CORN EXCHANGE.-(MONDAY.) The supplies of Wheat on sale in the leading country markets hold on Saturday were seasonably good, and of full average quality. The demand for all kinds ruled inactive, at about stationary prices. Spring Corn moved off freely, at full rates of currency. No change took place in Flour. In the Baltic and Brack `'ea ports several somewhat large purchases of Wheat have been made on English account. The Dutch, French, and Belgian markets have ruled very fair for most articles, at fully previous rates. The auppli' se f Barley, Oats, Beans, arid Peas appear to be seduced to a narrow cern pass. Up to our market last week the arrivals of Eng 16h Grain and Flour were small. From abroad we re ceived 20,155 quarters of Wheat, 11.159 ditto of Barley, 12,363 ditto of Oats, 342 ditto of Beans, 471 ditto f Peas, 29 ditto of Tares, 46 ditto of Linseed, 165 ditto of Rapeseed, 1,295 ditto of sundry seeds, 4,556 sacks and 2,294 barrels of Flour. Nearly the whole of the supply of English Wheat re ceived fresh up to this morning's market by land car riage, and which exceeded 700 quarters, was of the present year's growth, and in much better condition than had been expected, some of the parcels weighing 63 to 64 lbs. per bushel—white qualities sold at from 44s to 490, and red ditto 42s to 46s per quarter. Generally speaking, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was in a very sluggish state, at prices barely equal to those obtaiced on Monday last, and at which a clearance was with difficulty effected. The show of old Wheat was trifling; yet the amount of business doing in it was small, owing chiefly to the large quantities of French Flour pressing for sale, and the prospect of large importations during the present week. Several offers reached us to ship Wheats from the east coast, but very few transactions took place. Notwithstanding that the import of foreign Wheat last week was somewhat extensive, fine samples were held firmly, at full rates of currency. In the middlieg and interior kinds comparatively little business was doing, at barely stationary prices. Not a sample of English Barley was brought forward, but the show of foreign was tolerably good. All kinds, especially grinding samples, moved off freely, and the quotations were well-supported in every instance. With Malt we were scantily supplied. There was more inquiry for that article at lull prices; indeed, Ware parcels were held for more money. The quantity of Oats brought forward was smaller than fur some wee its last. The trade was decidedly firm, at full quotations. The few parcels of Beans on show were mostly cleared off at late rates. New white Peas produced 28s to 30s per quarter. All old qualities were quite as dear. In Indian Corn and Meal, next to nothing doing, either landed or afloat. We have uo change to notice in Flour, in which a full average amount of business was doing. CUREENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Two pockets of Hops of the current yr aria growth have arrived from Kent since our last report, and been disposed of at from 81 5s to 8181 per cwt. The quality has proved very unripe. With fine old Hops our market is very scantily stq plied. Although the demand is tar from active, prices are fairly supported. Old Hops are very dull. The plantation accounts state that the mould is increasing; yet the duty is still called 200,000/.

Although several losses have been sustained at sea, 81 Beasts, 408 Sheep, and 39 Lambs having been lost on passage from Rotterdam, the imports of foreign stock into London, since our last returns were made up, have been again very extensive, considering the low range of prices here, and which it was fully expected, some time since, would have had the effect of checking the arrivals, especially as most kinds of meat are rela tively dearer in the Dutch markets than here. We un derstand that the quantity of stock in Holland ready for export is decidedly larger than last 3 ear; hence we see no prospect of any material falling off in the foreign supplies, notwithstanding that the importations from France and Spain have almost wholly ceased. The Dutch Sheep, Lambs, and Calves are arriving in better condition, particularly the former. The total importation last week amounted to 7,212 head. Daring the same period in 1849 we received 4,987; in 1848, 5,127; and, in 1847, 5,003 bead. The supply was derived as under: — IMPORTS INTO LONDON IN THE PAST WEEK. From Beasts. Sheep. Lambs. Calves.

From Ireland 68 COVIP have come to hand for our market by sea. Large supplies of foreign stock were brought forward in to-day's market. All kinds mov ed o ff slowly, and prices were not supported. From our northern grazing diktricts, the arrivals of Beasts fresh up this morning were seasonably extensive as to number, but very defi cient in quality. The few prime Scots, &c., offering, commanded a steady sale, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last, in a few instances the highest figure for Beef being 4s, though the general top quota tion was 3s 10d per Blbs. All other bre, ds were in very moderate request, but we have no change to notice in their value. Froth Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, &c., we received 2,800 Short-horns; from other parts of England 300 of various breeds; and from Scotland 68 horned and polled Scots per railway. The remainder of the supply was derived from abroad and the neighbourhood of the metropo lis. We were well supplied with both English and Foreign Sheep, especially the former. There was less activity in the demand for that description of stock than on this day se'nnight, and to effect a clearance the salesmen were compelled to accept of rather easier terms. The general top price of Mutton was 4s per 81bs, although a few very superior old Downs realised 4s 2d per Bibs. Some of the Half-breds were worth nearly as much money as the general run of Downs. Lambs were in full average supply, and sluggish request, on somewhat eas i e r terms—the top fig ure being 4s 64 per Blbs. Although the supply of Calves was extensive, the Veal trade ruled firm, at fully Friday's currencies. We had a better inquiry for Pigs, at prices quite equal to those of last week. Ink the offal.

