An address to his constituency has already an, no-Anced the temporary withdrawal of Sir CHARLES N .te, sia from his Parliamentary duties, for the equally o , tliotic and congenial duties connected with the ele ine3t upon which the Gallant Admiral has acquired so much celebrity. Nothing but the direction of his capacities to the maritime service of England could compensate the electors of Marylebone for the inter ruption of those legislative labours which have proved so acceptable in their earnestness, and so serviceable in their assiduity. But Sir CHARLES NAPIER has thereby, by no means, a diminished claim upon the confidence of his constituency. On the Con!'rary, he is by his recent appointment entitled to expect a redoubled expression of that confidence which was so cordially demon strated on a former occasion. Now that the her o o f Acre is order e d to hoist his flag on board th e St. Vincent, for th e purpose forthwith to the mouth of the Ta gus , ho Pr r eed ing a ea - n z i fs a ir from being in capacitated from becoming arrive, at the general titlethat he is election which must very speedily on that very account invested with a fresh and somewhgat fan It approbation of a liberal and enlightened borou h t° the We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. wer,- the utterance of a curious,- The Journal des Daats has a long article on the rcent change in the Mi n i s try, tion, to assert that a man is disqualified to become th e which was rendered tastie, and surely a very incomprehensible, proposi. use nCecessary, it says, by th e i ntr i gues of the progressive rr entative of an English constituent because he i s onservatives, tain members w of hi t c h h e le A d fin to ist c ry on . sta ,, n T t h a e tta m ck em s o b n er c s e o r- f epy actively engaged in the national servi ce ; or that the Cabinet " • on to say, " have not lent one s h b o e u l a d b l t a e n k o e e e r a . , it goes _ a state of professional torpor is absolutely necessary another sufficient assista those who have the before an officer can be deemed worthy of advocating Ministry cannot All the members of a the principles of his enfranchised fellow-citizens. gift of oratory orators ; such a notion would be in direct contravention of have it not, or who have it im p e place of th ose w h o all tie principles of common sense.

Several per sons have been arrested and examined, but the result of the investigation is as yet unknown.

TEE SUN, LONDON,' SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 15, 1847. all the toils of the recent Parliamentary sessions by the enthusiasm of an election which shall redound to the credit of the intelligence of the popu. lation, and shall be a guarantee of the extended happi. ness of the community. Remember this, Liberal Elec• tors of England! that although you have the vast majo rity of the talent of the country with you, although the most eminent statesmen of the age are with a few unimportant exceptions bound together in the na tional cause, you must likewise show that among your chief characteristics are those of ardour, of en thusiasm, of industry, of unanimity. And for the more facile assurance of success to the Liberal cru sade, which must be commenced at the next general election, let us return again to the Lower House of Parliament those men who have evinced their com petence to fulfil the duties of our representatives pro perly. Electors of Marylebone ! among these men is Sir CHARLES NAPIER. Towards the close of last month Mr. COBDEN, M.P., was munificently entertained by the citizens of Flo rence, in their splendid gallery at the Borghese Palace. Having for upwards of half a century con ducted their mercantile affairs upon the principles of free trade, whereby they have attained to a degree of social prosperity and happiness which the modern traveller finds unequalled in any part of Europe, the Tuscans had nothing to gain by inviting our re spected and illustrious countryman to a public ban quet. The same observation would fail if applied to the remarkable receptions which the Hon. Member for Stockport has met with in other cities of southern Europe, during the nine months he has been absent from his native land. Throughout France and Spain the enlightened merchants resident in the various marts visited by Mr. COBDEN in the progress of his tour, felt, more or less, the blighting effects of the burdensome fiscal arrangements by which their ex port and import trade are affected. Hence, apart from the gratification which they naturally expe rienced in entertaining so distinguished a guest, they could not but have hoped that the faithful ex position of the true principles of commerce, made amongst them by the great champion of freedom of trade, and duly disseminated among the public, might facilitate the conversion of their respective Governments to the expediency of framing their mercantile codes in accordance with the enlightened views of the renowned commercial regenerator of the nineteenth century; whereas in Tuscany the citizens had no room for similar anticipations. The galling influences of a restrictive policy have for years been unknown to them. For the last fifty years the genius of philanthrophy has guided their intercourse with the rest of the world. The banquet in question, there fore, was given purely in honour to Mr. COBDEN. It emanated in the most refined desire of publicly tes• tifying their exalted sense of his personal worth and European celebrity. The assembly was altogether free from the slightest alloy of selfishness. In its sympathies and aspirations it was entirely masonic. The blessings which they had acquired for themselves they wished to be experienced by the inhabitants of other states ; they gloried in finding among them the man who had succeeded in England in trampling