Happily for the character of Parliament the lon g _ delayed, long-agitated, and long-desired measure f or a diminution in factory labour cannot continue lode fnitely before the Legislature. As in all subluna r y matters, there must ultimately be a termination to the discussion upon Mr. FIBLDEN'S Bill. Even the question of preference between ten and (eleven hours daily occupation must, in the end, be settled. But that Experience assures US that no Parliamentary consideration can acquire for itself a perennial freshness, that it cannot b e fanned into immortality as by the breezes of the ;island of CALYPSO, we should be disposed to date the Royal sanction of the Bill (which is so perti- Iw o* squabSectever on Wednesday mornings) at tha—dreek—Kands—certainly not before!

That then is rents, issues, and profits of the lands liable for the the delusion, that is the hobgoblin, that is the payment; from thenceforward there has been no pay spectral monstrosity which has affrighted the ment of any kind of demand in Ireland made with susceptible imaginations of so many honourable such regularity and punctuality as - that which Represesentatives. Why, now that the " mur _ could not previously, by any means, be enforced der is out," the apprehensions entertained for or obtained. so long a period may be very readily dissipated.

The occupying cipation of the over-worked and neglected factory artisans ! A plan that has originated in the purest and loftiest benevolence is stigmatised as the offspring of rancorous animosity and pitiful spite. Accord ing to Mr. ROEBUCK, that battle of High Principle, which has for several years been eliciting the admi ration of the GOD-adoring and Man-loving multitude, is in reality nothing better than a Faction Fight ! According to the hypothesis of Mr. B. ESCOTT, Lord ASHLEY is—notwithstanding his partiality for the late anti-corn-law agitation—an unconscious implement for ensuring revenge to the Protectionists. Accord ing to the suppositions uttered yesterday in the House of Commons, her IttazsTT's Ministers are very innocently, but very energetically, carry ing into effect the invidious projects of Lord GEORGE BENTINCK and his followers. Deluded Lord JOHN RUSSELL ! benighted Privy Coun cillors ! deceived Commissioner of her MAJESTY'S Woods and Forests ! are you then, out of the very plenitude of your charity towards the suffering children in the manufacturing districts, degenerating into the tools of your bitterest antagonists, of the lovers of a fiscal bondage, of the so-called, and satiri tenants will believe, and with reason, that they are treated with injustice that the entire burden is shifted from the shoulders of the landowners to their own. By the law as it now stands they are entitled to deduct from their rents a certain proportion of the rate, and by a wise regula tion that deduction is in the inverse proportion to the rent they pay. If that is a rack rent higher than the poor-law valuation, the chief portion falls on the landlord—if very low, on the tenant. He is, in fact, entitled to deduct a moiety of the rate per pound from every pound of rent he pays. If no such al lowance should be made from this time forth, nothing could convince the occupier that he was not seriously aggrieved, and passive resistance would again be introduced by a people, who from their former triumph were made acquainted with their real power. It is incumbent, therefore, on all friends of the measure to oppose the introduc tion of the clause to the uttermost, for, if carried, it will render the entire enactment worse than useless, and occasion the greatest confusion and disturbance in the land it is intended to benefit. cally so-called Country Party ? Alas ! for the pit fals and quagmires of political ambition ! But, seriously and solemnly, it is maintained that the Ten Hours' Factory Bill is nothing more than a retailiation for the triumph of free trade, and most A very interesting disci&s'ion took placeon Wednes day night in the House of Commons in Committee on the Naval Prisons Bill, of which the object is to sub stitute imprisonment for corporal punishment in cases where naval officers are at present empowered to inflict the latter without the intervention of a court-martial. To invest officers with this alternative would be at once a wise and humane act on the part of the Legisla ture, and we have no doubt that the discretionary power now proposed to be given would be accept able to the commanders of her MAJESTY'S ships. Heretofore the officers, whose first duty is to maintain an efficient state of discipline, have felt themselves compelled to resort to corporal punishment, because they have not had the power in their own hands, nor have there been available means, for com mitting the refractory seaman to prison. And thus it has frequently happened, that an excellent and humane officer, who has only faithfully discharged his duty to his SOVEREIGN, has bad his character for benevolence wantonly impeached, simply in con sequence of the defective and indiscriminately limited system of regulations which has hitherto prevailed for the suppression of naval offences. The Admiralty are, therefore, entitled to great praise for having in troduced the measure in question. It is a proof of the earnest desire by which they are animated to do all in their power to redress the grievances which have been reasonably complained of, both before and since their accession to office ; and that these have not been light cannot be questioned. Captain PECHELL, him self a naval officer, on Wednesday acknowledged, in the House of Commons, " his wonder how the sailor formerly bore the grievances to which he was sub ject." The sentence of imprisonment in solitary con finement for 28 days, which it is intended to authorise rammanders to pass, cannot be carried into effect, unless it be first approved of in writing by the chief com manding officer at the port, place, or station where the ship to which the offender belongs may happen to be. This is a proper check and commendable guarantee for securing the sailor against the exercise of undue severity, or unjust treatment. 