The public sales of Colonial Wool, at which upwards of 50,000 bales will be brought forward, and which are expected to last nearly a month, were commenced on Thursday. UP to the present time about 5,000 bales have been disposed of, at prices fully cq ial to those ob tained at the previous auctions. Australian qualities have sold at an average of IS 3d per lb. Some fine parcels of Lamb's Wool have produced Is Ili , ' to 2s 2id per lb. The private contract market is by no means active, yet prices may be considered steady.

STRIKE OF THE ENGINE-DRIVERS. The trains thathaveWen discontinued in consequence of the strike of the engine-drivers and firemen are to be placed upon the line spin to-day, and the Eastern Counties traffic will be worked precisely as it was before the unfortnate dispute between Mr. Gooch and the men. It is to be hoped that the result of the "strike" upon the Eastern Counties Railway will be a lesson to the drivers and firemen throughout the kingdom. Seven days since between 80 and 90 engine -drivers were receiving good wages, and the same number of firemen an ave rage pay of 4s. per day. Some fines having, as they state, been levied upon them in an arbitrary manner, they, either led away by evil counsel, or in the presumption of their own fancied power to coerce their employers, demand the dismissal of their superintendent, as a con dition of their continuing to work the traffic. So con fident were they of their ability to " shut up the line," that the formality of an appeal to the directors against Mr. Gooch's alleged tyrannical conduct was not gone through, and it was conceived that they had simply to send in their printed notices in a lump, and the dismissal of a locomotive engineer of irreproachable private character, cf great experience and high standing in his profession, would follow instanter and as a matter of course. The experience of a week has shown them what a clever and de termined locomotive superintendent can, when support/id by his directors, do to check a system of dictation which, if submitted to, would eventually prove as injurious to the men as it is intolerable to the masters. Not a single old engine-driver or fireman will be taken into the ser vice of the company; and we believe there is not the re motest chance of any one of them obtaining employ ment upon any line in England. Tt e men can scarcely expect that combination, in its most offensive spirit on their part, should not beget precautionary measures on the part of the various railway companies, who may plead the recent outrageous attempt at dictation, and the presumed concomitant insubordinate disposition of the rine, as a reason for refusing to employ them. With no " trade" to fall back upon, the majority of the old drivers must either emigrate at the expense of the ge neral body, or fall into the class of labourers. From the receipt of 21. 10s. per week they will descend at once to that ef 15s. or 18s., and with the uncomfortable re flection that the " change for the worse " has been the consequence of their own folly. We hear that some of those" evil spirits," who live upon or delight in combinations and conspiracies, are urging the policy of a general strike among the engine drivers and firemen of the country, in order to compel the Eastern Counties Coml. any to take back the old men. We trust and believe that the 'animal who may advise such a course will meet with the treatment they deserve.—Morning Herald. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUS. Sin,—The Mr. M'Cullough mentioned in this morning's papers as the chairman of a meeting of the late engtae-drivers and firemen of the Eastern Counties t Railway Company, held at Stratford on Saturday last, never was in the service of that com pany, either as an engine -driver or in any otber capacity. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, C. P. RONEY, Sec. Eastern Counties Railway-office, Bishopsgate-station, Aug. 26, 1850. NORWICH REGATTA. This regatta took place on the 1 9 th instant, with a programme nearly sufficient for two days' sport, viz.:— Two sailing matches, two sculling-matches in heats, two four-oared matches in heats, and an amateur sculling match. The first was— A sailing match, by cutter-rigged boats not exceeding 28 feet; the prize, a beautiful silver tankard of the value of 15 guineas ; time allowed for length, 15 seconds per foot. The course sailed for both sailing matches was from stakes in the New Cut up to a buoy placed oppo site the first fixes railway bridge, down to a buoy in Whatlingham Lower Reach, tour rounds, making a distance altogether of about ten miles, finishing at the s t a kes from which they st arte d .

Eliza made a capital start, and was nearly up to Wal lace before she got off the mud, to which she laid too close; Venus followed well up, while Long-looked-for and Tantivy paired off behind the others. Shortly, how ever, Tantivy gained upon her companion, and, after trying three or fear times to pass her (it was blow ing half a gale of wind from west by north, and the boats were beating up), she ran her bowsprit through h a l t ii h n ta e l d yl i e r a aE i b tlu o e li p u r z a very exciting match the Long.looked-for'e quarter, carrying away washboards and letting in daylight where it was not welcome.

