DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Every department of this establishment is thronged with artistes, of all descrip tions, actively engaged in making preparations for the new Oriental spectacle, and to give effect to the extraordinary conceptions of the popular music of " the Desert," by that celebrated composer Felician David, which has never been illustrated with dramatic truthfulness in this, or any other country, and to carry out which bold design, the depth of Drury -lane stage is peculiarly adapted. To give some idea of the vastness of the attempt, forty train carriages are engaged at the expense of 2001. to convey the animals, con sisting of stupendous elephants, and twelve camels, to London, on their way to the theatre ; a troop of sixty horse is also to assist, and a chorus of one hundred voices] The Leicester Mercury gives a startling account of the magnifi cent Mammoth carriages, built in that town for the recep tion of the enormous equestrian establishment, and in which they are to be escorted from the terminus to old Drury on Monday. THE THEATRE AND THE CRITICS.—A Berlin cor respondent of the Leipsic Gazette gives an amusing instance of misunderstanding between a theatrical manager and the critics. Kustner, the manager, for some offence, withdrew several free tickets from the litterateurs. No sooner had he done this, however, than he began to dread the consequences. To make himself secure, he has addressed a note to the critics, threatening that if they make any further attacks upon him he will resort to the severest mode of punishment —he will publish the mercenary letters he has received. GLASGOW PIG IRON TRADE.—The trade has par taken of the general depression, and prices must be quoted a shade lower; there are, however, few makers disposed to do business just now, and the few transactions that have taken place this week have been among dealers only. We quote prices at 71s nett cash for 3 stone 71bs.—National -Advertiser of Saturday. GLASGOW COTTON MARKET.—The dullness in the cotton market which we have before noticed still continues, and prices of American and Surat have given way 1 4 per lb. since this day week. The demand is very moderate, and all from the trade.—National Advertiser. THE LORD RECTOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF Gtascovr.—We regret to learn that our city and University are not is be honoured, during the approacging adjournment of Parliament for the Easter holidays, by a visit from Lord John Russell, th e new l y e l ecte d L or d R ector of the Uni versity. His Lordship has, we are informed, acquainted the authorities of the U n i vers i ty, t h at i n consequence of the pressureof public b us i ness, he will not be able to visit Glas gow until the conclusion of the session ; and we understand the present a rrangement to be, that the installation will take place on the Ist of November next. —Glasgow Argus.

There- fore Government was no lunger justified in amelio• rating the agonies of famine by the open dis• tribution of trans-Atlantic grain. Besides all this, the energies of the empire had become to a certain ex tent, that is to say to a certain comparative extent, enervated by the calamities produced by the visita tion of 1845. Therefore we maintain, with all the emphasis of conviction, that Lord JOHN RUSSELL was without the opportunities necessary to enable his Ad- ministration - to emulate the generosity of Sir ROBERT PEEL, and that the statistics of their commis- sariat exertions in the sister island during 1845-46, and 1846-47, cannot with any fairness or decency be placed in juxtaposition. When a Premier is surrounded by so many appalling embarrassments ; when his intellectual and physical energies are taxed to contrive the means of assuaging the sorrows of Ireland; when his Cabinet is demanding from Parlia ment 10,000,0001. of money for the relief of Irish destitution, and his voice is tuned with a persuasive eloquence in behalf of the afflicted _ _ children of Hibernia ; when the favourite schemes of the Ministry—for instance, education and the sanatory system—are neglected to give precedence to mea- sures relating to that country; when all the ardour, all the talent, and all the time of the Ministers are concentrated upon the wretched- ness of the Irish millions —it is cruel, it is ungrateful, it is base, it is criminal to impute to the Government the deaths of the famine••stricken. Peasantry of Ireland ! remember the Poor-laws, remember the 10,000,0001., remember the 50,000/. for seed, remember the Public Works, remember HANSARD ! and be grateful. The Government have well redeemed the pledge given on the discussion of the motion of the Hon. and Gallant Officer the Member for Carlow, during the past session. The subject of limited enlistment in the army has indeed received . mature and attentive consideration, and an admirable measure has in conse quence been brought forward. It is impossible to peruse the able statement of the Right Hon. the Secretary at War without being convinced by his reasoning that the alteration is desirable, not merely on the grounds of justice and humanity to our gallant soldiers, but also on that of expediency, and that, even without adverting in the slightest degree to the feelings and wishes, to the moral or social condition of our military brethren, it should be effected on public grounds alone, even if other and higher motives did not exist. Heretofore it had been too much the fashion to regard the soldier as a mere ma chine, who was to be kept in subjection by terror alone ; he was looked upon as a being of an inferior creation, of degraded character and debased habits, upon whose honourable feelings it was impossible to rely, who could not be influenced by kind treatment, upon whom rewards would be utterly thrown away This delusion was mainly propagated and kept up by persons who had, perhaps, themselves attained high rank in the service, but who, unfortunately, were so prejudiced on the question of military discipline, and the means by which it might be maintained, that they regarded with horror any innovation on the anti quated, and we trust we may speedily have it our power to say obsolete, system. Although in other respects men of humanity and intelligence, they advocated the continuance of the brutalizing and abominable torture of the " cat," and the infliction of even capital punishments, on the most trivial and in sufficient grounds. In this respect they could not admit that the present generation