ITER MAJE • STY'S THEATRE. • SEASON 1857. In announcing the arrangements for another season, the Director of her 'Majesty's Theatre cannot but refer, with s;n eere gratitude, to the success whi.fh attended his efforts, un der very trying circumstances, in the season of 1856. • . Dramatic Opera, which in everyforeign State is fostered by Government aid, is, in this country, denied the support which is extended to other departments of art; and it is to the patronage of the upper classes, who have rallied round the establishment, that the country owes the prosperity of a noble lyrical institution, which no unsupported individual efforts could maintain in a manner worthy of its old renown. In acknowledging the munificent assistance which enabled him to conquer the unprecedented difficulties of last year, the Director cannot sufficiently express his grateful appreciation of the delicacy with which it- was bestowed. Support was freely and tobly accorded for the solo purpose of insuring the prosperity of the institution, and the counsel which added to its value was never accompanied by a word to shackle the discretion or impair the authority of the direction. To this the success of the past season is greatly owing ; and from the generous confidence w_th which the subscribers have renewed their subscriptions for the present year, without awaiting the publication of the annual programme, the Director derives the assurance that - he has not altogether disappointed the Patrons of the theatre, and that he may rely ou the continu ance of the cordial encouragement -by which- he has been hitherto upheld, and under which it is hoped still higher triumphs may be achieved than were immediately attainable on the restoration of the establishment. The enthusiasm which welcomed the re-opening of her Ma jesty's Theatre was not confined to the subscribers. The hearty interest and genuine appreciation displayed by the audiences who thronged the house feom the first night to the closinc , farewell demand the warmest thanks of the Director, which he will endeavour practically to express by renewed efforts in the service of the public. The Director is most anxious to acknowledge how much he indebted to Maddle Piccolomini and all the artistes whose I miscontributed to the success of last year, not merely fir .roEeefforts of genius which won the sympathy and admira tion of the subscribers and the public, but for that high artistic feeling and honourable fidelity which secured the audience from disappointment, and enabled the Direction to produce the entertainments promised for each evening with out a single change of performance— a fact, without precedent In Operatic history. The advantages peculiar to her Majesty's Theatre—its cen tral Position, and associations now more than a century old —give to it a natural pre-eminence of which no occasional circumstances can ever permanently deprive it; These ad vantages will be turned to account by a Company combining the prestige of acknowledged genius with the attraction of new candidates for the highest rank of their profession. Those who last year won favour at the hands of strangers will re appear to claim the cordial recognition which an English audience never refuses to established favourites ; and the direction has been further strengthened by an accession of new aspirants of the.highest order; whose merits are already acknowledged on the stages of Italy, and who only await the verdict of the subscribers and frequenters of her Majesty's Theatre to confirm their fame. Although, in an Establishment especially devoted to Italian Opera, the compositions of Italy will naturally predominate, the gems of other schools will not be neglected. Ballet will continue to be supported by the most famous of established Artistes and the most premising of those who are ambitious of the same distinction. It is hoped that the organisation of every department will prove completely worthy of that state of renewed prosperity to Nthich her Majesty's Theatre has now attained.