Mr. Diver, we are sorry to say, did not contend for the prize, which was a massive silver cigar-ease, elaborately embussed, and but three gentlemen came to the post. The course was about a mile-and-a-half in length from the Norfolk Railway, Swing-bridge, to King's Meadows. The boats started behind each other at intervals of about forty yards.—Mr. P. Palmer, - Mr. F. Foster, Mr. W. E, Cater last. The race, however, was all one way, for at went ahead and won wi t h ease, by yards. Mr. Winter pulled i n a b oat the bottom of the New Cut M r .

THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. The accounts of the Bengal presidency which we on Friday abstracted compose fully two-thirds of the whc le territorial accounts of the East India Company, the re mainder being divided in unequal proportions between the financial statements of Madras and Bombay. The net revenues of Bengal, including those of the north western provinces, amounted, it will be remembered, to about 12 millions sterling, more or less, and the charges thereupon to about 11 millions, more or less, leaving a surplus of somewhat more or less than a million, as the case might be. In the presidency of Madras the total net revenues are less by two-thirds than those of Bengal, being under the sum of four millions sterling, though they exhibit a small but steady rate of increase for the last four years. Of the gross amount fully three-fourths are contributed by the land revenue, which even exceeds that derived from Bengal proper, being somewhat above three and a half millions sterling. Opium does not figure among the sources of revenue in Madre., but the p ivileged sales of tobacco and salt produce yearly least half a million. The next considerable item is that fu Dished by the subsidies, which are drawn annually from Mysore, Travancore, and Cochin, to the amount of some 340,0001. On the other hand, the Nabob of the,Carnatic, the Raja of Tanjore, the Mysore Princes, and other stipendiaries, draw upwards of half a million yearly from the treasury of Fort St. George, and certain obligations consequent on the insolvency of one of these dignitaries are represented by charges amount ing to 40 0001. more. The reader is -not likely to have forgotten that we are creditors to a considerable extent of the Court of Hyderabad. The assets of the Madras presidency thus e quivocally constituted are breught to bock under the head of " interest of debt due by the Nizsm's Government, " and, including other similar items, amount for the past year to more than 30,0001.; but whether this entry refers to sums actually realized, or only to sm-tainable claims, we cannot say. On the whole amount the gross revenues of this presidency slightly exceed five millions, from which about 570,0001. is subtracted for assignments and allowances, and 650,0001. for the costs of collection, leaving the net total such as we have specified above. Comparing Madras with Bengal, we observe that the costs of collection are considerably smaller in the former presidency, where five millions are re alized at a charge of 650,0001., while in Bengal little short of two millions are consumed in col lecting less than ten. The subsidies received by the Madras Government exceed those of Bengal by 50 per cent., but, on the other hand, its obligations in the shape of pensions and assignments are more than double. Turning now to the expenditure of the presidency, we find that the civil and political charges are reckoned at 380,0001., little more than one-third of the sum allotted to the same purposes in Bengal; the judicial and police establishments absorb some 340,0001., about half the Bengal charge; while the army is maintained at a cost of two and a half millions, being also exactly half the expenditure of the superior presidency on this important head. We have brought a few of these charges into contrast with each other, but it must be bcrne in mind that the political liabilities of the se veral presidencies are so different that it would be alto gether unfair to institute an unconditional comparison between their respective expenses. Madras is as peace ful and untroubled as Yorkshire, while, not to mention the incidental obligations of the seat of government, hostilities have recently pressed with unremitting ur gency upon Bengal. Still there is, doubtless, something attributable to what may be termed the national cha racters of the two presidencies. As a general result of the accounts, we find that while the income of the Ma dras Government is steadily increasing, its charges are diminishing with equal regularity, so that every year brings a considerable augmentation to the surplus. In 1845.6 this was about 65,0001.; in 1846-7, nearly 200,0001.; in 1847.8, above 270,0001.; and last year, upwards of 460,000/. Up to this point, therefore, we have a total surplus income of something like 1,300,0001. upon the whole of India, exclusive of Bombay. The Bombay revenues amount, in the gross, to about 3,800,0001., composed of contributions similar to those described in the accounts of Madras and Bengal. The land-rents furnish, as before, the bulk of the sum—that is to say, some 2,250,0001. Opium again re-appears as a productive commodity, and yields more than half a million annually. The salt duties are less considerable, and the subsidies enjoyed by the presidency consist of no more than 20,0001. contributed by the Government of Cutch. Per contra, the ex-Peishwa of the Mabrattas and his Minister, in conjunction with other claimants, make yearly demands upon the treasury to the amount of 180,0001., and more than five times this sum is devoted to " district and village officers, including charitable grants to mosques, pagodas, &c. The cost of collection is under 10 per cent.