under foot the hydra of monopoly. Mr. COBDEN made a most felicitous speech. He acknowledged that instruction to his audience would be superfluous. His remarks were made to be read in other lands, and to bear his faithful testimony to the happy condi tion of a people who had consistently acted upon the soundest principles of political economy. Where the sceptic will not be convinced by philosophical reason ing, a practical illustration will frequently serve to work a conviction. There is a princely simplicity in the eloquence of RICHARD COBDEN. To the memo ries of the eminent men who had disenthralled com merce in Tuscany, be rendered a solemn homage Honour to Baudini, who a century ago discovered the truth, of which more than half the civilized world is still ig norant, that liberty of commerce is the only safeguard of nations against the evils of scarcity, and their surest guide to agricultural and commercial pros perity. tionour, immortal honour, to Leopold, who, taking the torch of science from the h an d o f B au di n i , entered upon the then dark and untrodden path of free trade, and guided only by its pure light proceeded onwards with an unfaltering step, undeterred by the obstacles which ignorance, prejudice, and self-interest threw in his way. Honour to .Neri, John Fabbroni, Fossombroni, and the rest, who preserved from the attacks of sophistry his great work to our day. These are the real benefactors of mankind, to whom we ought to decree honours and monuments, whose peaceful triumphs will shed blessings upon myriads yet unborn, long after the causes and compnipmers of blood-stained victories are lost in oblivion and nothingness." The generous encomiums conveyed in the fore going have been deservedly lavished upon the speaker himself. Well might, then, Signor EMANUELLE FENzr, in his fervid address, exclaim, " Continue your labours, 0 RICHARD ! gather other laurels, so much the more to be desired because they are not stained with blood, but are covered with the benedic tions of the human race." the electoral liberalists of Marylebone. The gallant Admiral has redeemed all the pledges of the hustings ; he has evinced no little anxiety to forward those principles of commercial and legislative reform which have latterly become so; intimately amalgamated with the whole body of the Legislature. The interest displayed by the Hon. and Gallant Member for Marylebone in all 'natters of a local and parochial character has only been exceeded by the regularity of his attendance in the House of Commons, and by the boldness of the language in which he has so frequently upheld the cause of social and political freedom. Now that the septennial period is approaching so nearly to its termination, it necessarily becomes a matter of peculiar and paramount interest with those who are really solicitous for the triumph of liberality, that every constituency throughout the three king doms and the principality of Wales should be pre pared for the contest inevitable upon that general dissolution. The contest will not merely be at the polling-booths or around the hustings; it will in a particular manner become manifested in the courts of registration. For that contest every enfranchised patriot in the empire should be prepared. No one must slumber like the hare in the fable, or the tortoise may outstrip its more competent rival. Every man must be up betimes, and doing. The flood-tide is approaching ; let not the precious opportunity be missed. Remember that the Athletes of the Roman amphitheatres developed their corporeal skill and their muscular energies by perpetual practice in the strifes of the arena. The glorious principles of civil and religious liberty have gained marvellously in numerical strength and popularity since the last auction, it is true ; the kindred doctrine of free trade has in that momentous interval become victorious, it is true ; the Conservative party, the strong party, the inflexible and domineering party, has been routed and trodden down before the irresistible impulse of the popular will, it is true ; party generally, indeed, has become a has been and a bye-word, it is true ; yet for those very reasons we should not evince our exultation by indolence, or assert our power by an idle and braggart confidence. We should consum hundred votes, if it be not every day on the breach to sustain its majority and enlighten public opinion." The Constitutionnel ascribes the embarrassment of the Cabinet to the misconduct of its members, and states that the Due DE BROGLIE advised the retire ment of the whole Cabinet, and that a person whom M. GUIZOT is accustomed to consult, and on whose opinion he places great reliance, was of a similar opinion; but that M. DUCHA.TEL insisted that the Cabinet should remain in office. During the recent disturbances in different parts of France to prevent the removal of grain, the mili tary authorities have not ventured to employ force to establish order, when not unaccompanied by one of the civil authorities. The Minister of War, how ever, has just issued directions, setting forth that by the law of Aug. 3, 1791, the commandants of the military have not need of the co-operation of a civil magistrate to repress acts of aggression and pillage, and to ensure the absolute free circulation of grain and provisions. The Toulonnais of Sunday states that the first division of the Mediterranean squadron, now at anchor off the island of Hyeres, was expected to re turn to Toulon to re-victual, and then sail for the coast of Italy with the other ships under the com mand of the Prince DE JOINVILLE, whose squadron is now composed of the Souverain, bearing the Ad miral's flag, the Friedland, in which is Rear-Admiral DE TREHOUARD, the Ocean, Jupiter, and Jena, with the two frigates Armide, and Psyche, and several steamers.

