Mrs. Butler (late Miss, Fanny Kemble) made her first appearance on the stage since her retirement, at this theatre last evening. The part chosen for her debit was that of Julia, in the .Hunchback, a character which she herself bad created originally, and in which the majority of her suc cessors have taken I.er as their model. On her first appear ance she was greeted with most enthusiastic applause—so enthusiastic that her reception apparently unnerved her for the time, and prevented her doing full justice to the earlier scenes. She warmed, however, as she proceeded, and the celebrated "Do it," produced the same electrical effect as ever. She was called for at the conclusion, and received with cheers, which laAted several minutes. She was ad mirably supported by Mrs. Stirling, whose Helen was quite equal to the Julia of Mrs. Butler, and by Mr. Cresswick, who acted Master Walter, and by humanizing the Hunchback, made him more interesting than any of his predecessors have done. Compton's Modus was exceedingly quaint. The house was very well attended. LONDON, TUESDAY APRIL 27, 1847. E - E NG S Ny PUBLICATIONS. CHINA.

APRIL 24.—We have received to-day the Universal Russian Gazette of the 20th of this month. It brings us the account of the debate of the Diet, on the draught of the address, but it does not yet contain the conclusion of the sitting of the 16th, when the vote upon the address took place. The first debates in the Diet were of great importance, both from the declaration of the Minister, M.

AMSTERDAM, APRIL 24.—The reports respecting a visit from the Emperor of Russia to Stuttgard and Paris are still in circulation, but are directly at variance with each other, while private letters from Frankfort, received at Paris, positively contradict the plan of this journey. The German Gazette of Brussels, positively affirms that the Russian Ambassador, at Berlin, has re ceived notice that his Majesty would be at Wasan, on the 22d of April, and set out on the 26th for Stuttgard. ROYAL HIGHLAND SCHOOL SOCIETY. The seventy-fourth anniversary festival of this society was held on Saturday night, in the Freemason's Ilan, Great Queen-street. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, !'resident of the Institution, in the chair. Amongst the company present, in addition to his Royal Highness the Chairman, we recognised Sir James Duke, Alderman, M.P., Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., M.P., W. Ewart, Esq., M.P., and a number of gentle men connected with Scotland and interested in the pro gress of the society. Dinner was served up at six o'clock precisely, and comprised every delicacy of the season. On the removal of the cloth, The Duke of CAMBRIDGE gave in succession from the chair, " The Queen," " The Queen Dowager," " The Duchess of Kent," " Prince Albert, the patron of the Society and Chief of the Highlands," " The Prince of Wales, Duke of Rothesay, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles, &c.," " The Duchess of Gloucester and Edin burgh, the Lady Patroness of the society, " " The Army and Navy," &e. &c.; all of which were received with the usual honours. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE than proceeded to give the toast of the evening—" Prosperity to the Highland School Society." This important society (said his Royal Highness\ it was well known, was instituted in order to extend the blessings of education to the remote districta of the Highlands of Scotland. The London board in connexion with it had been formed in 1773, which had done much to advance its interests, and in 1829 it had received the countenance and support of his late lamented brother George the Fourth, as a society well entitled to public confidence and support. The object of the so ciety was the education and improvement of the children of Highlanders, and it was now very desirous that the directors should increase its funds, in order to extend its usefulness still more. At the present time 20,000 children were receiving education, for which purpose 120 schoolmasters were engaged. The inhabitants of the Highlands were in all about 450,000, and it was very desirable to extend the number of schools among them. This present assembly, therefore, was called together to see what could be done towards col lecting a sum of money to facilitate the extension of these - schools. The whole sum raised by the London board, last year, was about 6001., and it was hoped the amount this year would be considerably increased. He hope (l,with therefore,t success the and hewould now appeal of th e conclude would bybe attended proposing " Prosperity to the Royal Highland School Society.' The toast was received with loud applause, and drunk with all the honours. The SECRETARY (Mr. Mackie) then read the report for the past year. The list of subscriptions by the company was then lead. The Queen. 