Another demonstration of the popular distaste for the, cant and bigotry of the Sabbatarians was given, it will he observed, last evening, in the Freemason& Tavern, with the veteran reformer the Member for lfchitrose as chairman. Any movement of this character is certain to enlist our sympathies in its behalf at all times, but more especially at the present moment, when the Parliamentary session is rapidly dra,wing to a close without the public being relieved from the serious inconvenience to which it has re cently been subjected through the surprise contrived 'between the days of the Oaks and the Derby by cer tain . well-meaning, but ill-judging fanatics. Knowing, as we do, the deplorable confusion, both social and commercial, resulting from the cessation of all pbstal communication throughout the United Kingdom, it it impossible for u', es public journalists, to do otherwise thou await a return to the previous mode of arrangement with the utmost imaginable degree of solicitude. This might reasonably be pre dicated of us by our readers ; and certainly our pre disposition to oppose the diffusion of these most per nicious principles of religious hypocrisy is only in creased by the irritation displayed against their more rational and enervtic antagonists by the advocates and apologists of superstition. According to the logic of these latter wiseacres, we anti- Sabbatarians are under the direct instiga tion of the Old Gentleman. And certainty to judge from the petulant lucubrations of our contem porary the Morning Herald, our opponents, the Sabbatarians, are under the immediate instigation of the Old Lady. Whether this conjecture be correct or erroneous, it !ufficiently undeniable that the ague of the pia/ are for .iirtually .i-+Vv'N ignoring, in a social and commercial sense, the exist ence of fifty-two days in every twelvemonth, have latterly assumed a tone of personality and vin dictiveness which seem to indicate a painful consciousness of insecurity. To add somewhat more to this anxiety on the part of our Sabbatarian antago nists, we would sententiously remind them of a truth which they seem to have altogether overlooked, namely, that the conduct of any department of the administration is only to be influenced by the force of public opinion, and not by the flourishings of a ging ham umbrella. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE, as well as each of his Ministerial colleagues, may be convinced by argument, his judgment may be affected by manly remonstrance, but he will remain altogether un moved and unaffected by a paroxysm of literary hysterics. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the impression of a certain class cf quidnuncs, who are consequently accustomed to indulge themselves at periodical intervals, now in a fit of stormy w•eepings and lamentations over the sinfulness and degene racy of the population, now in violent and most vituperative personalities levelled at the conscientious supporters of a different scheme of regulations. One satisfactory deduction at any rate may be drawn from this practice on the part of one or two almost isolated contemporaries, namely, that the cause of intolerance is only brought more and more into disrepute in proportion to the numerical accumulation of these evidences of ultra fanaticism. Our difference of opinion with the Sabbatarians is altogether so complete and diametrical, that we cannot coincide with those Liberals in and out of the Rouse of Commons, who are for allowing the Saints to "run themselves out" to a state of exhaustion, and then to be dexterously creeled in like a plethoric trout, With this laudable but, to our thinking, very cul pably directed intention of circumventing the up holders of Sunday stagnation, some of the advocates of anti- Sabbatarianistn are for giving their opponents full fling, for 3 ielding in every respect to their re quirements, and for thereby demonstrating their de mands to be utterly impracticable. In this we can didly avow at once that we regard our associates as being altogether mistaken. 'We have assuredly had sufficient experience already of the lengths to which our dear brothers the fanatics will go, if they are only afforded opportunity. Besides which, enough mischief has already resulted from their interference to render us particularly anxious to prevent the con tinuance of this disastrous system of concession. As a brilliant and conclusive argument in favour of this prevention, we transcribe the following passage from a masterly article in the current • number of the Quarterly, in which the folly and unreasonableness of this preposterous scheme of the Sabbatarians is thus felicitously demonstrated:— " Without referring to extraordinary political emer gencies, such as those which caused the battles of Aboukir. Delhi, Viwiera, Ciudad Itodrigo, the Pyrenees, Orthes, Toulouse, New Orleans, and Waterloo to be fought on a Sunday, and without the slightest desire to impute to any party extreme opinions, it is clearly evi dent that if no work whatever is to be done on she Sab bath; if