lIEA MAJESTY'S THEATRE.— M. JULLIEN'S ANNUAL BALI MASQUE, TO NIGHT 'MONDAY, Nov. 30. _ I M. JULLIEN has the honour to announce that his GRAND ANNUAL BAL MASQUE will, this year, take place at Her :Majesty's Theatre, THIS EVENING, MONDAY, Nov. 30. M. Jullien's present Bal Masque will be given with the same splendour as has been displayed in those magnificent fetes he has presented to the public on previous occasions ; fetes which have unanimously been pronounced as unsur passed in Europe. It will take place at Her Majesty's Ti: eatre—an establishment so famous for the splendid balls which have been given within its walls under the most dis linonished patronage. M. Jullien is determined' that this, his Nineteenth Bal Masque in England, shall equal, if not excel, any of its predecessors in brilliancy and splendour. The Orchestra will comprise 110 musicians—Conductor, M. The newest and most fashionable music will be played, in cluding M, Jullien's " Indian Quadrille," which has achieved such signal success during the present season, and several new Waltzes, Polkas, and Quadrilles, composed expressly by 7M. Jullien for his Concerts and for this occasion. The dances will be regulated by 14 Maltres des Ceremonies, *hose arrangements will be strictly carried out. No one will be admitted except in evening dress or fancy costume. This regulation will be strictly adhered to. The whole theatre will be ornamented with garlands and wreaths of flowers, in gold, silver, and colours. For this pur 'Jose Messrs. Chabot and Co., who were charged with the decorations for the grand ball at the reception of the Empe ror Napoleon 111., Stuttgart, have been engaged at a great expense, and will arrive in England expressly to arrange, at Her Majesty's Theatre, a display, which will be seen for the first time in this country. Mr. Nathan, of Castle-street, Leicester-square, has been appointed Costumier to the Bal. Tickets for the ball, 10s. 6d. Tne prices of admission for spectators (for whom the audience portion of the theatre will he set apart) will be, dress circle, ss. ; gallery stalls, 2s. 6d. Private boxes from 3/. 3s. and upwards. Persons taking private boxes will have the privilege of passing to and from the hall-room without extra charge. Ticket for the ball, places, and private boxes, may be secured at the box-office of her Majesty's Theatre ; of the principal librarians and music sellers : and at Messrs. Jullien and Co.'s, 214, Regent-street. The doors will be open at half-past 9, and the dancing com mence at half-past 10. Refreshments will be supplied during the evening by M. Spite tux, of the Opera Colonnade, and at 1 o'clock the supper will be served. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE, GREAT CLASSICAL CONCERTS. A HAYDN NIGHT, A MOZART NIGHT, A BEETHOVEN NIGHT, A MENDELSSOHN NIGHT, and A WEBER NIGHT. 31. JULLIEN has the honour to announce that, in conse quence of the great number of persons unable to obtain admis sion during the last performance of the " Indian Quadrille," be has made arrangements to postpone his departure for the provinces, and to give a few more concerts at Her Majesty's Theatre. The great and unprecedented success attending the " Indian Quadrille," and the other works lately pro duced, has prevented M. Jullien giving those classical nights which ho was the first to introduce to the English public, and which have always been received with such distinguished favour by musical amateurs and the public generally. In order to comply with the repeated requests of his nume rous patrons, M. Jullien has arranged for a SECOND SERIES OF CONCERTS, which must necessarily be of very limited duration, owing to his departure on his provincial tour shortly before Christmas. They will commence on TUES DAY, Dec. I. It is M. Jullien's intention to give, during their continuance, a " Haydn Night," a " Mozart Night," a Beethoven Night," a " Mendelssohn Night," and a "Weber Night," On these occasions the first part of the programme will be selected solely from the works of one of these great masters. The second part will be varied as usual M. Jullien has the satisfaction of announcing that he ba.s.suceeeded in retaining the services of that popular vocalist, Madlle. JETTY TREFFZ. At the close of this Second Series of Concerts, Madlle. Jetty Treffz will leave London for Vienna, M. Jullien having been unable to induce her to stay, even for his provincial tour. Soloists of the highest celebrity are also engaged for each of the Classical Nights, including the celebrated pianiste, Miss Ara bella Goddard, and the Hungarian artiste, M. Edonard Re lnenyi, solo violinist to her Majesty. The magnificent decorations which were prepared for the Tal Masque will remain during the continuance of these Con certs. The whole theatre will be ornamented with wmatiis and