was as wise as their forefathers. They arrogated to themselves the sole right of judging the question, as if civilians, no matter how learn-d or acute, were not competent to form an opinion on the subject. They seemed to think that a soldier was not flesh and blood like other men, not to be acted on by the same rules that in %mead ordinary mortals, but that he was a being for tie command we hold over the navigation of the Indus, and for the openings we have acquired to an extensive' range of commerce which will assuredly be prosecuted by the enterprising spirit of Bri tish mere hants on the five rivers irrigating the Punjaub. " Courage," writes Sir CHARLES NAPIER, " may win a battle, but it is some thing more than courageous when a victorious army turns a conquered people into friends and peaceable subjects! " Such is the happy sketch of Sinde, and the inappreciable consequences, military and com mercial, attendant upon its conquest, which the General gave to his army on the eve of its being broken up. Considering how short a period has elapsed since the termination of the campaign of Meanee and Hyderabad on the one hand, and that on the Sutlej en the other, the knowledge we already possess of the fruits of our victories is gratifying in the extreme. Esto perpetua. During the discussion which took place on Monday evening upon the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill, the con duct of Government in diminishing the distribution of food to the destitute peasantry was severely criticised. Now, we submit it to any dispassionate man, whether the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn, or the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Shrewsbury, are justified in attributing the awful mortality which has recently resulted from starvation to the inactivity or the par simony of the Executive ? They argue that, because the amount of meal distributed by Government in November and December was less by the enormous quantity of 22,618,068 lbs. than that distributed during the preceding June and July, when the system of the foregoing Administration was still in operation, the Ministry must necessarily be liable to the im putation of penuriousness as compared with the former Cabinet. Plainly and distinctly we deny the accuracy of the conclusion. In reviewing the mea sures adopted by the present Government, it must never be forgotten that when Sir ROBERT PEEL caused ',immense cargoes of maize to be imported from the United States, and vended at an insignifi cant price to the famishing Irish, he was enabled to do so without danger of evil consequences by three cir cumstances which it was impossible could occur afterwards. First of all, it must be observed that the Right Honourable Baronet was peculiarly aided in his munificent intentions by the fact of the dearth being unprecedented for several years previously ; secondly, he was aided by the flourishing condition into which he had, through his splendid financial policy, fostered the national revenue; and, thirdly, from the scarcity being sudden and unexpected, he was materially aided by the secresy which that sud denness imparted to his negotiations with the American corn factors. Those three circumstances combined alone enabled Sir ROBERT PEEL to afford Ministerial assistance, in the shape of provisions, without exercising the most disastrous influence upon the Irish market ; and those three circum stances could no more be conjoined for the conve nience of the Executive on the following year, than our globe could reach its perihelium in the course of two consecutive months for the simple gratification of an experimental astronomer. It is frivolous, therefore, and unjust, to draw any comparison between the proceedings of the Commissariat Department through out Ireland under the Peel Administration and under the Russell Administration. When Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his colleagues assumed office there had been, and there still con tinued to be, enormous drains upon the Exchequer; there was the possibility of a diminution in the revenue from the wholesale reduction in the imposts upon foreign merchandise ; there were the subsiding surges of the railway panic still operating against wholesome enterprise, still damping the courage of speculators in the money market, depreciating the value of funded property, and rendering cash almost as scarce as potatoes. Therefore the national re venue was by no means in as auspicious and flourish ing a condition when Lord JOHN RUSSELL became Prime Minister as it had been before the vegetable murrain had devastated the islands, and before the railway mania had demented nine-fifteenths of the population. As the autumnal season of 1846 ad vanced every one anticipated a repetition of the potato disease, and a consequent repetition of the scarcity in Ireland. The markets of the United States were prepared for an immediate rise on the receipt of any proposition from the British Government for supplies of Indian wheat. The whole emergency, indeed, was expected by the multitudes not only in this kingdom, but throughout Europe and beyond the Atlantic. In terference on the part of the Executive at such a mo of an incomprehensible Attire, that could not be understood or sppreciatd by any who had not actually themselves spentsome time in the service. Whenever, therefore, the subject was broached or alluded to, either in the Legislature or in private conversation, it was fathwith pooh, pooped by these gentlemen, who, Nit hout being able to ad vance any tangible argunent or sufficient reason for their assertions, were cottented with saying, "Ex cuse me, but I have sexed, and I must understand the matter better than ,he Hon. Member, and I assure you what he propees will not at all answer." And by these means, andon such ridiculous assump tions, all reform and inprovement in our naval and military system was opposed and retarded for many years. Happily, of late years although too many of the class still exist, many Equally gallant and distin guished officers are to be found who have dis carded their prejudices ani brought all their energies to bear, in order to amelorate the condition of the more humble companions of their toils and dangers. The advocacy of such persons is peculiarly advan tageous, much weight is attachable to erery opinion to which they give utterance. They offer sufficient reasons, and will condescend to explain to a mere civilian why the desired iterations should at once be