Mr. GYE begs most respectfully to announce that the Royal Italian Opera will, during the Season of 1857, be given at the Theatre Royal Lyceum. The opening will take place on TUESDAY, APRIL 14th. It was the intention this year that the performance of de Opera should take place at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, chiefly with a view to afford accommodation to those large classes of the musical public who, for so long, have been the constant supporters of the Royal Italian Opera, Covent Gar den, but unforeseen circumstances have prevented this inten tion being fulfilled. Mr. GYE has in consequence again taken the Lyceum Theatre, and. while he much regrets the exclu sion of a great portion of the general public from the per formances of the present season, he has at the same time the satisfaction of being able by judicious alterations in the building, to accommodate a very considerable number of the regular Subscribers. It is also it source of gratification to know that an almost universal approval was expressed at the perfection of the per formances at the Lyceum last season, many Subscribers indeed even preferring the smaller theatre on account of the facility in seeing and healing the entertainments, as well as for the elegance and exclusiveness of the audiences.' Mr. GYE trusts, however, that for the Season 1858 he will be able to restore to the Royal Italian Opera a home equal, if not superior, to that of which it has been deprived ; in the meantime he begs most respectfully to entreat the continuance of that warm and generous support which has so long been accorded to him, and without Nyhich he would scarcely have had the fortitude to battle with the consequences of the cala mity of last year. It will be seen by the following outline that there has been no relaxation in the endeavour to render the arrangements of the present season as complete as possible ; that the great artistes are engaged—artistes, whether as sopranos, tenors, baritones, or bas es, are as yet without rivals; that the cele brated Orchestra, and its most accomplished Conductor, as well as the Grand Chorus, still form part of the establishment; and, iu fact, that an extraordinary combination of talent, such as has procured for the Royal Italian Opera an European reputation, is again assembled. In addition to the Operas performed last season arrange ments have been entered into with Monsieur Scribe and Mon sieur Auber, the Author and Composer of ' . PRA DIAVOLO, to-adapt that beautiful Opera for the Italian Stage, and it will be produced veth entirely Now Reoitativog Poetry and Music, written • expressly for the Royal Italian Opera. Herold's Romantic Opera of ZAMPA, _ _ _ With new arrangements and alterations, will be performed for the First Time at the Royal Italian Opera. Cimarosa's IL MATRIMONIO SEGRETO will be revived. Also Mozart's Opera, LE NOZZE DI FIGARO. DON PASQUALE Will• be performed for the reniree .of Signor LAbLACHE. Mercadante's Opera, • IL GIURANIENT 0 s• Will be performed for the First 'lime at tho Royal Italian Opera. Verdi's Opera, LA. TRAVIATA, Will be produced early in the season. The principal charac ters by Signor MARIO, Signor GRAZIANI, AND Madame BOSIO, With such a list of artistes as the following, it need scarcely be said that the castes of these operas must be powerful.

C. E. Cumber land; R.E. Tile charges were placed about 30 feet in front of the crest of the counterscarp of the left face of the Magazine Ravelin, and on being fired the effect was very grand, the earthwork being thrown to a distance of nearly 50 feet into the air. Immediately after the explosion had taken place the men stationed in the double sap moved out, each provided with the necessary working tools, for the purpose of forming a trench 10 feet wide and 3 feet deep on the' spot where the explosion had just taken place. In advance of the working party 'were thrown out a number of troops, protected from head to foot by Gen. Blanshard's iron mantlets, 'which each man carried. Under their protection the men are enabled to push on in front of work ing parties, the mantlets resisting the effect of an enemy's fire. The troops stationed within the por tion of the works attacked opened a quick fire on' the working parties, the latter of whom quickly constructed their gabions, during which they were protected by a firing party; who kept up a heavy fire. The working party continued the excavation of the trench, which in a very short time was exca vated to a length of several hundred yards. Uri fortunately, during the latter part of the opera tions, a heavy storm of rain set in, which prevented the entire arrangements intended being carried out. The siege operations were performed by the troops engaged in an efficient manner, and reflected very great credit on Major Hassard, by whom they were superintended.

Ey o•der. LAISTOW &VICTORIA DOCK MISSION. it The prayers and offerings of Churchmen are solicited in aid r,c an effort to supply the urgent spiritual wants of a newly popu lated district around the Victoria Docks. Within the last few years the formation of a portion of these Docks and other caus.s have added a population of about 4,000 souls to tile spiritual charge of the Incumbent of St. Mary's. Plaistow. A new town has been commenced on a low and marshy tract of ground ad joining the river Thames, totally undrained, and intersected by stagnant ditches. In a few more years itis probable that this district will rival Poplar, Shadwell, Ratcliffe, or St. George's in the number and habits of its population. It is proposed at once to send clergymen to labour amongst these newly-congregated mas , es, and to increase their staff as circum stances may render necessary. Another generation must not be left to repair the neglect of the present. The object of the appeal is not to apply a palliative of an all but hopeless evil, but to find the means of its prevention, to preach Christ's Gospel to every mall, woman, and child in the district, to endeavour to bring all within the fold of our National Church, to instruct them according to her formularies, and to preserve them in the communion of her faith and warship. Ragged czchools have been tried elsewhere with success. Why not try Ragged Churches in School-rooms? We propose, therefore, in the first instance, to have SHORT SERVICES FROM THE PRAYER Book in our Schools, adapted to the capacities of the untaught poor with lectures on popular subjects, musical and other entertainments.