on that day no cows are to be milke:l; no horses, domestic animals, or poultry fed; if no sentinel is to pace before public stores, or no policeman to watch over the lives and properties of the Queen's subjects; if no fire-engines are to be used; if no street-lamps are to be lighted, no main water-pipes turned on, or no one be permitted to guide off the sewerage of great Cities; and lastly, if the public should creditably determine on no accJunt whatever to ride, drive, or travel—it would then be highly proper that mail-bags should everywhere be stopped in their progress to join in the general syst em; but inasmuch as it is undeniably more wicked for man kind to move and journey on Sunday than for the opinions, Ste., they recorded, sealed up, and posted on Saturday to do so, it certainly does appear that for the attainment of their praiseworthy object the petitioners might have made a more judicious selection. For in stance, have the 400,000 p'ersons who have petitioned for a total stoppage of the transmission of the letter bugs of this country on Sunday, considered what con tribution they tbem,elves could offer to the holy object they desire to attain ? Have they considered, or tattier—discarding opinions fur figures—have they calculated that, by ' a total stoppage' of ' all manner of work' in their houses, it is in their own power at once to relieve ' their men-servants or their maid-servants' from the manual labour of mak ing on every Sabbath-day 400,000 beds, of dusting say 1,200,000 rooms, of lighting say 800,000 fires, of prepar ing 1,200,000 hot meals, of fetching, spreading, and re moving at least 8,500,000 cups, saucers, plates, dishes, knives, fork 4, spoons, water-bottles, jugs, and mugs ? In 'simply demanding that the metropolis should be the model to be imitated in all postal matters in every town and city throughout the kingdom,' have they reflected that, although the quantum of labour required in the London Post-office would render it impracticable as well as highly improper to continue it on the Sabbath day, the time /lutes, ary fur sorting the letters (the desecration of which they so strenuously compiain) does not, in the majority of small post-towns, exceed that which their own servants expend in making for each of them on Sunday, say a plain batter pudding? And yet, though they see no harm whatever in finishing their dinner by se allowing the latter, they scrupulously strain at the continuance of the former. In short they grant indulgences to their own bodies which they deny to the nation's mind I" After tbis unanswerable epitome of the whole question of Sunday delivery, it were supeifluous to comment further at the present moment upon a sub ject of discussion already scrutinised more or less in all its hearings by the vast bulk of the community. Enough for us that the counter-movement has already commenced in earnest, and that in the meeting of yesterday the public had a foretaste of those subse quent demonstrations which are destined ultimately to dissipate the day-dreams of the Sabbatarians— nightmares to the rest of the multitude. The discussion on the case of Baron ROTHSCHILD has terminated fur the present. The House of Com mons, after rejecting the amendment brought forward by the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Montrose by a majority of 62, carried the two'resolutions pro posed by the Attorney-General—the first, which de clares that " the Baron DE ROTHSCHILD is not en titled to vote in the House, or to sit in the House during any debate, until he shal tbke the oath of ab juration in the form appointed by law," by a majority of 74 ; the second, pledging the House " ar the ear liest opportunity in the next session of Parlia ment to take into its serious consideration the form of the oath of abjuration, with a view to relieve her MA.ixsTl's subjects professing the Jewish religion," by a majority cf 36. As we predicted on Friday, the position of parties was alto gether changed on the two divisions, those who strenuously opposed the former resolution being strongly in favour of the latter, while the opponents of civil and religious liberty, who hailed the recession of the Liberal Ministry to their ranks, and re joiced to find that those who were borne to office by the people chiefly because they had evinced an anxiety to do away with all restrictions and to re move every vestige of intolerance from the national statute book, had become sticklers for "forms," desi rous of straining the law beyond its purpose, and looking to its letter rather than its spirit, most energetically resisted the proposition which would bind the House to provide a suitable remedy for the admitted grievance on a future occasion. The " Mi nisterial hangers-on" and the " waiters on Provi• dence," however, turned the scale on each occasion, and the result is precisely what we anticipated. Although, however, they have succeeded to a certain extent, Ministers have but little cause for re joicing at their triumph; and their position might iLp d a e d v o o p ti t o e n d it have