Preparatory to a general election there is naturally much uncertainty in every constituency 'of the United Kingdoms as to the individuals about to be selected as representatives to Parliament. This uncertainty is the inevitable consequence of the perfect liberty of opinion among a vast majority of the enfranchi, , ed population. Since the destruction of the odious horo;nz:,-niongering system the uocer.ainty aVervi dant up:in the dissolution of Parliament has obviousb, increa ,, ed. Candidates come forward on the hosting: , under , very variety of colour and circumstance. Old candidates, f:r exAmple, appear either with the presrgp of lone -trio rind : duly-appreci a t e d services, or under th e o di um of broken engagements and TIIE neglected duties : they have satisfied or displeased tL eir constituents: they have remained staunch to their coin. • 0., principles, or they have modulated the tune of their pt.iitical creed with the modulated toile of the p ople. dew cani;dates, on the contrary, pews torn % ard, ft% m a solicitude to conci the %titers: their language is sugary with the op parent coincidence if their opinions : their lips 4tower down the p arls and precious stones of pro mise : they pint a flattering and may-be sincere, or a specious and may-be delusive, future. The difficulty is, therefore, to di-criminate with caution in a matter so momentous individually to the local inha bitants, and collectively to the general community. A heavy respotkihility indeed presses upon every separate elector—a responsibility demanding the calmest exercise of the judgment, and the most unim peachable and stoical integrity. Unless this sacred responsibility is felt and remembered by the consti tuent, he is morally answerable before Heaven for its I non-fulfik.ent. Each polling-booth in the country is, so to speak, the nucleus ot a separate battalion in the great national army, by which the social and political victories of seven campaigns are to be obtained; and unless each of those battalions, nay, unless each man in each of those battalions, is true to the sublime cause of the nation, that cause is perilled by treasonous inertness. Long before the actual period of election arrives there is among every sagacious constituency an agitation of the subject upon which so many interests are dependent. That agitation has already com menced in Bath. The two Liberal representatives of that city—long tried, fully proven, and unanimously applauded by the enfranchised lovers of political freedom in that locality—the Noble representative, Lord DUNCAN, and the Hon. and Learned representa tive, Mr. ROEBUCK, appeared on Thursday evening before their electors in the Guildhall of Bath, and re ceived the approval to which they are eminently entitled, and which must have equally been to them a source of the profoundest gratification. The immediate reason for the sudden appearance of these two Members before the constituency of the chi.f city of Somersetshire was one which we can not but regret. We mean the announce ment of the intention of Lord ASHLEY to oppose one or other of them at the ensuing elec tion. For Lord ASHLEY, as an individual, we have the deepest respect; for him, as a politician, we have the most cath)lic indulgence ; for him, as a practical philanthropist, we entertain sentiments of lively gra titude. But we are very far indeed from wishing to see the Noble Lord a rF presentative of Bath, either in the room of Lord DUNCAN or of Mr. ROEBUCK. 11 ah eild lament such a decision on the part of the constituents as a dereliction of duty, as an act of odious ingratitude, and as a proceeding of the most egregious inconsistency. We have said that we re gard Lord ASHLEY, as a politician, through a medium of the most catholic indulgence. We do so, knowing that party is scattered to atoms, that NVhig, awl Tory, and Conservative are the mere names of things that have been, and that the vast maj')rity of the political million, including private citizens and statesmen together, are now merged into one general body of Liberalists, with a petty °pp sitien of Obstinates to deal with, we can and do regard Lord ASHLEY, as a politician, with the most catholic indulgence. But Lord DUNCAN and Mr. ROEBUCK have been the faithful, and consistent, and untiring friends of liberality from the very com mencerNent. Mr. ROEBUCK, indeed, has been the represent:itive for Bath for a period of fifteen Years. On Thursday evening the Honourable and Learned Gentleman submitted himself to a severe test—a test such as but few men could have borne. He compared his conduct during those fifteen years of representation in the House of Commons with the principles and engagements embodied in his address to the Bath electors, when he for the first time requested their suffrages, namely as far back as 1832 ; and