— a smaller proportion than we have hitherto met with, but which, taken together with the other deduc tions, suffices to bring the total net revenue of Bombay down to some 2,400,0001. The charges incurred by the presidency are unfortunately not circumscribed in the same ratio. The civil and political services absorb about 420,0001., a larger sum than is required at Madras; the judicial and police establishments carry off 250,0001., and 1,600,0001. is demanded for the maintenance of the army. The marine, too, though not a very serious item in Indian accounts generally, figures considerably by the side of the other charges in Bombay. The navy esti mates for Madras are brought within a compass to which few financial reformers would take exception -10,0001.; but the Bombay' marine demands nearly 210,0001, a sum e xceeding .._tjiat to which pilotage charges swell the same item at Calcutta. Altogether, expenditure s gainst income, the balance-sheet of the Bombay presidency admits • deficit of some 680,000/. We have reserved the mention of certain charges in each of the presidencies in order that they might be more instructively exhibited in juxtaposition. We find that upon " buildings, roads, and other public works, exclusive of repairs," there were expended during the year to which these returns relate 45,000/. in Bengal, 48,(,00l. in the north-weatern provinces, 23,000/. in Madras, and 38,0001. in Bombay. The proportion of outlay thus borne by the smallest presidency is satis factory, considering the importance of its cotton districts and its ports; but the reader will probably be of opinion that the total investment on this head falls considerably short of its due magnitude. Perhaps it may facilitate some calculations if we mention that the population of Ben , - " engal, exclusive of the Punjaub, is 10out sixty millions, or somewhat less; that of Madras about ftlteen or sixteen millions; and that of Bombay about three mil- lions. This estimate is formed for the British terri tories alone, but it does not include districts of recent acquisition tither in the Deccan or towards the north west. The population of the Punjaub has been rated, perhaps by a low estimate, at five millions; that of Sinde, perhaps by a high estimate, at the same amount; and eight millions more may be added on account of southern districts not comprised in the estimates given above. On the whole, it would seem to follow that since Ben gal and Madras show an aggregate surplus of more than 1,300,0001., against which Bombay only presents a deficit of less than 700,0001., the balance of the Com pany's account should be on the right side of the sheet. And this, in point of fact, is in some sense the case, for . , _ . the total charges of all the governments in India are only, by the last accounts, 17,004,431 t, whereas the _ _ , . total revenues and receipts in India are 17,692,6101., showing a surplus, in proportion to the figures, quite as handsome as our own. There remains behind, however, a heavy demand under the head of " Charges disbursed in England," exceeding three millions sterling, and creating an ultimate deficit on the total account of no -- less than 2,324,7291. The analysis of this charge will sufficiently explain its character, but we must reserve the WI for a future occasion.—Times. NARROW ESCAPE.—On Thursday week, as a boy named Alfred Revile, in the service of Mr. William Parsons, solicitor, Sherwood-rise, was crossing the race-course, on his return home, at one o'clock, he was suddenly attacked by a horse in the following singular manner: —The animal laid hold of him on the arm near the shoulder, and lifted him from the ground. The boy cried loudly for help, and the horse letting go his hold, he fell upon the course, and endeavoured to crawl away on his hands and feet. The horse, however, followed him, and tried to tread on him with his fore feet, but the boy instantly got up and had the presence of mind to se . ze the horse by the nose, and retain his hold until a " friend in—deed" came to the rescue and drove the animal away. The boy soon fell again from weakness, and was with difficulty got home. The wound on the arm caused by the teeth of the horse was found to be very serious, and, without proper treatment, might have been injurious to the boy through life. He is, however, out of danger, and is rapidly recovering from the effects of his curious accident.—Nottinq ham Mercury. THE GUNPOWDER MAGAZINES AT WALLASEY.— The commissioners of Wallisey; in-their memorial to Sir George Grey, have made • eat a strong case for the removal of the gunpowder magazines to Hilbre Island, or some other more remote or isolated district. It appears that the amount of powder kept in deposit by the various lessees is about 16,000 barrels, or between 700 and 800 tons; and that, on an average, the receipts and deliveries are about 2,000 barrels weekly. Traffic in se explosive a commodity has been too long permitted on the shores of the Mersey, and in the im mediate vecinity of a large number of the residences and of the summer resort of the merchants of Liverpool and their families. If we may judge from the melancholy results of recorded explosions of gunpowder, few persons from Sea cc mbe to the Rock Perch would survive a single accident to the magazines at Wallasey; whilst it is more than probable that the shipping and property on the Liverpool side would suffer materially. We trust, therefore, that after the repre sentations which have been made to Government, no delay will take place in the removal of this dangerous store from the banks of the river Mersey. Since writing the above we have ascertained, from the best authority, that the memorial has been forwarded by Sir George Grey to the Board of Ord nance, who have ordered a colonel of engineers to proceed to Liverpool, in order to report on the construction of the build ings, and on the probability of danger from storing there large quantities of gunpowder.— Liverpool Mercury. TILE STATE OF THE IRON TRADE.