Chaplin). A gentleman (Mr. Boyce) works his cure by making him believe that he is the 6on of an earl, and forcing him to go through a course of etiquette. A dinner where he 1.11:-,y not ask twice fur soup, eat fish with a knife, and have an "ingon" with his cucumber, proves too much for him, and abandoning his aristocratic no tions with disgust, he is too glad to escape from genteel society, and effecting a reconciliation with his friends, to put on the verdant costume of the May-day "Jack.' The practical "fun" of Mr. Wright at the dinner, where he commits all sorts of enormities, is highly amusing, and the un mixed admiration with which he is regarded by his sweetheart is portrayed with a great deal of force by Miss E. Chaplin. The austere, unambitious ramoneur, is a stately personage in the hands of Mr. Paul-Bed ford, and the small character of a sweep who enacts the Mayday Clown, and incurs infinite bruises by practising his tumbling, is rendered with much humour by Mr. Sanders. THE WINDOW TAX Tim GREATEST ABSORBENT OF LlGHT.—Since Government is so paiiicular in charging for light, we wonder it has never thought of putting a tax upon spectacles, eye-glasses, and opera•glassea, which are all media for conveying light to the eye, just as much as a pane of glass. The rime with the windows in a carriage, or an omnibus, or a bathing machine. Why should they not pay , the window-tax to the same monstrous extent as the win dows in a house? These are shameful inequalities, which betray a partiality which should exist in no tax, particu larly in one which should be framed with the strictest eye to accuracy, as the larger the frame, the larger the payment for it. It is strange that Government should institute itself the Great Purveyor of Light, in opposition to the Sun; with this difference, however, that Government charges for every pane of light it lays on, and cuts it off pretty quickly if it I. not paid up exactly to the quarter, and the sun gives its light for nothing. Of all monopolies, the monopoly of light is the most cruel, and is a measure only worthy of the dark ages. To carry out the cruelty consistently, every man who has two eyes should be taxed for light doubly, men with only one eye should be let off with one payment, and none should be exempt from the tax but blind persons.—?each. DEATH OF MR. EDWARD W. LLOYD.—It is_ OUT melancholy duty to announce the premature death of /Ward Watson Lloyd, Esq., Clerk of the Crown and Prothonotary of the Chester and North Wales Circuit, in which office he succeeded his late father eight years ago. The death of Mr. Lloyd, which occurred on Friday last, after a very short M- I ness, is deeply regretted, not only by the members of the legal profession, by whom he was deservedly esteemed for his urbanity and courtesy in the discharge of his public duties, but by the general community, whose interests and enjoyments ha was always most ready to promote. His personal friends have to deplore the death of a kind-hearted, generous, and worthy man ; while to his bereaved widow and twelve children his loss is irreparable.—Chester Courant. MR. GLADSTONE'S VISIT TO ITALY.—SOIDe Of Our contemporaries have attributed a political mission to the Hon. Ilember for Oxford, but we believe he merely went in the character of friend to a Noble Lord now in the Levant, whose conjugal sorrows will come before the House of Peer. next Tuesday. The melancholy office of collecting evidence in this deplorable business devolved on him. It appears that the infant born last August received in baptism the name of Horatio Walpole Lawrence. The latter name being a travelling designation of the Countess, who, as stated last week, has pleaded guilty in the Ecclesiastical Court.—Adeertiser. On Wednesday James Cobb, flesher, found a clasp knife in the stomach of an ox which he had newly killed. It had been in the stomach apparently for a considerable time, as the back of the blade was worn down to a sharp point. The iron was fast wearing away, while the handle was not injured in the least —Montrose Review. THE LOBD•LIEUTENANCT IN IRELAND.—Yester day the Bill to abolish the Lord• Lieutenancy in Ireland was printed. When passed, its operation is to be fixed by • royal proclamation.