been very different indeed had Baron DE unfortunatell to a themore o iu er decided fai course.faire Their policy—their anxiety to avoid every question of or doubt difficulty, induced them to violate their n dis t . l t promises to carry the Parli amentary Oaths throughßill e the popular branch of the L eg i s l ature at least during the present session, promise s w hi c h i nduced the representative A great cause, and th e influernial and enlightened of constituency by whi c h h e h a d b een elected, to con sent to his prolonged exclusi on f rom the rights and privileges of his position, and the partial disfranchise • meat of the metropolis of the British empire. They also materially damaged the question about which they professed to feel a deep interest by their most injudicious Frccrastination. Twice had the House of Corrin:ons Tossed Bills for the removal of what was supposed to be the Jewish disabilities, twice bad these ju3t and salutary measures been rejected in the Upper House. But, as the Honour able Gentleman the Member for Buckinghamshire truly remarked, it was on the second occasion "dis cussed in a spirit of mitigated hostility, and was rejected by a majority less than before." "An inci dent of a very significant character" then occurred. The Honourable Gentleman, with a high-minded and laudable anxiety to ascertain the feelings of his con stituency—to learn whether the hostility of the Home of Lords to his claims had altered their favoirable impressions, accepted the Chiltern Hundreds., and ap pealed de novo to their suffrages. The result was truly gratifying, reflecting the highest !lemur on the citizens of London, and showing them th be indeed worthy of the elective franchise, the highest privilege of freemen. On the former election it might have been considered a personal question between Baron DE ROTHSCHILD and the other candidates, and it was a legitimate source of pride that he occupied a higher position on the poll than such men as Mr. JOHN MASTERMAN and Sir GEORGE LARPENT ; but on the second the matter assumed a totally different aspect. It was no longer " the man", but " the cause" that was concerned, and any worthy professor of the Jewish religion would have received as many votes as Baron DE ROTHS CHILD. The question of civil and religious liberty was involved in the issue, and the citizens cf London bad ever occupied a prominent position in such cop tests, the post of honour had ever been freely yielded to their pre-eminent claims on all such occasions. The result did not disappoint the general anticipations ; Baron DE ROTHSCHILD—the champion of the Jewish claims— was re-elected by an overwhelming and most trium phant majority—by almost as many hundreds as he had units en the former occasion. A glorious illus tration was thus afforded of popular feeling, and it might have been expected that the Lords after such a demonstration would have abandoned their opposi tion to the voice of public opinion. It was a golden opportunity, that should not have been neglected or lost sight of, of which every possible advantage should have been taken ; but, unfortunately, the " do nothing " propensities of the Cabinet interfered. The matter was first postponed under specious pretexts until a late period of the session, and then quietly thrown over to another year, on the allega tion that there was not sufficient time to get through the pressing business before Parliament. The Lords were thus permitted to suppose that the Commons had retired from the contest ; they certainly aban doned their ground, and left the victory in the hands of their opponents. This vacillating and undignified course, so unworthy of the chosen representatives of the people, and of the sacred cause in which they were engaged, would necessarily encourage their lordly ad versaries, and lead to additional obstructions being interposed, not only on the question of the Jewish disabilities, but on other topics of absorbing interest, whenever they might arise. We believe no impartial person, independent of Govern ment influence, can hesitate in saying that the entire circumstances of the case are exceedingly discreditable to Ministers, who deserve severe cenaure for their conduct in the entire case—censure which their tardy pledge to take the sul - ject into their serious consideration at " the earliest opportunity" in the next a ession of Parliament cannot entirely remove. But, cui bono, for what object have they thus im plicated th emselves ? Was it the pressure of more urgent business, or a want of time to pass the mea sure through its various stages ? What business, we ask, could have been more urgent than the removal of that last vestige of intolerance from the national statute book, that fouls blot from the national escutcheon ? We believe, we are firmly convinced, that there was no subject brought forward during the entire session in which the feelings of the people were more deeply interested, or in which a greater anxiety was enter tained for the performance of a simple act of justice. If " want of time " was the