garlands of flowers, in gold, silver, and colours. The decorations have been prepared by Messrs. Chabot and Co., who w re c arged with the decorations for the grand ball at the reception of the Emperor Napoleon 111. at Stuttgart, and who were engaged, at a great dipence, fer the express j urpose of arranging at her Majesty's Theatre a display which will be seen for the first time in this country. M. Jullien feels confident that he will receive, for his Second Series of Concerts, a continuance of that distinguished pa tronage and support which have already been so freely ac c•irded to him. A Mendelssohn Night will be given on Thursday next, December 3. THEATRE ROYAL, HAYMARKET. Lessee—Mr. J. B. Buckstone. MIS EVENING, to commence at Seven o'clock, with a new.

England has ample reason to be proud of her gallant soldiers. All have nobly discharged their arduous duties. No selfish or dastardly feeling prevailed, and nothing but the irresistible prestige attached to our arms could have carried the men through the more than Herculean labours they encountered, and which they carried to so glorious an issue. "Lucknow" is naturally the word that rises on every lip. The headquarters of the rebellion have been transferred from Delhi to Oude. Agra has been completely relieved, thanks to the gal lant GREATHED and his protecting and avenging column. The fugitives there may be considered as perfectly secure. But, although we feel just reliance on the chivalrous warrior who conducted his faithful Highlanders through so many difficul ties—who relieved the Residency against such overwhelming odds —we cannot say that Lucknow is yet secure. Judging from what has already been accomplished, we may, however, entertain well-founded antici pations that all will be right eventually, and that HAVELOCK and OUTRAN., with GREATHED, their efficient coadjutor, will leave nothing to be de sired. We cannot expect to obtain everything at a moment's notice, and certainly the state of affairs is very far better than it had been at any period since the first mutinous demonstration. But, although matters are thus fortunately circumstanced, we may, and Parliament must, inquire how it happened that the necessary reinforcements were so long delayed—that these fearful perils were sustained, and India saved before the arrival of a single soldier from England I It certainly was not the fault of " the Fourth Estate." With scarcely an exception, the public journals of all classes and varieties of political opi nions faithfully discharged their duty. There was nothing wanting on their part. They urged the dispatch of troops by - the overland route and Government steamers. But rcd•tapism prevailed ! Sir CHARLES WOOD could not endure any infrac tion of routine. He was devoted to the Cape route and sailing vessels, and all the improve ments of the present century were repudiated by the obstructor-general. Lord ELPHINSTONE strove to stimulate the Governor-General to action ; but there " was no hurry"—nothing requiring extraor dinary speed or energy. Lord CANNING was a worthy coadjutor of the First Lord of the Admiralty, and thus it happened that the fearful danger was occasioned. It can not, however, stop here. A stringent inquiry must be instituted into the conduct of some of the Queen's bad bargains. Delhi was completely our own ; and Captain HODSON, who was fortunate enough to capture the Brummagem 11locum and his turbulent sons and grandsons, had displayed the highest zeal and enthusiasm. His promptitude in inflicting well-merited punishment on these miscreants, and preventing the possibility of their escape, either through sympathising rebels or lenient civilians, is worthy of the greatest praise. He exhibited all through a total indifference to danger, similar to that by which our HAVELOCKS, NICHOL SONS, NEILLS, GREA.THEDS, and SALXELDS have made their names illustrious in the national archives. And we earnestly hope that he may receive a fair share of the honours to be bestowed on those who have so well merited them. It was reasonably expected that GREATHED would be enabled to join his forces with those of HAVELOCK and 01:1TRAM, at Lucknow, by the 30th of October, and with such a triumvirate at the head of seven thousand soldiers, there was nothing that could not be achieved. From Delhi to Agra was clear. Cawnpore was all right. Colonel WiLsox had defeated the rebels at Bithoor, and destroyed the residence of the infamous NANA SAHIB. All looks favourable, and we trust that the next mail will dispel any anxiety or uneasiness that may still be entertained respecting Lucknow, its helpless fugitives, and its truly noble garrison and their relievers. Between the blunder of the Emperor of the FRENCH and the plausibilities of the Times, it looks almost as if we were really to have a bona fide revival of