through that formidable comparison Mr. Roenuca passed triumphantly —with acclamation. In 1832 he had pledged himself to struggle for a municipal reformation ; that reformation had with his assistance been obtained, and as a proof of its efficacy the meeting he addressed was then (May 27, 1847) convened in the Guildhall, from which the consti tuency in 1832 had been excluded. In 1832 Mr. ROEBUCK. had advocated the principles of free trade; those glorious principles were now, in 1847, embodied upon the statute-book. In 1832 Mr. ROEBUCK had proclaimed his anxiety to forward a plan of national education, superin'ended by the Legislature, without distinctions of either class or creed; and now, in 1847, his name was numbered amongst the mino rity who protested against the exclusive system adopted by the present Administration. Besides proving faithful to his original engagements with the constituents of Bath, Mr. ROEBUCK has re flected very considerable honour on that city. In 1832 he was but little known ; and now, in 1847, he is among the most distinguished Members in the British Parliament. Up to this period then Mr. ROEBUCK and his noble colleague, Lord DUNCAN, have honestly performed their legislative duties; in gratitude and in truth, it is incumbent upon the electors to perform theirs by returning their two eminent and excellent representatives at the next general election. The dreadful catastrophe which has occurred on the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway, hurrying in an instant numerous passengers into eternity, and inflicting the most serious injuries upon those who have almost miraculously survived the accident, is enough to cause a panic in the public mind. From the statistics authoritatively furnished from time to time, great room was afforded for con gratulating the public that, apart from the advantages of superior accommodation and of unprecedented speed, peculiar to railway travelling, the new system of locomotion admitted of a most favourable contrast with the old in regard to its comparative freedom from mortal injuries, and other grievous casualties to human life. It is true that, occasionally, some de plorable accidents have occurred on different lines, hut then upon investigation it was discovered that they were for the most part, if not all of them, attributable to carelessness; and the public, therefore, felt that, since they could be easily protected against the repetition of them, by simple and obvious regulations on the part of the directors, who would be directly interested (setting humanity aside) in seeing them duly en forced, they were, comparatively speaking, safe, and a feeling of general confidence was rapidly engendered in favour of inland communication by the steam-engine. Of late, however, some very startling facts have transpired to detract from the confidence which prevailed that the safety of the passengers lives bad been consulted to the utmost. Most important works on various lines have given way, and evidently from inferior &nil inefficient con struction. Wherever, therefore, either from the use. of improper materials, which may have been resorted to with the view of squeezing out a profit from a con tract too econonical to prove remunerative, if boner fide fulfilled, or from improper haste in the formation of the rlilways, works exist similarly defective with those which have already given way, it is manifest that the lives of thousands are daily exposed to the most imminent peril. It is a danger, t ao, that i. la.ent, and cannot he foreseen. Moreover, the worst feature that presents itself to the mind in its solemn review of the extreme danger to the public, to which we have just adverted, is that the accidents which have recently taken place of this description have ~c curred upon the lines but newly opened to the public. This shows that the preliminary inspection of a Government officer, before a railway can be used by the public, is something far short of what we require. It seems to us that rail ways should not merely be most minutely inspected Alien completed, but that they should be subjected to a thorough system of In the c as e befor e us , not many weeks iin: had cer tifi e d to the solid const ruct i on of the back, the Government i nspector mo‘t h On Wedn es d ay l ast a eartrending disaster quest , b n ri s d u g es e I fall l s ve in h , av aendno th doubt the in to eli c itest the before th e ally true Coroner will be conducted so as cause of the catastrophe. Its proceedings . natu be watched with jealous interest. Mwild journals of the 21st have arrived. Ti. e Ga ette w" the 13th stares that some men belongin g , an En.4i:.h.brig lying off the coast of Tetuan, having been sent on shore to procure forage, had been seized by the Moors, who, however, consented to release them in consequence of the remonstrances of the Spanish general, ORDONEZ. The Ministerial crisis was at an end, as Gent.ral SERRANO had not the moral cou rage to undertake the formation of a Progressista Cabinet, and the Nurvaez intrigue had been de feated. The QUEEN was to return to Madrid on the 23d The Esperanza announces that the Portuguese bri gadier, Baron DE YESFLIES, and the troops he had brought with hini into Spain, had been permitted to re-enter Portugal by Ciudad Rodrigo, the Governor of which place had ordered 200 muskets and a pro portionate quantity of ammunition to be placed at their disposal. MADRID BOLSA, MAY 21.