50/., in addition to 450/. before; the Queen Dowager, 10 guineas, in addition to 210 . guineas previously; Prince Albert, 12 guineas, in addition to a previous subscription of 100/.; his Royal Highness the Chairman, 201, in addition to 1001. before; the Duke of Buckingham, 10/., in addition to 601. before; Lord Haddo, one of the stewards, 10 guineas, in addition to 211. be fore; Sir James Duke, M.P. (a steward) 5 gui neas, in addition to 10 guineas previously; tha Duke of Buceleuch, 50/., in addition to 6201. before ; B. B. Cabbell, Esq., M.P., 201., in addition to 126/. before ; the Countess of Dunmore, one guinea ; Lord Saltoun, guineas, Mr. Ewart, Esq., M.P., 5 guineas, &c. These, in addition to several smaller sums, made upwards of 3001. Mr. B. B CADDELL then, in a highly eulogistic speech, proposed the health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, in the course of which ho pointed out the benefits whi c h h a d b een conferred on the Society by several memb ers o f t h e royal family, but more espe cially by the Dukes of Kent, Sussex, and their present Chairman. The toast was received with great cheering. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE returned thanks. He could only sincerely thank them for the honour done him in drinking his health ; and as for the present Society, it had not only his good wishes, but ho was determined to support it by every means in his power.—(Cheers.) His Royal Highness then retired, and the chair was taken by Mr. B. B. Cabbell, the Treasurer of the society. The following toasts were then given :—" The Chis holm and the Highlands of Scotland," " The health of the Treasurer," " Dr. Stebbing and the Church of Eng land," "The Press," "The Rev. J. U. Fisher and the Church of Scotland," " The Caledonian Society," " The Land o' Cakes," " Mr. Prior and the Stewards," &c. ; all of which w ere res p on d e d t o i n e l oquen t an d appro priate speeches. - During the evening several pupils of the Society, dressed in full Highland costume, paraded the room, at intervals discoursing most excellent music on the High landers' national instrument, the bagpipe. One little urchin of a piper especially performed his part so ad mirably as to elicit the repeated applause of the assembly. The vocal department was represented by Messrs. Rule and Moody, and Miss Townsend, (Mr. Wilson being absent, it was stated, through illness), but though several Scotch airs were sung in the course of the night, we cannot award much praise to the execution.

Mr. Wickham, Chairman of the Stamps and Ta x e s , h a d an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yester day, at his official residence in Downi ng-street, BRISTOL LIBERAL ASSOCIATION A special general meeting of the susbcribers to th© Liberal Registration Association was held last (Friday) night at the Tailors' Hall, Broad-street, for the purpose of receiving a r e p ort on t h e P ar li am entary register of th . s city, and con s id er i ng t h e steps t o be taken In anti cipation of the near approach of a general election. There . was a highly- respecta bl e a t ten dance, and the chair was , taken by G. Th omas, E sq. The Chairman having brit fly opened the proceedings, T. MILLS, Esq., read the fallowing REPOR. " The committ ee of the Bristol Liberal Registration Association h ave ta k en upon themse l ves th e responsibi lity of calling the present meeting, because, it being generally understood th at a f ew mo nths will terminate the pres en t P ar li ament, the time has a rrived for the Liberal party i n t hi s c i ty to enter on t h a t calm delibe ration and friendly consultation as to the course to be pursued, which may best ensure united action a n d a successful result. " Before, however, entering upon this duty, the core. mittee cannot but congratulate the Liberal party on the very favourable position it now occupies. Instead of having to s t rugg l e, as it were, for existence, it now commands an und ou b te d an d su b stan ti a l majority on the register; and, what is vet far more satisfactory, the truth of the great principles for which it has so long con tended is now admitted by many of chase formerly op posed to th em . Th e abatement of that bitter party feel ing which at one time prevailed must be also matter of much gratification. Even those who still continue opposed to our principles now, admit that we honestly sought to carry them out. .Another topic . of . pleasurable comment is afforded in the universal admission, that the representative twice chosen by the Liberal party has been, not only a f a i t hf u l an d a ble exponent of their prin ciples, but has also proved himself one of the most at tentive, unwearied, and efficient members that ever sat for this city. 