VEsTity ELECTIONS.--Parish of St. Pancras—Last evening this contest, after a three days' poll, was brought to a close. For Messrs. Brettingham and Healy, or the pink list, there were 1,886 votes. For Mr. Douglas, or the blue list, 1,042 votes; giving a majority of 844 iu favour of the pink list, who are now vestrymen for the ensuing year. Parish of St. James, Westminster—The poll for the elec tion of vestrymen for this parish finally closed last evening, when there appeared 801 votes for the Parochial Reform Association list, and :94 for the Ratepa, era' Association; leaving a majority of 207 for the former. The following gentlemen are, therefore, elected vestrymen for the next twelve months ; - Lord de Mauley, Hon. V. Smith, M.P., Messrs. Atkins, Bidgood, Compart, Cumming, Grant, Green, Nelson, Poulson, Rowland, Walker, and Hall. SIR JOHN ROSS'S EXPEDITION.—STRANIAKIL, MAY 21.—Early this morning Sir J. Ross, with Commander Phillips, arrived in Loch Ryan in his vessel the Felix, called after the late Sir Felix Booth, from Ayr, to take leave of hie friends, and dispetch other business, before sailing for the Arctic regions His vessel is to be registered out of this port (his native place), and the papers are expected from London by this right's post. As the Felix will only register 91 tons, he requires a special licence..from the Board of Cus toms, under the late regulations, as to the distance which vessels under 170 tons are allowed to go from the land. The same regulations limit the number of the crew to seven, in• eluding the master, whereas Sir J. Ross's vessel carries a crew of 13 men, exclusive of officers; he will also require special licence for this purpose. These have been applied for, and are expected to arrive from London this evening. He is to have any quantity of stores he requires duty free. The Felix is a very clumsy-looking vessel; she sits a good v cal by the head, and his very low: she will probably not leave Loch Ryan until the end of the week. it even then. Sir John is an extraordinary man to undertake such an expe dition • he is in his 76th year , is quite deaf , and near l y blind, ' but chacun a son gout. We wish him every success, and a safe return. Should time permit, the inhabitants of stranraer intend to give hint at public dinner.— Shipping Gazette. THE CORK, BLACKRoCK ANSI PASSAGE RAILWAY.

YOUTH.--120. REGENT- S TREET. PARENTS and GUARDIANS are resrectfully invited to inspect the cost of the several garments here submitted, and con sidered necessary for the Universities, Public and Private Schools, &c. In this branch clever nod efficiest persons are employed by Messrs. NiCOLL, as in all other departments, the result being the production of a more graceful and elegant appearance in Youths' Clothing than has hitherto been approached ; while, at the same time, their durability and general excellence will be as strongly characterised as in NICOLL'S PALETOT. CAUTION.—Many have of late used the word " Paletot," but 11. J. and D. NICOLL are the sole Proprietors of both design and material. THE CITY.--22, CORNHILL, (opposite the Royal Exchange,) is the address of Messrs. NICOLL'S CITY ESTABLISHMENT, where the PALETOT with materials and skill as in Regent-street are submitted ibr inspection and use, and at the REAR in CHANGE-ALLEY is the SHIPPING BRANCH. The Counting-house and Wholsesale Department for the sale of Woollen C.oths, &c., and for the supply of Messrs. NICOLL'S AGENTS throughout the UNITED KINGDOM and the COLONIES is in WARWICK-STREET, No. 41, where applications should be made for the CONDITIONS with the PRIZE of 5001., to be GIVEN by Messrs. NICOLL for the BEST SPECIMEN of CLOTH shown at the GREAT EXHIBITION of the INDUSTRY of ALL NATIONS. Warwick-street is immediately at the rear of the Paletot Ware rooms, 114, 116, 118, and 120, Regent-street, London. THE RACES.—KHOREE is a NEW IMPOR TATION by the Messrs. NICOLL, through their Agent in INDIA. It is a Cloth exceedingly well adapted, when formed into a PALETOT, for the races, the sea-side, or any place of public amusement during the appreutching warm weather. It has the pecu liarity of resisting, or counteracting, in a most singular manner, the Intense heat of the sun's rays, and is so light (weighing bnt six ounces) that it can be conveniently WORN OVER ANOTHER COAT, which it thus effectually preserves from dust; and as it oc cupies, when folded, no more space than a pocket-handerchief, it may be concealed in the same manner when not wanted. It, more over, conveys a most gentlemanly appearance, is very durable, and when soiled, becomes new again by the simple process of washing. The price is most moderate, but the invention and application of this article in the manufacture of Paletots or Overcoats is PATENTED by H. J. and D.

