The attention of Holders of Policies in the Equitable Assurance Company of London, is particularly called to the Half-Credit Scales of Premium of this Company, by which table the berms to be de dared at the next investigation of the Equitable Assurance CoMpany's affairs, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present annual payment of one half the rates generally charged by other companies. In the event of death the sum insured will be paid, after deduction of the other half of the rates. Should the life insured survive the decla ration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may be due thereon ; or, in the event of the party being at that time in bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium of the age as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with this Company, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last division of profits in the Equitable Assurance Company in 1840, when it was largely adopted, and many of the policies then effected are still in force, and large bonuses have been added to them on the scale of the following table : Sum Assured.

I procured the best advice possible, but without deriving benefit ; and the doctors recommended me to go to the Stamford Infirmary, where I continued twelve weeks, and left it without obtaining any benefit, and all hope of relief had vanished. " This hopeless state of things continued until a friend advised rno to try Blair's Pills. I then lost no time in sending to Mr. biOrtlOck, of Stamford, for a box, and by the time I had taken that quantity I got rid of one crutch. I then sent for another boy, which enabled me to throw away the other, and, thank tiod,i have never since had such an attack. • " I am m uc h exposed to cold . hut, wh'never I feel attack, I have re c o urse t o the Pills with universal success, "I recomm en d e d the to a gentlentaid who real hi this .

By her will a very larga benefit was given to Major Waring, who was not a re lation of the deceased ; but she became acquainted with him and other members of his family in consequence of reading in the newspapers that his father had presided over a Bruns wick meeting held in Ireland. It appeared that there had only been one personal interview between the deceased and Major Waring, when he spent three days by her invitation at her house at Weybridge, Surrey. The will was opposed by Mr. Thomas Waring, the brother of the deceased, and several of her next of kin, on the ground that Mrs. Gibson was of unsound mind at the time she executed it in 1834, and had been so for several years prior to that date. A commission of lunacy was executed in 1841, and the jury found that she had been insane from September, 1838, not therefore including the period during which the will was written. A codicil also was propounded, but it was without date. It must, however, have been written be tween 1836 and 1842, but was unexecuted. Probate of this likewise was opposed. It merely gave a legacy of 5001. to a godson, who had since died. The Learned Judge examined with great minuteness the evidence adduced, both oral and documentary, with the view of showing that the deceased laboured under insane delusions on a variety of points, more especially- with reference to parties assuming disguise. It was, he said, impossible to read that evidence without coming to the conclusion that the delusions were of a permanent character. It had been said that they had no bearing on the testamentary disposition, but in that view he could not co incide. One of these delusions was, that Mr. Thomas Waring, her brother, had become a Roman Catholic, and that might have influenced the bequest that she had formerly made to him. Complaints had been made in the course of the argu ment that a knowledge of the existence of the will had been withheld for a considerable period of time from Major War ing, but he (the Learned Judge) considered them groundless. It had also been urged that in the first instance insanity was not set up. The will had not been duly executed, and no thing could be more natural than that in order to avoid ex peyse, delay, and littion,' ie.slioold be opposed as invalid, by'reaion of want oreiecution. But the intention to object to it on the ground of insanity had been communicated to the solicitor of Major Waring at an early period of the pro ceedings. Several parties had been examined, who deposed, and he doubted not sincerely, to the deceased always being in a rational state of mind. Their interviews with her, how ever, were unfrequent and of short duration, nor did it appear that they were aware of any of the delusions under which she laboured. Several fetters of the deceased had been pro duced, which were admirably written, and in which she had expressed herself at the commencement with great pro priety, but towards their close her delusions manifested themselves. He could not say that this was a rational act rationally done ; and upon a review of the whole of the cir cumstances he felt bound to pronounce against the will and codicil. Major Waring, however, who had been appointed an executor under the will, could not do otherwise than pro pound it, and as such the costs of all parties must be decreed out of the estate. THE WEST INDIA. MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY.—The Royal mail steam packet Thames, Lieut. Philip Hast, I N., commander, and Lieutenant I. J.