'Mr. Berkeley bas been the representative of Liberal opinions; he has also been, in the most em phatic sense of the words, member for Bristol. " And this brings your committee to a consideration of the important subject for which this meeting has been summoned. A dissolution of Parliament is at baud. What course shall the Liberal party adopt? Your com mittee, whilst disclaiming the remotest intention of die tating that course, hope that they possess 30 muc h of your confidence as may entitle them to offer you a few suggestions. " They presume that the general voice of the Liberals of Bristol will call on Mr. Berkeleyagain to offer himself. They entertain not the slightest doubt that he will, again, for the third time be returned. The state of the register, the rapid growth of Liberal principles, the universal opinion that Mr. Berkeley has 'done his duty to the city fur the ten years he has b een i n P ar li ament as its repres en t a ti ve , render his position impregnable. Mr. Berkeley, then, being secure, the question arises, shall the Liberals take any or no part in the selection of a colleague for that gentleman ? Undoubtedly their numbers and their influence entitle them to a voice po tential in the matter ; but havi ng asserted and main tained their right to a share in th e representation of the city, your committee would suggest to y ou t h at , un d er present circumstances, it is not advisable to bring for ward a second candidate, unless unforeseen circum stances should compel them so to do. At the same time your committee would urgently impress upon every Liberal elector the absolute necessity of not promising his second vote. " Your committee cannot close this report without ad verting to the only matter which at all partakes of an unsatisfactory nature. Your association is in debt 3121. 13s. 7d. Your committee cannot bring themselves to believe that the liberals of Bristol will allow this small sum any longer to remain undischarged. When the admitted utility of the object for which the associa tion was formed, namely, that of placing u p on t h e re gister and afterwards defending his right to be there, every Liberal in the borough , with out di st i nction is i borne in mind ; when tis recollected h ow successfully that object has been obtained ; when it is considered that the provident outlay of a comparatively small amount in registration may save a vast expenditure at an election ; when it is remembered how much of the trouble, anxiety, and expense has devolved on a few of your body, your committee confidently hope that this meeting (more especially those of their friends who have not hitherto assisted them) will furnish them with the means of discharging the liabilities referred to, and thus enable them to proceed with renewed vigour and increased willingness in the path they have hitherto pursued, namely, that of upholding your rights, defend mg your interests, and securing your being heard and listened to in the great councils of the nation." W. TOTHILL, Esq., in moving the adoption of the re port, strongly urged upon the liberal party the import ance of their withholding any promise of their second vote. As the report stated, there was no present prospect or intention of bringing forward a second Liberal candi date ; but it was rumoured that there was a contest con templated between the candidate who was defeated at the last election and the present Tory Member, and cir cumstances might vary. The most likely course to preserve the peace of the city would be to let their opponents see that they would give no support to either of their candidates, in which case the weaker party, seeing their chance hopeless, would think it wise to save their time and their money.—(Hear.) F. TERRELL, Esq., seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted. The CHAIRMAN then called the attention of the meet ing to the importance of wiping off the debt which at present stood ag a i nst the association, an d w hi c h h a d accrued in consequ ence of the close attent i on w hi c h h a d been paid to the registration, and by means of which the Liberal party h a d been placed ' in a position to which it had never before attained Mr. VISGER moved a ' resolution to the effect that a subscription, to clear off the debt, should he at once i entered upon. M r. Visger addressed the meeting nan eloquent strain in ref erence to the present proud position in which the Lib erals stood as a party, not only in this city, but throughout the kino.dom• the means by which that position had been attained ; and the course by which it was to be m a i ntained and improve d . A s a part y they stood higher than over—( Hear) —they had obtained a large majority on the register, and a moral position they had n ever b efore occupied; they bad seen their principles carried out by those who had opposed them in their early struggles to advance and in this city they had seen th e once dominant party split up and Tory divided. Th e y ( t h e Liberals ) had no intention to cause a contest; but, as one might be forced upon t h em, i t would be desirable th at they should not entang l e them selves in any struggle on the other side, but hold their second votes in their own hands.