acceded to or rejected, or how far an experiment may be tried. Private individuals also have used their own judgment, and will not now be silenced by the mere ipse dizit cr uncorroborated assertion of these hot-headed veterans. Changes have conse quently been effected, which, so far from ruining the service, have produced the most beneficial results even in their infancy, and from which we may augur still more favourable consequences when fully ma tured and developed. The horrible lash has prac tically been abolished. The soldiers are educated to a certain extent, and their minds in some degree cultivated, and yet obedience is still enforced and obtained, and we may soon expect to see the position of a private ..knor anvied and looked up to, and many more than are actually required anxious to obtain admission into the ranks. It is by a judi cious system of rewards, by removing many of the petty vexations by which soldiers are harassed and tormented without the attainment of any advantage, by making their barrack-rooms more comfortable, by educating and cultivating their minds and refining their tastes, by convincing them that there are rewards in store for deserving men ; that they may by exem plary conduct aspire, with a fair prospect of success, to filling higher stations at some future time; and that if dissatisfied with their situations, there is at least a time to which they may look forward when they will be released from their thraldom, and be enabled to return to their families and friends, and renew their stations as English subjects and free citizens, that these objects can be attained. In the majority of instances the man will be rejoiced to be permitted to remain in the ranks ; if otherwise, the service gets rid of one unsuited for, and dis gusted with, a military life ; in fact, the enlistment for a limited term, as provided by the present Bill, is one of the chief means by which other improvements can be effected—and should there even be some ob jections to the measure, as asserted by its opponents, we may say, in the words of that distinguished and gallant general, and excellent man, Sir CHARLES NAPIER, " These reasons all convince me that the inconveniences attending short periods of service, are trivial when compared to the great advantages that it produces in raising the military character and abolishing the lash." HONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. I i (From The Sun of last Night.) The Cotton mark e t at Li verpool yesterday was firmer. Sales 6,000 bales, including 1,000 for export, and 500 on speculation.

There were, however, bat three proprietors in attendance when the minutes of the last Court were read. No doubt seems to be entertained, but that the bonus will be carried by a very large majority. There are a few dissentients, we hear, to the measure, who think the wisest policy is to strengthen the " rest," rather than diminish it. Soon after four o'clock the result will be known, and will be duly communicated. The letters by the East India and China mail were de livered this morning. Their contents, as far as can be as certained, are generally more favourable relative to the pro spects of trade. There is very little news by the Talbot from Rio de Ja neiro.

They will be glad to hnd that his expedition has been broken up. Peace and plenty continued to be the lot of the whole of South America.

The measure was opposed by Senor LUZURIAGA, and General CorcH♦ refused to vote. The QUEEN had sent for Senor PACHECO, and requested him to form an Administration, but he had refused to do so. MADRID BOLSA, MARCH 16.—The Three per Cents. were done at 30; for cash; the Fi ve per C ents. at 19 ; the Debt without interest at 5:1 ; and the Coupons at 17. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The Minister of the Interior made on Saturday a most important communication to the Municipal Council of Paris. He informed them the Baron JAMES DE ROTHSCHILD had appropriated 5,000,000 f. (200,0001. sterling) to the purchase of corn and flour for the supply of the inhabitants of Paris. The corn and flour is to be purchased in foreign countries, and sold in Paris at the prices of the day. Should there be any loss on the transaction, such loss will be borne by the Baron ROTHSCIIILD, — shouId there be profit, such profit to be devoted to the purchase of bread, to be distributed gratuitously among the poor of Paris. This will give Paris thirty-five days' consumption in addition to the eighty days' consumption already in store. But while Paris is thus amply provided for, - - - the provinces are suffering. Outrages of a very serious character have taken place in the department of the Loiret, and notwithstanding the presence of large bodies of troops, plunder has taken place to a considerable extent. On one occasion a detachment of .50 Infantry and 25 Hussars were so hemmed in by the people as to be incapable of moving. While they were thus put hors de combat, boat loads of grain were carried off by the peasantry. The following letter, dated St. Malo, March 17, is published in the Journal des Debats : " A scene of confusion, occasioned by the imprudence of the British Consul, Mr. Thompson, took place at our last corn market. A sack of flour of 50 kilogrammes, offered at first for sale at 32francs, having been subsequently bought by Mr. Thompson for 35 francs, a mob immediately congregated and cried, Down with the Englishman! Down with the forestaller !' The gendarmes on duty immediately re paired to his assistance, and invited him to retire from the market, where the people were becoming rather riotous. Mr. Thompson, w h o scarcely understands F renc h, f o ll owe d the gendarmes, an d requested them to come to hi s h ouse t o explain the affair to his family. There he felt the impru dence he had committed, and expressed the regret he ex perienced. The prices subsequently declined in the mar ket, and a few hours afterwards the same sack of flour sold for 26f." The .Riforme mentions a trifling fall of 18 cen times in the price of flour in the Paris market on Sa turday. The transactions were calm and the sales difficult. The price of the sack of flour of 1.57 kilo grammes continued from 117 f. to I'2sf, according to the quality. Mademoiselle MARS, the greatest of French ac tresses, died on Saturday. She was in her 69th year, having been born on th e 19t h D ec. , 1778. .... I The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage de I'Opera on Sunday at 79f. 71c., after having been at 79f. 15c.