The Thames spoke the following vessels:— 751. value of British coin 769 ounces of silver 107 bales of sarsaparilla 50 packages. The Matthew Pearce, April 1, going into St. Thomas's; the Robert Kerr, April 5, in lat. 25 deg. 30 min. N., long. 56 W. ; the Marion, April 5, in lat. 25 deg. 50 min. N., long. 55 W., bound to Baltimore ; the John Line, April 16, in lat. 45 deg. N., long. 15 deg. 50 min. W., from Trinidad, bound to London, all well, 34 days out ; the Peruvian, April 17, in lat. 47 deg. N., long. 10 deg. 40 min. W. The Thames experienced generally favourable weather. She gives the following report of her Majesty's and the Company's ships when leaving the West Indies: — The Clyde left Jamaica for the Spanish Main the 19th of March. The I)ee left Grenada for Jamaica the 26th of March. The Tay left Jamaica for St. Thomas and Bermuda the 11th of March. The Eagle loft St. Thomas for Porto Rico the 31st of March. The Thames left at Port Royal the Vindictive, 50, Vice-Admiral Sir F. W. Austen, K.C.B. ' Captain M. Seymour; the Imaum, 72, Commodore Cr. R. Lam bert; the Endymion, 44, Captain G. W. Courtney; the Thunderer, 6, surveying, Captain Edward Barnett; the Electra, Commander Sir W. Wiseman. The Alarm, 26, Captain Grenville G. Loch, left Port Royal the 24th of March for Vera Cruz; also previously sailed her Majesty's steamer Vesuvius, Comthander G. Austen, for the Gulf of Mexico, to relieve the Hermes steamer, Commander W. Carr, the latter ves sel's term of service having expired, being four years in commission. The Vindictive is to leave Port Royal for Bermuda about the 3d of April; the Endymion, for Barbadoes ; the Electra, for Nassau ; and the Thunderer for the Campeachy-bank, surveying. The brig Persian at Bar badoes March 24; the schooner Viper at Tobago; and the Pickle at Bermuda. The late colonial measures of her Majesty's Govern ment appear to have given general satisfaction through out the West Indies, and the prevailing opinion is that they may now avoid the ruin which has so long threatened the British colonists; they hail the admission of sugar for use in the breweries and distilleries, and that of rum to use in Ireland and Scotland as highly beneficial. The season for taking off the crops had far advanced, and the crops throughout the British West Indies will be larger than they have been since the emancipation; the whole may be estimated at 150,000 tons, and there will be a great want of shipping to bring it to the market. General attention appeared to be directed to the necessity of sugar factories in all our colonies, which, if carried to any extent, it is supposed that the crops of sugar will be greatly increased. The Hayden republic enjoyed profound tranquillity. The election of President Soulogne appeared to have given general satisfaction, particularly as he had retained the popular and able Ministry selected by his predeces sor. The Haytian Chambers met on the 11th of March, and concurred in the determination expressed by the Government to use their utmost exertions to fulfil their engagements to France. The Thames has brought to England from Fayal the crew of the ship Charles, of Stornaway, from Moulmein, abandoned as waterlogged on the 19th of March, taken on board the English barque Auricula, from Val paraiso to Swansea, and landed at Fayal. By the arrival of the Thames we have our usual files of papers, and have selected a few articles of general interest. In Jamaica the House of Assembly had decided in favour of the Income-tax Bill. There were 16 votes for it, and the same number against it; the Speaker gave his casting vote in its favour, and it was ordered to be com mitted accordingly. Subscriptions had been entered into and sermons preached in almost every one of the islands in aid of the destitute in Ireland and Scotland, and large sums voted for their relief. 3,800 dollars were subscribed in Trini dad, and 500 dollars by the Governor, to be sent home by the Thames ; and a larger amount is promised by the next ship. A public meeting of the inhabitants of St. Lucia had taken place, and unanimous resolutions passed in favour of a representative form of Government, and a standing committee formed to forward a petition to the Queen, and press for this project. The Trinidad Standard says, we have this month (March) been favoured with most propitious weather • for agricultural purposes. The sugar and cocoa planters have been well employed, and the crops have proved thus far encouraging. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.) Unless Specifically stated to the contrary, long or duty-paid prices ace always given, and are to be considered as whole sale prices. Our market h 35 been very quiet in consequence of the paucity of arrivals, And the disinclination of the trade to come forward whilst rizteg rule as high as they do at present. Th e operations, therefore? have been very limited, whilst stocks are generally only average. We aro looking for fur ther supplies, the more anxiously as the quantity of our native ground provisions is evidently decreasing. Should the supplies which it is presumed must be now on their way hither be larger than the demand for consumption prices must inevitably fall; at least some very great reductions must be made to induce the trade to operate with any de gree of freedom.