—The Three per Cents. were done at 30 1 4 for cash ; the Four per Cents. et 18 3 4 ; the Debt without Interest at 57 8 ; ard the Coupons at 16. We have received th e Paris papers of Wednesday Rumours were rife that a change of MiniAtry was inevitable, and the Rational has published the follow ing as the list of the members of the new Cabinet : " Count Mole, President of the Council, and Minister for Foreign Affairs. " M. lJufuure, Minister of the Interior. "M. Hippolyte Pass}, Finance. " M. Dude de la Brunerie, War. " M. Billault, Marine. " M. Vivien, luNtice. " M. Data, Public Woks. " M. Saint Marc Girardin, Public Instruction. " M. Bignon, Commerce and Agriculture." It is evident that the Ministry is at present in a very ricketty condition, and is by no means secure of its majority on financial matters. The Union Monarchique says— " We are assured that the committee on the budget has assumed a determination of the highest impor tance, of which the anticipation has, we have no doubt, influenced M. Dumon to quit the Depart ment of Public Works with so much alacrity. It is said, in fact, that the committee has thought it ne cessary to reduce by 81.000,000 f. the estimates furnished by the Minister of Public Works, amounting to 131,000,000 f., for extraoroinary works to be executod during the year 1848. The half of this enormous re duction applies to railroads. It is added that M. Jayr. the new Minister, has acceded with the best grace to the wishes of the commission." The same paper states the fortifications of Paris have been so carelessly constructed, that the fortress of Mont Valerien, the keystone of the system is already crumbling into ruins. The appearance of the harvest throughout France is most promising, and the vines are in a flourishing condition. The Chamber of Deputies resumed on Wednesday the discusAion on postal reform. The first article amended by the Committee stood thus :—" From the Ist of January, 1848, every letter weighing less than 7f grammes, circulating through France, will be liable to a uniform postage of 20 centimes (2d.)" XI. MURET DE BoED and M VUITRY proposed to substitute the following paragraph :—" Single letters carried a distance of 40 kilometres shall pay a postage of 20 centimes ; above 40 kilometres and under 80, 30c. ; above 80 kilometres and under 150, 40c. ; and above 150 kilometres, 50c.” Itl. VUITRY developed his amendment, which was opposed by M. DUFAURE, who was left speaking.

WATERFORD, WEXFORD, WICK LOW, AND DUBLIN RAILWAY. A special general meeting of the proprietors of the Waterford, Wexford, and Wicklow Railway was ht hi yesterday, at the company'a office, No. 449, West Strand, for the purpose of taking into consideration the draft of a bill to authorise certain alterations of the line, and to amend the Act relating thereto. Mr. Bar low in the chair. Tile CHAIRMAN stated that the meeting was purely fornal, convened under Lord Wharneliff-'s Act, to ugrt e to ttse Bill mentioned in the advertisement. Mr. Perry and Mr. Dixon, two Irish proprietors, raised a lengthero.d discussion as to the validity of the meeting, the same Bill having been submitted to a former meeting, when it was nor voted for by the majority required by the standing orders of the House of Lords. The two honourable gentlemen handed in a protest against going to another vote on the Bill. The heads of the Bill were then read, and The CHAIRMAN moved that the Bill be approved of. Mr. PERRY moved an amendment to the effect, that as the subject had been disp ised of at a former meeting it was illegal to proceed with the Bill. The CHAIRMAN declined to entertain the amendment. Mr. Dlxort said, then be would move an amendioent. It was to the effect, that, as the affairs of the company were so depressed, it was impolitic to proceed with the Bill. The CHAIRMAN declined also to entertain this o^e. Mr. DucoN would simply move then that the Bill be not approved of. On a division, there appeared 4 for the amendment and 13 tigainst it. The original motion was then put and declared to be carried.

The Cotton market at Liverpool advanced again yes terday kd. per lb. Sales 7,000 to 8,000 hales Shares were still improving, and with a good business doing.

