridge." Fifteen years' purchase might be less than half the value of the one—for instance of Mr. GARDE'S property at Duncomnick, which was in April sold by the Commissioners for forty-two s ears' purchase, while it might be more than a fair price for the other. The fair mode would be to have, at the demand of any person intereatd, whether as owner or er.cumbrancer, a valuation of the rate that should be obtained at a sale, and if 80 per cent. of that amount were not obtained, then that the sale should necessarily be adjourned. We trust that some such change will be made during its progress through the House of Commons. The other clause, which affords protection from arrest to the proprietors of " encumbered estates," pending the sale, is so manifestly just and equitable as not to require a single argument in its favour. It would he hard, indeed, if ♦indictive creditors could get summary remedies against the property, while they incarcerated the person of the owner, or that they could, through the intervention of the sheriff, prevent a person from attending during a proceeding of such vital importance to himself and family. The Sabbatarians are beginning to grumble at the success of the sham demonstration which they put up Lord ASULEY to make anent Post-office labour on the Sunday. Their principal organ in the press corn!. plains of the stringent manner in which the Govern ment have carried out the resolution, and if the Sabbatarians themselves were the only per sons inconvenienced, we should simply reply to them, Vous l'avez voulu, Georges Dandin, vous l'avez voulu, and urge the Ministry to give the worthies Sabbath observance to their heart's content, but, unfortunately, others are also inconvenienced, and among them many who have throughout this controversy fought the good fight of common sense, in opposition to blind fanaticism. The proprietors of weekly news papers, whose property will, in many instances, be absolutely confiscated by these new regulations, and who held a meeting yesterday on the sub ject, was brought under the consideration of the House of Commons by Mr. W. J. Fox, in reply to whom the Chancellor of the Exchequer said that 't he had never had the slightest doubt but that that arrangement would be productive of consi derable inconvenience, and Honourable Gentlemen seemed to be finding that out.—(Hear, hear.) He should not be at all surprised if in due time they should receive recommendations from their constitu ents which would induce them to reconsider their de cision upon the subject." It is evident, therefore, that the Ministers only wait for a little "pressure from without" to rescind the obnoxious regulation, and we hope the constitu ents in every part of the kingdom will give their Members instruction to support the motion of which Mr. LOCKE has given notice, for the first open day, for a further consideration and revision of Lord Am- LET's resolution. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The National has a long and very ably-written article on the subject of Lord STANLEY'S motion. The National thus exposes the intrigues of the Russian party in the House of Lords, which we ourselves have frequently denounced. In speaking of the speech of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, it says— "He hinted that the main object of the motion of Lord Stanley was to cause the failure of the negotia tions pending between France and Great Britain. He might have added, that the Cabinet of the Elysee, acting in concert with Lord Stanley, had If farded the conclusion of the a flair, in order to leave to the Tories a ground of debate which they judged excellent. This little intrigue Row exposed to observption c'early shows us the tendencies of the Elysi'e. It is, or at least it fain would be, with M. de Nesselrode and M. de Schwartzenberg against the Whig Cabinet, and with Lord Aberdeen, so dear to Louis Philippe. It hoped, by aiding Lord Stanley, to eject Palmerston from the Ministry—Lord Palmerston guilty of having recognised the Republic, and suspected iu consequence by all the Kings and Queens of Europe, not withstanding the services he has rendered them." The Assembly on Wednesday rejected the propo sition of M. ADELSWARD, to impose a tax of 5 per cent. on capital, by a majority of 330 to 264. The question of the dotation may be considered as virtually settled. M. DE I'LEDRaL has withdrawn his amendment in favour of one proposed by M. FUTOUL, to the terms of which the Ministry have, it said, as , .ented. The Futoul amendement is as follows : " There is opened to the Minist er of Finance, on the estimates of 1850, a credit of 2,160,000 f. for extraor dinary expenses of the Presidency of the Republic." The Bourse was exceedingly dull, and the price of Government stock was a shade lower than yesterday. The Five per Cents opened at 94f. 20c., fell to 941., ro se subsequently to 94f. 25c., and closed at 94f. 20c.; the Three per Cents closed at 56f. 50c. ; Orleans Railroad Shares, 755!. ; R iuen, 558 f. 75c. ; Great Northern, 447 f. 50c.; Avignon, 173 f. 750. ; Vierzon, 340 f. ; Paris and Strasburg, 326 f. 25c.; Tours and Nantes, 212 f. 50c.; the New Roman Loan, 76k.

