BRISTOL LIBERAL ASSOCIATION A special general meeting of the susbcribers to the Liberal Registration Association was held last (Friday) night at the Tailors' Hall, Broad street, for the purpose of receiving a report on the Parliamentary register of this city, and considering the steps to be taken in anti cipation of the near approach of a general election. There was a highly-respectable attendance, and the chair was taken by G. Themes, Esq. The Chairman having briefly opened the proceedings, 'l'. )LULLS, Esq., read the following REPORT. " The committee of the Bristol Liberal Registration Association have taken upon themselves the responsibi lity of calling the present meeting, because, it. being generally understood that a few months will terminate the present Parliament, the time has arrived for the Liberal party in this city to enter on that calm delibe ration and friendly consultation as to the course to be pursued, which may best ensure united aetion a nd a successful result. 7 Before, however, enteritis , upon this duty, the cone mittee cannot but congratulate the Liberal party on the very favourable position it now occupies. Instead of having to struggle, as it were, ler existence, it now commands an undoubted and substantial majority on the register; and, what is yet far more satisfactory, the truth of the great principles for which it has so long con tended is now admitted by many of those formerly op posed to them.. The 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, riot only a faithful and able exponenteif their prin ciples, but has also proved himself one of the most at tentive, unwearied, and efficient tubers that ever sat for this city. Mr. Berkeley has en the representative of Liberal opinions; he has also n, int he , most em phatic sense of the words, metier.. o{ - l atf o4- " 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 hand. What course shall the Liberal party adopt? Your com mittee, whilst disclaiming the remotest intention of dic tating that course, hope that they possess so much of your confidence as may entitle them to offer you a few suggestions. e They presume that the general voice of the Liberals of Bristol will call on Mr. Bel keley again 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 for the ten years he has been in Parliament as its representative, 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 having asserted and main tained their right to a share in the representation of the city, your committee would suggest to you that, under present circumstances, it is not advisable to bring for ward a second candidate, unless unforese en 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 upon the re gister and afterwards defending his right to be there, every Liberal in the borough, without distinction is borne in mind ; when it is recollected how 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 ing your interests, and securing your being heard and li:tened 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 eum,tanees might vary. The most likely course to preserve the 1-eace of the city woilld 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 against the association, and which had accrued in consequet.ot of the close attention which had been paid to the registration, anti by means of which the Liberal party had been placed iu a position to which it had never before attained. Mr. VJsGER moved a resolution to the effect that a subscription, to clear off the debt, should he at once entered upon. Mr. Visger addressed the meeting in an eloquent strain in reference to the present proud position in which the Liberals s t oo d as a party, not only in this city, but throughout the kingdom; the means by which that position had been attained; and the course by which it was to be maintained and improved. As a party they stood higher th an ever —(llear)—they bad obtained a large majority on the register, and a moral position they had never before occupied; they had seen their principles carried out by those who had opposed them in their early struggles t o a d vance, and in this city they had seen the once dominant Tory party split up and divided. They (the Liberals) had no intention to cause a contest; but, as one might be forced upon them, it would be desirable that they should not entangle them selves in any struggle on the other side, but hold their second votes in their own hands.—(Cheers.) Their present position had been obtained by the unceasing attention which had been paid to the registration, espe cially by their respected Chairman and their active and zealous secretary, 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 present exalted position.—(Cheers.) 11. PRITCHARD, Esq., seconded the resolution, which was adopted neat. con. A subscription was then opened, and, in the course of a very few minutes, about 1501. was raised—a large pors tion of it by small sums. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, who, in returning thanks, expressed his confidence in the speedy quidatiun of the debt. The meeting then broke up. SUPPLY. Resolution reported, " That a sum not exceeding 100,0001. be granted to her Majesty, for Public Education in Great Britain, in the year 1847. " Motion made, and Question proposed, " That the said Resolution be now read a second time :"—Amendment pro paned,: to have out from the word " That" to the end of the Question, in order to add the words " any Minutes of the Committee of the Privy Council on Education, or other re gulations, which exclude Roman Catholics from participating in any grants of public money for purposes of Education, by requiring in all schools which receive such grants of public money the use of the authorised version of the Scriptures, are inexpedient, and ought to be rescinded" instead ►hereof : —Question put, " That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Question."