—(Cheers.) Their present position had b een obta i ne d b y the u nceasin g attention which had b een paid to the reg i strat i on , espe cially by their respected Chairman and their active and zealous secreq.rY, Mr. Gilbert—(Cheers) —and they had only to continue and increase the efforts they had hitherto so successfully used in order to maintain and improve their pre sent exalted position.—(Cheers.) PRITCHARD, Ear..., seconded the resolution, which was adopted nent. con. A subscription was then opened, and, in the course of a very few minutes, about 150/. was raised—a large poi , . tion of it by small sums. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, who, in returning thanks, expressed his confidence in the speedy liquidation of the debt. The meeting then broke up. THE UNITED STATES FOUR DAYS LATER FROM AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. By the packet-ship Margaret Evans, Captain Pinker, we have received New York papers to the 7th inst., which bring the important intelligence of the reported surrender of Vera Cruz, after a severe struggle, and a great loss of life on both sides. (From the IVew York Sun of April 6). REPORTED CAPTURE OF VERA CRUZ, WITH A LOSS OF EIGHT HUNDRED AMERICANS. WASHINGTON, APRIL 5, EIGHT O'CLOCK, P.M. Passengers who came on this afternoon in the mail boat say, that as they were leaving Charleston an agent came running down to the boat and hallooed to them that a vessel had just arrived, bringing intelligence that Vera Cruz had been taken, after a desperate resistance, with a loss of 800 on our side. New Orleans papers of the 29th have been received by the southern mail of this evening. They are filled with the details of the incidents alluded to yesterday,- but no later intelligence. They state that the revolution against Gomez Farias was making headway, and it is thought be will be put down. The coalition now is between Santa Anna and the clergy. It was also reported that the priests bare sent him two hundred thousand dollars, as an earnest of their deter mination to support him. FURTHER PARTICULARS FROM VERA CRUZ. Sun:office, New York, April 6, 11 o'clock A. s. The fine steam-ship Southerner, Captain Berry, ar rived at nine o'clock this morning, sixty hours from Charleston, within an hour after the arrival of our ex press from Philadelphia. We have received files of the Charleston Mercury, Pat, lot, Courier, and News, to gether with New Orleans papers to the 30th ult. We copy the following interesting particulars:— (Correspondence of the Picay une .) Camp near Vera Cruz, March 13, afternoon. There was some slight skirmishing yesterday after noon and last evening, and before daylight this morning a general alarm in camp, as the Mexicans opened their different batteries, and commenced throwing shells from the castle, yet it amounted to but little. The enemy evidently expected a general attack, as they threw up rockets, fire balls, &c., completely lighting up the sand hills and chaparal around the walls. During the night a reinforcement of eight hundred Mexicans passed into the city, taking the beach north of General Twigget's command, which had not at that time fully completed the investment. Their safe arrival within the walls was announced by loud shouts, the ring ing of bells, and other rejoicings. In a few hours longer they would not have got in so easy. Our loss in the affair of the 11th was seven slightly wounded, as follows :—South Carolina Regiment: Lieutenant-Colonel Dickinson, W. H. Ballad, Lewis Conka, and J. E. Phillips—Georgia Regiment: B. F. M'Donald (son of the ex-Governor), John G. Eubanks, Thomas G. Scott, of Mississippi. The wound of Lieutenant-Colonel Dickinson, of the South Carolina Regiment, is improving. No other offi cers than those already mentioned have been killed or wounded so far. A fire, both of round shot and shell, has been kept up on the command of Captain Vinton, stationed at the lime kiln, near the south-eastern walls of the city, but as yet with little effect. It is estimated that one of our mortar batteries will be placed at this point. An 18-pounder belonging to the enemy had been found by Captain Backus, Ist Infantry. It was just op posite the spot where our troops landed. The Mexicans, it seems, had not time to get it planted, when the boat struck the shore. Another brilliant victory over the Mexicans was re ported in New Mexico. The packet ship Columbia had arrived at New York on the morning of the 6th. The following is the state of the New York markets:— Flour and Meal—We note sales of 400 barrels of Genesse at 7 dolls. 