The officers and troops belonging to the corps of Royal Engineers at Chatham garrison, upwards of I 1,000 men, were yesterday afternoon engaged in a series of siego operations of a new and highly in teresting character, in the presence of Major- General T. Blanshard, C. 8., Royal Engineers, and a large number of engineer and other officers. The experiments were undertaken with the view of in structing the troops belonging to that branch of the service in excavating, sapping, and making regular approaches to a fortified position, so as to enable the regular troops to attack it with success. The officers and men having assembled on the parade-ground at Brompton Barracks shortly be fore two o'clock were separated into several divi sions, including an attacking party, commanded by Lieutenant G. Philips ; a party to defend the posi tion, in charge of Lieutenant S. G. Bird, with working and lodgment parties, each in charge of an officer of the Royal Engineers. The troops com prising the attack were formed into parties to make the necessary excavations, others to occupy the batteries, and another body to act as a covering party, the direction of the whole plan of operations being intrusted to Major F. C. Hassard, R.E., under the general direction of Col. H. Sandham. As soon as each division had be told off the entire body marched to the field-works at the , rear of Bromp ton Barracks, where the siege I operations were to take place. The plan of opera tions consisted in the attack and defence of those portions of the line of fortifications which sur round Chatham Garrison known as the Ravelin and Cumberland Bastion. For some days previous to the operations strong working parties of the Sappers and Miners had been engaged in the excavation of a double sap against the face of the Ravelin, and on the arrival of the troops o n the ground one portion of the attacking pa rt y was placed at the head of the sap, where a quantity of excavating tools had also been collected. Excava tions bad also been made for the purpose of lodging 10 " fougasses" of gunpowder, in 61b. charges, at a depth of 4 feet below the surface, and 6 feet apart. The troops engaged in the attack and de fence were each supplied with 15 rounds of blank cartridge. ground the On the several partied ar riving on the EXTRAORDINARY CASE. For the last few clays the public of Glasgow have been deeply moved by the report that a gentleman had been poisoned by his sweetheart, the daughter of a highly respectable family whials -moves in the b.-Ater classes of spc'ety. These immouss obtained embodiment and confirmation when it became known that the young lady bad actually been ap prehended at the instance of the Public Prosecutor, and that she is at this moment in the prison of Glasgow on the charge of suspected poisoning. As there is no , public coroner's inquest in Scotland, the real facts connected with a case of this kind are difficult to be had ; but it is believed that the fol lowing recital is authentic so far as it goes :—lt appears that on Monday, the 23d of March last, a young French Protestant gentleman, named M. PierreEmileL'Angelier, who is connected with the house of Messrs. W. B. Huggins, extensive foreign merchants in Glasgow, died suddenly in his lodg ings in the city. From circumstances which came to their knowledge, the 'firm we have named, on their own responsibility, requested Dr. Steven, who had been in attendance upon deceased before his death, and Dr. Thompson, to make a post mortem examination. This was done; but nothing palpably extraordinary was discovered. The stomach, and its contents, however, were secured and retained by the medical gentlemen. The case having been reported to the sheriffs' fiscals, after inquiring into the circumstances of the case, . they transmitted the stomach and its contents to one of our most eminent local chemists for chemical analysis. The result of the analysis was the dis covery in the stomach and viscera of a considerable quantity of irritant poison. As there was nothing to lead to the inference that M. L'Angelier had himself thus violently terminated his existence, an inquiry of a searching character was instituted. It appears that the deceased had been on a short visit to the Bridge of Allan (a fashionable watering place, about 35 miles from Glasgow), from which he returned rather unexpectedly on the night of Sunday, the 22d ult., and, leaving his lodgings about 8 o'clock, he took the key with him, stating be would be somewhat later than usual. He did return about 2 o'clock on Monday morning, and was then suffering great pain, in consequence of which a medical gentleman (Dr. Steven) was called in, who prescribed for him without having the most distant notion that be was suffering from the effects of acrid poison. During the night we learn the young man was from time to a time attended by his landlady, and was often con vulsed with agony. He became more quiet to wards the morning, and was left undisturbed; but when the doctor again called on the forenoon of Monday it was found that his patient was no more. That he was proved to have died from the effects of poison has been already