pretext, how can they justify the frequent " countings out," by which many valuable hours were wasted, and which might have been averted if ordinary precautions were taken ? Again we may ask, did they really gain time by the unwise and injudicious course they adopted ? Would not a Bill, which had already been twice under the consideration of the House, and which had been fully and amply discussed in all its details, have been carried through in less time than was expended in the debates on the new points raised ? We believe that there can be no second opinion on this point, and that it will be universally admitted, by all but the prejudiced and biassed opponents of all reform, that the Government have most gratuitously, most unnecessarily, and most uselessly exposed themselves to the unpleasant predi cament in which they are now placed. It must also, we think, be admitted that Baron DE ROTHSCHILD treated the Ministerial backsliding with great leniency, and • cautiously avoided the course that would have involved them in still greater diffi culty. We believe that his supportera within and without the walls of Parliament would have been better pleased had he acted more vigorously—if the issue raised had been, whether he should be at once admitted to take his seat and vote in the House. The resolution brought forward by Mr. Hume was merely to the effect that the question was involved in dot . ibt, and that a declaratory Bill should be introduced next session respecting the due ad ministration of that oath. Had the amendment been carried the matter would still have remained unde cided, and we can easily understand that many per sons would, like Mr. DISRAELI, have objected to vote for either the original motion or the amendment. We are quite convinced that it was not a dread of per sonal consequences that induced the Hocourable Gentleman to remain so far quiescent, but a desire to spire the Government, of which his Noble Colleague in the representation of the city ef London was the head, the unpleasant consequences that might have followed a more decided proceeding. As it is the matter is now adjourned until next session, unless some independent Member will, even at the eleventh hour, bring forward a measure for the relief of his Jewish fellow-subjects, and thus ascertain whether Ministers will oppose a Bill of which they acknow ledge the propriety and justice. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The following have been appointed by tbe Minister of the Interior members of the Committee of Censor ship of Theatres :—Examiners—M. Florent, M. Cari tan, M. Pelissier, M. de Meynard, and M. Neveu. Inspectors—M. Plante and M. Louis Boyer. Secre tary —M. Victor Halla3 s. Before the revolution of Fwbruary, MM. Florent, Plante, and Louis Boyer held the same offices as those to which they have been appointed, and M. Caritan was employed in tbe former Committee of Examination. M. KEBATRY has published a long letter in reply to the one written by M. GUIZOT on the subject of education. The letter of M. KERATRY is one long laudation of the Jesuits, who, according to this gen tleman, are persecuted if they are prevented from per secuting others and for whom the liberty of persecut ing all Protestants is claimed accordingly. That they are not indisposed to use, or more properly speaking, to abuse this liberty of persecution, is evi dent from the conduct of the worthy Bishop of MON. TALBAN, who has forbidden the Catholic Chaplain of the College of Montauban from appearing at the distribution of prizes at the College, or from taking any part in the ceremony, commanding him to tribute the prizes for religion in his own chapel, with out ceremony, and assigning as a reason the fact that Protestant students are received at the College cf Montauban, and that the worthy ecclesiastic might become contaminated by the contact of a Protestant. These are the first fruits of the enjoyment of power by M. DB MONTALEMBBBT and the parti• pretre. In the southern departments the Jesuits are in triguing with the municipal councils to procure the suppression of the public schools and the surrender of the school-houses to the bishop of the diocese, and in Arles and Turrascon they have succeeded. The Paris papers state that M. TRIER S is at Brus sels, where he has had several interviews with Prince METTER?iICM. _ Accounts from Marseilles state that there has been no renewal of the outbreak, but that the agitation occasioned by the suppression of the sanitary com mittee still continued. The Council of Arrondissement of Montpellier bas adopted a resolution inviting the executive to reject any proposition that may be made in favour of a re vision of the Constitution before the period legally appointed for that purpose. The same council has also adopted another resolu tion condemnatory of the tax on spirituous liquours, which it pronounces " unjust and vexatious." Madame MattLlANt, whose saloons have long been filled by the most clistingui , hed personages of the capital and of foreign countries, died in Paris on Friday night.