'Whether this provision should not be hereafter enlarged, so as to protect the accused against imprisonment unless sanctioned by a court-martial, is a point which will fairly admit of future consideration. The Admiralty have a great responsibility, and whilst they are pro ceeding in a right direction, and making benevolent experiments in accordance with the public feeling, we think they are to be praised for framing their mea sures with due caution. Too precipitate a relaxa tion of power, in the first instance, might have the effect of defeating the very object which we believe is entertained by the Admiralty, in common with the most philanthropic of the nation at large, that of improving the general condition of all the subordinate ranks in the navy, and of removing, as speedily as possible, the various causes which have hitherto rendered a severity of punishment indis pensable. We certainly deem it desirable that naval and military punishments should be assimilated as closely as may be feasible, and we except altogether to the practice of the lash being applied, as it now if r with greater severity to the body of the sailor than to that of the soldier. There should be no difference in the cat-o'-nine-tails in either service; neither do we see why the instrument should be wielded by a powerful boatswain in the navy, when, in the army, it is placed in the hands of a drummer. If the ser vices of a boy are sufficient in the one case, they ought to be considered equally so in the other. At any rate, were there to be no difference permitted in the severity of the lash, naval or military, it would scarcely, we presume, be contended that the services of a boatswain in the navy, and of those of a boy in the army, would be justified by any assumed differ ence in the relative physical strength of the sailor com pared with that of the soldier. Other matters were elicited in the course of the debate which redound to the credit of the Admiralty. As soon as ever the public finances will admit of it, they intend to increase the pay of the petty officers, and likewise to introduce some honorary distinction. They have it also in contemplation t) give rewards to sergeants of marines, whose services for the preservation of discipline received from the Secretary of the Ad miralty a just tribute of admiration. Altogether, it is manifest that the present Lords of the Admiralty are not men who hold out expectations to the public which they suffer to sink into oblivion with the ter mination of a debate in St. Stephen's. The country will feel grateful for the zeal and activity with which they have applied their minds to the important duties incidental to their high office. seriously and most solemnly we aver that never was any true struggle in the cause of humanity so shame _ ._ fully and causelessly traduced. As well might we designate the charitable labours of him who is corn monly called ST. VINCENT DE PAUL as efforts for he destruction of all pedlars and costerrnongers ; as well might we distort into the patronage of im- morality the immaculate sentiments uttered by HOWARD to the inmates of foreign dungeons. Despite these absurd misrepresentations, however, the Bill introduced by Mr. FIELDEN has progressed another stage. In the teeth of a virulent animosity it has advanced through the ordeal of Committee—it has passed unscathed over the burning ploughshares of amendments and cavilled-clauses. On Thurs- day evening it is to be revived for the third reading, conditionally—in other words, the third reading will come on, with the understanding that it will be postponed for another occasion. By this quibbling procrastination the discussions have been spread over a great multitude, of hours already ; yet, thanks to the innate goodness and vitality of the principle at stake, there has been no escape through any one of the thousrAnd loopholes to reach which its opponents have striven so perpetually. The numerous obstacles which the Bill has already conquered form to us a guarantee that it must ultimately prove victorious! There are few persons who are at all acquainted with public affairs, or were in the habit of reading the public journals some fifteen years since, who must not have fully in their recollection the daily accounts of tumultuous assemblies, and too frequently of san guinary conflicts taking place in Ireland, occasioned by the attempts then made by the titheowners of that country to collect the compositions established in lieu of tithe from the occupiers of land. What was termed a passive resistance was organised. No farmer or cottier paid the portion chargeable on his holding, without, in the first instance, opposing the recovery of the demand in every manner possible. Every de lay permitted by the law was interposed; every means of opposition that legal ingenuity could devise no matter how vexatious or expensive it might be to the parties, was had recourse to before a decree or order could be obtained ; all the machinery of the law was brought into operation by the litigants on either side. No tribunal throughout the land, from the highest to the lowest, from the Court of Cnancery to the magistrates at petit sessions, was free from tithe cases. Bills were filed in Chancery and in the Equity Exchequer.