The Deed of Settlement of this Company having been approved by the Registrar, and the number of Shares prescribed by the Act having been subscribed for, the Directors will proceed upon the Ist of May next, ensuing, to issue Sea Policies under their Common Seal. For the effectual protectieti of both shanitelders and the assured, the constitution of this Company is based on the principle of limit ing the amount entertained in and upon individual vessels, or their cargoes, in rateable proportion to the capital subscribed, and remain ing clear in hand according to a graduated scale, constructed with the greatest care, thereby securing a wide and equalised distribution of outstamling risks% to the entire exclusion of gambling pro4ts, and ruinous losses, from both sides of the account. Under special clauses inserted in the Deed, no single Insurance, for the space of twelve months, from the date of issuing the first Policy, will exceed 5001. For the space of three years from the same date the limit has been fixed at 1,0001. ; and for the space of seven years at 1,5001.,—a method of proceeding obviously calculated to ensure a steady and remunerative business, and avoid the disastrous results incidental to an opposite system. A list of the Board of Directors, of the officers of the Company, and of the Agents appointed for the outports, will be given in the Prospectuses, which will be published after the complete re 6 istration of the Company has been legally effected.

Mr. Pashley and Mr. Henniker conducted the case for the °taint iff, and Mr. Hurafrey with Mr. Lush appeared for the defendant. Mr. PASIILTY, in stating the case, said that the action was brought against the defendant in his character of director of the Parcel Post Company, for the recovery of 571. 10s. the value of hay, clover, and straw which had been supplied by the plaintiff for the use of the company between the 7th of January and the 4th of February in the previous year. The defendant, Mr. George Price Hill, was an attorney, :having a house in Soho-square, and a country house at New Hamp stead, and had become during the past autumn a director of this company. The prospectus put forth a most flourishing description of the-.prospects—the certainties he might call them—of the profitable results that must arise from its estab lishment and operation. Amongst other advantages it pro mised was, first, the payment of 5 per cent. upon the depo sits, which was to be paid half- - yearly, and then-that benefit was followed up by the promised positive anticipation of dividing 25 per cent. per annum in the shape of profit. The company appeared to have had a board of "directors, a secretary, and a superintendent, besides other officers. A number of horses about 60, were , purchased, and stabl es were secured at Islington, in the neighbourhood of Fleet street, and near the ElephauLssalad Castle. Well, these horses must be fed, and, accordiegly, they having been bought on the 6th of January, on the succeeding day the superintendent, Mr. Smythe, bought a eleantity of hay, clover, and straw of the plaintiff, at.tlse time of the purchase showing the prospectus to the latter. accompanied with the statement that those (the directors) were responsible men, and for them he was making the purchase. On the following day the plaintiff went to the office and saw the parties, with whom he made an arrangement to furnish the hay, clover, and straw, and to be paid his account for the one month on the Ist of the next. Accordingly, he sent in these articles until they amounted to 571. 