THE LATE MURDER IN SHOREDITCH.—Monday Mr. Baker held an.inquest at the Old King John, Holywell lane, on the body of Willi am G o b art, w h o was shot on Wed nesday night last by Thomas Brooks, now in custody, in Hare•alley, Shoreditch. The evidence adduced was little more than a recapitulation of that given before the magis trate, and which has already appeared in our columns. The jury ultimately returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against the primer. The difficulties with the Turkish Government still continue. In reply to the letter of King OTno, the SULTAN desires that the settlement of the differences may be left to the two Cabinets; and the Turkish Minister insists that COLETTI shall apologise to M. MUSSURUS. Nothing shows more completely the subjection of the unfortunate QUEEN to the tyranny of the French Government than the present Ministerial crisis. She is anxious above all things to free herself from the French yoke, and as a first step would fain get rid of her present Afrancesado Ministry. Her MAJESTY wishes to appoint General SERRANO Prime Minister, and immediately the Afrancesado Cabinet attempt to banish him to Navarre, by making him Captain- General of the province. Her MAJESTY refuses to sign the decree, and the Ministers threaten to resign. The QUEEN would be but too happy to accept their resignation ; but, after a visit to the French Embassy, a change comes over the Duke of SOTOMAYOR and his colleagues. They will not resign. They appoint SERRANO Inspector of Troops in Navarre, and on his refusing to accept the appointment bring him to trial for insubordination; and, backed by French influence, set the QUEEN at defiance, who cannot (such is the degraded state to which Louis P HILIPPE h as by his intrigues reduced Spanish statesmen) get any any one to brave the vengeance of an unprincipled and anti-national faction by countersigning their dismissal. Panning LONDON. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 1847 The Lords met at Five o'clock. Earl GREY stated that the House of Assembly of New Brunswick had voted 1,2501. for the relief of the dis tressed population in Ireland and Scotland. The NOBLE EARL then gave notice that he should on Tuesday next move the adjournment of the House to the 13th of April. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the cre ditors of the Spanish Government praying that the House would take measures to enforce the payment of the debt due to them from Spain. The Earl of CLARENDON said that the Government was making representations to Spain on the subject, and he knew that the Spaniards were an honourable people, and that they did not sanction the proceedings of their Government. The Drainage of Lands Bill passed through Com mittee, after a short conversation, Earl WICKLOW suggested that the adjournment for the Easter recess should be to the Thursday, instead of to the Tuesday. Earl GREY would consult his colleagues on the subject. Their Lordships then adjourned. The Commons met at Four. Mr. SPOONER said that he was requested by his col league, Mr. MUNTZ, to postpone his motion respecting the brewers of the midland counties to the 13th April. Mr. ROMILLT brought in a Bill for the better ad ministration of the charitable trusts of Roman Catholics, which was read a first time. On the motion of Viscount SANDON, a Select Com mittee was ordered to be appointed for the purpose of considering the present state of our commercial relations with China. Mr. C. O'BRIEN moved for the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the conduct of Capt. Wynn during his employment in the county of Clare in No vember and December, 1846, and January, 1847. Mr. LABOUCHERE suggested that the motion should be withdrawn until the papers relating to Capt. Wynn should be before the House. He did not only object to the inquiry, but he did object to the introduction into the motion, if any words prejudging the case and criminatory of a public officer, who had a very arduous duty to perform under circumstances of difficulty. A desultory conversation followed, and, ultimately, the original motion was withdrawn, and an amended one, in conformity with the suggestions of Sir R. PEEL, agreed to. Various returns, on the motion of several Hon. Mem bers, were then ordered. Mr. BRIGHT protested against the national fast ap pointed for this day, he knew that it would not be at tended to by nine tenths of the population, and would therefore be of no effect. He thought instead of the proclamation doing honour to the DEITY, it only showed the utter want of wisdom in those who framed it, and was rather calculated to cherish past superstitions, and vncourage intideity, than to advance the cause of Christianity. Mr. LABOUCHERE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend and continue an Act of the last session of Par- liament for making provision, until the Ist day of September, 1847, for the treatment of poor persons afflicted with fever in Ireland. The House then went into Committee on the Poor•law Irsland) Bal. Clause 9, after a slight discussion, was agreed to. On clause 10 being proposed, Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL moved the amendment of which he had given notice, the object of which was to place the rating of thepoor not upon the electoral,or other union divisions of parishes, but upon unions generally. A discussion took place on this clause, eventually the Committee divided, when there appeared— For the clause For the amendment Majority -95 On clause 11 being proposed, Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN moved its omission. Mr. LABOUCHERE defended the