— proceedings instituted. and nisi prius records made up from the common law courts —processes before the assistant barrister at quarter sessions, and sum monses at petit sessions, were all in turn adopted, and in almost every instance successful in obtaining favourable decisions for the plaintiffs. But that which usually terminated the difficulties of creditors in ordinary cases proved, in these instances, but the very beginning of their trouble. The payments could not be enforced lay any power that could be made use of. If a %man party attempted to take the goods of the debtor they were beaten off and corApelled to relinquish their 'seizure, and fre quently considerably i n j ure d b y t h e assa i lants. If a lager force was employed, and the aid of the civil power invoked, blood was shed either on the side of the police:or the people—the enforcers or the opponents of the law. Gortroe, Carrickshock, and many other places obtained an infamous celebrity for the fearful scenes enacted, and numerous widows and orphans had to lament the loss of their protectors, whose lives were sacrificed, and who became the victims of the state of demoralisation and opposition to the law, so universal throughout the island. The military were called in many instances, the troops in addition to their ordinary duties were converted into tithe proctors and bailiffs, to compel submission to the law. Captions were effected and triumphantly borne to the neighbouring towns, and there offered for sale by public auction, in order to realise the amount of the debt and costs, but the result was scarcely more favourable for the claimants. True it was that the overwhelming force employed prevented the assembled multitudes from using open violence, or attempting the rescue of the goods by the strong hand ; but thousands flocked In from every side of the country, and with folded arms and lower ing brows regarded the progress of the sale, and curses both loud and deep were uttered against every person participating in the proceedings. Bidders could not he obtained on any terms; fat cattle were knocked down and sold for as many pence as they were worth pounds, but they had previously been branded so as to indicate that they had been sold . for the payment of the obnoxious demands, and the purchaser could not avail himself of his bargain, or make it in any degree useful, for it was followed from place to place, and looked upon as something unholy, to call down the vengeance of Heaven on its possessor; while he himself, in his person and pro perty, was made to expiate the offence he had com mitted in at all meddling. He could not safely show himself at fair or market; his house and the produce of his farm were consumed by the acts of incen diaries, hi s cattle houghed or butchered in his fields, and everything belonging to him devoted to destruc tion. Accounts from Rome state that Don ENRIQU E , on his arrival there, "demanded an audience of the POPE, who, in reply, desired that he should be presented by the Spanish Ambassador; but as this functionary had made pretension to being present at every audience, the PRINCE declared that he could not admit of any witness to any conscientious intercourse that might take place between him and the Sovereign Pontiff Consequently, he announced his intention of address ing his Holiness directly, the first time he met him in public." A Berlin letter of the 15th states that the pro posed Address, in answer to the KING'S speech, was read at that day's sitting of the States-General, and immediately taken into consideration. The terms are said to be rather violent, and if the Address were voted without modification, it would probably lead to unfortunate consequences. Therefore, Count D'ARNIM, late Minister of the Interior, wishing to prevent all conflict between the SOVEREIGN and the States, proposed, in a speech which had great effect, an amendment, which appeared to be ftvourably received by the majority of the Assembly.. The amendment maintains the same sentiments, ;hut ;Ai more temperate language. The debate was expe., sted to last two days at the least. The Colo gne G aze tt e : s t a t es t h at t h e P russ i an Cabinet h as decided on not renewing the narigat ion treaty of 2d March, 1841, between the Zollvet' ein which is about to terminat:: : he s a o n u d th E er n n gl s a t u a d tes of Germany objected to the treat being discontinued on account of the effect it mould I have on the importation of sugar ; but the Z' In the meantime the persons who were dependent on the collection of the tithe composition for the means of livelihood were reduced usuai to the greatest dis tress. Not