10s., and then, not obtaining payment on the Ist of March as agreed upon, Ise commenced the present action. But, observed tbs.' Learned Counsel, he should not merely prove that the defendant had been pre sent at the meetings of the board, bistthat he • had written a letter begging to be put, upon tbe a horse committee," and that he had likewise been a member of *sat termed the " executive committee." Moreover, of such importance had the defendant been in the coticern,that he had actually ob tained permission from his brethren, when it might occur r b e o s a ee rd t h h i i m m - . self, he h u e la w t h as is u h n re ab il l i e er to ,eh g e o ul t d o t a ha tto m tt eet fo i r ng: m o d f t i h e e p Then, it had not been an uncommon circumstance for him to carriage up erees horses e lo n g a n t g t h o e fir e I e 0 , m a p a a d e y t o . u If he h in e p t p h r u e e t l i h a his c e s e o e w t t n h h the horses he felt that 119 must at once carry a verdict for the plaintiff. `Sr. E. T. Gough was the first 'witness. He said—l was the secretary to the Parcel Post Company, and the resident manager. The office was 67, Fleet-street. It was conducted by a board of directors, of whom the defendant was one. The others were the Hon. A. F. Nerkeley, Mr. Ashley, Mr. Owen, Mr. Ancrum, and Mr. Parry. All of these gentlemen were in the habit of attending the meetings, though Mr. Berkeley and the defendant were sotuetimes represented by their brothers, wile acted for them. Tl defendant attended himself on several occasions. The Oonipany Was formed in last October, and the meetings wee , -held constantly from that time to 'Tannery or February. Vreilglt ed my office on the Ist of February, a n d s oo n a ltar 'the company was a bandoned or given up. Th e o bj ec t of the Company was part, to convey parcels from one pa of the town to another , or within .five miles. Th e o nsto' was to have been 30,0001., divided into 6,000 s sharet, of 61. each. Mr. Smythe was appointed the supprintOndent, and his 'duty was' to purchase the horeess Ass, povide the food, and what was requisite for them, and, in fact,' le attend to that e o n tf e r oers e te d h pc i n uo mr department. The original, re s ol u ti on o f his a ppointment and his duties was written by the 'ehairman and banded to p t o e s,e defendant's iis, whether he t h b e r r o brother , was, ttbgietisg maken. The original book I gave at his request to Mr. Arthur Hill, to n o e ,p3r for r e u t c w h e aet,h,3e,,tb purposeoookri, ex p res sed a wish to look at it. Mr. PASRLNY—We 'Ave served the defendant with notice Mr. Baron ALDERIQN-- h meeting when Smythe minute-book. Cross -examined—l was in ,the office from the commence ment to the Ist of February, and then I resigned because I d w ef hn e T n h d i : e n n , t the wa sue a s t ti t en e for you now to found I was left by the directors, and seeing the necessary result—namely, that as they had not left any money to pay the wages of the different then, I might get into a difficulty —I resigned to protect myself. The number of shares actually paid upon was about 400 out or the 6,000. There Laughter.) were applications for as many as 43,000, but only 4 00 were paid upon. proAllirts.,B4aoroontoA43l.:7o.z—That is I suppose the estimated difference of value as between possession of and anticipated Cross-examination resumed—The directors were to pay a deposit of 7s. per s h are , whilst the public were to p a y 21.105. per share. There were store, however (as t h e re porter un derstood), who were t o pay a deposit of 11. Mr. - Baron ALDERSON—Why should the directors pay less than the public? That fact shows, however, that they knew better the worth of the concern. Was that the reason?—The witness did not know. Mr. Baron ALDEasosr--,They did not tell the unhappy public, I dare say, that the directors were only to pay 73.„ whilst they were to pay 21. 