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. Bodel schwingh, who defend( d the letters patent of the 3d Feb., and by the language of the' Members of the Opposition. We see from the Colvne Gazette, that it was expected at Berlin. that the address would be voted by a great majority. The same journal affirms that M. Bodelsch wingh will shortly be appointed Chancellor of the king dom. This dignity has not been conferred on any Prus sian Minister since the death of M. Von Hadenburg. 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 HIGHL AND SCHOOL SOCIETY. The seventy-fourth anniversary festival of this society was held on Saturday night, in the Freemason's Hall, Great Queen-street. His Royal highness the Duke of Cambridge, l'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- greys 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, "'lhe Queen," "The Queen Dowager," "The Duchess of Kent," " Prince Albert, the patron of the Society and Chief of the Highlands," " The Prince of %Vales 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 Array and Navy," &c. &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 districts connexion h t with v i t a n h c a e d i t b s e i e n n t e f r o e r s m t s e , d a i n n d l7 i n 7 3 1, of the Highlands of S c otl an d. Th e L on d on _ b oar d i n had d 82 v‘ 9 'hic it h received the countenance and support of his late lamented brother George the Fourth, as a society well entitled to public confidence ar.d 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 tho 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 hoped, therefore, the appeal of the directors would be attended with success ; and he would now conclude by 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 read. The Queen. 501., in additien to 4501. 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, 101., 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 Buccleucb, 501., in addition to 6201. before ; B. B. Cabbell, Esq., M.P., 20/., in addition to 126/. before ; the Countess of Dunmore, one guinea ; Lord Saltoun, 5 guineas, Mr. Ewart, Esq., M.P., 5 guineas, &c. These, in addition to several smaller sums, made upwards of 300/. Mr. B. B CAnsum. then, in a highly eulogistic speech, proposed the health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, in the course of which he pointed out the benefits which had been conferred on the Society by several members of the 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 he 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 were responded to in eloquent and 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.

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 .New 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, brit.ging 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 reiolution against Gomez Farias was making headway, and it is thought he will be put down. The coalition new is between Santa Anna and the clergy. _ R was also reported that the priests have sent him two hundred thousand dollars, as an earnest of their deter mination to support him. I FURTHER PARTICULARS FROM VERA CRUZ. Sun-office, New York, April 6, 11 o'clock A.M. 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, Patriot, Courier, and .News, to gether with New Orleans papers to the 30th ult. We copy the following interesting particulars:— (Correspondence of the Picayune.) 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 saud 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 bad 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 c.

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.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—The morning perform ance, next Thursday, for the purpose of affording the younger branches of families the opportunity of witnessing The Desert, with its oriental grandeur, and illustrated by the mammoth establishment of Mr. Hughes, including the two elephants, twelve camels, and a troop of horses, is exciting great inter est, which has been materially increased by the communica tion that this unprecedented representation will be attended by the Royal Family. The second act of The Bohemian Girl will precede the spectacle; and it has been so arranged that the entire entertainment, beginning at two o'clock, will ter• minate at half-past four.

The Thunderbolt has been ascertained to be irreparably injured, and was to be aban doned. A most barbarous outrage was perpetrated on Wednesday se'nnight, at Trebersea, near Carmarthen. Two rivals for (he favours of a servant at that farm engaged in a contest which terminated in one of them receiving seven or eight wounds in various parts of his body, by which his nose and under lip were nearly severed. from his face ; and a severe stab in the side perforated the right lung, so that in breathing the air passed through the oritiCe. The weapon used by his antagonist was a clasp knife. The uninjured Duty has been taken into custod s y.t-Tenby Chronicle. Bell Life in London, of May 2, will have the fullest and most correct particulars of Chester Races. " Life" will contain, on Sunday, May 9, a perfect chart of the different race courses on Newmarket-heath, showing dis tinctly the positions and lengths of each, their rises and falls, snrveved with great care by Mr. J. F. Clarke, of Newmar ket. The want of such a guide, with comprehensive expla nations, has long been wanting; and, as it will be a source of continual reference, we would recommend those who desire to possess it to order extra papers. - Mr. Clement, jun., No. 170, Strand, will insure a copy of Bell's Life at any time by return of post to any part of Eng land, Scotland, or Ireland. The Newmarket, Epsom, and Bath Spring Meetings, with the French Steeple Chases, were given in .1311's Life in Londou, of April 18, to the extent of seven folio columns. Ma. O'COWNall..—The Debuts says—" On the 22d of April, at eleven in the morning, Mr. O'Connell and his suite, consisting of his son Daniel O'Connell, his chaplain, his physician, and one servant, embarked at Lyons on board the steamer which runs from that city to Valence. 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 !' said we, is this the man who filled the world with his name, and made England tremble?' (!) Life seems to have flown from the Liberator's countenance. lie 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. Bonnet and Viricel, who have attended O'Connell during his stay here, have recommended that he be accompanied by a physician from Lyons, and Dr. Lacour has b een selected. Thus it is to a Lyons physician that the precious life is intrusted for the future." DEATH OF MR.