the traffic in negroes. When the Tuilleries and Printing-house-square combine, it is time for those who do not relish the object of the conspiracy to bestir themselves. Hence the late deputation to Lord CLARENDON. Louis NA rorsEois has had, we believe, without the wish to possess it, the honour of resuscitating the slave trade by France ; and his ally of the press in England has the honour, which it has accepted with its eyes open, of writing up the cause of buying Africans, "in the cheapest market " we suppose, and liberating them„ - under the name of apprentices, in the dearest. Our readers will remember that the French EMPEROR granted a concession to a Monsieur REGIS, at Marseilles, to ship, under cer tain utterly futile restrictions, as many bodies and souls of Africans as he could find money to purchase, and take them off to the French sugar plantations. It was cleverly done, for when our Government drew attention to the consequences, the Imperial word was past. Probably it seemed to the EMPEROR nothing very outrageous to permit the deportation of natives of the tropics to another part of the torrid zone, there to enjoy such liberty as the weak and ignorant could possess in the hands of the strong and intelligen'. He had had no particular objection to deportation to tropical swamps of thousands of his own coun trymen, guilty of no crime whatever-•-tt least of none greater than men are here, who believe in the five points of the Charter. Plenty of mer• cantile sophisms were no doubt ready for the ear of the autocrat, and, above all, the pleasant assurance that planters in distant colonies would bless the name of the Emperor for Blacks put into their hands, to use pretty nearly as they pleased, in growing colonial produce. Our English contemporary, however, has not witnessed, in its own recollection, the transplant ing even of our felons to tropical plantations, there to grow us sugar, coffee, and tobacco, and at the cost of their lives. Here we paid twenty millions to the bankrupt West Indian slaveholders, and still pay more than half-a-million a-year inte rest for it. Besides that, we have paid to sup press the traffic nearly the same sum annually. Altogether we pay nearly a million a-year to be rid of slavery and the slave-trade, and now - EXPERTIIS, in large type in the Times, and the Times in large type itself, more than hint to us, pointing at the French and M. Regis, that we should go and do likewise. There is one little difficulty in the way to be sure—that the Eng lish public will not have it. They may be, as he maintain, pseudo-philanthropists, fooIR, blockheads, or any thing else in the ' eyes of EXPERTUS, still it is the plain fact that Englishmen will not have it. A whim, a craapterdicein, ntoiewhtn doubt; i, but if J ONATHAN i s to b e tale why not JOHN BULL be borne with in his ; ani Jourr 13tmr, has a very decided love of freedom, and an equal hatred of fetters and cat-o'-nine-tails ; and his hatred takes the seemingly noble and generous if ever so foolish form of liking even Blacks to be as free as himself. And we would rather, as the old phrase runs, err with Join i BULL, than be right with J ONATIIA.N, the Times and ExPERTurs, and with French merchants and Emperors too. There is another practical hitch. Lord PAL MBRSTON is a perfect JOHN BULL on this point. If ho have earnest convictions and sentiments on any subject it is just on this one of the slave trade. He would not mind a tussle with any Power to sustain his anti-slavery reputation. His heart would be in it, and while he is at the helm, EXPERTUS may whistle for his purchased Africans, unless, indeed, he were willing to ornament the yard-arm of some of her Majesty's cruisers, or of their prizes. And not only that, but any successor to Lord PALMER STON might as well quit office at once as bring in a bill for the purchase of Africans, to be liberated (if liberty it could be called), as indentured ap prentices to West India planters. No statesman could be found hero who would compromise his position for a moment by a step which would call forth at once enthusiastic opposition-meetings in every town in the kingdom. We feel ourselves, therefore, quite safe against what we are told by the oracle is the least of two evils. Bat is it so ? There is another oracle to which we all profane men, as professional politicians must be, yet accord a decent respect, which tells us "not to do evil that good may come," and pronounces that " the damnation is just" of those who do. Now it does look something like an e►il to go to the coast of Africa, to take them gay cotton fabrics, gay beads, and the like, and, of course, a fair proportion of powder and ball and mus kets, and inform the petty princes there that all these will we give them if they will only give us negroes in exchange. These chiefs