10s. deposit, did they? Witness — I presume not. There were ten directors, but they did not all take their shares. The defendant attended the meeting on the 21st of October, and several other times, the last time in February. The executive committee, of which the de fendant was a member, met every day. Parry, Owen, Ashley, Ancrum, directors, always attended, and so did the superin tendent. There was an instruction given to the superinten horses, by the board on a Friday in January. I heard the order given to the superintendent, in consequence of that person having reported that the party to whom he had ap. dent to buy corn, hay, straw, &c., that was necessary for the plied for a supply of those articles had come to the office to ascertain if he was authorised to make the purchases. The board directed the superintendent to refer the party to me, and told me to state to him that he was fully authorised by the directors. I cannot swear that the defendant was pre sent at that particular meeting, but there were seven out of satha t t as-corn was then the ten direciors there. Re- exam ined—The :defendant in a conversation with me d h efe s n e d s a vr nt oul d d esi b r e ed ga m tn e ed to hy di usZ t g a I t a h c e e. s u p T e h r e . horses was aware tbat greavetrYecodtim, y h . in i .Til d fe t ed he soufptire beeaLstenitnionitsofp intendent to the subject. This occurred when we were talk ing about the weekly expense per horse of their mainte nance. At that time we had thirty-seven horses, and I have not the least doubt that he was fully aware of the fact, although I cannot undertake to swear that he was. I n our keep calculation we put down the expense of the of each horse at 1/. per Week. A letter was then put in, and read, from the defendant to the witness, dated December 22, 1846, asking him to sugges t the benefit that would arise to the com pany by his (defen dant) being put on the " Horse Committee." ' Richard H. Smythe (the superintendent) said, that he had received instructions fiom the board of directors to purchase provender for the horses , a nd to sell and bu y horses. The defendant perfectly well knew what his duty was. He had frequently seen that gentleman at his own private office, at the office of the company, and at the stables of the , and bad frequent conversations with him about the hor ses and the n et t re of their provender. The truth was, that the defendant had knO'n what be was doing all along as he had himself. The letter which had just been read the defendant had shown to him prior to his sending it, at his own office in Soho-square. On the 6th of January he had bought the horses, and on the next day he bought two half -loads of clover aad hay of the plaintiff, and at the same time handed him the prospectus, pointing out the names of the responsible parties--namely, the directors, who would be answerable for any orders he might give. On the following day the plaintiff called at the office, and arranged the terms on which he was to supply the provender, and when he was to be paid. The agreement was that he was to be paid cash the first of each month. The defendant would often come to the stables and take one of the horses for his own use. That, however, was prior to the company getting into work. Cross-examined —He could not swear that the defendant had given him any positive directions to make these pur chases, but he must have been present at we of the meet , ings I beeides, he had had long conversations I.h him at his I office, when .'"' had advised that he should use beans instead rnished mo . him with on to buy (if corn.

A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls, a gentleman residing at Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from Barlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill ness of several months' duration, during which period his hair con tinued to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly bald as if his head had been shaved;" and the Rev. d. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSA tt OIL, and it is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was used the growth recommenced, and he has now to boast of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to - losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger. 11.aa Beware of " Spurious Imitations !—The genuine article has the words " ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL " on the wrapper.