This gentleman states:-- ~ England is, as far as I am aware, the only country in the world that permits the burden of all lights—the benefit from which is one shared by the whole commit ,pity, but more particularly by the public naval force o; the kingdom—to be defrayed hy charges exclusively im posed upon the merchant end shipowner. France, America, Russia, and Prussia, support the lights upoe their respective coasts out of the funds of the State, and make no separate charge upon shipping for the sup port. of them. It is reserved fur England, the queen of commerce. and the self called centre of commercial enlightenment, to fetter the industry of her children with a heavy and onerous tax, rendered still more irk.ome by a clumsy, inefficient, and expensive mode of collection: "To show how unevenly this system presses upon that part of the - shipping of the country which can least alf)rd to bear the t)urden, it will only be necessary to call to mind that a ship trading to the East Indies, or to China, earning a very large freight, and occupying about a year on the voyage out and home, pays only a few of these lights twice during that time, and that such payment amounts only to a small per tentage upon the fright earned by the ship ; whilst a coaster, which is constantly pas-mg the lights on her voyages. and earns but a coin paratively small freight, pays each time she passes a iight a sum which, in the aggregate, frequently amounts to us much as 5 or 6 per cent. on the gross freight, and 60 ver cent, upon the net profits of the ship. " To illustr,oe this point, allow me to call attention to some of the cases laid before the committee upon lights, to which I have belbre alluded ; and the first case of in justice I will mention is, that of a small vessel belonging to the Edinburgh and Dundee Steam Comp..ny, which passes several lights during the day, fulfilling her voy- age in daylight, and never sailing at all at night. In the year 1843, the amount paid by that vessel for lights, which she never saw or had occasion to use, was no less than 7021. in forty nine weeks. ` 0 In coasting vessels the same hardship exists in a still greater degree, inasmuch as their net profits are reduced almost to nothing—in many instances their light dues fair exceeding the profit which the °wile' makes upon his whole cargo. "In tne years 1843-4, the Trinity house received 'rotn the coating trade 126.6731., whi!st the over-ste, British trade paid only 970541., and foreign ships 33,648/ " The Funds are buoyant again this morning, and many are sanguine of seeing them higher yet.

Don - ,izetti's comic tipera, La Figlia del rieginzerio (better keeen as La flute du Regiment), was predeced eerie en r; 'ay evening with the to:lowing cast:— Maria Nestle. Jenny Lind, La Marchese di Eerketifir , id Madame Solari. Tonic) . . Sig. Gardeni. Su:pzio (a sergeant) The following is the " argument " of the opera, as prefixed to the libretto:—The scene of the action is in the Tyrol. during the occupation of that country by the French. Tee heroine is Maria a Vivandiere, a settler girl, the daughter of the 11th Regiment of the Grand Army of Napoleon. She has be iome the adopted child of the regiment, because Sulpizio, a sergeant of that ex cellent corps, found her after a battle, and with her a le ter from her father, a captain. The letter was ad dressed to a Marchioness of Berkenfield. The good sergeant kept the letter carefully, and the gallant re giment adopted the child, who, from a little girl, has grown up into a sprightly young woman—a suttler full of* spirit and enterprise, whomarches and drinks with her collective lather—that is to sa), the whole regiment In the Tyrol she meets with a young peasant, whc eaves her life when she is on the point of falling down a precipice, and then becomes in love with the vivandiere —a love which she returns from gratitude, and from other reasons still more potent. Tonio, the young Ty. relese, follows the regiment in all its movements, and in spite of every obstacle, and even the threat that they will hartg him as a spy does not deter him; on the con trary, he ventures even to make bold to a'k of the father the hand of his daughter. The regiment, true to its paternal character, assembles and holds a council on the important subject, of which the result is, they will con set.t to the match on the condition that Tonio will enlist into the regiment. Tonio at once aecepts the condition, and becomes a soldier in the hope of being united to Maria. But in this conjecture he experiences a new ob stacle in the person of the Marchioness de Berkenfield. ' On hearing her name, Sulpizio (the sergeant) remem bers the letter addressed to her he found at the same time as Maria; he gives it to the Marchioness and she 're , o4nises the settler girl as her niece, the offspring of the secreL m irriatte of her sister with the French cap tain. The haeghty lady claims her niece, Maria, in eider to have an education given her worthy her ration in society. The 11th Regiment is obliged to ab late its paternity, and