BRUSSELS-, MAY 11.—Seventeen ships arrived in Ant werp yesterday, twelve of which have cargoes of Corn. The Precurseur informs us that the refiners of foreign sugar at Antwerp have just addressed a petition to the Minister of Finance on the subject of molasses, which have lately arrived from Mantazas, and which are no longer imported at the duty of G 36 . In this document, which we are sorry that we cannot place before our readers at full length. The petitioner requires that the member, before deciding on this admission will be pleased to order a trial to be made with the molasses, in order to ascertain the quan tity of sugar fit for exportation which these contain. For the purpose of making this trial, the refiners have placed their manufactories at the disposal of the Go vernment The Senate opened and closed the general discussion of projects o f l aw for granting supplementary credit to the department of the Interior and of Foreign Affairs. The sequ e l o f th e general discussion of the projects of law relative to the reduction of the tolls on the Sambre, which op ene d at the end of the sitting, was adjourned till the evening. The Moniteier of this day contains a Royal ordinance , promulgating the l aw, by which the Chambers ha v e fixed the ex p en di ture and revenue of the kingdom, ae ,,,rding to the account presented Finance. by the Minister of Art. 1. The ordinary and extraordinary expenses of 1839 are fixed at the sum of 124,293,3141. 74c.

The receipts of the budget of 1839 are fixed at the sum of 115 , 8 85,823 f. 15c. A sum of 48,6121. sc. is to be deducted from the revenue. ANTWERP.—ASPECT OF THE TrAttvEsT.—A letter from Grammond e Gays, the country presents at this moment a delightful prospect from the fine appearance of the tole seed, which have not, for a long time, been so strong and so full covered with flowers. There has, indeed, been som e d e l ay in the flower i ng a s in vegeta tion in general thi s year, but this delay w ill n ot be pre judicial; next to the tole seed the rye presents the most beautiful appearance. It i s l ong since it has been MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) There was a steady market for Cotton at Liverpool yester day. Sales 4,000 bales, without change in prices, including 3,500 bales of American at 6d. to 71d. per lb. There was a better feeling in the Share-market, owing to the bankers discounting more freely. Thu sale of Railway Shares to-day, by Messrs. Lamont and Co., went off without spirit, and prices remain un altered.

Had the letters and papers reached town sufficiently early, the market would no doubt have been affected in Mark-lane, but in the interim business proceeded quietly, and Monday's rates were supported, foreign qualities being even a shade dearer, in the absence of any extensive demand, and despite the very fair arrivals within the last two or three days. Wheat seems now to be the scarcest article, and therefore it becomes of importance that consumers should turn their attention in some measure to rye, Indian corn, sc., as partial substitutes. This, with economy, would assist in clearing out the supplies, and much, also, will be saved by even the moderate use of sugar in distilleries. The exchange comes higher from New York, but for other particulars, as we have not yet had an opportunity of seeing private letters from America, we must refer our readers to another part of The Sun. Although money has been rather dearer in the Stock Ex change, arising from the payment in advance of instalments upon the Loan, and which have been made, it is said, to some extent, there is certainly rather more ease in the dis count market, and there has been accommodation rather more liberally granted, despite some difficulty which has arisen in the payment of acceptances by one or two houses. In dulgence in the present state of affairs may well be needed, and to the fullest possible extent, no doubt, will be granted too. The Funds are influenced temporarily by the Loan pay ments, but Exchequer-bills have been made most available for the purpose. The allowance of in creased interest or discount upon prompt or full payments of the deposits upon the Eight Million Loan, in some degree, and without doubt, if such payments be ex tensively made, tend to eheck the advantages intended by the advancement of the interest upon the Unfunded Debt, though unquestionably it must place the Treasury in a more wholesome condition. It may be questioned whether capi talists, considering the present value of money, will pay ex tensively upon the scrip until matters become more settled. Consols have alternated from 86% to 8716 for ;present transfer, and from 87% to 87% for account. Exchequer bills have realised par to ls. premium. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 87% to 87%. The Foreign investments have been very little dealt in. Spanish Three per Cents. are 34 to 34%; Mexican have touched 20 to 20 , / 8 ; Brazilian are steady at 83; and Dutch Four per Cents. are Railway Shares are rather better supported, with less stock pressing for sale. BRITISII FUNDS. MEETING OF THE DEBENTURE HOLDERS OF THE LYCEUM THEATRE. A meeting of the debenture holders of this theatre was held yesterday in the salOon of the theatre, for the pur pose of considering the best means to be adopted for recover ing the arrears now due to them on their debentures. There were present Mr. W arrington, Mr. Brookes, Mr. Lumley (who attended as the solicitor and agent of the Marquis of Aylesbury), Mr. Chilton (who attended as the representative of Mr. Wallace), Mr. Powell, Dr. Jay, Mr. Amyott, the magistrate, Mr. Gilbert, Mr. G. Moore, Mr. W. Cox, Mr. Wagstaff, and Mr. J. Strutt. Mr. WARRINGTON having been called to the chair, Mr. STRUTT said that he called this meeting of his brother debenture holders in order that they might consider the steps proper to be taken under the circumstances in which they found themselves placed. As a debenture holder he had, on the 25th of April last, written to Mr. Walter Arnold, as the representative of the trustees of the Lyceum Theatre, requesting that gentleman to furnish him (Mr. Strutt) with a statement of the accounts of the theatre. (Mr. Strutt here read the letter, which stated, that as Mr. Arnold had received a sum amounting to upwards of 5,0001. as rent for the theatre, from Messrs. Keeley and Strutt, he (Mr. Strutt) as a debenture holder, requested to know how that sum had been applied.) In his answer, Mr. Walter Arnold said that as Messrs. Grisell and Peto had a mortgage upon the property, dated 1834, which took precedence of the debenture deeds, and not one shilling of which had been discharged, he must decline furnishing any accounts. (This letter was also read in extenso.) Ile (Mr. Strutt) had paid to Mr. Walter Arnold, as rent, for the theatre in 1844, 2,2031., in 1845, 2,3071., exclusive of 4001. deposit ; in 1846. 2,699/., and up to the 13th June, 1847, 557!., making a total of 7,766/., which he knew himself had been paid, and, which spread over an extent of three years. gave 2,313!. a year. From 1836 to 1846 there had been re ceived as rent of the theatre, 22,400/., and as rent of the houses included in the same trust, 3,360/., making a total of 26,260/., giving an average rental for the theatre of 2,073/., and for the houses of 357/., showing a total annual average rental during the 11 years of 2,224/. When the mortgage was given to Grisell and Peto there was a sum of 1,4454. due to the Marquis of Exeter. The following had been stated by Mr. Walter Arnold to be the amount of the average annual liabilities of the theatre :—Ground rent, 704/.; interest on a mortgage held by the Marquis of Exeter, 2321.; interest on Grisell and Peto's mortgage, 560/. ; taxes, 2501.; insurance, 120/. ; repairs, 1001. ; sundries, 25/. ; and Mr. Walter Arnold c h arge d for himself, for the trouble of receiving the moneys, 1501. a year. He left it to the meeting to say how far they thought such a payment ought to be sanctioned in the present state of their affairs. But even this account showed that their ought to be a balance in hand of 3,300!. available to the payment of the debt due to the debenture holders, but he had ascertained that there must be a considerably greater balance unaccounted for. The ground rent was two years in arrear, which would increase the balance unaccounted for by a sum of 1,400/., and he would ask, if Mr. Walter Arnold, or the trustees, have received this money, why did they thus place the property of the debenture holders in jeopardy? The Mar quis of Exeter might at any moment enter upon the pos session of the theatre, and get rid of them altogether by an action of ejectment. If Mr. Walter Arnold could not give some better account of this transaction than he had done, it was high time that the debenture holders should look to themselves. In July 1836, Mr. Walter Arnold had written a letter to the debenture holders, stating that the debt due to Grisell and Peto was 5,996/„ and that it would be liqui dated by an annual payment of 800/. The mortgage debt now returned as due to Grisell and Peto was 9,2371., nearly double what it was in 1836. It could not have amounted to this sum even if the 2,2391. guaranteed to the Marquis of Exeter on the execution of this mortgage were included in it. This debt ought to have been reduced instead of having been increased, inasmuch as there was a surplus of revenue over expenditure, which might have been applied to its gradual liquidation; but, notwithstanding the receipts show a balance for the last 11 years of 300/. a year over the expenditure, making a sum of 3,300/., which might have been applied to the liquidation of this debt, notwith standing there was a sum of 1,400/. arrears of ground rent unaccounted for, this debt of Grisell and Peto's had nearly doubled. There was besides a sum of 1,650/., which during that period had been drawn by Mr. Walter Arnold for re ceiving the moneys belonging to them. Mr. POWELL—That is not the only benefit Mr. W. Arnold has derived. He has, I believe, besides this 150/. a year, the best box in the theatre. Mr. Sruurr said such was the case, and not only had he the privilege of giving that box to his friends, but he used to let it through the booksellers at 2/. a night, clearing 6/. a week in that manner, and it was in consequence of his (Mr. Strutt's) refusal to let Mr. Arnold use his privilege in that manner to the injury of the lessees, that Mr. Arnold had chosen to refuse any terms that Mr.',Keeley and himself might offer to take the theatre. But as that was a merely personal matter he would not go into it. Mr. POWELL—By what authority does Mr. Arnold hold that box? We do not benefit by it. Mr. STaurr—Certainly the debenture holders do not profit by the box. Mr. PowEu.