621 e. Sales to the trade at 7 dolls. 75e.; 1,500 barrels of Genessee to arrive from Troy, opening of the river, at 7 dolls. 15e. Rye Flour—Sales of 300 barrels at 4 dolls. 62i-c. to 4 dolls. 87ic.; sales of corn meal, delivered in May, at 4 dolls. 50c., and in June, at 4 dolls. 25c. Grain—Corn continues to meet a ready sale at ex treme prices, ranging from 88c. to 100 e., white and yel low. Oats-r Sales 4,000 bushels of river, deliverable in May, at 42e. _ Provisions—Pork is firmer. We quote old prime and mess at 12 dolls.lsoc. and 14 dolls. 50c. Sales new prime at 131 dolls.; new mess, 15 dolls. 50e. to 75c., and 16 dolls. asked. The receipt of two days later news from England gave some animation to the market, and additional firmness to the prices of bread stuffs ; but there is so little here to operate upon that there was no perceptible change in the high rates that have been obtained for the last few days. The latest dates from London and Liverpool are of the 6th of March. Ashes—Steady at 4 dolls. 87c. to 94c. and 6 dolls. 25c. per pots and pearls, with moderate sales. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

It had been arranged in Lyons that the illustrious invalid should remain in some town in the south of France until his strength should permit him to continue his journey to Rome." The Gazette de Lyons says—" We saw O'Connell step out of the carriage which brought him down to the steam-boat, and we experienced an indefinable feeling of sadness. ' What I' said we, is this the man who filled the world with his name, and made England tremble ?' (I) Life seems to have flown from the Liberator's countenance. He advanced slowly, resting on his physician and his chaplain, heedless of the persons who bowed to him as a mark of respect, and who had come to take a last farewell of the persons of his suite. It seemed to us as if we had before us Ireland still strong in her power ful Catholic organization, but sinking and dying. May Heaven protect O'Connell and Ireland! Drs.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Posismourn.—The Herefordshire troop-ship arrived here last night with her Majesty's 89th Regiment of Foot on board, from Halifax, Nova„ Sot,* They disembarked this day (Tuesday). COAST OF AF. Advices to the 16th ult. have come to hand by her Ma jesty's sloop of war Star, arrived at Portsmouth. She has brought no invalids. The squadron employed under Com modore Horton in looking out for slavers were keeping up a very strict blockade of the coast, especially at those places where shipments were most suspected to be practised. The squadron was healthy. This is the vessel which re-captured the prize taken by another cruizer (her name we have for gotten) whose crew rose upon the prize master, a young mid shipman, and his men, nine or ten in number, all of whom were murdered, and their bodies thrown overboard, for which the pirates we r e b roug h t to tr i a l at E xeter , convicted of murder and piracy, and sentenced to be hung, but who were afterwards liberated by the humane law of England upon a writ of error, and se t at l arge t o comm it further atrocities. DEATH OF SIR DAVIDGE GOULD. G.C.8., SENIOR ADMIRAL OF THE RED. It is with great regret that we have to announce the death of the senior admiral of the red, Sir Davidge Gould. G.C.8., Vice-Admiral of the United Kingdom. This gallant and venerable (Aker. who has long been in a declining state, and for the last six months confined to his room, sa nk at last, full of years and of h onours, into the long, quiet,' calm sleep of death, with ou t a struggle and without painat his seat in Herta, o n th e even i ng ot Friday, the 23d instant. He was in his 90th year, upwards of ;0 }ears ot which had been spent in the service of his country. This distinguished officer served under, and was the fliend and messmste of Nelson, Rodney, Hood, llotham, Hvde Parker, &c. His late Majesty William IV., with 'whom he had the honour of serving, was ever the most kind and gracious friend of his old companion and messmate. For some years past he has been the last surviving captain who commanded a line-of -battle ship at the glorious battle of the Nile. By his decease the post and place of Senior Admiral of the Red Flag, the Vice - Admiralship of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and a Grand Cross of the Bath, are vacant, and also a good service pension of 3001. per annum.