are begin ning to grow us now vast quantities of palm oil and other produce. They will be equally ready, if we go the right way to work with them, to grow us cotton, when we might want a few millions less accommodation from our Bank, and stave off a crisis a year or two longer, even with our ricketty old Bank Act - . All this is, however, to be given up by them for the profitable, exciting, and pleasant amusement of negro-hunting. Mid night forages, village burning's, killing women, babes, and old men, and seizing the saleable per• sons and hurrying them off to the slave barra coons, is to be again the order of the day. Eng land is to aid in turning Africans into demons, and for what ? because Jamaicl planters are perverse and thriftless. 1 We believe that after all the complaints from Jamaica, the chief complainer of our former slave colonies, the real fault lies not with the negroes, but with their masters. When the twenty millions was paid the island was bankrupt. The smallest fraction of the money went there, the GLADSTONES and other English mortgagees or proprietors pocketed the money by tens and hundred of thousands, and the island was left penniless. Its lands had been ruinously exhausted by the improvident cultiva tion of silvery—indeed, as OLMSTED shows in the United States, slave cultivation always leaves the land exhausted, the greater part of Virginia itself being now like a primeval forest ; and it is no wonder if Jamaica became the same. The estates were abandoned, first, because they were too worn out to be cultivated, except by considerable outlay, and next because the money which England voted under the idea of supplying a labour-fund in Jamaica was all ab lsorbed in England. Added to this, the planters had too much pride to pay the negroes decent wages. They could not brook the sight of an inde pendent peasantry where they had been accustomed to flog them at pleasure, and they both mulcted the slave in wages and in taxes on imported provisions. QUASHEIN very naturally took to squatting, ficding he could grow enough to eat, and to buy all the clothing needed with the ther mometer at 100 deg. or more in the shade—he very naturally took care of himself, and left his closefisted and tyrannical old master to do the same. From the accounts of intelligent Americans, as well as Englishmen, who have visited the Island, we believe that nothing is wanted now but a fair amount of capital and skill, to make Jamaica really "the gem of the Antilles." At present it has a perverted and antiquated Government, no capital, no enterprise, tools of the rudest descrip tion ; vegetation there responds to irrigation as it does in India, and indeed everywhere in the tropics ; but, though we hear of droughts, we never hear of attempts to preserve the water o the deluging tropical rains. The real want is money and brains. Labourers are already there, and cheap enough if made the best of ; what is wanted is not kidnappers of fresh negroes, but men who have the sense to stimulate the industry of the negroes already in the island. The organ of " the hard calculators"—we shall no longer term them t` bullionists"—is displaying intense disappointment at the failure of the designs of the money-lending fraternity. It was too bad that the panic was not permitted to take its course, and properties sacrificed to the full extent of the wishes of these parties. It tells us that in 1841 Consols went down to 79. Here, then, was an opportunity lost. The hard-fisted gentry might have made nearly 10 per cent. more than they were enabled to do. They could not loot (as the hor rible Sepoys term it) to tho anticipated extent, and those who hoarded their gold, who would not purchase at the depreciated prices actually pro duced, lost the golden opportunity. The public were relieved before there was a general sacrifice of property and a transfer of trading capital to the money-lenders. For once they " missed their tip," or at least di4 not perform the feat so cleverly as they had anticipated. In one point respecting the Bank Charter Act, mirabile dicta, we fully concur with the hard calculator of Printing-house-square. We believe that it would be far better that the act should be entirely abrogated, than that it should be kept up until it had produced misery and distress amongst the trading and manufacturing in terests, and then be suspended just at the moment that the Bank itself required as a stance to save it from a very disreputable failure. If based on sound principles, it would have been good under any circumstances that could arise, "for everything or nothing." Twice, however, has it endangered the boasted principle of convertibility—twice has it brought the Bank to the verge of closing its doors and refusing cash payuient. We cannot, therefore, be again sub jected to the