stated. In the course of the investigation which followed it came out, from oral testimony as well as from the presence of a vast number of letters, that L'Angelier was on terms of close intimacy with Miss Madeleine Smith, the daughter of a highly respectable architect re siding in Blythwood-square, and there is reason to believe that he left the Bridge of Allan in conse quence of a letter addressed to him by the lady ex pressing a very strong desire to meet him. Whether or not the parties really did or did not meet on that Sunday Light is not yet publicly known ; but in resorting to the extreme step of apprehending Miss Smith, the authorities no doubt acted on the fact, which is not disputed, that on more than one occasion the lady, who is only 21 years of age, pro cured arsenic during the month of March at the shops of more than one of the Glasgow West-end chemists. The possession of this poison, however, is compatible with entire innocence, for it is known that arsenic is occasionally used by young ladies as a cosmetic. The thought that a highly and virtu ously bred young lady could destroy her lover is too appalling for belief ; but the public voice sup plies a reason in the circumstance that a gentleman in a much more promising and prominent position in life than that occupied by L'Algalier had:become a suitor for the young lady's hand, and that he had been accepted by her and her parents. This we set down as the rumour of the day. Meanwhile, though the young lady is in the hands of justice, there is -nothing in her proceedings, so far as known, incom patible with innocence. She was judicially ex amined at great length on Tuesday last, before com mittal to prison, and comported herself throughout with perfect calmness. The prisoner is grand daughter of the late Mr. David Hamilton, the celebrated architect of Glasgow Exchange and Hamilton Palace. PIVSi.RVATION OF LIFE FROM SHIP WRECK. On Thursday a meeting of the Royal National Life-boat Institution was he'd at its house, John-street, Adelphi-- the Duke of Northumberland, K.G., president of the society, in the chair. We alio observed present—Ad miral Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., General Blanshard, C. 8., Captain Washington, R.N., F.R.S., Messrs. Ed ward Henry, George Lyall, James Peake, Capt. Lam bert Perrott, and Captain Ward, R.N., inspector of life boats to the institution, Mr. LEWIS (the secretary) having read the minutes of the previous meeting, A reward of 131. was granted to 13 men for putting off in the Berwick life-boat, which belongs to the insti tution, and rescuing the crew of five men of the schooner Heinrich Gerdes, which, during a heavy gale of wind, was ',stranded on Spittal Point on Sunday, the 22d ult. The life-boat was reported to have behaved very well on the occasion. She has not long been on this station, but in that period she has been instrumental in rescuing the crews of two wrecks. . A reward of 71. was also voted to the crew of the society's life.boat stationed at Newbiggin, Northumberland, for going off in her and saving three men from a fishing , coble off Berwick, on the 13th ult. It was blowing at the time a heavy gale from the S.E. and a tremendons. sea was on. The fishing-boat was seen about a mile..oft, shore in imminent danger. The lifeboat gradually puilea out, facing a very heavy sea. The poor men, w ho were exhausted from the buffeting of the st orm, had given themselves up for lost when the life boat came out to their' help. After having been take n on beard, they ex pressed themselves in very grateful terms for their pro vidential rescue, and stated that they must have perished but for the timely assistance of the life-boat. This boat, was put on this station by.the Duke of Nonhumberland. and has on previous occasions been the means of saving fishermen from drowning. It was also reported that the Padstow life-boat, which belongs to this society, had on the 14th ult. rescued the crew of four men from the schooner Hibernia, of Teignmouth, which during a heavy gale of wind had gone to pieces on Trebetherick rocks. Hardly ten minutes had elapsed after the crew had been taken out of the vessel before she went to pieces. This was the first time the lifeboat had been called into requisition during the short period since she had been sent by the society here, and most admirably has she performed her duty. The crew of the life-boat received from the ship owner 14/, for their gallant services. These three life-boats are on the plan of Mr. J. Peake. A. reward of Bt. was also voted to the crew of the Seaton Carew life-boat, for putting off in her with the view of rescuing a shipwrecked crew. This life-boat, which is 30 years old, made two unsuccessful attempts to reach the wreck. A generous benefactor has offered the institution t o replace her immediately with a powerful life-boat on Mr. Peake's plan. We trust that all the worthless boats which are called life-boats will every where be soon replaced by life-boats of proved superio- rity. A reward of 51. 10s, was like wise granted to the Rhy] tnbular ife boat, which also belong ' s to this for putting off to the :1%4) .