GERMANY. On the 18th, the King of PRUSSIA laid the first stone of the monument to be erected in memory of the Prussian soldiers and officers who fell in the con flicts of 1848 and 1849. It was his MAJESTY'S first appearance in public since the attempt on his life. lie was warmly received. Count MEDEM, the Russian Ambassador at Ber:'n, has been recalled. FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1850: DENMARK The Free Press of the North, of the 16th inst., says it becomes more and more probable that the King of DENMARK seriously contemplates abdicating, a circumstance which would give the Danish ques tion a purely dynastic character. It is a good sign that Prince FREDERICK of Hesse is at Berlin. Tne following appears to have some truth :—The Prince FREDERICK will espouse the daughter of the Dowager Grand Duchess HELENA, and, aided by the influence of Russia, will as cend the throne of Denmark. The duchies will submit to the female line, and will obtain several concessions as to their internal government. Den mark will renounce the incorporation of the whole of Schleswig, the north part alone being incorporated. The south will be united to Holstein, and the KING Will become Duke of SCHLESWIG and HOLSTEIN. PERSIA. A conspiracy has been detected at Tabriz. Five of the conspirators were decapitated on the 31st May, and their bodies exposed, each with the head under the left arm, over the gates of the town. Nine were executed previously. SALAR, the chief of the rebel lion in Khorassan, and, I believe, uncle of the SHALT, has been taken prisoner, and been put to a cruel death, both his eyes having been torn from his head before decapitation. The satisfaction demanded by the British Government from the Court of Teheran, f p ro t e ction, had been given by th e P ers i an Govern morentth bastinadoing of an Armenian under British .e MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was tame, and prices of American at Gid. to 7d. were nearly kri. per lb. lower, and easier to buy. The sales were esti mated at 4,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export. The transactions comprised 3,500 Atneri- CaD' 200 Egyptian at 7id. t o Bd., an d 300 S urat a t 40. o e le to 50. per lb.—Railway Shares w ere dull. I n n Sugarm harkeeetsbethenis more ek extensively prices ha re been sold, and Tea has been ; 41 better demand. Coffee rather f t a h i e rl Cy o o s n t l e a i l o p ed ro . du c dull. Wool sells steadily at the auctions. Some Natal Cotton has realised high prices. The difficulty of adjusting the savings' bank system to the nice point which shall allow of full participation of benefits to the poorer classes, and yet not entail a loss upon the revenue by giving to parties of some means a higher rate of interest than they may be fairly entitled to, or at least could without risk obtain, is much in favour of the joint s t oc k banks, which are disposed to act with more than ordinary liberalty towards their customers, and, like their Scotch competitors, are neither chary of trouble,punctilious about the amount of balances, or averse to small and safe loans rather than anxious about those of a larger and more speculative character. Raving heard the frequent complaints of want of accom modation for the more humble but perfectly solvent traders, and the tendency of the joint-stock banks to launch out into a more wealthy connexion, in proportion as they acquired a fi rm f oo ti n g, we hailed with satisfac tion the entrance into the arena of another com petitor, and felt that if the promises of its pro jectors were carried out in their integrity, the Royal British Bank would be of great service to that portion of the community which was not provided for. This establishment has now branches in the Strand, at Lam beth, York-street, Westminster, and Islington, and in a private report made by the directors to the shareholders concerning the result of about six months' operations. very encouraging circumstances are stated. Of the de posit accounts for fixed periods of six months there have been opened . at the head office 318; of current or draw ing accounts, 8:101 ---; of discount accounts, 212; cash credits, 118; and isolated loans or advances on promis sory notes, with convertible securities, 30; making 1,517 accounts, or an average for the 156 days of about 10 new accounts and customers per day. That there has been no forcing of business we may infer by the fact. that although 118 cash credits, amounting to 69,9401, have been opened, offers for the like to the extent of 90,0001. have been declined. The discounts declined would have represented the sum of 156,600/., and the advances on promissory notes and convertible securities to 82,9001. The total amount received by the ;bank since its commencement has been 2,518,3891. 16s. 6J., and that paid 2,491,7861. 1 le. 3d., and this divided by 68,062, the , number of operations, gives an average for each transaction of only 73!. 12s. 2d., a corroboration of the assertion that the bank does accommodate the class who most need it, and especially those who never before deposited their surplus assets in a place of safety. It is highly creditable to the other joint stock banks in the metropolis that they bare most disinterestedly favoured the new establishment. Accounts from Amsterdam state that on the 19th the home Funds were still animate.), Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being 574. Spanish and Austrian were ra ther feeble. At Frankfort, on the 18th inst., Austrian Metallics were 79i. The boldness of Lord John Russell's declaration in Parliament, last night, as to the firm resolve of Govern ment to adhere to the policy hitherto pursued upon the Greek question, has discouraged a few of the more timid holders of, or speculators in, public securities; and al though very little is doing, prices are rather lower. On the other hand, those who feel that " truckling" is ever more dangerous than: consistency, are not in the least discouraged, and hence the limited sales made.