—In the main the exhaustion of the iron trade is but the natural collapse of a temporary system, fostered for a special purpose— that of railway formation ; and although some of its forced branches must wither, the root will remain as before, and the trade will again flourish, when reduced once more to its legi timateand permanent dimensions. Builder. TUB TRADE OF LEEDB.—Grood3 suitable for the winter trade have sold freely at our cloth-halls, both on Sa turday and on Tuesday, but the supply continues short in consequence of the manufacturers being engaged to order. Prices are steady, and the stocks in all hands are much lower than usual at this period of the year. Business in the warehouses has been pretty brisk, both with the wholesile buyers and the country drapers, and there is more doing by the shipping houses than usual so late in the season...—Leeds Mercury. - - GLUTTONY.—At a Midsummer treat, given not 100 miles from St. Austell, four men, one boy, and three women consumed the following :-541bs. of beef, 141bs of ham, 11 cabbages, 9 gallons of potatoes, with bread and pud ding, 16 gallons of porter, 6 gallons of bear, and 4 gallons of cider.-ILoyal Comma Goz,ette. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. - - - -- The season closed on Siturday with a performance which for variety and for excellence rivalled the most glorious of the glorious long Thursdays. We had the great scene from I Duc Foscari, with P4rodi and Coletti ; La Figlia del Ileggirnento, with Sontag, Gardoni, and F. .Lablyche ; the grand scena from the second act of Der Freischutz, beautifully rendered by Madame Fiorentini ; a E. eerie from Il Illatrirnonio Segretto by the Lablaches, pere etfils, and Calzolari ; a charming Spanish canz:met sang by Madame Fiorentioi in character, which was deservedly encored, and which drew down on the fair cantatrice showers of bouquets ; the National Anthem sung by the whole strength of the company and two divertisse- ments, in both of which Ainalia Ferraris appeared. The house was crowded, the artistes all exerted them selves to the utmost, and the applause throughout was enthusiastic. Thus has ended a season in which, under more than ordinary difriculties, Mr. Lumley has by his untiring exertions, his great enterprize, his inexhaustible fertility of resources, and his great liberality and spirit, snore than maintained the prestige and character of this establishment, as the most fashionable as well as the first establishment fur the representation of the lyrical drama in the world. On the 12th of March the season opened with Meyer's opera of Medea, in which Madlle. Parodi sustained the principal character. This character was the chef d'ccurre of Madame Pasta, and Madlle. Parodi sustained it in a manner worthy of her instructress and her elf. Shortly afterwards Madlle. Parodi appear( d as Abigail, in Nino, an 1 is the best representative of the character that n e have yet seen. As Elvira, in Ernani, she achieved a perfect triumph, and the last act of the opera, owing principally to her impassioned acting, became a stock pertnrinance during the re mainder of the season. Her Romeo, also, was beautifully pathetic; and in Fidalma , in the Matri, monio Segretto, and in Ste phano in La Tempesta, she exhibited a fund of comic humour, a verve, a spirit, and an abandon, which astonished even her most ardent admirers. On the 2d of April an event took place which is unparalleled in the annals of the Italian opera in this country, that is the representation of an Italian opera in which the prima donna, the primo trnore, and the conductor were all English ; on that evening was represented Lucia di Lammermoor, with Catherine Mayes as Lucia, Sims Reeves as Edgardo, and Balfe as the conductor of the music. It was a glorious triumph for the English artistes. Miss Catherine Hayes was one of the most interesting and pathetic of Lucias, and but for the unfortunate illness under which she has been suffering, would no doubt have followed up her successes in Lucia and Cherubino by a succession of triumphs which would have placed her at the very head of her profession. Mr. Sims Reeves, by his performance as - Edgard°, at once placed himself in the first rank of tenors, a position which be fully maintained by his subsequent imper sonations of Ernani and Elvino. After the Easter recess, on the 4th of April, Madame Sontag appeared in the character of Norina in Don Pasquale, and continued with us until the last night of the season, exhibiting in her various representa tions of Norina, Zerlina, Rosina, Susanna, Amina, Linda, Elvira in the Puritani, Miranda in La Tempesta, Semiramide, and Maria in the Figlia del Rep,gimento, not only the most perfect and beau tiful vocalization, but a versatility of talent and a histrionic power for the possession of which the world had not theretofore given her credit. Whatever she did was not only sung but acted well, and in Maria she achieved a success which even the most ardent admirers of Jenny Lind were compelled to ad mit they had thought impossible for any other artiste than their favourite to achieve. On the same evening that glorious artiste Lablache appeared with undiminished power; the present has, perhaps, been Lablache's greatest season for years ; his conception and execution of the character of Caliban in La Tempesta is one of the most perfect and most magnificent specimens of histrionic genius that has ever been exhibited. The loyalty of this the greatest of artistes to the establishment in which he has won his laurels forms a most honourable contrast to the conduct of some other artiste.. No temptation has induced Lablache to quit ber Majesty's Theatre, and we are rejoiced to hear that he has entered into a fresh engagement with Mr. Lumley for three years. About this time Signor Lorenz.), a new baritone, appeared and achieved a marked success, in the cha racters of Nino, and of Gomez in Ernani. Calzolari has been with us from the beginning of the season, and has