The DIRECTORS of the ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA beg most respectfully to inform the Nobility, Gentry, Subscribers, and the Public that the SEASON of 1850 will COMMENCE TO-MORROW, March 16. In announcing this the Fourth Season of the Royal Italian Opera, the Directors cannot but express the greatest satisfaction in being able to present a Programme to their Subscribers which will at once demonstrate both thcir intention and ability still further to carry out the extended views of the original projectors of that great undertaking. The exertions, the difficulties, and the immense pecuniary out lays which have token place since the commencement of the Royal Italian Opera, such as indeed are but rarely separable from the first formation of all great undertakings, are. well known ; and when it is considered that these exertions have been made, these difficult es encountered, and these large sums devoted to the gradual building up and completion of the cstab ishment, with a view - rather to ulterior than to immediate profit, it will not appear surprising that the present Directors find themselves in a position to offer to their audiences during the forthcoming Suwon a series of Lyrical Enter tainments totally unrivalled in any theatre in Europe. The Royal Italian Opera now possesses the following immense re pertoire, viz. : —Twenty-eight Operas, each of which is complete in itself, with Music, Scenery, Decorations, and Costumes, and capable of Representation at a few hours' notice. Semiramide • • .. • • • Rossini. La Donna del Lige • . • • .. Rossini. L'ltaliana in Algieri .. • • .. Rossini. Il Barbi:re di teviglia • • • • .. Rossini.

II Franco Arciero (Der Freischutz) Weber. (For the First Time on the Italian Stage in England), and Mose in Egitto, with the new arrange ments and additions, by the • Composer • • ... Rossini. (For the First Time, in this Form. in England.) Meyerbeer's Grand Opera "LE PROPHETE," having, from unavoidable circumstances, been produced nearly at the end of last season, may also be regarded as a new opera. In fact, the few re presentations then given will little mole than serve as rehearsals ne cessary to so elaborate a work. With such a ftpertolre already existing—with works of such magnitude in rentemplation—and with such an establishment at their command, it only remained for the Directors to select a com pany or vocalists of the highest order, and they feel assured that When the following enumeration is perused, it will be named that the Royal Italian Opera can alone boast of so distinguished an as semblage of artistes.

Yesterday Mr. Wakley, the coroner for the western division of Middlesex, and a jury of householders, as sembled at the powder-mills fir the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances connected with the d, laths of Joseph Perry, James B )01in:raster, and George Goddard, ' three of the utif nnunste persons who lost their lives by the explosion on the afternoon of Monday last. The coroeee in charging the jury, said the fcagmenta of the bodies which had teen shown to them were supposed to be those belonging to the other persons who had lost their lives; but as there was very lit le doubt that ti.e canto of death was the same in each case, it would nt.t be necessary to include those who could not be identified in the inquisition. Several witnesses were then ex amined, nem( ly, Mr. Ashby, the manager of the works; Mr. Lambourn, a clerk; Mr. Curtis, one of the firm; and some of the workmen—ill of whom differed in opinion as to the cause of the accident. Some ware of opinion that it was occasioned by Glaz . er going into his work without changing his clothes, whilst others were of that it was caused by some foreign sub,:tance getting into the dust-house -- no one, however, being able te feral a positive opinion. Mr. Wakley suggested that it would be better to return an open verdict, and, after a short consultation, the jury returned the following sordiet :—That the (Lensed received mortal injuries on various parts cf their holies, from the explosion of a certain quantity of gunpowder, and then and there diet', bet that there was no evidence before the jury to show by what means the said gunpowder explode!.

Mr. Rogerson, after drinking a glass of brandy, joined the officers in the yard, where he we; nivel instantaneously, aid never afterwards recovered sensibility. Dr. Chadwick as cribed the death to apoplexy and disease of the heat is the excitement under which - Mr. Rogerson was labour ing having caused an extravasation of the brain. A rer• diet was returned accordingly. RENTS IN MID-LOTRIAN.—Two farms in mid.