--It is a very bad bone, certainly; but Mr. Arnold seems to be the only person who gets any picking off of it. In answer to several questions, Mr. Svturr said that he did not know who had a right to let the theatre. He had taken it of Mr. W. Arnold; he paid Mr. W. Arnold the rent; and Mr. W. Arnold was the only person he knew as the representative of the debenture holders. Ile believed that the mortgage of Grisell and Peto had been assigned to Mr. Walter Arnold, who had assigned it to Lord Cecil. the Marquis of Exeter's son. He had learned from Mr. Warneford, the agent to the Marquis of Exeter, that there were two years' arrears of ground rent due, and until that was paid up they might be refused permission to walk into the theatre. The taxes had been returned as 2501., they amounted to less than 2001. The insurance in the West of England had been returned at 2501. a year, He had inquired, and found that the sum paid to the West of England Office was 651. a year. The repairs had been himself at 100/. During the three years of his tenanc h en e and, with v re n himself had done all the repairs, and during the last eleven e years not 3001. had been spent on the theatre ; gard to the 1501. a year to Mr. Walter Arnold for collecting the money, all he could say was, that he, Mr. String aid his rent into the bank of Messrs. Cock g, and all the trouble Cock burn every Monday mornin W. Arnold had was Hto draw it out a gain. Ile gave Mr. W. A rno ld notice of this meeting in ord er that he might attend if he thought it desirable. He had also written to the trustees, Lord Saltoun, Sir Andrew Barnard, and Sir. Hallett. The two former replied that they bad never interfered in the affairs of the theatre, and the latter that he had never received any money available to the liquidation of the claims of the debenture holders. He had written to Mr. Arnold, sen., and his answer was to the same purport as that of Mr. Hallett. A conversation ensued on the conclusion of Mr. Strutt's address, and eventually air. LUAILEY (acting on behalf of the Marquis of Ayles bury) moved the following resolution : "Resolved —That the debenture creditors having received no payment whatever on account of the debentures granted by the trustees of the Lyceum Theatre, nor any satisfactory ac count since the granting of the same in 1835, notwithstand ing it appears that the property has been productive to a considerable amount during the whole of that period, an ap plication be forthwith made to the trustees, for an account, showing the annual net rents and profits since the date of the debentures, and for the production of the trust deeds, and other accounts and papers necessary to ascertain the parti culars relating to such net rents and profits." The resolution was seconded by Mr. BnooKEs, and carried unanimously. Dr. JAY then moved that Messrs. Strutt, Warrington, and Powell, debenture holders, who have kindly undertaken the same, be authorised to make such application, and to examine such deeds, trusts, and accounts, on behalf of this rneatinr„ to report the result to this meeting, which is ad journed to rriday, 4th June next ? at one o'clock, to be held in so fine, and only one fear is entertained, namely, lest the abundance of seed should be lost in the plant, and leave only their ears. For this reason, several farmers at the beginning of last month, have sent their sheep into the rye field to weed the plants, and they hare suc ceeded admirably. The wheat is not so favourable, and in general is slightly attacked with blight, which, how ever, begins to disappear. A considerable quantity of wheat suffer from the want of manure, which many of the smaller farmers have not been able to procure this year. The planting of potatoes is completed, but the farmers have generally followed the advice of the news papers to pass the harrow over the plantations. The flax looks well, and, upon the whole, the state of the harvest is favourable in our neighbourhood. VIENNA, MAY 4.—At one o'clock this morning the remains of his Imperial Highness the Archduke were laid in state in the Hofberg Chapel. The walls were hung with black cloth, upon which are suspended the various armorial bearings of the deceased. The Imperial Duke, lying on the state bed, is at tired in a marshal's uniform, his halide crossed on his breast, surrounded by a hundred burn ing wax-tapers. At his feet lie his field marshal's staff and his hat and sword; at his head, a crown; on his right and left, the Gold Fleece, the Grand Cross of the Order of Theresa, and several other splendid deco rations. The heart of the hero is now (three o'clock) being conveyed to the Church of St. Augustin, and his entrails to the Ch urc h of St. Stephen. In two hours the remains of the Duke will be deposited in the imperial vault of the Capuchins. Thousands have been assembling since an early hour this morning to witness the interment. This morning a letter was addressed, by his Majesty the Emperor, to the chief military councillor, Count von Ilardeyg, imforming him that the army should partake of the court mourning for six weeks ; that the Field Marshal's sword shall be de posited in the Imperial Arsenal ; and that both: the Regiments of which he was commander should for ever retain the name of the Archduke Charles. His Majesty likewise states his desire immediately to erect a splendid monument to the memory of the deceased. On the an niversary of Napoleon's death a solemn mass will be celebrated for the departed Duke. The theatres are closed for some days. DEARTH IN GERMANY. PRAGUE, MAY 2 d.