The Danes at Eckenforde, though they have not taken possession of the Getion, have compelled the Prussian troops on board her to take down the Prussian flag and hoist a vthite one, in sign of neu trality.

ITALY Accounts from Rome state that the attempt at the assassination of NARDONI was a got-up affair, con cocted by the worthy chief of the police himself, who it appears did not receive a scratch. There was in the time of GREGORY XVI. a certain NARDoNI who had been condemned for theft, and who occupied the a p t o t s e t m o p f ts chida at a s sassinat ion, of who was noted for getting up in order, in conjunction with the pretended assassin, to denounce and arrest those who were obnoxious to his employers. Accounts from Naples state that the Neapolitan Government has admitted in principle the English claimi made by Lord PALMERSTON, and the amount alone now remains to be settled. The Opinione, of Turin, of the 31st ult., publishes the sentence pronounced by the Court of Appeal of Sassari against Archbishop VARESUcI. It is as fol lows : " Monsignor the Commander Alexander Dominic Varesini, Archbishop of Sassari, born at Casal Carmelli, in the province of Alexandria, 52 years of age, confined in his archiepiscopal palace since the 31st of May last, is accused or having, by his circular of the 6th of that month, forwarded to the parish priests of the town and addressed to all the clergy of his diocese, openly preached the violation of the law of the 9th of April last; and thus excited the contempt and discontent of the clergy towards the Government. The Court of Ap peal, sitting in that town, has declared, and hereby de clares, the Archbishop Alexander Dominic Varesini convicted of the charge directed against him, and con demns him to one mouth's imprisonment from the date of his confinement, and to the costs; but, as he has al ready undergone the penalty, the Court orders him to be set at liberty." LAMBETH ELECTION-THIS DAY STATE OF THE POLL. The returning officer for the borough having appointed eight o'clock this morning for the commencement of the polling, the grestest exertions were made on behalf of all the candidates to bring their supporters to the poll, but it was quite apparent to all after the first hour's polling that Mr. Williams was the most likely candidate to obtain the vacant seat.

A new farce is announced for 'Thursday. Mrs. Fanny Ketnble's Readings of Shakepere at the St. James's Theatre have been attended by the Duchess of Sutherland and Lady Constance Gower, the Dowager Countess of Essex, Earl of Cork, Earl of Mandeville, Earl and Countess of Glanville, Countess Powis, Earl and Countess of Eb!ington, Viscount and Viscountess Canning, Lady William Russell, Lady E.

Ora-narlc TEIEATRE.—Last night the celebrated butTo dancer, Mr. Flextuore, commenced a short engagement at this theatre, making his first appearance as Scgratnouch, in the pantomime of Dim 7uan.