Polasmourn.—The Herefordshire troop-ship arrived here last night Ivith her Majesty's 89th Regiment of Foot on board,-from Halifax, Nova Scotia. They disembarked this day (Tuesday). • . COAST OF AFRICA. Advices to the 16th ult. have come to hand by her Ma )esty's sloop of war Star, arrived at Portsmouth. She has brought no invalids. The squadron employed under Com modore Horton in looking out for slave's 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 were brought to trial at Exeter, conv icted 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 set at large to commit further atrocities. DEATH OF SIR DAVIDGE GOULD. n G .C.8., _ SENIOR ADMIRAL OF THE RED. It is with great regret that we have t o an n ounce the death of the senior admiral of the red, S ir a Gould. G.C. 8., Vice-Admiral of the United Kingdom. This gallant and venerable o ffi cer. who has long been in a declining state, and for the last six months confined to his room, sank at last, full of years and of honours, into the long, quiet, calm sleep . ' of death, without a struggle and witho u t pain, at his seat in Herts, on the evening of Friday, th e 23d - instant. He was in his 90 th year, upwards of ;0 year s o f which had been spent in the service of his country. This distinguished officer served under, and was the friend and messmste of Nelson, Rodney, Hood, Hotham, Hyde 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 pot 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. The gallant Admiral was not only " the last of the Nile," but the l as t ma l e descendant of the ancient and honourable knightly Somersetshire family of Gould, of Slim?' ham Park. Besides enumerating among its members t_sp ' distinguished judges, and other persons of eminence , , _t_ie mother of the celebrated author of " Toni Jones" was kizr`. d'ilialtel of Sir iiew7 Gould, of Shapua Park, 4 0 0 l'Po author was born, in 1707. She was the w:re ot General Fielding, nephew of William, third Earl of Denbigh.. Sir David had no steain promotion in his time. Bis com mission as a lieutenant is dated 7th May, 1779; Com mender, June, 1782; Captain, Alarch, 1789, and Rear-Admiral, Oct., 1807. He became Nice-Admiral, July, 1810, and Admiral, May, 1825. He became senior Admiral of the Red at the promotion in November last. As a midshipman he served in the Phoenix, in the first American war, and as a lieu tenant served in the Conqueror in Rodney's action in April, 1782. As captain he commanded the Bedford in Hotham's action oft Genoa, in March, 1795, and in Frejus Bay in July of that year. At the Nile he commanded the Audacious, and also at the blockade of Malta, and subsequently had the proud satisfaction of commanding the Genereux, which ship, when a French vessel sneaked away from the Nile, and was recaptured some time after she and her cowardly consort had pounced upon the Leander. The deceased Admiral married Harriet, eldest daughter of the late Archdeacon Willes, Bun of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, and nephew of the Lord Chief Justice Sir John Willes, but by whom he leaves no issue. Her ladyship sur vives him. By the decease of Sir Davidge Goult', the following flag promotions will take place:— Admiral the Hon. Sir Robert Stopford, Bart., G.C.R. S.C.M.G., Rear Admiral of the United Kingdom, and Gover nor of Greenwich Hospital, becomes Vice-Admiral of the United Kingdom, and senior admiral of the red. Admiral of the White, Thames Le Merchant Gosselin becomes admiral of the red ; Admiral of the Blue, John Cachet, becomes ad miral of the white. Vice-Admiral of the Red, Hugh Doownman, becomes ad miral of the blue, leaving the Hon. Sir Thomas Bladen Capel, K.C.8., senior vice-admiral. Vice-Admiral o f t h e %White Henry Hill becomes vice-admiral of the red ; and Vice-Admiral of the Blue, John. Dick, will be vice -admiral of the white. _ _ _ Rear-Admiral of the Red, Charles Bayne - Hodgson Ross, C. 8., becomes vice-admiral of the blue ; leaving Sir Charles Malcolm, lint., senior rear-admiral. ear-Admiral of the White, llanway Christian, will be rear-admiral of the red, and Rear-Admiral of the Blue, Hyde Parker, C. 8., Superin tendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, will become rear-admiral of the white. _ The flag-officers having been thus reduced to 149, the first promotions from the captains' list will take place. Captain Henry Prescott, C.B. (1810), the senior, will be promoted to the rank of rear-admiral, thereby giving up a captain's good service pension, also to the patronage of Lord Auckland. Sir Nesbit.Josiah Willou g hby, K.C.8., K.C.H., then becopaestha senior on the captain's list. • PRINCESS'S THEATRE. 