only were their weraendfordinary sup bath,: legal sup plies withdrawn, but they a i - verished, by being obliged to urth i ulosti expenses of the proceedings tey defray tuted. Parliament came to their assistance, an of one million pounds sterling was first voted on their behalf, which was subsequently converted into a gift from the State to those whose legal rights it was un able, with all its power, to enforce, and Parliament acknowledged that all its authority was set at nought by the wide-spread, the universal organization and states were unanimous in resolving that it should not be renewed in its present form. The Cologne Gazette adds, that the dispatches directing the cessation of the treaty were sent to London last week. Madrid journals of the 14th have arrived. The QUEEN attended a bull-fight on Monday, and, notwithstanding the bando of the Political Chief, was greeted with loud vivas on her appearance. The Ministers have introduced into the Senate a Bill of Indemnity for havingbanishedAviaaNEra. and Casco to Alicant and Altneira. The Minister of the Interior, who introduced the measure, declared that he had no moral doubt of their guilt. The Bill authorising the Ministry to collect the taxes has passed the Senate by a large majority. Senor OLOZAGA, who has taken his seat in the Chamber, had solicited an audience of the QUEEN, in order personally to thank her MAJESTY for having permitted him to return to Spain. The Clamor Publico publishes a memorial ad dressed to her MAJESTY by MENDIZARAL, CORTINA, MADOZ, and GomEz DE LA SERNA, praying that Generals IRIARTE, LINAGE, RODIL, CAPAZ, and SANTA CRUZ may be permitted to return to Spain. The Spanish Government has not received any official account of the landing of any English troops in Portugal to protect the QUEEN. The Tiempo states that the negotiations between Spain and the Papal See are going on very favourably, and there is every reason to hope that they will be speedily terminated satisfactorily.

Their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert and the Duchess of Kent, visited yesterday, at Willis's Rooms, the Bazaar for the Relief of the Famine in Ireland and Distress in Scotland. The Prince was attended by Mr. G. E. Anson and Captain the Hon. A. H. Gordon; and the Royal Duchess was attended by Lady Augusta Bruce, Lady Fanny Howard, Sir George Couper, and Lord James Murray. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Helena, walked and rode on ponies yesterday in the Royal Gardens. Their Royal Highnesses Prince Alfred and the Prin cess Alice, accompanied by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, took an airing in an open carriage-and-four yesterday. Her Majesty and Prince Albert honoured her Ma jesty's Theatre with their presence last evening. The royal suite consisted of the Countess of Charlemont, Hon. Miss Kerr, Earl of Morton, Major- General W enayss, and Captain the Hon. A. H. Gordon. Her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Augusta Bruce, also honoured the performance at her Majesty's Theatre with her presence last evening. Among the visitors to inspect the pictures of the Queen aria Prince Albert and the Royal Family at St. James's Palace yesterday, were the Belgian Minister and Madame Van de Weyer, the American Minister and Mrs. Bancroft, Count Revel, the Sardinian Charge d'Affaires ; the Marchioness of Lansdowne, the Earl of Clarendon, Lady Cottenhani, the Chancellor of the Ex chequer and Lady Mary Wood, Sir James and Lady Graham, and the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visited her Majesty the Queen Dowager yesterday, at Marlborough House. On Monday there was a riot of a somewhat serious character at the College de France. The Minister of Public Instruction, M. SALVANDY, had, in pursuance of the reactionary plan which he has long been steadily carrying out, forbidden M. QUINET, the great opponent of the Jesuits, from con tinuing his lectures on the literature of Southern Europe. In these lectures M. QUINET had exposed the intrigues and doctrines of the Jesuits, and it was doubtless at the instigation of that bod 3 that M. SALVANDY issued his prohibition. On Mon day M. QUINET presented M. DUMAS lIINAirr as his substitute. The pupils, considering M. DUMAt , HINART as a mere tool of the parti-pretre, refused to listen to him, and at length compelled him to re tire. It certainly is strange that M. GUIZOT, with all his experience, should abet M. SALVANDY, in his absurd crusade against the University. Has M. GUIZOT forgotten the days of the Ilfini.stire deplorable, when he himself was forbidden to lecture ? Has he forgotten the triumph of his restoration to the pro fessor's chair under the Martignac Ministry—a triumph which led ultimately to his attaining his present high position ? But perhaps M. GUIZOT is anxious that M. QUINET too should become a Member of the Chamber and a Minister of the State—if so, he cannot do better than aid M. SALVANDY in these pro ceedings. A deputation respecting copper ore, had an inter view with Lord John RusF ; ell yesterday, at his official residence, in Downing -street. The deputation consisted of Sir Howard Douglas, M.P.; Mr. J. H. Vivian, M.P.; Mr. John Masterman, M.P.; Mr. G. F. Mintz, M.P. ; Mr. David Morris, M.P. ; Mr. Edward Protheroe, M.P.; Mr. J. Dennistoun. M.P. ; Mr. W. Aldha►n, M.P.; Hon, C. P.