to return Maria to her real relative; curia is forced to leave her military father, and likewise poor Tonto, who very fruitlessly has made the sacrifice of deserting to the enemy. Itt the secoLd act Maria is seen at the Castle of Birken field; she has renounced the costume, and with it the manners of a suttler girl. She is obliged to learn the nearing and accomplishments of a young lady of fashion she is tiught to dance and to sing, but it is no longer the joyous songs and unconstrained dance of the came—on the contrary, Maria is much annoyed by her stilted ex istence; she regrets-her former freedom and habits, and very frequently resumes them, to the great annoyance of the proud Marchioness. Her regrat for her past mode at life, and still more for Tonio, is preying upon her .nind, when all at once the sounds of drums and trum pets are heard approaching the castle. These warlike sounds announce the approach of the 11th Regiment. which takes possession of the castle, having for its head tat less interesting person than Tonle, who, thanks to his gallant conduct, has become a field officer, A mutual aid most joyous recognition of course takes place be tween Maria and her lover, who now possessing military rank, asks of the aristocratic aunt that hand in marriage which he obtained before from her lather with the bayonet. The Marchioness rejects the offer, having pro mised the hand of her neice to the son of a duchess, her aeighbour. Tonio then determines on carrying her off. to which Maria consents, indignant at her aunt's cruelty. l'o prevent this, by establishing a cl dm on her feelings. the Marchioness reveals that Maria is, in truth, her d slighter —a fact which she had withheld to conceal the narrnage she had formed so much beneath her rank. Maria, who had reiused to obey her aunt, cannot refuse consent to the will of her new• found mother ;andoilthough n utter despair, consents to marry the young Dukeinstead of Tonic). But this proof of devotion awakens the dor mant feelings of a mother in the heart of the Marchie- ess. and she consents at last. to the union of Tonio and Maria file character of the Vivandiere has, on the continent, been ever considered as one of the most popular of the characters of Jenny Lind, and most justly has it been so consid red. Wonderful as she is in Alice and in Amine, she is equally wonderful, equally great, in Marta. This alone would prove her to be one of the -..reetest wastes that ever lived. In characters in which pathos alone is to be exhibited, in characters in which humour alone is to be exhibited, it is perhaps not so aitlicult for an artist to be great. There is one unin terrupted current of feeling running through the whole drama—similar in kind albeit varying in intensity—and when once the genius is " screwed up" to the particular passion all goes on smoothly, but in such characters as the Vivandiere, in which simplicity and archness, path. s. and fun are blended together, it is most difficult to give to each its due proportion, and that artiste who does this in perfection may be truly said to have achieved a iriumph—mal such a triumph did Jenny Lind achieve last evening. She is as great to the full in comedy as she is in tragedy, and commands the tears or the smiles irf her audience at will. She makes her appearance in the second scene, and enters dressed in her Vivandiere costume. singing an air in honour of her regiment; this was lodow, d by a lively duet, " Io vidi la luce sul camp, guerrier—E it suon del tamburo min solo placer," which she sung with F. Lablache (who supported her mos! efficiently throughout the opera), and which she gave with true military spirit and gusto. The scene ends with the "Plan Plan Ratamplun" march, which she marched, acted, and sang admirably. Tonio is then brought in as a spy, and a change comes over her. They are about to execute him, and the merry VivandierZ be comes all earnestness, as she asks if he shall die who saved her life ? His life is spared and all is joy, atid Maria sings the favourite song of her comrades, " Cies can lo dice—ciaacun lo sa," a song composed in honour of the regiment, and which ends with a refrain in which ad join, "Egli e Ecco Fundecimo c'egual non ha." Ifer acting here was full of spirit. Well might the regiment be proud of :uch a Vivandiere. The chorus, too, WAS admirable ; their making up was superb, and they v► ere excellently drilled, speaking not only in a musical sense, but in a military sense also; it elicited ihouts of enthusiastic applause. The scene in which Toni► declares his love was excellently given. " You lo not believe it—listen, then, decide," exclaims Tonio. Nothing can exceed the dry humour, the espiegle arch ae,s with which, assuming an air of mock dignity, she replies, "Vidiam udiam Ascoltiam e guidichiam." We will see—we will hear—we will consider—we will judge.) The scene ends with an exquisite duet the gem of the first act); " A confession st ardente," vhich was deliciously given by Jenny Lind and Gar• Boni, arid in which the marvellous power which she pos sesses of throwing her voice into distance and again in creasing its force like the swell of an organ, was exhibied wiih most telling effect. The applause at th.