clause. On a division he numbers were— For the clause Against it Majority —6l The other orders of the day being disposed of, the House, at a few minutes before Twelve o'clock, ad journed till Thursday at noon. The intelligence which has reached us by the Overland Mail from India presents us with nothing of stirring interest. Here and there we have ac counts of isolated outbreaks and skirmishes, happily of so insignificant a character as to be unworthy of notice. For these occasional miniature disturbances, all who are conversant with the heterogeneous mate rials of which the social fabric of the vast Eastern Peninsula is composed must be pre pared. It is, however, gratifying to collect from the latest intelligence that, in the main, general tranquillity prevails wherever British rule is established, as well as that, beyond the frontiers of our dominion, there is nothing which menaces the maintenance of peace. The state of the Punjaub continues to correspond to the anticipations which we long since entertained. British valour having triumphantly subdued the warlike, but rapacious and unpatriotic soldiery, which held that province under an odious military subjection, the people now regard the influence we have gained with the utmost satis faction, and expect from its continuance the enjoyment of prosperity which, but for our successful interventions they might have sighed after in vain; and as the MAHARAJA will not attain his majority for eight years, there is little doubt that the interim will effec tually serve to strengthen the bonds of attachment between the population and the British supremacy. Raja LALL SINGH has been removed to the fort of Agra, and the RANEE is said to be no longer incon solable for the loss of her paramour. The military reductions, to the importance of which we drew the attention of our readers a month since, as affording the strongest presumption that the Governor- General has the fullest confidence in the continued ces sation of hostilities, are satisfactorily progressing. Upon the receipt of the order for diminishing the number of troops in Sinde to the strength of an ordinary garrison of a frontier province, Sir CHARLES NAPIER issued a general order from his head quarters at Kurrachee, in which he reminded the troops, in the inspiriting language peculiar to the pen of a NAPIER, of the important military and commer cial objects which were secured by the conquest of that provin ce , an d h onourably paid the tribute of his admiration to the fidelity and prowess of th e troops, and also to the abilities of those connected with the civil service , by whose conjoined exertions such br illia h n i ts sef u i ccesses . had been achieved. himself, To Sir C. N APIER undaunted valour in the first insta nce , and to to herget energetic c the large s adminis tration in the next, will posterity accord t share of their admiration for " th e glory of freeing an or our necessaryo conquest," f or t h e north-we s t f ront i er, security y d w co e u h n i t v r e y o b b y a taicedf 92% BUSINESS; CLOSEDPAID.

LYCEUM THEATRE. TO THE EDITOR OF -THE SUN. SIR--A paragraph in reference to the Lyceum Theatre rppeared in The Sun of Friday last, quoted from the Era of the 14th instant, which observes, speaking of the rent, " The latest demand, report says, is enormous, and equal to that asked for Drury-lane. The present lessees have determined upon rejecting such an ad vance," &c. Allow me to say that no advance whatever has been proposed. - The rent was fixed and the agreement signed on the sth of February, 1845. On the 12th instant an application was made by Mt ssrs. Strutt and Keeley, the lessees, for a reduction of that rent which, not being acceded to, led to their giving notice on the following day of determining their tenantcy. _ As report speaks of Mr. Strutt as one of the propri etors of the Era, it must be a matter of surprise how a statement so erroneous should have originated in that paper.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, 31, Golden-squ are , M arc h 23, 1847. 5. W: ARNOLD. Tim COUNTY COURTS.—The District County Court of Westminster, which includes the inhabitants west of Temple -bar and Holborn-bars, south of Oxford-street. to Bayswater, across Hyde -park to Sloane -street, and from thence to the river by Chelsea Hospital, was opened (at pre sent in Castle•street, Leicester-square) on Wednesday last, and will be open every day (Sundays excepted) between the hours of 10 o'clock and 4. In this court and the other county courts just established. all actions for debt or damage under 201., that is for moneys owing or matters of contract; all cases of assault or injury to the person or goods in which the damages claimed do not exceed 20/. ; all matters in dispute between masters and servants, or masters and workmen, under 20/., may be tried and disposed of in less than 14 days. A debt of 20/. may be recovered for less than 21., which the defendant would have to pay with the debt, and smaller amounts at a proportionately less expense if parties attend in person. The great advantage of these courts to the public over the old system will be the expeditious mode in which business will be disposed of, the small amount of expense attending the proceedings, and that persons may see to their own business (if so disposed) instead of employing at torneys or agents at a great expense, and often incurring, from negligence or dishonesty, the ultimate loss of their money. The evils thus counteracted had got to such a head that parties frequently rather consider their debts under 201. as bad debts than go to law with the forlorn hope of reco. vering them.