improved greatly. Nothing could be better than his Count Almaviva, his Don Ottavio, or his Paolo ; we consider Calzolari the most promising of the rising tenors. Coletti—the magnificent-voiced Coletti—also ap peared early in the season, and has continued with us to its close. Signor Baucarde, a new tenor from Naples, ap peered shortly after Easter in I Lombardi, and achieved an ivatnense success, which was well billowed up by his impersonation of Arturo. Success, how ever, made him careless, and with one of the most de licious voices with which nature ever enriched a man, combining power and quality, and richness and sweetness, in a rare degree, he left at the conclusion of the season, having certainly failed to main tain the character which he had justly earned at the cominencement—a failure solely attributable to his own carelessness, and which, therefore, tray, and we hope, will be remedied. A new contralto appeared in the person of Mademoiselle Ida Bertrand, a sweet singer and an energetic actress, who achieved a great success in Pierwto, and a perfect triumph in Orsini. Madame Fre zzolini made her debut early in May, in Lucrezia Borgia, and at once, became a decided favorite, and her subsequent performances of Lucia, Guilietta, and Adina added greatly to her well-earned fame. Immediately after the debut of Madame Frezzolini, occurred the great event of the season, the production of La Tea - Testa. The circumstances attending the production of this magnificent opera are fresh in the memory of every opera-goer, and never was lyrical work of high merit produced under circumstances so honourable to the management producing it. _ Neither pains, nor trou ble, nor expense, were spared to make it as perfect as possible ; the most accomplished dramatist of Europe was engaged to write the libretto, the greatest musi cian in Europe bad been engaged to compose the music, and when death deprivel the world of Men delsshon no pains were spared to secure the services of a maestro worthy to be his successor, and when completed the opera was produced in a style and witb a cast such as no other lyrical establishment in the world could have secured for it. Sontag, Lablache, Coletti, Baucarde, Ida Bertrand, Giuliani, Lorenzo, F. Lablache. and Car lotta Grisi, were all in the cast. Its success was most complete, and it had a run al most unexampled in the operatic annals of this country. Of the Caliban of Lablache, and of the Ariel of Carlotta Grisi, it is work of supererogation to speak—they are already world-famous. Towards the conclusion of the season Gardoni joined the corps, and appeared in some few of his favourite characters with undiminished success. His voice is as pure and as sweet, and his acting as pa thetically impassioned as ever. He is engaged for next season. At the close of the season Madame Fiorentini ap peared. She is a pupil of Crevelli, and had been previously almost unknown to fame ; but by ber performance in the characters of Norma and Donna Anna, she, in one week, achieved for herself a position in the very foremost rank of prime donne, and brought the season to a brilliant conclusion. We believe that Mr. Lumley has engaged her for next season. The ballet department has been very strong; Carlotta Grisi appeared in a new ballet, Les Metamorphoses, on the first night of the season, and has continued with us to within a fortnight of its conclusion. Marie Taglioni appeared early in the season, and a new dancer, Mdlle. Amalia Ferraris, appeared in the month of April, and at once took her station as one of Les•DeesSes de la danse. The splendid ballet Les Metamorphoses was most success ful, and was repeated frequently during the course of the season. A new pas, entitled Les Graces, produced for the purpose of exhibiting the combined talents of the deesses, Carlotta Grisi, Amalia Ferraris , and Marie Taglioni, was most succ ess f u l, andsma, ny of the favourite ballets of last season were revived. During the season a series of grand classical concerts were given with great success. The selection of the music refle ct s the . greatest credit on the judgment and taste of Mr. Balfe, whose man ner of conducting the orchestra was, throughout the season, beyond all praise. REATRE ROYAL, BELFAST.—The third appear ance last night of the present operatic company in Belfast, proved the charm attached to the mystic number three, as they came out in greater power and - effect in their third opera, Sonnumbu/a, than in either of the two preceding. Miss Pyne gave unmitigated satisfaction in the singing and acting of Amine. She enunciated clearly and artistically, and evinced throughout a sensible and musical appreciation of the part, which amply responded to the reputation she has earned in metropolitan circles. 'fo say we were pleased with the per formance were to convey a taint idea of the gratification we received; in justice to her claims we can use no feebler term than the word "delighted," and the quality and volume of voice which she put forth, combined with her breadth of ex pression, and the purity of her intonation; no less surprised than astonished us. Mr Harrison ably seconded Miss Pyne as Elvino. His falsetto was sparingly used, alql his tioriture appropriately introduced; he gave the Tutto e sciolto in ex cellent style, and was encored in this as in other arias, as he deservedly merited to be. His performance throughout the whole part was characterised by taste and earnest passion. Mr.'Lloyd played Alessio well ; and Mr. and Mrs. Weiss ably sustained their roies.—Northern Whig, Aug. 22. The Rev. Dr. Jeremie, recently elected to the im portant office of Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge, has received from the Court of Directors, in consideratiOn of his eminent talents and valuable services during twenty years as Classical Professor and Dean at the East India Civil College, the present of a valuable piece of plate.