She afterwards upset, and the crew took to the boat with great difficulty, but two passengers, a young man . and his wife, were drowned in the steerage. The craw of the Frenchman, having seen their perilous situation, it once proceeded in their boat to their rescue, and by great skill and bravery saved the crew. The master of the Dart stated that it was quite miraculous that their boat had lived so long in the fearful Race, and that the . Frenchmen had been able to succour them. There was a little boy, aged 12 years, on board the French smack, who had entreatad his father and the crew to go off to the rescue of the shipwrecked crew. , A reward of 61. was also voted to three fishermen for putting off in their noble during a heavy gale of wind, • and rescuing, at considerable risk of life, the crew, four in number, of the schooner M ar y, o f S un d er l an d, w hi c h • was wrecked off Whitby on the 20th ult. The second service clasp was voted to Mr. H. A. Hamil ton, of Balbriggan, who, for previous gallant service, had received the silver medal of this institution, and the silver medal and 2/. to Henry Houghton, joiner, in acknow. ledgment of their noble conduct in attempting to rescue, at the peril of their lives, seven of the crew of the brig Era, of the Rochester, which was sometime since wrecked off Hartlepool. Houghton had rushed into the surf to catch a line which bad been thrown from the wreck, and - thus succeeded in effecting a communication between the vessel and-the shore, by which means the whole of the crew were saved. As the master, who was a heavy man, and benumbed with cold, was being drawn ashore, • he fell into the sea, and was with difficulty saved by the joint intrepid exertions of Messrs. Hamilton and Hough ton. Mr. Hamilton has on previous occasions dis tinguished himself in rescuing life from shipwreck, and has by his benevolent exertions established one- of the best life boat establishments on the Irish coast. Ile happened on the occasion of the wreck of the Era to be on a visit to a friend in the neighbourhood. Various other rewards were voted for saving life from wrecks. It was said that during the last three months the life.: boats of the institution had rescued the crews.of the fol- - lowing vessels :—Reliance, of London, 15; Tennant, of Stockton, 13 ; Pensher, of Sunderland, 7 ; Georgiana, of Inverness, 5 ; Sophie, of Oporto, 11 , Temperance, of . Belfast, 4 ; Ratcliffe, of Whitby, 8; a noble, of Mervvick, 3 ; Hibernia, of _Teiganaouth, 4 ; Heinrich Gerdes, of - Rostock, 5. Total, 70 persons. Mr. T. N. Hunt, Bank of England director, was elected a vice-president of the institution, in virtue of his munificent donation of 501. to its funds ; and Capt. Bullock, R.N., and Mr. Alexander Boctefeur, having been elected members of the committee of management, the proceedings were clo'ed. PROTEST OF THE DUTCH ROMISH BISHOPS AGAINST THE DOCTRINE OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION. The following significant paper forcibly exhibits that worthless cheat called "unity" in the schis matic Church of Rome. " Pastoral Instructions of the Archbishop of Utrecht, and the Bishops of Haarlem and Deventer, on the sub ject of the Immaculate Conception : " When we heard of the great preparations that were being made for deliberating on the point of the Concep tion, at Rome, in December, 1854, we found, and with good reason, that these preparations would all be found eventually to have been little more than an out ward form ; but we, nevertheless, hoped that the prayers of many good men, so earnestly solicited by the holy father, for the light of the Holy Spirit, would be so heard as to succeed in turning the counsels of Ahitophel into foolishness. The unsearchable judgments of Divine Providence have otherwise ordered. Pius, alas t the weak Pius, having once thrown himself into the arms of the Jesuits, has now again lent his name and his in fluence to accomplish a deed deeply grieving all good men, and causing new scandal in the Church. " The Encyclical Letter of the Bth December, 1854, threatens the wrath of Almighty God, &c., to all who should dare to speak against, or even not to accept, the decision therein announced, respecting the Conception of the Virgin. " How great soever may be our respect for his holi ness, as head of the Church, and the centre of Catholic unity, we should dread still more the displeasure of the Almighty, if we