This day's list afforded rather more racing than was anticipated; and, considering the circumstance under which it was increased, and showery state of the wea• then, more than was desirable; the first race having come off, a field of fourteen horses showed at the post for the Althorp Park Stakes, the greatest number ever as sembled together for a two-year-old stake at Northamp ton, and therefore well calenlated to give eclat to the meeting. Unfortunately, through some unaccuuntaule blundering of the flags, tour of the fourteen were pulled up immediately atter starting, their jockies concluding it to be a false start, They were—Beverlac, Little Reif Riding Hood, Mother Cary's Chicken, and Lucy Ashton. The other ten ran the distance, and a very fine race between Woodcraft and the Sheriff terminated in favour of the latter by a bead. On returning to the stand to weigh, a cry of "No start " greeted the jockies, and such, it is said, it was declared to be by the starter. In consequence, all but Publican and Protection, who were " convinced," proceeded to the post again, and, as it is asserted, on their own responsibility, and even without receiving_ any order from th e s t arter , starte d a second time, and ran the race through. saving two or three, who did not get off, when Beverlac won by a length, The Sheriff second. Meanwhile the starter and his assistant were called before Lord Spencer and Lord W. Powlett, when it appeared that the starter lowered his flag, and that it was answered by a similar movement in advance, and that the starter's flag was immediately raised again, but not the other. Upon this evidence it was decided that the first start was valid, and the Sheriff the winner of the race. The matter, liewever, is not finally settled ; Mr. Green claims the race, on the ground that the first was pronounced by the starter to be "no start," and that the second was the valid one. The steward, on receiving the protest, gave directions that the stakes shall ,be withheld, and ha ve d eterm i ned on submitting it to the Jockey Club. This untoward event was the only flaw in the management, but it is a serious one, and we have no doubt that it will lead to the appointment of Mr. Elibburd as starter. So onerous an office ought not to be in the hands of any but experienced hands. Apart from this afiair, there was nothing in the racing to call for a remark.

The foilt,wing art extracts from Mr. Disraeli's new work : JERUSALEM' " The broad moon lingers on the summit of Mount Olivet, but its beini has long lett the g.triten of Gethsemane and the tomb of Absalom, th e Waters ot K. , dr n, and the dark abyss cf Jelmsliapl.iit. Full falls its splendour,. however, on the opposi+e coy, vivid and defined in its silver blaze. A lofty wall, with turrets, and towers, and f requent gates , un d u lates with the unequal ground which it covers, as it encircles the lost capital of Jehovah. It is a city of hills, far more famous than those of Rome : for all Europe has heard of Sion and of Calvary, while the Arab and the Assyrian, and the tribes and nations beyond, are as ignorant of the Capitolian and Aventine Mounts as they are of the Malvern or the Chiltern Hills. " The broad steep of ZiOn, crowned with the tower of David; nearer still, Mount Moriah, with the gorgeous tem ple of the God of Abraham, but built, alas! by the child of Hagar, and not by Sarah's chosen one; close to its cedars and its cypresses, its lofty spires and airy arches, the moon light falls upon Bethesda's pool; further on, entered by the gate of St. Stephen's, the eye, though 'tis the noon of night, traces with ease the Street of Grief, a long winding ascent to a vast cupulaed pile that now covers Calvary, called the Street of Grief; because there the most illustrious of the human, as well as of the Hebrew race, the descendants of, King David, and the di v i ne S on o f t h e most favoure d o r women, twice sank under that burden of suffering and shame which is now throughout all Christendom the emblem of triumph and of honour; passing over groups and masses of houses built of stone, with terraced roofs or s urmounted with small domes, we r eac hi the hill of Salem, where Melehitedek built his mystic citadel ; and still remains the hill of Scopast where Titus gazed upon Jerusalem on the eve of his final assault. Titus destroyed the temple. The religion of Judxa has in turn subverted the fanes which were raised to his father and to himself in their imperial capital; and the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, is now worshipped before every altar in Rome. "Jerusalem by moonlight ! 'Tis a fine spectacle, apart from all its indissoluble associations of awe and beauty. The mitigating hours soften the austerity of a mountain land scape magnificent in outline, however harsh and severe in detail; and, while it retains all its sublimity, removes much of the savage sternness of the strange and unrivalled scene. A fortified city, almost surrounded by ravines, and rising in the centre of ch:.ies of far -spreading hills, occasionally offer ing, through their rocky glens, the gleams of a distant and richer land !" ASSOCIATIONS. " Tancred came forth from the garden of Gethsemane, his face was flushed with the rapt stillness of pious ecstacy hours had vanished during his passionate reverie, and he stared upon the declining sun. 66 6 The path to the right leads to Bethany.' The . force of association brought back the last words that he had heard from a human voice. And can he sleep without seeing Bethany? He mounts the path. What a landscape sur rounds him as he moves! What need for nature to be fair in a scene like