The Wellesley has arrived from the Cape of Good Hope, bringing home the late Governor, Sir P. Mait land. The papers from the Cape reach to the 20th February, which confirm the loss of her Majesty's steamer Thunderbolt. Happily, no life was lost. We annex some particulars. As it regards the Kafir war, we regret to say that it is not yet at an end, and fears, are entertained by those likely to be well in formed, that some time must elapse before the enemy will be completely conquered. (From the Eastern Province Herald, Cape Town, of Feb. 6.) Ifer Majesty's steamer Thunderbolt, in doubling Cape Receif on Wednesday last, about six P.M., struck on one of the blind rocks which lie out from that point, and so far in jured herself as to render it necessary for the commander to run her on shore as soon as he was able to bring the anchor age. We have tried to ascertain all the particulars of this heavy accident from the proper parties, but have only been able to obtain a very meagre account. The vessel, it would seem, was steering about east at the time when she struck nearly midships, not on the keel, but on the lower part of the hold, immediately before the paddles. The shock was very great, causing the vessel to lurch over to the other side, in which position she continued until she had completely cleared the rock. When she again reached the deep water, it was found that a very heavy leak had been caused, and that, although her pumps, which are of very great power, were immediately worked, it was impossible to keep the leakage under. Guns of distress were therefore fired during the whole time that the vessel took from Cape Receif to the anchorage; yet when she was run ashore it was found that the leakage had gained about five feet on the pumps, and that the steamer itself was rapidly sinking. The water indeed had risen so high as to extinguish one of the furnaces, so that had she had any great distance farther to proceed, she must have been inevitably lust. She now lies nearly opposite Baken's River, in a situa tion from which it is very doubtful whether she will ever, as a vessel, be removed. Every activity has been exerted to land the cargo and to remove every heavy body on board, by which she may be lightened. New pumps have been con structed on shore, and every arrangement made by which a last effort may be made to restore so noble a steamer to the service, but success is very doubtful. It is generally feared that we shall have to record her loss. (From the Cape of Good Hope Shipping and Mercantile Gazette of Feb. 19.) We regret to state that her Majesty's steamer Thunder bolt has become a total wreck, and that there are little hopes of getting her off. Thls vessel is so associated with the philanthropic efforts of the British Government in en deavouring to suppress the slave trade, and has rescued so many of our fellow-creatures from a state of bondage more fearful than death itself, that we cannot restrain the feelings of regret with which we record her untimely end. May Great Britain yet have many of her splendid fleet to devote to this noble work. Since the foregoing was in type, we are glad to find that '.here is a chance of the preservation of this noble vessel. . . The Eastern Province Herald of the 13th inst., received by yesterday's mail, contains the following : " During the past week everything has been done that could be done towards the removal of the Thunderbolt from her present stranded position, but without success. Pumps of sufficient power to reduce the water in her hold have now been constructed, and are at present being worked by such a body of men from her own crew, her Majesty's 90th Foot, and the Swellondam levies, as that hopes are entertained that it will be possible to reach the leak from the inside, but it is then feared by many that success is as far beyond reach as ever. The stopping of such a leak as that which has been caused in the Thunderbolt from the inside, we believe, has not often been accomplished. Still it may be so far practicable in the present case that the vessel may be put into such a state of tightness as to render it safe to take her round to Simon's Bay, where she could be thoroughly repaired. It has been pretty accurately ascer tained where the leak is ; the power of the pumps now at work over the IGak is such, that it may in no very consider able length of time be reduced ; and therefore it will now speedily be determined whether she is to be given up entirely as lost, or again to be restored to navy service. In the evont of her being given up, the loss will be complete, si nce it would be impossible for parties here to remove her boilers and engines at any reasonable rate." MONET MABIEET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 14 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.50 • and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.60, it follows that gold is 0.39 per cent, dearer in London than in Paris. By the last advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4314 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31.175. 10i d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.81; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.7, it follows that gold is 0.58 per cent. clearer in Hamburgh than in London. The course of ex change at New York on London is 1044 per cent. ; and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 5.08 per cent. against England But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. The last quotation at St. Peters burgh of the exchange on London was 38id. per silver rouble, at three months' date. According to the usual calculation that 100 sovereigns will yield 60 59-100 go . ld . imperials at St. Petersburgh, the transmission of go ld would give an exchange of 38 45-100 d. per si b lv e e a r and the gross profit on the operation would de ductedhout 1~ the loss of interest and charges per cent., from which, however, would have to OF A BAD [ADVERTISZMENT.]—ANOTHER C "Extract of a letter LBO BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTSIS •o f transport.