If you are In want of that beautiful adornment of the human figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an lls. bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Idighgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in.his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant, Herba', Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This pamphlet is forwarded through the pest, on receiving two postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Bd., or 125., which in cludes the postage with the case. The l Is. size contains four of the 4s. A few of its many virtues. as thousands can prove, are published in the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle. Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? tell you the cause —the univereal use of Grimstone's Eye snuff! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cater •ct, Nervous Ileadach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced Its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey gykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of pr ot ectir n, signed by 'terries, 1. sq., to Mr. William Grimstone, bearing di to 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

Cunningham'sCngKn CALEDnvIiNA g S ua YL ia ij ns and direc- M A special general — co; rt of the rd tors of this institution was held yesterday at the rooms of the Scottish Hospital, Crane-court, Fleet-street, for the purpose of receiving the report of the committee appointed at a previous meeting to consider the affairs of the Asylum. His Grace the Duke of Bu 1 cc euch took the chair. The report, which was read by The Chisholm, stated that the number of boys at present on the es tablishment was 61, of girls 50—total, 111 children. The income of the institution during the year 1849 amounted to 1,825/. 12s. Bd., while the expenditure during the same time amounted to 3,4291. 3s. Bd., leaving an excess of expenditure over income of 1,6031. 11 s. ; to meet which a sale of 1,7501. of capital stock, producing 1,614/. ls. 3d., was found necessary to be effected. During the last five years there had been an annual excess of expenditure over income averaging 1,534/. 2s. 711. each year, which had been met by annual sales of stock—thus creating a re duction of capital in five years of 8,5001., and reducing the income derived from that source by 255/. per annum. The committee first recom mended that no further sale of stock should take place except what w as necessary to meet existing liabilities. The expenses under the head "Estab lishment," consisting of the salaries of superintendent and secretary, manse, Sce., amounted to 375/. ; the salaries of officers and domestic servants to 4881, which, with the expense of maintenance, &c., amounted to 7971- The committee recommended that the office of resident superintendent and secre tary should be immediately abolished, and that a non. resident secretary be appointed, at a salary of about 105/. per annum. Other considerable reductions were recommended in the salaries of the officers of the institution, by which the committ ee expecte d to reduce the expenditure to 533/., instead of 7971. per annum, as at present. The committee were of opinion that the maintenanc e s clothing, and incidental expenses for the chili-him ,ii:m. td be covered by 141. or 151. a head, which would eriab!e the institteioo to support about 80 children from the funds that were directly available for the purpose. For the term en suing this would not sppis, as the committee , did not recommend that the children authorised to be elected in June next should be interfered with. It was pro posed that the offices of band master and pipe master should cease after the midsummer term of 1851, until the asylum could afford to have them renewed. Other reductions were recommended, and particularly a more strict adherence to principles of economy in all that regarded the contracts and general management of the asylum. The adoption of the report was moved by the Duke of MONTROSE, who complimented the committee on its efficiency, but regretted that they bad b( en obliged to show the affairs of the asylum to be in so miserable a condition. Lord KINNAIRD seconded the resolution, and ex pressed himself to a similar effect. The motion was supported by Sir George Clerk, Sir John Maxwell, the Bight Hon. Holt Mackenzie, Dr. Cumming, an d other gentlemen. Dr. STEWART proposed, as an amendment, that the report be received, printed, and circulated among the guardians before being adopted, which was seconded by Mr. CRAIGMYLE, but found few supporters, on the ground that the necessary expense and delay would counterbalance the advantace attending its circulation. A subsequent motion tf Mr. SUTHERLAND, that the report be left with the secretary at the asylum, open to inspection, was carried. Dr. CUMMING then proposed a vote of thanks to the com;nittee for the care with which they had drawn up the reprt. Dr. STEWART, although he opposed the immediAe adoption of the report, hop(d he would not be denied the nrivileze of secon ding it. The motion was untinimiusly carried, and the court then broke'up. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The debate on the electoral law was resumed on Wednesday, and in the course of it M. DE ItIONTA LEMBERT made a speech containing a direct declara tion of civil war, and also revealing the word of the enigma of the Roman Expedition, showing that it was only the first act of the plot against liberty all over the world, into which, under Cossack auspices, the reactionaries of all countries have entered. M. DE MOITALBMBERT declared distinctly that "it was ne cessary to organize a Roman Expedition against the Interior"—an expedition, however, in which it is clear that M. DE MONTALEMEERT will not personally take part, seeing that on the first outbreak of the revolution of February he manfully fled to Brussels, " when no man pur sued him," and returned not to Paris until all danger was over. In the course of his speech, he also made a jesuitical attack upon General CAVAIGNAC, which elicited from that high-minded Republican a speech worthy of the senate of old Rome in the most vir;. tuous days of the Republic. We subjoin a sketch of the debate from the moment that M. DE MONTALEM BERT, in the name of the reactionaries, declared civil war against a large portion of his fellow-citizens. He said— , "I say that it is necessary to undertake against Socialism,which is devouring us, a Roman expedition at home.