this, where not a spot is visible that is not heroic or sacred, consecrated or memorable; not a rock that is not the cave of prophets ; not a valley that is not the valley of heaven-anointed kin gs; no t a mounta i n t h a t is not the mountain of God! " Before him is a living, a yet breathing and existing city, which Assyrian monarchs came down to besiege, which the chariots of Pharoahs encompassed, which Roman Emperors have personally assailed, for which Saladin and Coeur de Lion, the Desert and Christendom, Asia and Europe, struggled 11 1 rival chivalry—a city which Mahomet sighed to rule, ET over which the Creator alike of Assyrian kings and Egyptian, Pharoahs and Roman C aesars , th e f ramer a lik e o f the Deg!' and of Christendom, poured forth the full effusion of his di vinely human sorrow. " What need of cascade and of cataracts, the deep green turf, the foliage of the fairest trees, the impenetrable forest, the abounding river, mountains of glaciered creel the voice of birds, the bounding forms of beauteous animals,—all sights and sounds of material loveli ness that might become the delicate ruins of some archaic theatre, or the lingering fanes of some forgotten faith ! They would not be observed as the eye seized on Sion and Calvary; the gates of Bethlehem and Damascus; the hill of Titus ; the mosque of Mahomet and the tomb of Christ. The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and heaven." OPPORTUNITY. " It was destined that Napoleon should never enter Rome, and Mehemet never enter Damascus. What was the reason of this 1 They were not uninterested in those cities that in terest all. The Emperor selected from the capital of the Caesars the title of his son; the Prophet, when he beheld the crown of Syria, exclaimed that it was too delightful, and that he must reserve his paradise for another world. Buonaparte was an Italian, and must have often yearned after the days of Rome triumphant. The son of Abdallah was descended from the patriarchs, whose progenitor had been moulded out of the red clay of the most ancient city of the world. Absorbed by the passionate pursuit of the hour, the two heroes postponed a gratification which they knew how to appreciate, but which, with all their success, all their power, and all their fame, they were never permitted to in dulge. What moral is to be drawn from this circumstance? That we should never lose an occasion. Opportunity is more powerful even than conquerors and prophets." LORD PALMIRSTON. LOVE AND rOvERTY. " Generally speaking, it wiiilliefoUnd, notwithstanding the proverb, that, with persons of a noble nature, the straitened fortunes which they share together, and manage, and mitigate by mutual f or b earance, are m ore conducive to the sustainment of a high-toned and romantic passion than a luxurious and splendid prosperity. The wife of a roan of limited means, who, by contrivance, by the concealed sacri fice of some necessity of her own, supplies him with some slight enjoyment which he has never asked, but which she fancies he may have sighed for, experiences, without doubt, a degree of pleasure far more ravishing than the patrician dame who stops her barouche at Storr and Mortimer's, and out of her pin -money buys a trinket for the husband whorl she loves, and which he finds, perhaps, on his dressing table, on the anniversary of their wedding-day. That's pretty too and touching, and should be encouraged; but the other thrills, and ends in an embrace that is still poetry." A LADY OF SENTIMENT. .... " His tumultuous reverie was broken by the sobs of Lady Bertie. "' By heaven, I cannot endure this!' said Tancred, ad vancing. Death seems to me preferable to her unhappiness. Dearest of women !' "' Do not call me that,' she murmured. I can bear any thing from your lips but words of fondness. And pardon all this; I am not myself to-day. I had thought that I had steeled myself to all, to our inevitable separation; but I have mistaken myself, at least miscalculated my strength. It is weak; it is very weak and very foolish, but you must pardon it. lam too much interested in your career to wish you to delay your departure a moment ter my sake. I can bear our separation, at least I think I can. I shall quit the world— ter eve r. I should have done so had we not met. I was on the point of uoing so when we did meet—when— when my dream was at length realised. Go, go; do not stay. Bless you, and write to me, if Ibe alive to receive your letters.' "' cannot leave her,' thought the harrowed Tancred. 'lt never shall be said of me that I could blight a woman's lite or break her heart.' But, just as he was advancing, the door opened, and a servant brought in a note, and, with out looking at Tancred, who had turned to the window, dis appeared. The desolation and despair which had been im pressed on the countenance of Lady Bertie and Bellair vanished in an instant, as she recognised the handwriting of her cor respondent. They were succeeded by an expression of sin• gular excitement. She tore open the note; a stupor seemed to spread over her features, and, giving a faint shriek, she fell into a swoon. " Tancred rushed to her side; she was quite insensible, and pale as alabaster. The note, which was only two lines, was open and extended in her hands. It was from no idle curiosity, but it was impossible for Tancred not to read it. lie had one of those eagle visions that nothing could escape, and, himself extremely alarmed, it was the first object at which he unconsciously glanced in his agitation to dis cover the cause and the remedy for the crisis. The note ran thus— '3 o'Cloch. The Narrow Gauge has won. We are utterly done ; and snicks tells me you bought five hundred more yesterday, at ten. Is it possibl e . 