Without attempting to decide the question, there can be no doubt that when the Physical condition is impaired it demands the first attention. For instance; a person whilst suffering from an acute attack of Gout would be unable to appreciate the sublimest lessons of philosophy, even though enunciated by the divine Plato. How much more welcome to the sufferer would be a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, so efficacious in eradicating this distressing malady.

In consequence of the illness of Madame Castellan, the opera of Ernani was not performed here last even ing. Instead, we had the last two'acts ofill Due FoscFrs, in which the superb acting of Coletti produced . an im mense effect, and the first act of La Favor i ta, with Gardoni. Between the operas a new divertissement was introduced, for the rent:* of Perrot, and never have we seen Perrot to greater advantage. Completely recovered from the effects of his accident. he was the Perrot of former times, and quite electrified the house by his astounding tours de force in his pas de deux with Caro lina Rosati. Mdlle. Rosati has added immensely to her fame by her execution of this exquisite pas de deux. One of her pas, performed entirely on one foot, was a wonder of choero g raphi c art . I n i t grace and power were united, and at its conclusion the applause was rapturous, and she was twice called for. Then came Perrot again, and then Carolina Rosati in another pas of twinkling steps, which were given so rapidly that the eye could scarcely follow them. This pas surpassed anything that Fanny Elssler has ever danced. The Elssler of twenty years since could not have equalled it. The applause was again most enthusiastic, and at the conclusion of the divertissement Perrot and Rosati were called for, and bouquets • were showered upon the stage. The graceful little Taglioni also gave her elegant dance, " the Posnonaise," which was, of course, encored. The ballet of Thea, in which the pas of Ro sati was, of course, honoared with a double encore, concluded the evening's entertainments. The house was crowded in every part. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT GARDEN. La Sonnambula was performed here last evening, with the following cast:— Amina v Madame Persiani, Lisa Mdlle Corbari. Elvino Rodolpho .. Signor Tamburini. Madame Persiani was in beautiful voice, and sung the music of Amina as exquisitely as ever we have heard her. Nothing could exceed the brilliancy of her execution throughout, and the finale, "Aid non giunge," was a perfect marvel of fioriture. In the case of a less tasteful singer, we should have said that the music was rather overloaded with ornament ; but we cannot say this with Madame Persiani, for the ornaments were in troduced with such taste, and she exhibited such a perfect mastery over her flute-like and flexible voice, that no ono who heard her sing last night (albeit, like ourselves, they might retain a vivid recollection of poor Malibran in the part) would wish her to sing it otherwise than she did sing it. The habaul. .1' the opera are familiar with the Elvino of Mario. He gave IL I.ot night according to his wont, singing the music deliciously, but, buutowhat wanting in, intensity as an actor. The "Pam it guado" was, how ever, an exception ; it was not only exquisitely sung, but feelingly acted, and consequently was honoured with an encore. The "Ak I tuo perohe" which immedi ately follows, was also well given. Tamburini, in Rodolpho, although very fine, was not the Tamburini of four years since. It is painfully manifest that his voice is failing, both in its upper and' its lower notes. Still the Vi Raviso was beautifully neverpassfast evening' The given, and it was impossible not to admire the artiste like science with which he endeavoured to remedy the physical defects of his voice. It more than ever entitles him to rank as the Rubini of baritones. The opera was followed by a new ballet, entitled La Reine des Fier, in which Mdlle. Adele Dumilatre and M. Petipa . appeay a for the first time at this theatre. Adle astonishes, a s s ho always y pleasing e pleases ; a n a s n e d u e i f. is at b least a Grace, and very, graceful v a s e Odalisques. The descent of the Fairy Queen men on La n S o he h and her Court was a novel and beautiful effect, which ballet itself, albeit somewhat heavy, is agreat . improve was much applauded. The house was crowded. H ER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—There were present yesterday evening at her Majesty's Theatre, the Earl and Countess of Desert, Mr. George Edward, and the Hon.
