DUCHIES OF PARIVIA AND PLACENTIA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir, —ln a morning paper of Saturday, the Ist of flay, my directed to a correspon dnemyt at e t tr• containing some very interesting details on I tal y ; and after referring to the deplorable state of degradation correspon dent's :)ti° n 3 inhabitants of Par ma and Placenta are reduced under from 11111 been an to which the i the present form of government; , allusion is made to the "Ex Empress Maria Louisa 's wish to dispose of theie duChies at the present moment to the Duke of Lucca for a million of ducats, provided any good Samaritan or Israelite in London will advance the money to purchase her out, in consequence of these p o ssessions reverting to the Duke of Lucca by the lasktmity of Vienna. The impossibility of obtaining access to enlightened works on political or historical subjects, in all parts of the Austrian dominions, sufficiently explains any in accuracy into which the correspondent at Milan may have been led ; for this clause of reservation does not exist in the treaty of Vienna. I am therefore desirous to state th a t ne ith er by the life-grant of these possession s wi t h G uasta ll a t o th e Duchess of Parma, or in virtue of an y treaty during my minority in 1815 a t Vi enna, or 1817 in Paris, could such a result be tol era t e d , i n accor d ance w ith my hereditary r i g ht s as a Sovereign Prince, and the laws of nations ; an d I f ee l convinced that more j us t and satisfactory compensations might be awarded to the Duke of Lucca, without prejudice to his interests,l or encroachment on prior claims. It will suffice to observe that Guastalla was pur chased of Torelli in the year 1539, by Prince Fer rante of Go nzaga, son o f our ances t or in direct line, John Fra n vo i s G onzaga, Duke of M an t ua , a nd Isabella D'Este, an d thi s possess i on was erec t e d into a sove reign duchy Ferdinand IL,' in favour of Ferrante IL, di Gonzaga , in 1621, by the Emperor of Germany , and his descendants. Guastalla was incorporated by Austria, without a shadow of right, with the duchies of Parma and Placentia, during the minority of my grandfather, Prince Philippe Louis di Gonzaga, aged only six years, on the death of Gonzaga, Duke of Guastalla, in 1746. My protestations against this act are addressed to the Sovereigns of Europe, on the 26th April, 1843 ; the 21st June, 1846 ; and also an important article on this subject may be referred to in the Gazette de France of Feb. 3, 1842. With regard to the duchies of Parma and Pla. centia, various resolutions have taken place in these states. AUSTRALIAN COLONIES. (From the Caledonian Mercury) The disposal of our convicts is of vital interest as regards our social economy, and also enters deeply into the future progress of our Australian colonies. At present the whole subject is under the considera tion of our Home Government, who are inclined to restrict the immediate or direct transportation to fe males, and retain male convicts to undergo a peni tentiary probation in this country, as a preliminary to a compulsory exile to Asia, Africa, or America, as they shall choose—the condition of their ransom being simply that their futura lot shall be cast in remote lands. In introducing an extensive alteration of this nature into our penal administration, great weight. must necessarily be given to the opinions of those in New South Wales who are versant with the whole working of the convict system ; accordingly, a select committee of the Legislative Council of New South Wales was appointed to report on a dispatch by the Government of Sir Robert Peel, respecting the renewal of transportation to the colony. That report has now been published, and along with the same the evidence of Benjamin Boyd, Esq., a familiar name in Australia. Mr. Boyd is one of the largest capitalists, and a most enterprising colonist, employ ing upwards of 800 people ; and from his general intelligence and intimate knowledge both of the in ternal resources and foreign trade of New South Wales, his testimony has been justly regarded of great value by the committee, who have adopted several of his leading suggestions. If it was referred to the inhabitants of this colony, whether the transportation of. convicts should cease altogether, it is believed that a large majority, and ospecially of the operative classes, would gladly be rid of the taint, whatever might be the effect in retarding the progress of the colony. They have had too bitter an experience of the frightful depravity engendered by the system, as practised of late years, to think that any mercenary considerations could compensate for such a gangrene. In this feeling all classes in the colony would participate, if the alternative was the abolition of transportation altogether, or its continuance under the present revolting regulations where the male con victs are aggregated in masses or chain gangs. But if the convict system was modified, and the colony saved from those vicious and detestable influences which are the inseparable results of that frightful com bination, then the more intelligent and enterprisingco lonists consider that transportation might be rendered a valuable agency in the advancement of the colony. This opinion is given by Mr. Boyd, and enforced in the report ofthe committee, but always under the qualification that voluntary emigration must exceedpenal emigration, so that the noxious elements of the latter may be absorbed and neutralised in the swelling tide of a free and in dustrious population. What New South Wales re quiees is, labour to keep pace with the productive agencies of the colony. Now Mr. Boyd estimates the quantity of sheep in the colony at seven millions, and of cattle one million and a half. We may men tion, in passing, that these multitudinous herds are all derived from three or four sheep and as many cattle, that, about half a century since, were sent out from the farm of George 111. to stock his