Yesterday evening the performances at this theatre, which• is now under the sole management of Mr. Fox Cooper, were calculated to sustain the high character which it has obtained for the melodrama. The first piece, Hogarth's Mirror, was a very successful attempt to embody that inimitable produc tion of Hogarth—Marriage a-la-IV - ode—with which every connoiseur is familiar. The story, as represented by Hogarth is simply that of a young female who is forced by ber father, a wealthy and an ambitious cit, to marry a profligate nobleman, notwithstanding her attachment to a young barrister.. After some severe struggles between love and duty, the heroine yields to the influence of the former, which leads to a chaptetlof horrors—to wit, the assassination of her husband by her paramour, and the poisoning of her self, under the influence of remorse for her crimi nal conduct. With the exception of an episode, the limning of the painter was adhered to by the dramatist, and the costumes were _quite correct. The acting was excellent. Mr. Darcie, as the Earl of Nornienfield, gave a very truthful impersonation of a dissolute nobleman ; and Miss Love, as Margaret Mammon, the heroine, embodied very forcibly the struggles of a young and ardent female, between the dictates of duty, and the strong yearnings of a deep passion. The minor characters were creditably sustained; and the piece, which was ushered in by a humourous and appropriate address, delivered by Mr. Henry Lee, and followed by a lively epilogue by Mr. Darcie, in which latter there were some pertinent allusions to the decadence of some of those tastes whi..•h characterised the age at which the legitimate drama flourished, was an nounce.' for repetition. Two humourous pieces followed, and the evening's entertainments concluded with a new ballet, entitled, The Arabian .Nights Entertainments, in which up wards of sixty coryphees were introduced. The whole per formances elicited considerable applause from a numerous audience. ST. JAMES'S ASSEMBLY ROOMS. FEMALE AMERICAN SERENADERS. These" dark ladies," whose performances at Liverpool and Manchester have created quite a furore in those towns, have at length ventured in the metropolis, and are now performing at the St. James's Assembly Rooms (late Crockford's), St. James's -street. There are seven of them. Their costume is that of Indian Princesses: and, like their brethren, they ac company their songs on the banjo, the bones, the tamborine, and the accordion, or rather the seraphine, over which the lady conductor of the concert presides and on which she performs most attistically. These ladies give several of the well known nigger songs with great spirit and correctness, but they also, adopting the custom of the West Indian negroes, give -- severe nigger songs (pi&Ts de circonstance) adapted to well known popular airs. This is a novelty and a distinguishing feature of this entertainment. As an instance, we may mention "Je In vitation to de Ball," which is sung by the whole company, and the air of which is that of the popular ballad, " Come, dwell with me." This air has been harmonised for seven female voices, and is exquisitely sung by these ladies. Nothing can exceed the pre-A,ion with which thevoices go together. it would be well that the chorus singers of (Jur theatre should t ake a lesson from the female American Serenaders. Their per formance is the very perfection of " part singing" and to all lovers of madrigals and glees, we can promise a rich treat. They succeed, we think better in serious then in comic songs, and as the gem of the performance, we would point out " The Phantom Canoe," this is we believe a new song. It was exquisitely sung by a lady, who calls herself Yarico, who possesses a rich and powerful contralto voice, which has been highly cultivated and is completely under command. Her execution of this song was perfect, and if .rEthiopia produces many such musicians as bli ss Y ar i co, the black opera will sure be a rival to the Italian. The room was crowded. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. The entries ror the first match of the season, on Tuesday, the II th of blay, closed at ten last night, at the Piazza Coflee house, Covent. garden, and are as follow : FIRST CLASS. Yachts. Tons.

The course selected for the contest is from Erith down to the Chapman head and back to Greenwich ; but it will be borne in mind, that should there not be sufficient wind to enable the y,.chts to get down to Chapman-head, the Commodore may in his discretion shorten the distance. The Meteor has been en gaged, and will convey the members of the club and friends to witness the match. DEATH or LORD LURCAAIL—The death of this nobleman was currently reported yesterday.