—(Loud applause on the Right, and violent ex clamations on the Left). In the same manner that an expedition was undertaken to Rome against a republic with which it was wished to unite our responsibility, should an expedition be entered on at home against Socialism, in order to prove that it has nothing in com mon with the Republic.—(Hear, hear.) The position is so much the same, that a cry is now raised about a vio lation of the constitution, as it was at the period of the Roman expedition. The same accusations are brought forward which it Was then wished to follow up . by a commencement of execution; the same had been wished at the present time, but those who advocated it have shrunk from it. With regard to the expedition to Rome, there were three paths to be pursued—nentrality, complicity, or hostility. Neutrality would have been the abdication of the influence !_of France; complicity would have been disgraceful, for we should have assumed the joint responsibility of revolution which was inaugu rated by assassination. " On the Left—You know very well that that is false. " On the Right—Yea, yes! ass issination. " M. de Montalembert—War was made by France against the Roman Republic. God blessed the under taking, and on several occasions 450 votes in this As sembly have sanctioned it. You are in precisely the same situation against Socialisni at home. Neutrality is death. If you cross your arms you may as well make your will, but that will be of little use, for your heirs will tear it. Complicity is disgraceful, for Socialism dishonours the Republic. There only then remains for us war—war carried on energetically, and by every means. " M. Lagrange here again rose, and endeavoured to speak, but was pacified by M. de Lamartine. " M. de Montalembert—ln acting thus, we shall con tinue our campaign of the days of Julie, 1848, that campaign which was so well and so energetically con ducted by General Cavaignac. We have now the same enemies under the same flag. I regret to have beard General Cavaignac—l am anxious not to say anything unpleasant to the Hon. General, but he must allow me to ask him—and history will one day put the same question to him—where are now those men whom be toughs against, whom he chastised, whom he pulverised, whom he transported? Wtere are they? They are at his side!" In conclusion he said— " We I ave in our favour right and strength, numbers aad courage; but have we time? No; time is against us. We have already lived a year; in six months we shall have turned the hill and commenced our downward passage. But for an Assembly which has not, perhaps, done all that was expected from it, the period of its wane is a time of death-throes. Our dissolution will, in fact, he forestalled, and before we shall have finished our legal term we shall, like the Constituent Assembly, find oureelves squeezed flat between the party which de sir,qt the ruin of society and that other whioh will re proach us with not having been energetic enough in the fulfilment of our mandate. I repeat to you, therefore, that we have no time to lose. A final word relative to the men who have received the appellation of the seven teen! We have been told in a democratic journal—and without any contradiction or retractation being made to the declaration—that our heads—of us, the seventeen— are devoted to the infernal gods of the revolutionl— " On the Left—What does that prove? " M. de Montalembert—The history of the high deeds of your ancestors proves clearly enough what it means! Can we forget the scaffold of the revolution ? Are we not acquainted with the democratic dagger which assas sinated Rossi? Well, then, the fate so threatened I ac cept ! Yes, I prefer it a thousand times to the contempt which, amongst posterity, will hang on the memory of those men whom France charged to place her in safety, but who failed in that sacred duty—those men who, through pusillanimity, will have left France abandoned to the shame, the servitude, the barbarism which social ism is preparing for us !—(Tremendous cheering, which lasted for some time.) "G: eat agitation followed this speech. General Ca vaignac at once hurried to the tribune, but he was obliged to remain standing there for ten minutes, at least. before the sitting could proceed. " General Cavaignac—The Hon. M. de Montalembert commenced his speech by passing a eulogium on me; after having heard his speech, I am entitled to say that I was right iu receiving that praise only with mistrust; I expected it to be followed by a censure. Once for all, what is the meaning of those reminiscences incessantly renewed in the tribune? Why am I constantly reminded of the duties which I one day had to fulfil? Is it wished to intimate that it was necessary to remind me that 1 had greet duties to perform? That would be an insult. —(Marks of denial.) It appears to me that that is very evident.—(Cries of ' No, no.') I repeat that I should con sider as an insult the expression of an idea which would tend to bring me here to say that I have had great duties to fulfil.—(Murmurs.) Is it sought to stop by fear in the accomplishment of those duties which I have now to perform?—(Allons donc.) I do not seek for oppor tunities of entt ring into discussions so personal and so animated, but I know not how to shrink from them. Is it that you pretend to stop me in the accomplishment of my duty by fear?—(Murmurs.) Those who think so deceive themselves. There is nothing in what I say, or what I think, which tends to make me obtain in the So cialist party, to which I do not belong, a false popu larity. It is not my fault if you have now placed right on the side of y our adtenseriee. It has lecea said that I had changed my part and my opinion, but that is not the case; Ido euw whet I did in June, 1848. I then defended univetesal suffrage as I do at the present time; such has always been my course of acting. "M. Em. Arago declared that he way opposed to the Bill, and then, proceeding to criticise the speech of i.i. de Montalembert, he' efirmed that that gentleman desired to bring on civil war.—(Loud exclamations, marks of denie%) " On tae iti , :ztlt—lt is you, it is you.