—Private letters state that there have been riots in Kommotan, and also in Eger and Leitmeritz, directed against fureign corn dealers. They were pursued out of Eger with showers oft stones as far as Wahlsassen ; and in Leitmeritz a speculator in corn had both his ears cut off. Disturbances were also apprehended at Aussig. In the Riesengebirge the people mix flour with wheat straw, and where this cannot be obtained, they are com pelled to use hay ground to powder, which they mix with rye, flour and oatmeal. BERLIN, MAY s. —Several cargoes of corn arrived here to-day, and others are expected. The importation of corn by land has also been considerable, so that the sale in our market to-day might be called dull. Rye was sold at 102 dollars to 110 dollars per whispel (24 bushels), and oats from 46 dollars to 50 dollars. In consequence of the prohibition of the distilleries, such large supply of potatoes has come from the wealthy landowners, that there is sufficient, not only for planting and supporting the inhabitants, but also for feeding the cattle, so that we may hope for a great reduction in the price of this article. PRUSSIAN DIET. BERLIN, MAY 4.—The affair of the address is not yet settled, and we shall, therefore, soon find it again brought forward. The continuation of the projects of law in the sitting of to-day did not produce anything important. We may add, that in the last sitting of the preceding week the determination, according to which those persons are to be considered as exceptionable, who according to article 4 of the Royal ordinance of the 20th of July, 184 3 , in the Courts of Honour, have been con demned to the penalties prescribed (e.g., for wanton conduct in duelling), was rejected by a majority of 260 to 205. " EPILOGUE. ALSO WRITTEN FOR THE OCCASION EY LADY DUFFERIN. " Friends! for such are ye, who have played friends' parts, Whose hands have given kind earnest for your hearts, Fain would I thank ye in their name, whose grief Needs but to ask, and to obtain relief; Who hailed ye brothers by the bond of wo, And found no English heart that answered---' No.' " But sad thoughts lie behind those grateful words, And my hand shrinks from such deep-sounding chords, Lest I should pass the limits of my part, (To rouse the feelings, not to wring the heart). 1 would remind ye, that these hours of pleasure Are not so wholly lost, as some you measure; That kindly purposes, and motives right, Hallow those moments of else vain delight; And pleasure's garlands, when their bloom is fled, Shall bear sweet fruits of mercy in its stead. And ye, most gentle, inexperienced eyes, That view real misery with a strange surprise, That, lost in wonder, as its depth appears, Still half incredulous, question thro' your tears; As stars, that in appointed orbits move, Far off, yet proceed, in their light or love, To God's wide firmament their lustre yield, _ ; Yet shed s wee t i n fluen ce on th e peasant'a . fie.ld_ t P So your bright presence in these scenes to-night, soil, On many a darkened hearth shall kindle light, Shall fall like sunshine on the unfilled ; Rouse the sad labourer to rewarded toil And glow like spring n —green, no more. on Sc.otland's barren shore, And the waste plains of Er' t la " One word for us , Indulgent critics, gen!rou l: Y bours find kind applause, Who blend together, and er,in Th e imperfect effort t its eir worthier cause. Take our best wish es I—be your dreams to-night By hopeful thoughts of happier days made bright; May no sad image on your memories dwell, But thanks and blessings breathed in thi s — Farewell."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—FRIDAY. Business, in the aggregate, was flat, but it did not lack importance, inasmuch as it once more had the effect of re versing the positions of the two Danebury favourites, and brought Mr. Greville's Mirmillo from the extreme outside to 20 to 1, taken freely in good quarters. This was the only change worth especial notice in the Derby betting; that on the Oaks was limited to two or three mares, and resulted in a marked improvement in Ellerdale, and a further decline in the Farmer's Daughter, on whom no one seemed disposed to invest at any price.

It combines two very attractive features—a pic ture of existing society in the upper circles, and a story of deep domestic interest. It has been rumoured that some of the characters which are remarkable for spirited portraiture, have their originals in existing personages. Possibly this may be true as regards the Duke of Shetland and Lady Truro ; nor is it at all unlikely that Mrs. Harry Erridge, the lady who has remained so long abroad as to have forgotten how to speak her own language, has also been drawn from the lite. CALEDONIAN ASYLUM.—We are glad to understand la the Anniversary Ball will be celebrated with more than usual splendour; for though there have been so many urgent calls, owing to the dearth prevailing in some parts of Scot land, upon the patronesses in extending the charities of pri• vate life, they are determined by a well sustained benevo lence to aid the directors in maintaining this admirable in stitution in the fullest efficiency. It possesses peculiar claims on the consid era ti on o f patriotic Scotchmen, and we trust they will come forward with hereditary zeal, and contribute to the furtherance of a beneficent and national object. A HINT TO PAPER MANUFACTURERS.—We Copy the following from a recent number of the New Zealand Spectator and Cook's Strait Guardian, (Dec. 9,) published at Wellington :—" We must apologise to our readers for being obliged, from the unusual scarcity of printing paper in the colony, to publish the Spectator on blotting paper.

COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen gave a State Ball last evening at Buckingham Palace, which was very numerously and brilliantly attended, the company including the Royal Family, the Members of the Diplomatic Corps, the foreigners of distinction at present in town, the Ministers and Officers of State, the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Royal Household, and the principal nobility and gentry. His Royal Highness Prince Albert presided yesterday af ternoon at a Committee of the Commissioners for Promoting and Encouraging the Fine Arts in the Rebuilding the Palace of Westminster. His Royal Highness arrived at the New Palace, attended by Captain the Hon. A. H. Gordon, shortly before three o'clock. the saloon of this theatre, for the purpose of receiving their report. The resolution was seconded by Mr. CuILTAir, and carried unanimously. Mr. STEGTT then moved that a copy of these resolutions be advertised and sent to such of the other debenture creditors as may be conveniently found. Mr. WAGSTAFF seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Dr. JAY, in proposing the thanks of the meeting to Mr. Strutt, said that if the debenture holders had any chance of ever getting anything, it would be entirely owing to the ex ertions of that gentleman. The motion was seconded by Mr BROOKES, and carried unanimously. On the motion of Mr. WAGSTAFF, seconded by Mr. POWELL, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meet ing separated. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT GARDEN. A combination of many attractions on Thursday assem bled a fashionable and numerous audience at this theatre. Donizetti's opera buff aL' Elisir d' Amore was first pro duced, with M adame Persianias Adina. There is no ' part better suited to the peculiar and extraordinary powers of this lady that than of the capricious heroine. It gives full scope to her brilliant and surprising ca denzas, so perfectly executed, while at the same time her voice is in no part strained. It has, therefore, ever been considered one of the greatest triumphs of her art, and on no former occasion has it been more perfectly or exqui sitely rendered. Although suffering under the effects of a slight attack of influenza, no trace of it was discernible in her finished performance. It is hard to particu larise any single excellence where all was admirable. In the second act the change of feeling towards the scorned and slighted Nemorino, when she feels that she now loves him she had formerly despised, but who had in turn become cold towards her, and also learns that he had sold his liberty to become a soldier, in order to obtain the magic draught, was beautifully expressed, and rapturous applause was bestowed on her graceful delivery of " Una tenera occhiateria," when, refusing the offered philtre, she trusted to the more simple and natural means of re calling her truant lover, which she knew to be within her power. Salvi was the Nernorino, and imparted the greatest interest to the character, as well in the music as the acting; his joy at receiving the highly-prized elixir, which he supposes will make the coquettish Adina re ciprocate his love, the lightness of heart with which he determines no longer to fatigue her with his sighs, as on the morrow she would adore him, and also his despair when he supposes that she is about to sign the nuptial contract before the charm has taken effect, were beauti fully expressed. His greatest triumph, however, was in the aria, " Una furtiva lagrima," which was given with the greatest feeling and taste, and which obtained an unanimous and enthusiastic encore. Tamburini, as Sergeant Belcour, was himself again. He has perfectly recovered from the indisposition by which, on his first arrival in this country, he was affected, and was in deed the Tamburini of former days. He looked the gay, lively, and conceited soldier to perfection, and, whether presenting the bouquet, making love, enlisting his rival as a recruit, or bullying him when imploring Adina to postpone her nuptials, he identified himself perfectly with his character, and received the plaudits which his artistic performance in every resrect so justly deserved. We confess that we were agreeably surprised with the Dulcamara of Revere. It was no slight undertaking to attempt a part which the prince of buffos (La blache) had made completely his own. He must have been well aware of the difficulties with which he had to contend, but he nerved himself to the task, and acquitted himself admirably. The part was better suited to him than any in which he has as yet appeared. In the scenes with the credulous Nemorino, the self-satisfied Belcore, and the love. sick Adina, his by-play was ad mirable. The well-known duets "In son ricco" and " Come sur va contento," with Madame Persiani, were deservedly applauded. On the whole, his success was complete. After the falling of the curtain Madame Persiani, Salvi. and Tamburini were called forward to receive the plaudits of the audience. The third act of 1 Puritani was announced, but owing to the illness of Mario it was withdrawn, and a selection from the second act of Semiramide was substituted. Grisi was in admi rable voice and gave the grand recitative followed by the duo with Tamburini most beautifully. Mademoiselle