false and frivolous pretences on which it was originally introduced. It was not merely to ensure convertibility at all times, but to make money, or rather currency, scarce and dear, to enable designing men to create a panic, so that they might deprive others of their pro perty at little more than half its value. It is, in fact, the very antithesis of f ree trade, preventing the operation of credit in the most important paint, and paralysing industry. We have always perceived that the object was to iuttoduce "a purely metallic currency," as the Times is pleased to designate it. But it was impossible to do so. The enormous amount of taxation, the terrible In trden of the public debt, and the great amount of. commercial transactions, prevent the possibility of carrying out the LONDON, MONDAY, NOV. 30, 1657. The complete intelligence from India by the Overland Mail fully corroborates the brief tele grams Which have appeared in The Sun, and on WI have al rea d y commen t e d.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 30, 1857. scheme. We might just as well think of going back to a state of barter—of the butcher, and baker, and tailor, and shoemaker ex changing the different articles—as restricting ourselves to bullion. If there is to be credit in any form there must be credit money. We may just as well prohibit bills of exchange as bankers' notes. What would be said if bills were inter dicted unless the drawers and acceptors could prove that they had balances lodged at their bankers at the time of their formation sufficient to ensure that they would be duly honoured at maturity. The industrious classes must not be seriously damaged, in order either to gratify the ridiculous freak of having gold sovereigns circulating from hand to hand in place of 11. notes, or the wicked designs of those who would grind the working population to the dust in order to gratify there own cupidity, and to obtain exorbitant and usurious discount for their money. We have not a metallic currency. There are some 3.2,000,0001. issued in the United Kingdom, against which there is not a single ounce of gold. We say then, with the Times, let us be consis tent, and have a purely metallic or unconvertible currency, and we say so the more willingly, las cause we are convinced that the former could not last for a single week, and that the system must necessarily fall to the ground. THE CURRENCY. TO THB EDITOR OF TIEN SII/f. Sin, It now appears to be the policy of the Times and the penny imitators, which think they gain importance by following, like lap-dogs, in the wake of the " nun derer," to try to draw argument out of the gross atm, of commercial credit, which some of the late failures have brought to light, to beguile the weak-minded and short-sighted p ation of their readers into the belief that all who are not willing to bow their necks to the 0 ierstone yoke, and e-übmit to be longer robbed with impunity by the " cool calculators," are wishful to 14 - held their abuses, and to bolster up unsound trade by an un.afe and unlimited issue of notes, but they omit to inform their readers on what grounds they decide, that because Nos. 1,2, and 3 have abused the c.infidence and credit of other., that wee placed in them, and brought ruin on themselves and losses on those who confided in them, Nos. 4 to 100, the large body of the honourable and solvent traders of the country, whose business has been upright, and whose transactions legitimate, are to quietly submit to have their. property and merchandise brought down to 24. 3d. of its value, and be compelled (by an artificial usaohino, invented and governed by those who profit by it—Peel's Bank Act of 1844) to pay two, three, or four times the national price for any usual and legitimate accommoia tion they require, in order that Overstone, " Cool Cal culator" and Co. may be allowed to go on undis turbed in the process of fattening themselves more and more out of the very vitals of hone st and honourable commerce ; keeping by intimida tion and bluster the monetary laws of the country, subservient as they at present are, to their own selfi-h purposes of periodically smothering the bees, and steal ing their honey, making the rich man richer, the poor man poorer, and entirely tucking in the means of the middle and industrious classes.