blindly accepted such decision. " St. Paul did not threaten the people of Berea with the displeasure of Almighty God when they searched the Scriptures to see if the things which were brought before them were so ;' and St. Luke even confers upon them special honour—' These were more noble than those of Thessalonica,' because they did so search. If this doc trine of the Immaculate Conception can be so thoroughly proved to be a doctrine of the Catholic Church, as in such apostolic letter it is declared to be, there need no War arise from such a search ' • yea, ratlrer ought an ap• peal to go forth, inviting such a search, that it may be patent to the whole world that we are indebted to the care and zeal of Pius IX. for this discovery. "Inasmuch as we have no conviction that Pius has spoken an infallible word, when he declared the Imma culate Conception of the Blessed Virgin to be a revealed truth of the Catholic faith, we feel it to be our duty to examine the grounds on which such declaration rests. " These grounds are said by him to be five : "1. Holy Scripture. "2. Sacred tradition. "3. The continuous feeling of the Church. "4. The wonderful unanimity of Catholic pastors and- of the faithful. " The illustrious acts and constitutions of his prede cessors in the Papal chair." After combatting the above grounds, they say, in reference to the fourth, " Where is this wonderful una nimity to be found ! Naturally in the answers given by the bishops to the letter addressed to them from Gaeta in 1849. The analysis justifies no such unanimity. The whole dogma of the Immaculate Conception being thus entirely new, there need be no wonder that the mode of announcing it was also entirely new. Never formerly were ouch utterances heard from a Pope's lips ; formerly it was the congregated fathers, who, after previous deli. berations, &c., judged and determined. But it was on this occasion no church council ; although, for the eye o' the world, such a colouring was attempted to be given to it. The bishops were merely mute attestators of what was proposed by Pope Pins IX., and with too great reason may the words of the prophet be applied to them :—" Blind watchmen I they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs ; they cannot bark.' "—lsaiah, lvi., 10. ;‘ Oh ! how did those teachers in Israel belie their character ! and how was their character trampled on by the first in rank amongst them. An open contumely and spot of shame is thus thrown on the episcopal cha racter and office, those functionaries having nullified their very position and work as judges of the faith. " When the successor of St. Peter gave utterance to the lie that the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception had been revealed by God, was there no Paul to with= stand and gainsay him to the face ? On the contrary they winked in the lowest cajolery when one of the French bishops looked his holiness in the face and said, Holy father I thou has not only decided the Immaculate Con ception ; thou Last decided thine own infallibility.'" Under the fifth head of the pastoral instruction, re ference is made to GregOry the Great, Innocent 111. and Innocent V., Clement VI., &c., to that for 14 cen turies a doctrine was held in entire contradiction to that promulgated by Pius IX., and it is then said : " We leave it to every unprejudiced person to dec de whether we have good ground for the strictures we have made, and whether we have proved or not that the apos tolic letter issued by Pius IX., on the Bth December, 1854, is simply a tissue (zamenweefsel) of untruths, wherein the name of Scripture and sacred tradition are shamefully misapplied, to exalt into a matter of faith a mere matter of feeling or subjective impression, not even based on the lowest grade of probability. ‘ wo ' rld In that con the maxim awxeim ‘ Q solemnly g declare before quodeforetheubwiliquolea, quod ab omnibus,' reaches neither in teaching nor in acceptance to this dogma of the Immaculate Conception ; and we say to all Catholics, Remove not the ancient landmarks which thy fathers have set.' (Proverbs mi. 28.) But though we or an angel from God's heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have re ceived, let him be accursed. (Gal. i. 8.) Remember h ow thou halt received and heard ; and hold fast.' 'llev. iii. 3.) (Signed) " t JOHN, Archbishop of Utrecht, " t HENRY JOHN, Bishop of Haarlem. " 'I. HERMAN, Bishop of Deventer."