The Buzancais rioters were executed on Friday. The 2lioniteur announces that the Chamber of Commerce, desirous to participate in a grand and highly useful enterprise, had voted a sum of 5,000 f. (2001.) to defray part of the expense of the explora tion of the Isthmus of Suez preparatory to the open ing of the canal which is to unite the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. According to the Siecle, M. GUIZOT has become so alarmed at the present state of affairs in Spain that he has determined to send Count BItESSON to Madrid without delay.

DEATH OF SIR WALTER SCOTT.—Died of dysen tery at the Cape of Good Hope,on his way home from Madras, Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Walter Scott, Bart., of Abbotsford, eldest son and last surviving child of the author of " Waver ley." Sir Walter was born in 1801, and was a Lieut.-Colone; in the 15th Hussars. The baronetcy is extinct, but the Abbotsford property passes to Walter Scott Lockhart, a Cornet in the 16th Lancers, the only son of the editor of the Quarterly Review, mat the only grandson of the author o " Waverley." Sir Walter was married in 1825, to a Miss Jobson, of Lochore, Fife, who still survives to lament, as all who knew him must do, an excellent officer, with many amiable quali ties and much kindness of heart. GRAY'S INN, APRIL 21.—Edward Crispe Eller" Esq., was this day called to the degree of Barrister-at-law by the Honourable Society of Gray's Inn. PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY. —We understanc that an Amateur Performance will take place on Saturday the 24:h instant, in aid of the funds of the Printers' Pension. Society, at the Olympic Theatre. This excellent Society i for the support of aged and infirm printers. An Arnateu• Performance in aid of its funds took place last year at th' Strand Theatre, which produced 541. We trust that thi year that sum will be exceeded. PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY. --SECOND AMATEUI, DRAMATIC PERFORMANCE AT THE OLYMPIC THEATRE.— A rumour having obtained extensive circulation that th sale of some portion of the properties of the Olympic Theatr, will prevent the performance in aid of the Printers' Pension. Society, announced to take place there to-morrow (Satur day), we have great pleasure in giving the flattest contra diction to such rumour. The performance will take plan.. and, we doubt not, with the success equal to that whici attended the efforts of the amateurs in beha:f of the charity at the Strand Theatre last year. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH, :ADMIRALTY EXTEN. stoic —Wednesday evening the operation of laying down tilt metal tubes through which the communicating wires pas: was concluded. The course taken from the telegraph office. is the Strand is as follows :—On the north side of the Stran to Nelson's Pillar, across Cockspar-street, through Spring gardens, passing Lord Fitzhardinge's mansion into St. James's Park, alongside the railings of Spring -gardens and under neath the Admiralty garden to the Telegraph-offices, whici. are already fitted up with the necessary apparatus, so thai communication can be transmitted as soon as the wires arr connected with the terminal. The above circuitous rout has been adopted to obviate the inconvenience which mus` necessarily have occurred by the passage of the pipes throng! the principal entrance. To preclude the possibility of an , defect in the communication, each wire is tested previoust to being encased in the tubes. DESTRUCTION OF AN ANCIENT MONUMENT.—Tht Inverness Courier mentions, amongst other casualties of th , late gale which visited Scotland on Thursday week, the par• tial destruction 'lt 1 , ancient obelisk, or standing stone a, Stanwick, parish Nigg, which was thrown down anti broken. The obehe > had various hieroglyphic sculpturing. and was supposed to commemorate the death and burial a Danish sea king, who, in the days of the Vikingr, was wrecked and drowned off the coast. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England had a general meeting yesterday. Sir Bellingham Graham had an interview yesterday with the Right Hon. E. Strutt. _ _ TUE Loss OF THE TWEED.—The subscription ser on foot for the purpose of rewarding the conduct of Captait Camp, the master, the chief mate, officers, and crew of th, Spanish brig Emilio, whose intrepid exertions saved the live: of 79 persons, who were wrecked on board the Tweed, alreaks amounts to 1,373/. ss. The Metropolitan Improvement Commission had a meeting yesterday in Whitehall place. The commis sioners present were Viscount Morpeth, the Lord Mayor, the Right Hon. J. C. Herries, Sir Robert Inglis, Sir Charles Lemon, Mr. Hope, Mr. Gore, and Mr. Milne. --- NATIONAL HALL, HIGH lionsonN.—A concert waF given here on Wednesday night in aid of the Metropolitat , Benefit Societies' Asylum, Ball's Pond, Islington, establishes: for the reception of aged and infirm members of benefit so cieties of both sexes, and the members of the Loyal United Friends, Old Friends, Foresters, Manchester Unity, Odd Fellows, Druids, and all societies having gift funds.