'd Mrs. Butler (late Miss Fanny Kernble) made her- first appearance on the stage since her retirement, at this theatre last evening. The part chosen for her deblit was that of Julia, in the Hunchback, a character which she herself had created originally, and in which the majority of her suc cessors have taken 1 - 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 eiectrical effect as ever. She was called for at the conclusion, and received with cheers, which lasted 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 Mahn was exceedingly quaint. The house was very well attended. NEW STRAND THEATRE. 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-Mode—with which every connoiseur is familiar. The story, as represented by Hogarth is simply that of a young female who is forced by her father, a wealthy and an ambitious cit, to marry a profligate nobleman, notwithstanding her attachment to a young barrister.. After some severe struggles between lova and duty, the heroine yields to the influence of the former, which leads to a chapter of 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 a s Normenfleld, gave , 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 13y 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 which characterised the, age at which the legitimate drama flourished, was an nounced 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 csryph6es 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 fur ore 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 pertorms most artistically. These ladies give several of the welt known nigger songs with great spirit and correctness, but they alto, adopting the custom of the West Indian Degrees, give several nigger songs (pii•ccs de circonstancc) adapted to well known popular airs. This is a novelty and a distinguishing feature ot this lintertainfuent. As an instance, we may' mention "De In vitation to de Ball," which is sung by the whole company, and tLe air ot which is that of the popular ballad, " Come, dwell with me." This air has been harmonised for seven female voices, nod is ex quisi: oly sung by these ladies. Nothing can exceed the preA,ion with which tlie voices go together. it a ould be well that the chorus singers of our theatre should take a lesson troth the female American Serenaders. Their per formance is the very perfection cf " 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 !Ethiopia produces many such musicians as Miss Yarico, the black opera will sure be a rival to the Italian. The room was crowded. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. The entries for the first match of the season, on Tuesday, the II th of May, closed at ten last night, at the Piazza Coflee house, Covent- garden, and are as follow : FIRST CLASS. Yachts. Tons. Owners. Belvidere 25 Right Hon. Lord A. Paget. leo .... 25 H. Gibson, Esq. Prima Donna Secret Fawn 25 J. F. Selby, Esq. SECOND CLASS. Ranger .. 12 E. W. Roberts, Esq. Whisper The contest will be for three very handsome pieces of plate, two being for the first and second boats, and the re maining one for the winner of the second class. The course selected fur the contest is from Erith down to the Chapman lived and back to Greenwich ; but it will be borne in mind, that should there not be sufficient wind to enable the yachts 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 LURGAN.—She death of this nobleman was currently reported yesterday.

Mr. Clarkson then brought forward a new case against West. It was that he had uttered 100 forged shares of the London and South-Western Railway Company to Messrs. Berkeley and Co., sharebrokers. Evidence similar to that adduced in the other case was called, and distinctly showed that West had issued the forged scrip, and obtained the market price of the real scrip for them. The Lord Mayor refused to take bail.