Last night a new Italian comic pantomime, entitled The Origin of Harlequin, was pro duced, under the direction of that clever pantomimic artiste Herr Deulin; and, fearless of contradiction, do we assert that, with the exception of the metropolitan patent theatres, we have seldom witnessed a production so complete in its en semble, or one which reflects more credit on the management and the talented corps pantomimique who so efficiently con tributed to its success. Herr Deulin as Arlechino, and Ma dame Theodore as Columbine, elicited most deserved and rapturous applause from a densely crowded sale. Nar can we omit a word of commenda , ion on the humorous agility thrown into the character of Pierrot by Mr. Seymour. In fact, individual praise would be invidious where each and all so fairly merited their meed of applause. On to-morrow evening we perceive, by the bills, that that dauntless aerial voyageuse Mrs. Graham ascends in a balloon from the gar dens, accompanied by a number of fair companions. Of a verity Mr. Simpson labours bard in his vocation to obtain that success which, though he cannot command, he most undoubtedly deserves. . ARE VICEROY STEAMER.—A private letter in the Nah Scotian states that the Viceroy steam-vessel will be got off, owing to the exertions of her crew, aided by the crews of her Majesty's steamer Columbia, and the Plumper sloop, Commander M. Nolloth, sent by the admiral to assist in floating her. The Viceroy is bilged under the engine room, a large hole being knocked in her bottom. About GOO casks have been procured, aad have been applied for the purpose of floating her. BANQUET IN YORK. TO THE LORD MAYOR 01 LONDON.—Tha banquet intended to be given at York to the Lord Mayor of London is to take place on Friday, the 25th of October, this day having been named by his Royal High ness Prince Albert, who has graciously signified his intention to take part in the entertainment. The Lord Mayor of York, and 104 of the mayors of the principal boroughs in the United Kingdom, will on this occasion make a return to the splendid hospitality shown thaw at the Mansion-house, and the committee which has been appointed from the number to carry out the necessary arrangements will invite the Royal Commissioners of the Exhibition of 1851, the Executive Committee, and secretaries, with "such other noblemen and gentlemen as they may think most. interested in the objects of the meeting." Each mayor is invited to appear at the banquet in his robes of office, and is further requested to procure a banner, with his own arms, or the arms of his city or borough, delineited thereon, for the purpose of decorating the Guildhall of York, which is to be the scene of the enter tainment. To give your opinion, before required, looks like upbraiding another's ignorance, or overvaluing your own Eliza Conk's Journal.

The Cotton Marlc,t at Liverpoul yesterday was firm at previous rates, the sales being estimated at 10,000 boles, of which 1,000 American and 500 Brazil were t►keu for export, and 3,000 American and 500 Surat on speculation.—ln Railway Shan s a fair businees was done at advanced rates. The markets for produce are tolerably eteady, and the col-own:pawl generally is good. Tea and cotton are still the favourite articles. It is useful to remind those who deny the potency of English example, that in the matter of tariffs foreign countries have really been imitating us to a greater ex tent than might be supposed by the opponents of a liberal commercial policy. Denmark within three years hal abolished its cure-laws and lowered the duties on coals and woollen manufactures; Belgium made many concessions to foreign traders, both in reference to cus toms and navigation in the year 1848, and in the subse quent year ex tensivfly modified the impost upon exports; France has loss end the scale of duties on sago, plate glass, salt, narikeens, Ste.; Holland made changes in 1846, and is now considering the expediency of improving its navigation code; the German Union is deliberating still upon the new scale of duties; Spain made a sweeping alteration last 3 ear; and Sardinia, Tuscany, and Purnai have each lowered their duties, principally on ertieles of food. All our Colonial possessions are approximating to the free-trade principle, and the United States, in the face of considerable opposition, has maintained its liberal tariff of 1846. We will venture to predict that the Continental States will be greatly encouraged to follow our policy, when they bear of such flourishing revenue arid Board of Trade returns as have lately been given in The Sun. A Toronto journalist alluding to the loan for Canada recently contracted, observes t—" Atter all there is not much cause for boasting at the vaunted success of the Inspector-General in negotiating the last three loans f 516,500 L It was surely no very great stroke of financial success to effect a par loan of half a million at six per cent., with cLarges for brokerage and com mission one and a qaarter per cent., figuring up the whole cost to seven and a quarter per cent., at a time when the regular rate of interest was not three per cent., although it was not to be expected that a colony could enter the English Money Market on an equal footing with other national borrowers, though many of their Governments are rotten to the core." Triere is, unfortunately, too much truth in the concluding little bit of sarcasm. Insolvent conti nental states are preferred to sound but unobtrusive colonial borrowers.