'F.' " Is it possible!' echoed Tancred, as, entrusting Lady Bertie to her maid, he rapidly descended the staircase of her mansion." NORMAN NOBILITY. " Gentiles,' murmured Fakredeen ; Gentiles l—yog ere a Gentile, Tancred ?' " ' Alas! I am,' he answered, sprung from a horde of Baltic pirates, who never were heard of during the greater annals of the world—a descent which I have been educated to believe was the greatest of honours. What we should have become had not the Syro-Arabian creeds formed our minds, I dare not contemplate. Probably we should have perished in mutual destruction. However, though rude and modern Gentiles, unknown to the Apostles, we also were in time touched with the sacred symbol, and originally endowed with an organisation of a high class, for our ancestors wan dered from Caucasus, we have become kings and princes.' " ENGLISH CIVILIZATION. " We ought never to be surprised at anything that is done by the English,' observed Fakredeen, who are, after all, in a certain sense, savages. Their country produces nothing; it is an island, a mere rock, larger than Malta, but not so well fortified. Everything they require is imported from other couhtries ; they get their corn from Odessa, and their wine from the ports of Spain. I have been assured at Beiroot that they do not grow even their own cotton, but that I can hardly believe. Even their religion is an exotic; and, as they are indebted for that to Syria, it is not sur prising that they should import their education from Greece. " Poor people exclalmed the Queen, and yet they travel—they wish to improve themselves.'" LAD HENRY SYDNEY (LORD J. MANNERS). "It was a name that touched Tancred, as it has all the youth of England, significant of a career that would rescue public life from that strange union of lax principles and con tracted sympathies which now form the special and degrading features of British politics. It was borne by one whose boy hood we have painted amid the fields and schools of Eton, and the spring time of whose earliest youth we traced by the sedgy waters of the Cam. We left him on the threshold of• public • life • and, in four years, Lord He nr y h a d created t h at reputation which now made him a source of hope and solace to millions of his countrymen. But they were four years of labour which outweighed the usual exertions of public men double that space. His regular attendance in the House of Commons alone had given him as much Parliamentary ex perience as fell to the lot of many of those who bad been first returned in 1837, and had, therefore, been twice as long in the House. He was not only a vigilant member of public and private Committees, but had succeeded in appointing and conducting seve ra l on topics which he esteemed of highest importance. Add to this, that he took az habitual " Whatever difference of opinion may exist as to the policy pursued by the Foreign Minister of England, with respect to the settlement of the Turkish empire in 1840-41, none can be permitted, by those at least competent to decide upon such questions, as to the ability with which that policy was ac complished. When we consider the position of the Minister at home, net only deserted by Parliament, but abandoned by his party and even forsaken by his colleagues; the military occupation of Syria by the Egyptians; the rabid demonstra• Lion Of France; that an accident of time or space, the delay of a month or the gathering of a storm, might alone have baffled all his combinations ; it is diffii• cult to fix upon a page in the history of this country which records a superior instance of moral intrepidity. The buld conception and the brilliant perform ance were worthy of Chatham; but the domestic difficulties with which Lord Palmerston had to struggle place•the ex ploit beyond the happiest achievement of the elder Pitt. Throughout the memorable conjunction, Lord Palmerston, however, had one great advatage, which was invisible to the millions; he was served by a most vigilant and able diplo macy. The superiority of his information concerning the state of Syria to that furnished to the French Minister was the real means by which he baffled the menaced legions of our neighbours. A timid Secretary of State in the position of Lord Palmerston, even with such advantages, might have faltered; but the weapon was placed in the hands of one who did not shrink from its exercise, and the expulsion of the Egyptians from Turkey remains a great historic monu ment alike of diplomatic s kill an d a dministrative energy." 11 1 1 ,:b rt ei sivi we e e b h, a ,e t t e po , r ‘ n l, 141 are farni: • i na lii t , eed, ,were want t o p; : 14 Passion ‘:: ) . ,‘ten, that ii It ; Par Pose, and It '_ufe the article Cee'that whteh 40t,_ k ßolar and 41,T, e /tDerienced 4 7: 10 0k to t h e Er e _ es aad the cu t at jent deeply how far - a r the desue ,jilight be neee %tlBkhee for their 111 4 of labou r ar 4, / ,* l ",. ; ° f ardei 1 4 0 1;,, e ;.'° 11 , but po iip ro " D ` l .nacY when ,kk e „' l ng sPEaker and • 114_nry wit Eder seeme rf we add ein g aeara tease Ppd nn o tart. „ a hao „:,,,e_ N pai li d V o.fr A , doe "V ► !iri l l ,T , E 3 t il . oui c i n 1 11,, - ° , 4as 'rho, iii h t e t , Frnoon to ;41 and service.” ` 1 ad exerci I f ti l tu t li cler .!n -CI Ir e r Y wag goo ip ta: • squadron ki lt 14 Smart, flt 15e, Cotereande JR .! gain Sir E Vi_a Michael 4,41 , 114111i:'ri'113:1: '_ ' 4 3 ,,, i r:BlB:Prollatr..:o:lhpBe,r9eeSt aritE6ellB.2ltcibeA.ehnoahsilaeen'Ydionan'mdslCßt:qafiapani.ilri:ill, ii l w k ' e The E 1 t l ms l' ti k l i d_( lit 6 Alton,t.