M. de Montalemb ert, too, appears to me to have a strange mode of re speeting the constitution, %hen he deceeres that he 'submits to it, but that Le considers it cantemptible;. The country cares but little about the pretended f aecte rd amongst citizens who are no lengar in France. --(1, .augiater.)

Balsm, MAY 23.—The supply of English wheat was good, but the inquiry for that and foreign was slow, at a de cline of is per quarter. English wheat sold at 38s to 412 s per imperial quarter.

BIR1lINI:IMA74, MAT 23.—At Gloucester and Worcester markets, on the 18th, there was a fair business doing in Wheat at is per quarter less than the prices realised that day se'nnight. Barley held for some advance, but buyers would not comply. Oats fully asdear. Beans and Peas both is per qr higher. This week the weather has become much warmer, which, added to the decline in DI ark-lane, Liverpool, &c., has caused the transactions to be on the most limited scale, but we have not heard of any reduction being submitted to on any article of the trade. At this day's market there was a fair supply of Wheat from the farmers, which sold slowly at a reduction of Is to 2s per qr. Barley unaltered in value, with very little doing. More sale for Oats at former prices. No advance could be o►tained on Beans and Peas.

DERBY SMITHFIELD MARKET, MAY 21.—There were but few fat beasts offered for sale this morning, and the demand was equally small. The supply of sheep and lambs was about the average, without any alteration in the price. The number of fat calves was not large, nor could it be expected when the demand was not likely to be great. Fat pigs were plentiful, the season of the year considered. Beef, 4id to sd; mutton, 5d to 6d ; veal, 3id to 4id per lb. ; lambs, lis to 21s ; pork, 7s per score. Rough fat, 3s 6d per stone of 141bs.

Accounts from Berlin of the 22d state, that on that morning an attempt bad been made to assassinate the King of PRUSSIA at Potsdam. A sergeant of artillery fired a pistol at his Ma.. JEST; and inflicted a flesh wound in the arm. The man was immediately seized. The KING at once re turned to Charlottenburg, and received the congratu lations of his family, the Ministers, and the diplo matic corps, on his escape. The name of the attempted assassin is SEFELOGE. The Plenipotentiaries of the Austrian League met at Frankfort on the 17th, and declared themselves a a plenary Assembly of the Confederation. Accounts haie been received from Vienna to the 18th. The Wiener Zeitung states, that a mysterious tumult took place a few days ago in the garrison of the newly-recruited Honveds, which parties inte rested are endeavouring to hush up. A young Hun garian nobleman (Honved), who had been refused permission by his captain to go to a coffee-house, unable to resist the solicitations of some corporal, who promised to be responsible for this petty insub ordination, quitted the barracks. The captain, upon hearing this, gave orders that the young nobleman should be flogged upon his return. All the corporals of the battalions refused to raise their hands to carry out the sentence, and a corporal of the Haynau Regiment of Infantry was summoned from another barrack, and commenced putting the sentence into execution ; but be had inflicted only a few blows when the young nobleman sank down in a fit of apoplexy. In one moment all the Honveds rushed upon the captain and put him to death. On the same evening the entire troop was disbanded. RUSSIA. ST. PETERQBURGII.—The Stadbolder of Tail; has given a premium of 100 silver roubles for a machine tor cleansing cotton of the most simple construc tion, and which, from its cheapness, may be within the reach of the poorest classos. This machine was presented at the grand exhibitiOn at St. Peters burgh. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Don Giovanni, with its unusually strong cast, in cluding Sontag, Parodi, Giuliani, Coletti, Calsolari, and Lablache, drew an overflowing house here last evening, and never has the chef d'euvre of Mozart been more conscientiously rendered. After the opera Madame Frezzolini appeared in the last scene of Lucrezia Borgia, and more then confirmed the fa vourable impression which she had created on Tues day. She is the most impassioned of lyrical tragedians, and there is a delicious freshness in the quality of her clear and flexible voice, which is perfectly fascinating. It was one of the long Thursdays, and the choerographic part of the entertainment was of the very highest order, utterly unapproached and unapproachable. In the Ball scene in Den Giovanni, Calotti Grisi and Maria Taglioni danced the Minuet and the Zarabanda. After the opera we had Les Graces, with Carkftta Grisi, Marie Taglioni, and Amalie Ferraris, and at the conclusion selections from La Esmeralda, including the Truandai:e. The theatre was crowded to over flowing. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Roberto id Diavolo, which, with the full c ollection of the Huguenots, and the Proph . e le, we still consider to be the chef d'oeuvre of Meyerbeer, was produced here for the first time this season, last evening, with completaiess that has never been g surpassed and_ has seldom been equalled. We have a was first per fectrec,,ilection of this opera when it •as first produced at the Grand ()Per.' in Paris, then in the zenith of its power and of its fame, and certainly the manner in which the opera was performed and put on the stage last evening far surpassed the man ner in which it was put on the serge in Poris °lithe occa sion of its original production. The following is the cast, and certainly as a whole the opera has never been, not even at this theatre, cast nearly so strongly. Alice, Moo,. Grisi (her first 'appearance in that cha racter) ; Isabella, Male. Castellon ; Dania d'Onoro, Mdlle. Cotti; Elena, Mdlle. Louise Taglioni • Al berto, Signor Rommi ; Eraldo, 111. Massol; Il ;lore, Signor Tagliafico ; Majordomo, Signor Sakti; Cava liers, Signor Mei and Signor Yolonini; Roberto, Signor Tamberlik (his first ~appearance in that character) ; Bertram°, Herr Formes ; and min Signor IMario (his first appearance in that character). The character of Alice is one quite eat of the, usual line of Madame Grisi's performances ; it is almost impossible to imagine the imperious Semiramide, the impassioned Norma, the energr.ic Luerezia, eyhi hiting the innocent simplicity - of the angelic pcasant girl, yet Maclaine Grisi achieved it grr at sneeess iu the part, and sang the music divinely. Her man ner of rendering tho - " Va dit elle" and the " Quand:je quittai la Normnandie" was excellent, but the grand scene I.vas the finale, in which she rescues Robert from Bertram. xllib of t.i whichor i of she hat here she had an opportunityil for the energy excels,ai)and of o the this delinea tionfopportu- nity she trio of the s i o m ru s s e i n o Ild t did nut fail to avail herself. The concluding opera ha never been so sublimely—that is the tru e word—has never been so Sublimely rendered as it was last rit • ....;ht by Madame Grisi, Signor Tamberlik, an d Herr Foi-ine. It was the very perfection of im passroned lyrical trag,Aly. Signor Tainbrlik is by far the best Robert %hoc' it ha - s ever been our good'fort eun to see, as superior to his predeQelsor Satyr as it is well possible to imagine; the tremulous quJity of his voice told most dfec %S7 6(1 - u - iore ' p..the,ie scenes, and his manly and c'd made him look the Normen hero to the life. Never have we heard the far.fmecl " L'or est une chimere," rendered so ener getically, or sung with such immense and the last scene of the opera was, as we before vaid, perfect triumph. The great Lature of the oerfor . mance, however, is the Bertram of Formes. We hod thought it . impossible to equal Staudigl erha in this hi s equal, pps in part, but Formes is certainly some things his superior. He throws more feeling into the part than did Staudigl, he not only tempers, but subdues the maligni t y of the fired with the affection of the father ; and„,evcn when he triuno. the tippqeut :yieldlog 4f -„ober% to his influence, his expressloa of triumph is rather an out burst of boisterous mufrinakint, evidently feigned to hide the deep despair the e xpression of -which 1e ever on his features, than a sudden outbreak o f yet joyous rnalignitF. triuknphant '--," Isa bella of Madame Castellon is beattaul ceedingly, and is a InAriced improvement u o ex p n h er former impersonations a this cil v , r . yr.