HER MAJESTY'S INSPECTION OF 'filE DOVER HARBOUR OF REFUGE. It being announced that the royal yacht Victoria and Albert would 'Liss close in shore on Friday evening, o❑ its return from Ostend, in order to afford her Majesty and the Prince Consort an opportunity of viewing the Refuge Harbour works, the beach and bay early in the afternoon presented a very animated appearances. The parade was lined with gay and fashionably-attired visitors, while the Channel was dotted with ships and steamers as far as the eye could reach. Shortly after five o'clock the royal squadron was seen bearing down from the Downs in a line with the South Sand Light. Flags were hoisted on the heights and castle, the Government-offices, and tha numerous vessels in the harbour, and the cliffs in front of the garrison were fringed with the 91st in single file. At length the royal yachts came abreast of the castle. The Vivid and Fairy were on either side, while the Black Eagle brought up the rear. She was hauled close in under the Refuge Harbour works the guns on the western heights and the castle sa luting, and the troops on the top of the cliff firing feu de joics. The Victoria and Albert being anchored abreast of the harbour, Captain I.3*ldock, the Superintendent of the Packet Service, the Mayor, Mr. Walker, the Admiralty engineer, and Mr. Irons, the harbour master, proceeded off with plans of the work, which were submitted to her Majesty and Prince Albert. The royal pair were on deck, and seemed much gratified with the loyalty of the thousands who lined the beach. The royal yacht was brought so close in shore as to be within hail of the pier head. Her Majesty, the Prince, and the royal children appeared in excellent health. The Queen and the Princesses were dressed in plain silk mourning, and the two young Princes as sailors. It was anticipated that, as night was setting in, the royal squadron would lie in the bay till morning. The favourable state of the weather, however, induced the trip to be resumed, and at eight o'clock, after a stay of nearly two hours, during which time her Majesty was earnestly engaged in inquiring into the character of the works and reviewing the lines, bee., the Victoria and Albert steamed out of the bay, and proceeded away to the westward, amid the same manifestations of loyalty as greeted her Majesty's arrival. THE Q UEEN'S VISIT TO NE W CASTLE. (From the Newcastle Guardian.) The directors of the York, Newcastle, end Berwick Railway had a meeting on Wednesday evening at the railway station in the Forth, Newcastle, to further the arrangements in anticipation of her Majesty's visit on Thursday next. A contemporary gives a detail of those arrangements in the f Alovving terms:—Although it is understood that her Msjesty, in opening the new station, will not alight from ht r carriage, yet, as it is possible as well as desirable, that some change may take place in the royal intention in this respect, the directors have ordered that two spacious rooms should be set apart for her Majesty's use, one as a retiring-room, and the other for luncheon, prosided her Majesty will condescend so far to meet the views of the authorities. Mr. Thomas Dotchin, of Pilgrim-street, is now busily engaged in fitting up these rooms. The walls will be covered with fluted cloth, red and white, and the coiling will be panelled in a similar style. Some large and splendid mirrors will be introduced. Adjoining these rooms and opening into them is a large reception-room, in which the railway directors and the members of the Newcastle corporation will partake of luncheon, and where they will await the arrival of her Majesty. On the spacious area of the station will be erected two large platforms commanding a view a the royal party, and txtending from the rails to the reception-room on each side. These will be opproptiated to ladies, and will accommodate about '2 500. The entrance to the station from the High Level-bridge, will be decorated in such a manner as to produce a most imposing efFect. At present the treble arched roof has a grat,d, though somewhat naked, ap pearance; but en the occasion of the ro3 al visit, the thee.