Alboni, as Arsace, maintained the high position she has attained. It is imposible to conceive anything more perfect than the duo with Grisi, which deservedly obtained the entire approbation of the audience. A playful contest was exhibited between these accomplished artistes, each pressing on the other a bouquet which was thrown on the stage at the conclusion of the duet. This was, however, pleasingly closed by a second cast from the other side of the house, so that each retired with their respective tributes. A similar testimonial had also been given to Madame Persiani. The new divertissement La Bouquetiere de Venise, in which Fanny Elssler appeared and danced La Cachuca, as well as the rapid dance which she has peculiarly made her own, and the last act of La Reine des Fees, with Dumilatre as the Fairy Queen, concluded the entertain ments of the evening. ST. JAMES S THEATRE. The second performance of the amateurs, for the benefit of the Irish and Scotch, took place on Thursday. again in the presence of her Majesty. The play was the Ernani of Victor Hugo, which has been very well rendered into English rhyming verse by the Earl of Ellesmere, after the fashion of Dryden's heroic plays. Mrs. Butler acted Dona Sol, and the company gained strength by the accession of Mr. Forster, who played Don Ray Gomez (the old Castilian) with a care and force rarely to be found among amateurs. The prologue and epilogue were as follows : " PROLOGUE. WRITTILIT FOR THE OCCASION BY VISCOUNT MORPETH. " If the pale Muse, by whose heart-stirring power Terror and pity rule their varied hour, Could blend together on one swelling stage, The gathered woes of each dramatic age; Each awful thrill great Siddons bade us feel, Each tear that flowed unbid o'er soft O'Neil, How slight the pangs that wait on Fiction's call, Our dread realities efface them all. " Yes, leave with me the drama's festive pile, Life's sternest contrast must be viewed awhile; Come, all in gay or captious mood who sit In these bright boxes—in that social pit— Come where the surges break with sullen roar, On Kerry's cliff, or Conemara's shore; Come where with ceaseless plaint the wild sea-gull Floats o'er deep-caverned Skye, or storm-beat Mull; Pass o'er bleak moor and unfrequented hill; Pause on yon unroofed cabin's noiseless sill ; See I on the rotting straw the prostrate man— Prop of his home, or champion of his clan ; The fever dims his eye and draws his cheek: His children mourn—they have not strength to shriek, While the unmurmuring wife, who with him bore The long privations of their failing store, With her uncoffined infant at her side, Has wasted near him—bless'd him—kised—and died. Seek one more roof—l tell the naked truth— The wife has lost the husband of her youth ; Three blooming boys beside their father sleep, Where the scant sods scarce bide each mouldering heap She sees her last remaining floweret fade, Her withered hand no more can grasp the spade, And she has tottered lonely forth, to crave Alms—not for bread—but for her offspring's grave. " We do not bid you wear a brow of gloom, Or don the sable trappings of the tomb ; In meek contrition to the power Divine, Britain of late has knelt at every shrine ; From every rank the generous aid has flown, And caught its earliest impulse from the throne; Nor pauses here—but lands and oceans o'er Wafts the blest freight from far Columbia's shore Then let the spirit's pulses still beat free, For lettered musing, or for blameless glee; But while ye taste each bounteous gift of Heaven, Give—and give much—and much to you be given."

SOYER'S MODEL KITCHEN FOR THE POOR.—The Government having purchased this extraordinary kitchen, now in Dublin, for the south union in that city, it is to be removed at once from its present site, the Royal Barrack!! Esplanade, to that most densely populated district, the liberty of Dublin, the latter spot being more commodious and better adapted for the benevolent purpose in view. The good that has already been done is scarcely to be estimated, but some notion of the extent of usefulness may be gathered from the following extract of a letter from the resident manager to Monsieur Soyer :—" May 8, 1847.—As you are, I no doubt, anxio u s t o k now h ow t h e k i tchen progresses , have gone into the calculation, of which the following is tL. result :—We have on Monday and Tuesday cooked porridge and stirabout of rice and Indian meal for 31,270 person* using 4,8641 b. of meal, and 5,0341 b. of rice, and 1% cwt. of salt, at an expense of 11-16 of a penny per ration of 21b. each, making together 62,5401 b. Wednesday and to .day Wa made 22,760 portions of soup, using on Wednesday 4 cwt, of barley, 4 cwt. of flour, 2 cwt. of meat, 1 cwt. of salt, 141b * of fat, 241 b. of sugar, 21b. of pepper and ground spice, 1461 b. of onions, at an expen s e of 5-16 o f a p enn y p er ration of pint; and to-day (Thursday) we used 5761 b. of pea meal , 3 cwt. of flour, 3 cwt. of American pork, 31b. of pepper, 133 lb. of sugar, at an expense of 5-16 of a penny per ration- The quantity of fuel consumed is a quarter of a ton per day. By ten o'clock all the city depots were supplied. On Mel 11, I made 15,100 quarts of receipt No. 4, in your chari table cookery book ; it was excellent and praised by ever y body; General Sir R.