- a onclusien lasted for some minutes, and the repetition of the duet was loudly called for from every part of he house. Her acting in the scene in which she parts from her old comrade a, as she is led off by the Marchioness to become the lady of fortune, was beautifuily pathetic—pathetic from it-, very smaph ciiy—the perfection of acting, because there was no iron at acting—and here the astonishing power of hc• voice was made more manifest than it has been in any scene in which she has yet appeared in this country. 'The love of I)onizetti for noisy choruses and noisy ac companiments is well known, and here he had an oppor tunity of indulging that propensity, of which he did not fail to avail himself ; but above the mul:Ludinous voices of the chorus—above the braying of trumpets and horns, ai,d the growli' g o! bassoons and ophAclides— above the spirit-stirring drum, the ear-piercing. fife," was heard the clear, rich, full, soft, yet powerful voice of Jenny Lind, and this not only without screaming, but atis dut.dy without any appArent effbrt or exertion. It is in edless to add that ste was called for at the conclu sion of (he first act. The second is very short, but very exctilent. Vlsti find our merry Vivandiare living in the chateau of the Marchioness, who is in vain endeavour ing. to transform her into a fine lady, so as to mske her a , 41:table t,itr. fo; the Duke of Krakenthorp. Her only s , l9ct. is an o:.cAsi , iiital chat with Sulpizo on the glories of the regiment. The Marchione-s has determined that Vlaria shall in ,ke a grand musical display, and has ch s n an old romance, the music of which is by the Atiestro eaffariell:e Dressed eit grunde dame she enters In meet- Su Ipielo, to whom she confides her sorrow. "She wants me to slog before all the grand people to-night," says rlaria, " I know not what piece of antiquity th4t she has chosen from her hoards of old trash. "Ma to vedrai,” she adds, with the most fascinating archnes s non ne cereal() niente" (You sh a ll see ,e will d o ' ,lathing of the sort). The Marchioness enters with (his exquisite romance in her hand, she seats herself at the piano, and handing the music to Maria, orders her t.o commence Maria commences the romance, accotn pania d by the Duchess, en the pianof or t e ; while she is sieging Su:pizio :ipproeches her, and whisperin g to her h e old refrainliantanplan, she strik es up immediately the favourite air of the regiment, and marching about, to the great horror of the MarehiJne,s, sinel the praises of the regiment—a• Eco l'utidechno cle b egual in ha." The Marchioness, in a tone of offended dignity, remonstrates with her, and Maria, indignant at to: attempts ma , e to instruct her in the art of singing fine," commences a regular sol-fa exercise, in which ..,he introduces all sorts of roulades and shakes, to the astonishment of the Marchioness and the delight of the anlienee, and at length dashing her music hook on the gteamd in a fit of passion, leaves the room. The acting in nis scene was one o! Cie richest pieces of comedy we have over seen, she excited a perfecifu , ore. At th e conclusion the audi. nce was so enthusiastic in their applause that they would not b., sad-fled moil Jenny Lind had come for ward twice to acknowledge the c,inpliments paid to her. Equally great was she in the next scena, " Deeiso e du que," in which, in terns of extreme pathos, she la ments the hard fate which has condemned her to he a fire lady, and to leave her dear fullers, the regiment. Suddenly she hears military music in the distance. " Oh! transporto! oh! dolce ebrezza." It is the old 11th. She is a Vivandiare again, and, bursting out with the old military air "Evviva la !'atria," she fiads herself once again in the midst of her old comrades. H er t rans iti on i n this scene from grief to exuberant j o y was one o f th e finest pieces of acting ever seen, an I h r accuracy in taking up the sudfle change in the character of the music at the tune tuns , gas ef facility. A trio, "Streit' insim,:follows, It is a rattling, rapid affair. and was given with immense spirit by Jenny Lind, F. Lablache, and Garden! : and told most effectively. Tire finale, "Deice Tesoro, was beatiiitully given; nothing cou!cl exceed the grace and the preci s i on , and the luxuriance of her fionture . in this finale. At the tall of the curtain she was called for three times, and bouquets a loison were thrown upon the atsge. Garduni waai in admirable voice, and sang and acted beautifully, and F. Lab:ache, as the Sergeant, gave us more than once, both in his singing and in t.is ti ling a touch of the quality of his mighty sire. At the con clusion o`• the op-ra the National Anthem was surg (in honour of the Queen's birthday) by the whole corps operat;que, Jenny Lind. Castellon, and Lablache taking part in it. The appearance of the house at this mo ment was superb. Not only was every box filled. ex cept the royal box (her Majesty and Prince Albert, who were present during the whole of the opera, and who were enthuisastic in their applause of Jenny Lind, left at its conclusion, without wait ing for the National Anthem), but there was not &place in stalls, pit, or gallery, not a nook or corner, in which it was passible for a human being to be within sight or hearing of the stage unoccupied. It was a rer feet realisation of the vision of Victor Hugo of a theatre overflowing with music, with applause, with beauty, and with light. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN. A rich treat was en° , dedon Thursday night at this theatre. Il Don Giovanni, the chef d'oeuvre of Mozart, was presented in a manner worthy of the great master. The cast was, indeed, one of unprecedented strength. It was not simply that some of the parts were admirably filled, but every link in the chain was complete in itself; there was no failure in any part; every conception of the gifted composer was fully interpreted, and clearly ex pressed. There is, perhaps, no opera that demands so powerful a corps musicale to bring it properly forward— there is no portion of the music that can properly be entrusted to a second-rate performer. Hence, although there is no other production which possesses so great popularity, which attracts such overflowing houses, and which so entirely enthrals the admiring audience, it is not so often produced as the wishes of the public, and the interests of the managers, would seem to demand. There is no class to whom its exquisite and thrilling beauties do not come home. The finished amateur, the scientific musician is impressed with the wonderful skill of the inspired author. He may test i. by the most stringent rules, and can find needing at which to cavil or object. It sets all criticism at defiance. the most querulous and captious railer can suggest ne improvement, while at the same time its simple and touching melody goes to the heart of even the most ignorant. It requires ne knowledge of the art to feel and appreciate its beauties. None but those wholly in sensible to the concord of sweet sounds could remain in different. As long as music is cultivated, so lung will it retain its popularity. We conteas that we find it difficult to select a point from whence to commence our notice of the performance. Grisi and Persiani, each in one of her most pPrfect characters, renders it a matter of no trifling difficulty to say with which we shall open. It would almost seem as if each character had been expressl3 written for those brilliant artistes, to draw forth their peculiar graces. We always felt as if we admired most hichever of the two we last heard, until some new • ffusion of the other's genius changed our sentiment We shall, therefore, take those incomparable p-irnu donnas in the order in which they appeared. We hav never heard Grisi in better voice ; and it is hare to say whether her acting or singing was most to b, admired ;—her resistance to the licentious nobleman, de termined to retain her hold until she had brought her insulter to deserved punishment—her horror, when she finds that her father has fallen a victim to his efforts te protect his child—the agony at his death, mingled with die bitter feeling of vengeance against his assassin. were given in her best style ; and the exquisite due with llario, " Fuggi crud -le fuggi," at the end of the second scene, elicited the most enthusiastic applause The recitative in the eighth scene, when describing to hei lover the attempt on her honour, and its fatal result, ami her discovery of the murderer, when she bursts into th aria " Or Sal chi l'onore" were powerful indeed, and de servedly obtained a most rapturous encore ; while the air" Non mi dir," which, for a long period, had been omitted, for what reason we know not, she again receive i; the heartfelt homage of the audience. The rustic coquette, Zerlina, is one of Persiani's mast finishe pe.r‘brinances, in fact, it has never been more perfectly rendered in any country. Her grace.. vivacity, and extraordinary execution give ful expression to the part. The well-known and beauti ul duet, " La ci damn," with Tarnburiai, of cours• commanded an unanimous encore: The " e nee, vorrie," half yielding and half resisting, was perfect. The " Batti, batti," where she throws hersel upon her incensed lover's mercy, saying tha , he will patiently submit to any punishment, and implores him even to beat her, was indeed beau tiful, and again obtained a similar tribute with ethic'. she readily complied. It would be unjust to leave unno i;ced the exquisite violoncello accompaniment of the ve reran Lindley to this air. Her " Vedrai Carino," war also enthusiastically called for, but her great previote exertions rendered her unable to comply with the de mand. Tile Elvira of Mdlle. Corbari is decidedly the best wc have ever heard ; her rich soprano was heard to the greatest advantage in the complaint, "Ah ! chi re dice," while , all the intricate and difficult passages in th.