Notwithstanding the slight improvement in our monetary prospects which has taken place during the last few days, trade in the manufacturing dis tricts of the north of England continues very much depressed. Some time must necessarily elapse, and money must decline to a more moderate rate, be fore business is actively resumed and the mills are again in foe operation. On the whole, this department has withstood the crisis far better than might have been expected ; but for many months past, the manufacturers have • proceeded very cautiously, in consequence of the dearness of raw materials, the dulness of foreign markets, and the high terms that have been charged for discount. The American panic, the cessation of orders, and, of what is of still greater importance, viz., remittances, have hid a very injuri ous influence, but the failures thus far have not been so numerous and extensive as many at first predicted. Pdhaps it is too early yet to determine whether the full results have been re vealed, hut as the force of the crisis has been broken, it is hoped that many horses whose embar rassments are only temporary may now be enabled to escape absolute suspension. While, however, it is most desirable that such firms should retrieve their position, a hope is expressed that really insolvent houses, such as have been trans acting an enormous business on an insecure foundation —and unfortunately this class is numerous—will be brought down for the gene ral welfare of trade. The facilities offered by Joint Stock Companies have enabled these firms to create a❑ artificial appearance of prosperity, and to force the prices of goods and produce to a fictitious range. While such operations may in many cases have proved very remunerative, they have proved detrimental to legitimate traders whose engage ments have been on a moderato scale, and at the same time they hare inflicted many unnoessary bur Jens upon the consuming classes. The daily influx of gold into the Bank of England, by enabling the Directors to grant extended accom modation to the mercantile public, is viewed with general satisfaction. Under the present system, this movement more than any other, is. considered encouraging. Besides, the remittances in route from Australia, steady imports from St. Petersburg are expected, while it is also considered not impro bable that shipments of sovereigns, die., may be henceforth reg► larly made from New York. On Saturday 106,0001. was sent into the Bank, con sisting chiefly of Russian gold, and a further parcel is expected to follow to-day. The accounts from Australia are very satisfactory as far as the yield of gold is concerned. In the &et nine months of the present year the shipments were 1,880,230 ounces, and as the -various mines were being most successfully worked the remit tances during the remainder of the year were likely to be very large. Several new discoveries had been made, and in some instances they are ex pected to prove ezepedingly rich. There is still a good inquiry for discounts in Lombard-street and at the Bank of England, but as the supply continues to increase bills are more readily negotiated. The relief thus afforded is pro ductive of much good, several firms who were em barrassed being now enabled to surmount their difficulties. The Indian and Australian Mails have been in course of delivery this morning. The improvement in the raarket for English Securities has continued, and the quotations in dicate considerable buoyancy. A large business has been done on speculative account, and the tendency is still very favourable. The improved aspect of monetary and commercial affairs, the sales of gold to the Bank, the discontinuance of failures, and the easier condition of the money market, all tend to strengthen the market, and to encourage the Bulls in their operations. Consols for money, and the 7th proximo, have been 911 4, 91i I, and 91f The present price is 911 f, and for the January account 924 The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced are 90i 1.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) CRIMINAL COURT OF APPEA.L, TEE LATE PICTURE ➢RAUD CASE. -THE QUEEN ♦. CLOBS. This was an appeal against a conviction at the Cen, tral Criminal Court. The prisoner, a piotnre.dealer, was indicted and tried at the last October sessions of the Central Criminal Court for obtaining money under false pretences The indictment contained several counts. The jury acquitted the prisoner on the count charging him with obtaining money under false pretences, but found him guilty of the other counts, which charged him with having a painting in his possession with the name of Linnell on it, an artist of celebrity residing at Itedhill, in Surrey, and that the prisoner well knowing the picture to be a copy, fraudulently represented to Mr. Fitzpatrick that the painting was an original and sold it to him for 1301. The learned counsel for the prisoner urged, in arrest of judgment, that the counts on which the prisoner 101 been found guilty did not amount to a criminal offence. Judgment was accordingly suspended for the decision of the Court. The Court quashed the conviction, on the ground that the second count on which - tha prisoner had been con victed was faulty. --- r COURT OF BAT IRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commise,bner GoWburn.)