- arches will be occupied by three splendid emblema tical bas-reliefs, in imitation of stone. The centre will contain the royal arms. On the right side will be a full length view of her Majesty, surrounded by her dominions, represented by figures dressed in their respective nati , nal costumes, with the appropriate motto, ‘• On the Dominions t f Britain the Sua never sets." On the left side a full length likeness of Prince Albert, sur rounded by the arts and sciences. The figures cf her Majesty and the Prince will be each twelve feet in height. These paintings, which are in an advanced stage of progress, are the production of Mr. R. S. Scott, whose talent as an artist has already commanded public admiration. The entire arrangements are under the direct'on of Mr. Dobson, the architect. The iron pillars supporting the arches will be decorated with evergreens. Outside the station there will be standing room for thou sands of spectators all along the line of railway. The project for raising a subscription amongst the inhabitants of the town, for the purpose of having grand public display of fire-works in the evening, in honour of her Majesty and Prince Albert's second visit to this town, is progressing favourably, and the Weaver's Tower, New Bridge-stie,f, has been granted f the occasion. It is the intention of the parties to engage a competent person from London, to manage the exhibi tion en the occasion. At Berwick, where luncheon will also be provided, the preparations made by the railway authorities will be on a scale of great splendour. A triumphal arch, de signed by Mr. John Gibson, of this town, is now in comae of erection by Messrs. Waite and Howard, at the north end of ihe Bent ick viaduct. The arch will be our mounted by an entablature, with a richly decorated freize. On the z pandrils will be medallions of the Queen and Prince Albert in bas-relief, surrounded by elegant ornaments, on " Victoria tartan" drapery. Beneath the arch is to be the emblem of the Union; on the abut ments will be shown the arms of Newcastle, Berwick, and Edinburgh, on shields, surrounded by Grecian orna ments, from the arch will be suspended large banners ; the whole will be surmounted by the royal arms of En gland, painted in imitation of statuary, the supporters being nine feet six inches long; scrolls with mottoes will encircle the columns, and evergreens and artificial flowers will be brought in aid of the general effect, which promises to be one of brilliancy and elegance. From the apparent care and judgment bestowed on the design, and the great ability with which the decora tions are being executed by Messrs. John and Joseph Gibson, the work, we anticipate, will be one worthy of the great uni interesting occasion. Atter passing the triumphal arch it is expected that her Majesty and the Prince will alight and partake of luncheon in a marquee, which will be handsomely fitted up for the reception of the royal party. The marquee is situated at a short distance from the spot where the royal party will alight •, the two points will be con nected by an aventv, through which her Majesty will pass. On the right of this avenue will be an open slate accessible to the public. On the left of the marquee will be an outlet leading to an octagon building, which will be ascended by a flight of steps, and from the top of which the eye takes in a magnificent prospect of the surrounding scenery, including the Lew bridge, the town of Berwick, the sea, and the verdant slopes of the Tweed. Her Majesty will thus be enabled to survey the boundaries of Englan d and Scotland at the most favourable point (f iiew. The area enclosed by the avenues leading from the marquee to the railway on the one side, and the octagon will be occupied by the share holders of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway Company. It is understood the Queen will christen the bridge "The Royal Border Bridge." Loyal addresses will be presented to her Majesty both at this town and Berwick by the respective munici pal authorities. The royal party are expected to ar rive at Edinburgh about five o'clock in the evening, where her Bl , jesty will be received by the Lord Provost, the commander-in chief, and other cffioials. The route to Holyrood Palace will be through the Queen's Park. by the new road en the site of the Duke's -walk. ACCIDENT TO THE 110 N. W. 0. STANLEY, M.P.— HoLyitEAD, FRIDkY.—An accident which might have been attended with a fatal result has just occurred to the Hon. W. o.. Stanley. As his carriage (containing Lady Sarah Hay ‘‘ illiarne, of Bodelwyddan, another lady, and the Hon. Gentleman) was proceeding down Summer-hill, the horses sadonly became restive, and the pole broke, so that they became untnenagable, and ran with great force against the gable end of a house at the foot of the hill. Mr. Stanley was thrown out of the vehicle with great violence, and was severely injured by the fall. Ono of the horses was killed on the spot, and the carriage received much damage. The ladies mere both hurt and frightened by the severe shock. Every assistance was rendered by the inhabitants residing near, and efficient medical aid instantly procured for Mr. Stanley, who, it is rum hoped, will progress favourably to wards recovery. It is providential that no fatal result at tended an accident of so serious a nature. DEATH OF THE LATE CHAIBALLN OF LLOYD's,..—. Our obituary of to -day announces the death of Alr.