COURT OF CHANCERY (IRELAND) —A return has been issued of the yearly receipts and payments by the Court of Chancery in Ireland, on account of the Suitors' Fee Fund, from the period of its establishment in 1836. The t real surplus upon the annual receipts amounted in July, 1849, to 37,6811. Out of this two separate sums of 20.0001. and 4801 have bcen invested in the Three-and- Qaarter per Cent. Stock. The charges payable out of the fund are most of them uncertain, and therefore could net bo stated. Theyearly payments range from 3,8981, the amount paid in 1837, to 13,6 aid in 1841. The payments returned far the last year p in the account are 5.233/. Mn. D E SSANGES S FORTHCOMING OreRA OF "KING RENE'S DAUGHTER."—An announcement appeared in the papers some time since that a now opera, founded on the drama of King Rene's Daughter, was about to be produced at the Princess's. The composer of this opera is Mr. C. F. D?ssanges, and the libretto is written, v/ believe, by W. Bellamy, Esq., who is already well-known to the public as the author or several popular songs.

'i'he Madagascar Indiamea, Ceptain Hight, sailed reom Spithead early this morning. 'The Sharpshooter iron-screw stearnavossel, Lieu tenant Commander Bailey, is having new tubes fitted is her boilers. The Victoria and Albert, Royal yacht, Ceptein Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.b.H., has had her old boiliTs and funnels removbd to-cley, to sheltie' room for improved new ones. She is to be ready Ter the service of the Court by the 31 of April. The Lily, 14, Commander Bedford, is fitting, off ; the dockyard with dispatch. The Penelope, 23, steam-frigate is receiving her final refit in the Sidon Dock. The Superb, •80, Csptaiu Purcell, at geeenstown, has waited so long to get manned (about sixteen months) that it is now reported she wils have another refit before leaving Eogl4nd, if she ever gets men enough to enable her to weigh anchor again. APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICII, MARCH 14.—Lieutenants Werra S. Bradley (1824) and John R. Thompson (1841), to be chief effacers of the Coast Guard. Scond Master James Milton (1848), to the Ve loge, 22, surveying vessel on the Mediterranean station. Mr. Spencer Palf.eck to be a clerk in the Factory D2partment in Woolwich Dackyar i, vice Mr. G acv. land, who has received an appointment in the Ord nanc., Department at Jamaica. Mr. Charles Lamour Curry to be a clerk in the Factory D , partm.ent here, vice Cobham, resignesl. Captain Toomas P. Thomason (1847), having gone through a course of study of steam at the Factory at Woolwich Dockyard, was examined on 'ruesday last by Mr. Triekett, Assistant to the Chief Engineer, and passed in a very satisfactory manner. There are now tbree vacancies for officers to study steam at the Fac tory at this dockyard. The Tiger steam-sloop was towed from the Ea:t India Docks to John Penn and Son's establishment, at Greenwich, to have the fitting of her engines com pleted, which ; will not now occupy much time, as they are in a very advanced state. The Argus steam-sloop is to be towed from Wool wich on Monday next, to the East India Docks, to have her engines put on board by John Penn and Son. The Vivid, Dover mail stearn•packet, has been ready for sea again some days, but cannot be taken out of the inner basin until the caisson is replaced, it having been taken out to be. repaired and re-caulked. Pi will be again ready for use about Tuesday next, and the Vivid is expected to leave for Dover on that day to resume her duties as a mail-packet. Toe Black Eagle steam-vessel had her steam up to day, and left for Gravesend at 1 30 r. M., to remain there in readiness to receive the Lords of the Admi ralty, who intend proceeding by an early train of the North Kent line of railway to Gravesend tomorrow, and embark in the Black Eagle, on an official visit to Sheerness Dockyard. The preparations for the launch of the Nankin, 50. gun frigate, are now nearly completed, and are of a most efficient , description, to insure as much as possible the comfort of the numerous applicants who hive solicited tickets to witness the interesting spec tacle. The Nankin has been visited to-day by great numbers of naval officers and scientific gentlemen con nected with the mercantile navy, and the vessel is universally admitted to be a very fine model, and constructed in a most substantial manner. It has been judiciously decided that the principal gate of the dockyard shall be open to the public three hours before the launch takes place, to insure that the spectators who have tickets may be able to take their seats when convenient, and to prevent the rush and confusion which have of:en prevailed when the period of entrance was restricted to a short time previous to the launch of a vessel. Indeed, it may be stated that respectable visitors will have no difficulty in getting into the dockyard and taking their seats, or in going over the establishment, after nine o'clock, A.M. The Msgicienne steam-sloop returned to Woolwich this afternoon, having been detained down the river a day later on her trial than was expected, in conse quence of the dense fog having rendered it requisite to anchor yesterday evening and remain in Sea Reach during the night. The result of her experimental trial in deep water was very satisfactory, giving on an average of four runs between the Nore and Mouse lights a speed of very nearly eleven knots per hour, having on board a total weight of 2,093 tons. CmEr JUSTICES' SALARIES..--A Bill has beempre- T sqntrd by Lord John Russell, and is now printed, the purport of which is to fix the salaries of the Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench and the Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, the first at 8,0001. a year, which was the salary accepted by Lord Denman on his succeeding Lord Tenterden, who received 10,000/., and the latter at. 7,0001. FEES (COURT OF COMMON PLEAS). --By a Bill presented by Mr. Bouverie, and now printed, it is pre paged that a return should be made to the Commissioners of the Tree-airy of the fees taken by the officers perform. leg the duty if registrars of judgments and of certificates and affidavits in the Court of Common Pleas, with a view to reducing, when a vacancy shall occur, the emoluments received for the discharge of there duties to a fixed sum, the surplus being paid into the Excheque r as pert of the consolidated fund. Any parson appointed, in filter° to these offices would be bound to give immediate notice to the Treasury, and in d fault of so doing world foifeit all fees received until such notice were given. No aiditional rerson would be permitted to be employed to assist in the discharge of these duties, and so increase the dis bursements charged, without the consent of the Commis sioners of the Treasury. SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 14.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Madrid, Captain Olive, from the Italian ports, arrived this morning at nine o'cicck. She left Gibraltar on the 6th and Genoa on the Ist inst. The passengers by the Madrid were, 18 first•class, 9 second, and 60 deck.