It appears that th, fire was fir , it perceived by one of the neighbours raging to the fourth. floor, tenanted by Mr. Rogers. An instanl alarm was spread, and intelligence was sent to the engine stations;. but before a single engine had time to arrive th, flames ',fad penetrated to the rout, and they were ascendink: a consi':terable height. The various engines of the London brigade, St. Ann's parish, the County, and West of Englanti office, arrived at the scene in rapid succession, and plenty of water being at hand, about half-a• dozen of the machine:- we're called into acquisition, but owing to the immense sizt of the premises, it was with great difficulty that the firemen 'could find out the exact seat of the flames, meanwhile the fire continued to progress, and very speedily it travelle , round the whole of the floor, doing serious damage to a vast number of valuable frames and pieces of ancient carving. route of the latter articles were stated, by one of the Work men, to belong to Lord Erskine and other noblemen. The firemen, by dint of great exertions, succeeded in getting t b . flames subdued by ball-past eleven o'clock, but not until very serious damage was done to Mr. Roger's stock in trade by tire and water. The roof is likewise part y '6l: • burned off. and the whole of the lower floors are saturated with water. ['he stock of Mr. Pierson is likewise extensively damaged, and so are the Jews' school, and Mr. Joelman's academy. It could not be ascertained how the fire originated ; the workmen all left their employment at nine o'clock, at which hour the building was locked up, when it appeared per fectly free from fire. None of the parties, it is believed, are insured. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Last night was one of the long Thursdays," and a glorious long Thursday it was; certainly the best " long Thursday" of the present season. The great event of the night was the first appearance of Mademoiselle Cerito, and of M. St. Leon. The first act of that most magnificent of ballets Lalla Roohh was produced for the debut of Cerito, and the pas de Schalls was given with exquisite grace and elegance. She afterwards appeared with St. Leon in the celebrated pas des quatre, from the Lac des fees. She is looking better, and danced with greater spirit and abandon than ever. In her peculiar line no danseuse has ever equalled the little realist of Naples. With her the dance is not the mere poetry of life—it is life itself. She dances from the very overflowing joyousness of her heart, and of all danseuses, she, par excellence, seems to enter into the spirit of the scene. ft is this which renders the dancing,of Cerito su fascinat ng and never was she more fascinating that last even ing. She was received with applause loud and long continued. Seldom is it that the aristocratic audience Hof her Majesty's Theatre displays such enthusiasm as ,hat with which Cerito was greeted last evening ; ynd seldom, indeed, is it that the applause has been so sell desired. We rejoice at the return of Cerito, o the scene of her many former triumphs, where, doubtless, many frseh triumphs are in store for her. The ~ pera was the Elisir d'Arn6re, with Lablache as the Doctor, Madame Castellan as Adina, Gardoni as Neme rino ; and though last, not least, F. Lablache as Belcore. To say that Lablache was Dr. Dulcateura, is to say :hat the part of the Doctor was represented in a manner in which it could be represented upon no other Lyrical stage in the world. When an actor shall ari*e who shall be superior to Kean in Sir Giles, to Cooke in itichard, to Kemble in Coriolanus, to Liston in Paul "Ory. and to old Charles Alathews in Sir Fretful Pia then, and not until then, may we hope to see the equal of Lablache. An apology was made for Mada me . . Castellan, who it was saidwaslabouring under initispo iition, but the apology was not needed ; she sang and acted beautifully, was repeatedly encored, and was the very Adina of the author. Gardoni was an admirable Netiaorino. Had Donizette composed the nusic for him he could not have been fitted better. He was in good voice, and sung and acted exquisitely. The car-famed duet obbligato was never more tastefully ren lered than it was last night by Gardoni and Lablache. F. I,ablache, too, was admirable as Sergeant Belcore. He is mellowing into a richly humorous buffo, and is worthy of the name he bears. All the artistes were called for At the conclusion of the opera. Then followed the selec tion from Lalki Rookh, with Cerito and St. Leon, to , vhich we have before alluded ; and then we had the last act of 1 Due Foscari, in which Coletti, as usual, created quite a furore. Marie Taglioni then danced her exquisite pas from Caralia. and then followed the pas de ,uatre from the Lac des Fees, for Cerito and St. Leon. the ballet of Orithia (in which was introduced a pas for i'errot and Rosati) concluded the evening's entertain :flent. The acting of Lucile Grahn in this ballet is beautifully classical. Imegine a chef d'oeuvre of .Incient Grecian statuary endowed with life, and you may form some idea of Lucile Grahn in Orithia. the music of this ballet is very beautiful ; it is more characteristic, more original, more thoroughly original than that of the generality of compositions of this nature. There is a little solo bit for the oboe, which is a perfect gem ; it was exquisitely given, and was most deservedly applauded. The house was crowded to excess in every part. NATIONAL CLUB.