Increased supplies of English Wheat, 2,510 quarters, have been received up to our market this week coast wise. To-day the receipts by land carriage were triflng, but we had several of Monday's unsold samples on offer. Owing to the prevailing fine weather for the growing crops, and the small number of buyers in attendance, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was in a very inactive state, at barely last week's quotations. From abroad upwards of 12,000 quarters of Wheat have come in. Fine qualities of both red and white were held at full races of currency. In the middling and inferior kinds next to nothing was doing. In E❑glish Barley scarcely a transaction took place. The supply of Foreign was seasonably large. All kinds were a slow sale, but not cheaper. Malt was in mode rate supply and heavy demand, at last week's prices. Scarcely any English Oats were on show, and the quantity of Foreign was not large. On the whole, the Oat trade was steady, at late rates. Beans, Peas, In dian Corn, and Flour were very dull in sale. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. ' Wheat. Barley. 1 -- Oats. — l Qrs. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs.

In Pigs so little was doing that their value was almost nominal. Mach Cows sold at from 141 to 181 each, including their small Calf.

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS AND MEDICAL measure has been brought into the House of Commons by Mr..Newdegate, Mr. Spooner, and Mr. Adderley, to provide medical assistance in cases of accidents on railways. The preamble of the Bill recites that, whereas no action is now maintainable against a railway company by a surgeon called in by the servant of a railway company to render assistance to a passenger who has been accidentally injured, it is right and expedient that oftentimes the company in such case should be answerable for the services of the surgeon called in. It then proposes to enact that the servants of railway companies may call in surgeons in case of accidents, the acts of the servant to bind the railway company until notice is given to the medical attendant to the cor.trary. A railway company may recover expenses from .other railway com panies in fault, or from a passenger in fault ; and in the case of a " pauper passenger," the company is to have a legal right to recover from the overseers of the parish in w hi c h t h e accident happened. '1 he Act, it is proposed, sh a ll be affixed at every station along the railway. EXIIIDITION OF 1851.—We understand that the non-commissioned officers and privates of the Royal Sappers and Miners, quartered at Woolwich, have handed in to the local coUiraittee aria fi rst Ontriblition pf 91. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Master of the Rolls sat to-day in big court, in the Rolls yard, Chancery-lane, and heard motions, but nothing of interest occurred. _ The'fullowing notice was posted up in the RoIL; cffice to. day : "The Master of the Rolls will sit in the Rolls Court on Friday, the 21st, and Saturday, the 22d of June : "As Lori Commissioner, on Monday, the 24th, and Tuesday, the 25th of June : "At the Ras on Wednesday, the 26th ; Thursday, the 27th ; Friday, the 28th; and Saturday, the 29th of June." VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) His HONOUR sat in his court in Lincoln's Inn to-day, and heard unopposed causo petitions, short causes, and cause petitions, none of which possessed any feature of interest except to the parties concerned. His Honour will sit to-morrow; for the first time since his appoint ment, as one of the Lord Commissioners in Lincoln's Inn Hall, with Mr. Baron Rolf, to hear appeals. (Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) The part-heard case of Smith v. Smith occupied his Honour the whole morning. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK v. HARMER. The trial of this action, for an alleged libel, and which has occupied the Court the greater part of the day, has just concluded as we are going to press. The subject-matter of the alleged libel was a leading article written in this journal, on the 28th of June, 1849, commenting upon the trial of an action in this Court for an alleged libel, which appearel in the Weekly Dispatch. Lord CAMPBELL concluded his charge as follows: Gentlemen, you will take the paper into your hands, and you will say what is the fair meaning of the sen tences charged as libels. I must again say that you can form an opinion quite as well as I can on this subject, but I certainly never should have