The minutes of the former meetings having been real and confirmed, the secretary read the report fur the year 1849. It corgretulated the governors upon the highly satisfactory state of the institution. 170 pu pils of both sexes were now in the asylum, and were bearded, lodged, and clothed gratuitously. They re mined in the institution six years and a half, by which time they were sufficiently instructed in various trades to prevent their being dependent on their friends—the consciousness of such dependence being stated to distress the band more than the actual privston of sight. The erection of a new school and class-room had conduced to render the education of the inmates greatly more efficient thee thrmerly. Exclusive of the usual in.. etraction in reading, writing, &c., the pupils now received oral lessons in history, etymology, and geography, the latter being taught by tensed maps. The health of the inmates during the year had been remarkably good, only one death having occurred. While the dic ier» was raging with its greatest virulence on all aides of the asylum, the health of those within its walls had by the Idessing of God been better than usual, only ono of the pupils was attacked, boy. wh speedily reco vered. 19 pupils had :e% the a F chool during the last 12 ino rnhs—v , z., 11 boys, 4 of whom were expellsd for misconduct; and girls, 1 of whom was also dis missed. 393 person-, exclusive of those who had been placed in the permanent establishment, or disd in the school, had returned to their friends, mostly able to maintahe themselves.

MOORISH WATENIYORKS..—The Moors left traces of the care they took to secure a supply of water to their towns, and they introduced into Spain the system ef replacing bridge aqueducts by souterazzi, adopted by the Greeks of the l ewer empire. At the Puerto Real de Cadix; at Talavera la Repeat at Castellon de la Playa, small works of this kind are still in use. We shall have occasion to describe the principle upon which they operate more fully when we consider the water supply of Constantinople ; we will, therefore, . me rely e numerate the works of this kind to be f,,und in S p entering without entering into details. The other hydraulic works executed by that singular people are not worth dwelling upon for any length. They c onsist mostly of cisterns, baths, and fountains. Occasionally, as near Grenada., they erected aqueduct bridges, but they were small in comparison with the Roman edifices, so plentifully scat tered throughout Spain- That alluded to, near Grenada, is one of the lofties t, but its extreme 1 eight is only abouteelse spans f the arches are little me s to 9 feet.