—We perceive, from an adver tisement which appears in another column, that the new club-house of the National Club is opened for members. It is evident that the National Club intend conducting matters with spirit; and it therefore behoves the free traders, and the members of the liberal party, to be on the qui vice. His Excellency the Baron Schemmelpeninck, Dutch A.mbassader to the British Court, arrived in London yester day by the General Steam Navigation Company's steam ship Giraffe, that left Rotterdam the previous day. An incident took place on the Custom House-quay on Tuesday, which deserves to be noticed. A strapping young country girl. along with her sweetheart, embarked on ooard one of the emigrant ships then lying at the quay, with the intention of sailing for America, and being there married. The fair emigrant was possessed, moreover, of a dot of 2001., which she discreetly placed in the hands of the captain of the vessel, and had hardly done so when ber companion and intended applied to her for a portion of it. f his she refused; whereupon he coolly bid her good morn :fig, and disembarked. The deserted damsel, however, ad vanced to the gunwale, there harangued a large mob, who ,ptedily collected to hear her, and ended, not by throwing herself into the river, but by assuring the crowd that if any young fellow who heard her, was willing to take the place of tier faithless swain, she was quite ready to accept of his ser vices upon the same terms. A handsome young mason who happened to be among the atanders by, immediately offered himself, and was accepted on the spot. The captain very oroperly sent to make inquir ies about him, and found that tie was, as he represented himself, a single man ; and tilt. lartips to this extempore match sailed with that very tide for the shores of America.—Dublis Herald. HEALTH or TOWNS.—Medical gentlemen in the country are now closely drawing their attention to the state and condition of dwellings, and to the inmates of them, both ,n towns and villages, in order to the affording information therron. Every person valuing cleanliness, good health, and comfort, will be very glad of t hi s. Landlords who do no t see t() their . tenants' dwellings being in a proper condition may iiot only expect (through ill-health and disease) to lose rent, hut entail upon the ratepayers at large a great burden, by causing increased claims upon the parochial funds. It is a lamentable fact, that numbers of landlords have looked but to one thing—reNt ; and have, in consequence, brought upon themselves a vast amount of blame. SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.—Mr. Alfred Barnard, o . 'teller, informs us that he "has had the honour of sub mitting plans to Lord John Russell (in the event of war) t , connect the Channel Islands, Southampton, and the Admi ralty, by submarine telegraph, consisting only of one wire. the Qea forming the trough to complete the return of th, electric current; when, simultaneously, a peal of bells mg, rimy, here and at Southampton, calling the attention the officer to the communication about to be transmiLt This experiment," adds Mr. Alfred Barnard, "has just he ‘NAccorily proved near the palace at Osborne. —Jersey Pm, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

A very considerable degree of interest is felt in the City in the promotion of the subscription in favour of the captain and crew of the "Emilio," who so humanely went out of their course to rescue that portion of the crew. and the passengers of the Royal Mail steam packet which was wrecked on the Alacranes reef, during the passage of the ship from Havannah to Vera Cruz, on the 12th February last, the details of which unfortunate loss have been already fully made public. Including the subscriptions up to this day, very nearly 1,5001. has been received, in which we reckon the amount given by her Majesty's Government to Captain Camp of 5004, with a gold medal. It is most sanguinely expected that the sum raised will far exceed the amount above stated. To encourage such praiseworthy exertions on the part of foreigners towards our ships and crews i❑ distress and danger, too strong a demonstration cannot be made in such a maritime country as this. Much curiosity is evinced in the perusal now of letters from the provinces when any authentic information is contained of the state of trade or the eff.ct of the Bank of England measures. As far as can be ascertained, the country banks are following in the wake of the Bank of England, and are compelled to limit the accommodation usually afforded to their cus tomers. The intelligence from Paris also indicates the continuance of rather an uneasy state of things, princi pally owing to the money wants of the Government. At Amsterdam the rate of discount on bills of exchange rules as low as four per cent., but the higher charges prevalent here will attract capital from that quarter. As the Bank of England now declines some of the paper offered to it, and discounts generally above the " minimum" rate, where paper has more than a short time to run, it is hardly expected that there will be any further public announcement of an increased charge, for the present, even though the rate out of doors is above the Bank of England terms. The Funds have receded to-day. Consols have been 864 to 87 for transfer, and 861 to 87* for May. Ex chequer• bills are par to 2s. premium, and East India Bonds have been done at par. Bank Stock is worth 193 to 195. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 874 to 88. LATEST BETTING.