dreamt of their intending any such imputation as has been hinted at by the plaintiff. With respect to the language used, it certainly is severe; and it is for you to say whether it can be considered as a fair and honest com mentary upon the trial. If you come to the conclusion that it is not, then it will be for you to find a verdict for the plaintiff, with such damages as you may think proper to 'give. But I must say, in justice to the de fendant, that the imputation which the plaintiff himself deliberately cast on the defendant of being guilty of extortion, and of dealing in hush money, ought to go, in my mind, to diminish the amount of damages. These observations were pronounced with marked emphasis by his Lordship. The jury turned round in their box, and almost im mediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, ONE ►SHILLING . The verdict was received by the persons in the cour with clapping of hands. SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) DAILEY V. ROBSON. The plaintiff in this action is a ship broker in the City, and defendant is a shipbroker at Cardiff; the action was brought to recover the sum of 21/. 12e. 3d. premium and commission on an insurance effected by plaintiff at the request of defendant. The facts were very simple, defendant not denying the fairness of the charge; but ho had claimed twelve months' credit, which had been allowed., and bankrupt had since paid some sums on account, reducing the balance to 161. 83., for which sum a verdict was given. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (II fore Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE THE ALBERT SALOON.—IN RE BRADING. This bankrupt was the late proprietor of the Albert Saloon, Shepherd and Sheperdess•fields, and to-day was appointed for his last examination, which had been ad journed. The bankrupt now passed his examination. NATIONAL LAND SCHEME. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JUNE 20. O'CONNOR, MP., V. BRADSHAW. Mr. RoEBUCS, at the sitting of the Court, applied to their Lordships to rescind the decision to which they had come lately on the application of Mr. Sergeant Wil kins to defer the arguments in this case till the next term. The defendant had been prepared to argue the case in the recent term, but it had been deferred to the present sittings expressly to accommodate the Learned Sergeant, who now had procured a further delay of six, months on the same ground. This was felt to bo a hard ship and an act of injustice by his client, and ha might say that it was calculated to prejudice many poor people whose interests were deeply connected with this cause and the company. He was ready to make any personal sacrifice in order that this case might be disposed of at once, and he hoped that the Court would reconsider its determination in this matter. Mr. Baron PARKE—The attendance of the Chief Baron will be desirable. His Lordship will attend here in Mr. Gorham'a case, which is fixed for the 29th. If bis Lordship will consent to attend for this also, I see no reason why it should not be taken. Mr. ROEBUCK baying, in the meantime, obtained the assent of the Chi( f Baron, afterwards expressed his wish that this ease might be fixed to come on after that case to which rderence had been made. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Very well, let it be so. We will take O'Connor v. Bradshaw after the Bishop of Exeter's case, if we survive it.—(Laughter.) Mr. ROEBUCK would gladly take the appointment on that contingency. lie hoped their Lordships would sur vive the case in question; at all events, the Court would. The matter then dropped.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert honoured the per formance of La Tempesta with their presence last evening, and seemed highly delighted both with the opera itself and with the manner in which it was put on the stage. Her Majesty during the course of the performance frequently applauded Madame Sontag, Mdlle. Carlotta Grisi, and Lablache, and seemed exceedingly amused by the "ponderous levities" of the latter in his saltatory performacce at the close of the second act. The Nepaulese Ambassador and suite occupied the box next to her Majesty. The house was crowded in every part, and as it was the night of the drawing-room, and the greater number of the ladies who had been present at the drawing-room were at her Majesty's Theatre in the evening, the coup d'ffil presented by the audience part of the house was brilliant in the extreme. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. The Prvphete was performed here last evening for the rentree of Madame Viardot, whose Fides has lost none of its immense power since last season. It is one of the finest displays of histrionic power on the lyric stage. Madame Castelien appeared for the first time in this country as Bertha (a character she created in Paris), and sang and acted with exquisite grace. Mario, as the Prophet, was as perfect as ever, and Formes added immensely to the strength of the cast by his energetic delineation of Zsccherias.! This opera was magnificently put upon the stage. The house was very well attended. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Last evening a burlesque, entitled The Enchanted Isle, was performed at this theatre for the first time. The piece is not new—having been played last season at the Adelphi—but the subject being that of Shakspere's Tempest, some few alterations have been made with a view to render the burlesque applicable to the operatic performance at her Majesty's Theatre. The authors of this production—the brothers Brough—have written a new prologue, introducing the ghost of Shakspere and a popular comedian (represented by Buckstone), and conveying, in the form of a parody upon a scene in Hamlet, some sarcastic allusions to the joint produc tion of Messrs. Scribe and Ilalevy. This prologue was delivered by Mr. Stuart, and was received with much favour by the audience. It is quite unnecessary to mention in detail the various peculiarities of the piece or to criticise the performances of the actors. It will be sufficient to say that the cast of characters was different from that at the Adelphi Theatre, and that the change was certainly for the better. The principal fea ture in the piece was the Ariel of Miss P. Horton, who it will be recollected formerly sustained the same cha racter in Shaltspere's play at Covent-garden Theatre. The other parts last night were pla)e , i by Mrs. Fitz william, Mr. Buckingham, Messrs. Buekstone, Bland, Selby, and others; and each endeavoured to give humo rous effect to the burlesque. Buckstone's Caliban was a rich piece of drollery, and was the more grotesque from the absurd contrast it presented to Lablache's perform ance of the same part at the Opera House. The piece was effectively put upon the stage, and was very favour ably received. VAUXHALL GARDENS. The second Bul Masque of the present season in these tinag-honoured grounds took place last night, and from midnight to sunrise the gardens were thronged to overflowing with, to say the least, as gay and orderly an assemblage as we have ever witnessed on any similar occasion. Untiring was the spirit of the dancers to the strains of three admirable bands, and the remarkable profusion of female loveliness in varitd and becoming costumes must have satisfied the Nepauleso Envoy, Prince Jung Bahadoor and his suite, who paid an unex pected visit to the glittering realms of Terpsichore. Several of the characters were dressed in excellent taste, the palm being unanimously accord( d to a group of dancers of the era of Sir Roger de Coverloy. The spi rited management of Mr. Wardell deserves every success, and we sincerely trust that in his next masquerade he may be equally fortunate in the fineness of the weather, and in the joyousness and harmony of his festive and tnulitudinous patrons. CREMORNE GARDENS. Nearly 16,000 of the London public were yesterday .doomed to most serious disappointment at these g ardens, in consequence of his Excellency the Nepaulese Ambas sador and suite having expressed a determination to visit the place, and, without any explanation, failing to do so. Most extensive preparations were made for their entertainment, in the shape of a balloon ascent, extra il luminations, and additional band and fire-works. A re ception-room, which had been fitted up expressly for his Excellency in the Eastern style, cost nearly 100 guineas. As the evening advanced considerable dissatis faction was exhibited by the visitors, and Mr. Simp son (the director) addressed the audience from the orcbe,ttar assuring them, in a mint emphatic manner, that as late ; as two o'clock that day he had been at the residence or the Ambassador, who signified his intention of visiting the gardens. The performances were then permitted to proceed, and, by way of recompense for any dissappointi ment, the band continued pl a yi ng , an d d anc ing was kept up till a late hour. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, JUNE 12.