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The August sessions for the county of Middlesex commenced this morning at the Sessione-liouse, Cie: ken. well-green, before Mr. Sergeant Adams and a Bench of Magistrateg. The calendar is very light, there being 64 prisoners for trial. John Cumming., who was found guilty of stealing a gold watch from the person of a female, was sentenced to seven years' transportation. The prisoner, upon leav ing the dock, said " I thank you, my Lord." William Hubbeifield was found guilty of stealing a watch, seal, chain, and pocketbook, the property of Air. Richard Humphrey, and sentenced to six months' impri sonment, with hard labour. Charles Phere, a private in the Coldstream Guards, was found guilty of stealing from Henry Matthews, of the Royal Artillery, one sovereign and other moneys, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. HER MAJEST 'S THEATRE. La Tempesta was pet formed for the last time on Sa turday, the approaching departure of Carlotta Grisi rendering its performance again this season impossible; and-never did Carlotta act or dance more exquisitely thin she did on Saturday. She was indetd the very `• dainty Arid" that Shakspere imagined. The Call ban of Lablache was a sublime piece of savagery, " Monstrum horrendum informe ingens;" we Cannot add— " Cui lumen ademptum," for his monster is illumined and intormed by the rarest and brightest of lights, the light of genius. The opera went off magnificently, and at she conclusion the applause w.s enthusiastic. It was followed by the very pretty balls t La Prima Ballerina, in which Mach moiselle Amelia Ferraris appeared as the heroine. It is the first time that this young lady has had an opportunity ot exhibit ing her powers as a pantomimist, and she availed herself of it to the utmost; her pantomime is at once graceful and expressive. We have no doubt but that she will prove as great an histrionic as she already is a choreo graphic artiste. In the course of the evening she intro. duced several new pas, which were perfect marvels of Terpsichorean art. She was called on at the conclusion, and retired loaded with bouquets. STRAND THEATRE. A new, original, and most thoroughly English drama was produced here last evening, with the most tri umphant success. It is entitled 7he Daughter of the Stars, and is from the pen of Mr. Shirley Brookes, who has, after a short probation, achieved for himself a po sition in the very front rank of living English drama• tists, and whose reputation for the artistical construction and working up of a plot, for conception and delinea tion of character, and for dialogue, which is by turns grave and gay, but always vigorous, and, when gay, sparkling with brilliant epigram, will be greatly en hanced by the production of The Daughter of the Stars, which is one of the best built and one of the most intersting dramas that has been produced for years. The following is ati outline of the plot :—The Hon. Anthony Hawkstane (Mr. Farren), a cold but shrewd man of the world, quarrels with his out-spoken, candid, generous nephew, Ernest Dalton, a lieutenant in the navy (Mr. W. Farren, jun.), and, banishing him from the house, adopts, as he thinks, the offspring of a younger and vagabond brother—a wild gipsey girl—Miriam, the " Daughter of the Stars" (Mrs. Stirling), who has been traced and discovered by the family lawyer, Mr. Craw ley (Mr. G. Cooke). The second act finds the keen spirited and high-hearted gipsey cultivated into the polish and manner of a lady without having lost one-whit of the brave woman's heart which from the first beat within her boom. The agent in effecting the transformation has been Katherine Dalton (Mrs. Leigh Murray), the secretly•married wife of Ernest, and who has been in troduced to the family in the character of a governess, whom Miriam loves as a sister, and upon whom even the worldly bashaw, Mr. Hawkstone, has an intention of conferring his hand. But miserably does Katherine Dalton pay the penalty of the double game she is play ing. Mr. Hawkstone persecutes her with his addresses, Miriam tortures her by confessing that she