DEATII OP ♦ LADY 1 , 1/0141 ALLEGED DESTITUTION —Wednesday Mr. Wakley held an inquest at the University College Hoipitat, an the body of a female, supposed to be about sixty years of age, and named Lydia Ann Downes, whose deat h took place under the following circumstances. Thomas Delluaey, police-constable 230 S, deposed that on Sunday night, about twelve o'clock, he was on duty in Sey ucustruonn- there was a woolen in his tap-room he feared dying. ascitiuoantePublhice-nhohuese,waanadseinntfofrmeredbyththaet l m an oti d r lo -etr rd ee of t ih E e of the Wit ness went them and found deceased . lying upon on benches andked for The half a pint of she came in about ten o ' clock, as is an apparently dying state . with her into the tap room. d to that ed Basis' &ace, and brought decease Witnissi procured 1 ts were administered. She was in sensibleporter made hot, which she took hospital, where stimu lan ts but rallied sufficiently to state that she at the time, lived in and died in au hour after. She Somers-town, but again relapsed a a frightfully emaciated and filthy condition. Mr. was in a Johnson-street, Somer 8 Town, said the Francis Cook, of . Johnson-street , of the top rooms of his house into tat j e e o h f nsu ins n en a s t which she paid 2s per week quarterly. Sh e four years, for . deceased had occupied one was a most eccentric character, and no human being ever en he had found, there was no doubt s h e h ad t e red her apartment but herself , until since her death, and f rom documents been highly connected. Among them were receipted bills made out in the deceased's name, to the amount of 23,000 1. e bill was for post-horses at a guinea per day; another, 1001. for garden seeds ; but the most important were legal documents, showing that the deceased had been the defend ant in a Chancery suit, and that by an adverse decision of the court she had been entirely deprived of very large estates in Northamptonshire. Another bill showed she had paid four guineas and a half for a white silk bonnet. Deceased was a remarkably fine and high. spirited woman, and although she appeared in the deepetit pov,erty, she would never ask a favour. He be lieved deceased was a recipient of some annuity, which she obtained from the Strand somewhere, but he could not tell where. It must, however, have been very stall. She always paid her rent punctually, and a quarter was due on the 27th inst. Deegosed bit home on Sunday night, about ten o'clock. On entering her apartment since death a frightful scene of misery presented itself, the whole of the furniture, consisting of a broken table and chair, and a mat, which served as a bed. The floor was sole deep in filth, and on the mattress being moved, it wds one mass of vermin. There was no property, or a particle of food, clothing, or, firing in the place. After some further evidence the jury re turned a verdict, " That deceased di e d f rom natural causes, m b u o t . whether r i f e r s o m u f l e i x fe h , a t u h s e t r i o e n w p a r s o dnuoctedsut tiheentwealnitdoenfeceoint; show." DEPLORABLE IGNORANCE.—If the " Education Question" is allowed to pass, we propose that the first per sons to receive the benefits of the new Act should be Mr. Meagher and the Irish patriots who have been lately dis playing their sad want of education at the Irish Confederation n Dublin. It is pitiable to think that persons who have the ; ;wer of doing so much mischief should be allowed to re nain in their present hopeless state of ignorance. It is he bounden duty of the Government to teach them better. —Punch.