—The French'steamer from Bolo' and Alexandria, due here contemporaneously with ibe India mail, has this instant arrived. This fa t alone is sufficient to show the remarkable voyage made by the Indus. She left this for Alexandria at 11 o'clock A. of the 31st ult., and, after making her port, was obliged to lay off during the night, since at sunset all C Omeln" nication ceases. She had then to get rid of a difficult cargo, her horses, &c., brought as a present to the Viceroy, and take in her coal; and yet, with all th ig ' she completed her passage from Malta and back in 20 3 1 hours, at least 24 hours being consumed in delay, en d the necessary duties of the ship. The activity shows b 7 Mr. Davidson, the company's agent at Alexandria, e 0 titl. s him to the greatest We have been alarmed by reports of the choleraf having manifested itself in Malta, in c onse quence three persons, two in the lazaretto and one en 'W e i having died, they having arrived here trom the coast 0 Barbary, where a disease said, and perhaps truly, to be cholera, is decimating the people. In consequence of n , ° sanitary measures having been adopted, the last arrivals from Sicily brought us information that the genital, department at Naples bad imposed a quarantine of 1 1 days' duration on all arrivals from Malta, threaten in g' moreover, to refuse all communication, and thus to en s : pend our commercial relations, should th e disease app ea r here. In consequence, a petition was m a d e to the ti c ' . vernor, signed by 1,600 persons, praying the imposition of a quarantine of observation on all arrivals from SW' Gherbi, Tunis, &c., a hicb, however, passed unheeded. The merchants then addressed the Governor from the Chew; ber of Commerce, and yesterday a meeting of the Boo" of Health assembled, and, after much deliberatio m a quarantine of observation of ten days was agreed to by a majority of two, tLe numbers being, four for, and against. It appears, however, that the reports ° cholera are not substantiated, and the wee kly medic returns from 21 easels, &c., show the island never t° have been in better health than at present. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Stromboli stall sloop, Commander, Lord Amelius Beauclerk, came into harbour yesterday to repl e ni s h f ue l p r i or to starting 1 : company with the Royal yacht to Gibraltar on Moab; it is reported. The Cuckoo steam-vessel, Commander Dumaresq. O p paid off yesterday. The Wellesley Indiaman sailed this morning. The Sealark, 8, Commander Sotheby, is ordered to ready by Tuesday next to sail for Plymouth to ship th e mail for the coast of Africa. The Dolphin, 3, is ordered to sail with all dispatch the coast of Africa. To-day being the anniversary of the accession of be!

FLORAL FANCIES. (From the Ladies' Companion.) Welcome! gleams of green—of amber! Children! playmates! out and see, Floating from her ice•bound chamber, Spring, the flower-crowned spring set free! See her blue eyes glad to weeping, O'er the wau world oped anew; O'er the meads fresh waters leaping, Silvery• stepp'd, and tuneful too! Singing, ringing, wildest measure, Wild as if gone mad with pleasure! Now the warm rays' noonday brightness Wakes the sleepy flowers below— Some like gentle ghosts all whiteness— Some like maiden cheeks that glow— Jonquils pale—how pale! but sweeter, Richer than the rose of June; Daffodils whose day is fleeter; Born like smiles and lost as soon. Pansies clad in wondrous glory, Rare as kings in eastern story. Yonder, where the sparkling showers Fall like music heard in sleep, There have burst the crocus flowers, Laughing out while cloudlets weep. Time of beauty—time of blessing— Sunny childhood of tbe year! Earth so lorn ere thy caressing, Blooms like one whom angels cheer: Kiss her, clasp her, tend her kindly, She has sorrowed long and blindly. Sorrowed childless, bloomless, blighted, Like a mother gone distraught— Ah! that young smile rapture-lighted, Nestling there new life hath wrought; Lilies weave her brow's soft splendour, Crown'd with gems—the jewel-dews. Violets dark her mild eyes render, Almond-pink her cheeks suffuse! Kiss her, clasp her—soundest slumbers Soon must melt at such warm numbers. O'er her shoulders thickly streaming ➢lay's laburnum knots of gold; Ringlets rich in radiance gleaming, As were Absalom's of old! Now she wakes—she pants—she rises— Standing 'midst the milk•white boughs, Bride like! full of sweet surprises, Bride-like! blushing while she vows. Now ehe walks the world in beauty- - Now sweet Love becomes a duty. E. E. SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIE S.