secretly loves her (Katherine's) husband, Ernest; and the denouement is brought about by the sudden appearance upon the scene of tha naval lieutenant, when tl e secret of his mar riage with Katherine is revealed, followed by the advent of Crawley, now a runaway bankrupt, who avows that the gipsey is his own daughter, whom for his own purposes he has foisted upon the family as one f its members. The fate of the unfortunate Miriam is left to the reader's imagination; that it must be a dreadful one there can be no doubt. There is introduced into the drama a rich low comedy character, Bacchus Befswing (Mr. Compton), the butler of Hawkestone, who, having for merly officiated as butler at St. Mildew's College, Ox ford, bath from that feast of learning brought away divers scraps, which he puts to the most amusing uses. His " favourite aversion" is a lawyer, and he always speaks professionally.' This part was acted with quaint and Uliettlt Ili humour by Compton who made every point tell. 't he part of the Daughter of the Stars was exqui sitely performed by Mrs. Stirling. Her appearance as the gipsey was beautifully picturesque, her acting as the lady of edueatisn was the perfection of high comedy, as her last scenes were of the most pathetic and heart-rending tragedy. Mr. Farren's Hawkstone was a perfect artistical delineation, he acted with more vigour than he has exhibited for some time past, and we were happy to observe a marked improve ment in his articulation. The piece was admirably cast and admirably put on the stage. At the conclusion all the artistes were called on, and then there were loud calls for Mr. Shirley Brookes, who at length made his appearance, and was greeted with enthusiastic cheers. The house was crowded to suffocation in every part. SURREY THEATRE. Under the enterpridng and judie:ous it anagement of Messrs. Shepherd and Creswick, this favourite resort of her Majesty's lieges on the southern banks of the ,river Themes is more than ever entitled to the patronage ts,PillAovers of artistic entertainment. With an efficient - -iSperatite company, and a discriminating selection of the most popular among the masterpieces of the great musicians, the house continues to attract together nightly overflassing audiences, and, to judge from the amount of applause lavished upon the principal per formers, audiences gifted with capabilities of very enthu siastic appreciation. Last evening we witnessed the seventh representation during the present season of Auber's Masaniello, produced for the first time on the 29th ult., with new dresses, scenery, and appoint ments. Altogether the manner in which this ex quisite work of genius has been produced by the nanagers, and rendered by the artists,reflects the highest honour upon the establishment, and affords large pro mise as to the future success of the operatic novelties announced to be in preparation. Mdlle. Nau, already risen into a favourite with the Surrey audience in con sequence of her previous impersonation of other cha ructvrs, gained an addition ti her popularity by her ad mirable, though occasionally too florid, vocalization as Elvis's. The Masaniello of Travers, without provoking any invidious comparisons with his predecessors on the English stage, has about it, in one or two respects, ex cellences such as entitle him, and, what is more, such as secure to him no inconsiderable sympathy and approbation. Of the Pietro of Borrani we may speak with truth in the fullest terms eulogium. His barcarole, " Behold, far o'er the troubled tide," was given with superb energy. Even his acting in this part deserves particular mention, for its earnest and artistic animation. In his dress and aspect he is the very beau ideal of a Neapolitan fisherman. Delavanti as Borello, and George Tedder us Alphonse, acquitted themselves creditably. After the opera, which, it must bo observed, is remarkable for one or two admi rabic sc.:nes, painted by Mr. J. W. Calcott, castle a versa' nof Schiller's Kabale and Liebe," entitled The Musician's Daughter ; or , Th e Lovers of Iliedelbo g. With this interesting domestic drama tae performances were brought to a conclusion. IRELAND. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING. MURDER OF AN UNDER AGENT. A person named Pike, an under agent of Mr. Cassidy, of Monasterevan, w.ss brutally murdered on Saturday near Birr, in the King's County. He was to have served several ejectments next week. He exchanged shots with one of the assassins; but the other shut him through the back, and struck him a violent blow On the forehead, He has left a wife and family of four children. The body was found en the high road at ten o'clock on Saturday morning. 'The ill-fated man had respectable connexions in Dublin.

Owing to its great success, the Two rages will Le played as the first piece.