infant colony. Taking the increase for the first year at two millions and a half of sheep, and half a million of cattle, and keeping in view the geometrical progres sion in succeeding years, Mr. Boyd calculates that in the tending, &c., of these increasing flocks, taking three men and a quarter for every thousand sheep, and one man for every 500 cattle—would be afforded a corresponding outlet for agricultural labour. The number of men immediately required he estimates at 10,000, and taking the colony throughout, he con siders that number rather under than over the limit. But such is the scarcity of labour, and so inadequate to these productive resources of the colony, that in some districts it is impossible to procure hands for the shearing, and so the valuable fleece is lost. It is clear that with the finest pastures and breeds, it is just as impossible to reap the results without a corresponding human agency as to expect grain without the usual agricultural appli ances. Unless, therefore, New South Wales is pro perly supplied with labour, no matter whether by convicts or fr e e men , th e pas t ora l an d Inex h aus tibl e re sources Bo ywd says, ehav ~u e ne described, v.e getmu a st a im best m in ed te i d de in fact, Mr. swallowed Havingm ust c euaspe thus to n shownbtr ehee h d iow augmentingrapidly labour rodu eon ofe evi dencewtoul the dhe e ccolony, f the r r . e .L3 p report d o f turnthe to t he committeei)consideration and a c l o h of the fa o ri it is o e u x g pe d t i r e a n n t s to tntrecruition convict this annualsystem, demand andhv' for o l bur t h h bvt concomitant with a preponderating influxpor of fre e . emigrants. Of the emigrants who have from time to been sent out, it has been found, generally speaking, that they do not constitute so useful a class of labour ers as the convicts or ticket-of-leave holders. Where convicts, on landing, have been at once assigned and distributed in the interior, without passing through the probation system, they have, with few ex ceptions, turned out to be well conducted and effi • cient servants. They are extensively scattered over the remote districts, thus removed from those contagious influences which would beset them in the towns, and which, when herding together in chain gangs, break forth in the most aggravating form. In short, the institution of those gangs, and the at tempted application of discipline and correction to human beings in such circumstances have proved a miserable failure. Mr. Boyd says, "as regards the probation system in Van Dieman's Land, I am, therefore, of opinion that it is productive of the very worst results; the natural effects of men of vicious habits and strong passions herding together, must, so far from tending to their improvement, only confirm their vices, and further demoralise them. To use a pastoral figure, in such a situation, they may be compared to a flock of sheep infected with the virulent ' scab' of this corny—we may dress them with whatever ointment we please, but we are all aware that unless at the same time we remove them to clean pastures, the disease will soon break out worse than ever ; thus it is that the attempt to amend criminals in a probation party, instead of removing them from corrupting influences, must aggravate the moral dis ease, whilst, on the other hand, their removal at once from home, and dispersing them generally throughout this colony would tend towards their moral improvement instead of their farther degra dation."

The Emperor Otho 111., by a diplome dated at Rome, the 11th June, 996, confirmed Bernard I. Prince of Gonzaga in his rights as Count Sovereign of Parma, for him and his descendants. Prince Henry de Gonzago (son of Adalbert I. of Gonzaga, by the grace of God, Count Sovereign of Milan, of Tessin°, and of Valais, Prince of Lombardy, and Marquis of Gonzaga), married in 1071 Imelda of Parma, great grand-daughter of Gonzaga, Count of Parma. On this marriage, the Emperor Henry IV. erected Parma into a marquisite by diplonze dated the 24th June, 1075, in favour of the above-mentioned Henry di Gonzaga and his descendants in all the branches of the family. The Marquisate of Parma belonged to the house of Gonzaga until the revolution in Italy during the Fourteenth century, when Parma became a republic. In 1545, the Holy See being in quiet possession of this State, the Pope, Paul 111., formerly known as Alesander di Farneze, disposed of it in favour of his relation, Peter Louis Farneze, first Duke of Parma, Placentia, and Castro, who, being unpopular, was assassinated on the 10th of Septernte r, 1547, and (after some opposition on the part of the Emperor Charles V., who had announced his resolution to Ferrante di Gonzaga, Duke of Guastalla in 1546, to favour the restoration of the Gonzagas), his son, Oc tavio Farneze, who was confirmed in the same rights and titles on his marriage with Margaret of Austria, a natural daughter of Chales V. Parma and its de pendencies were assured to the house of Farneze nearly two centuries, until the death of Antonio Far neze, last Duke of Parma, the 20th February, 1731. The treaty of the Quadruple Alliance, Art. sth, says :—" The Duchies of Parma, Placentia, and Tus cany are held as masculine fiefs of the empire. When the succession of these States shall be open " (which they could only be on the death of the Duke of Gon zaga, Guastalla, and the Prince Gonzaga Castiglione, authentically acknowledged as rightful heirs of the treaties), they will be given to the eldest son of Eli zabeth Farneze, a second wife of Philippe V., King of Spiin. Art. 3d of the Treaty of Vienna (16th March, 1731), says:—" The Emperor accords the succession of Parma to Don Carlos, Infanta of Spain, and pro mises to dispose the other States of the empire to assent to this arrangement, on condition that no Prince wearing the crown of Spain shall possess these States. But the Pope Clement XII. not only formally op posed this treaty, but also the entry of the Spaniards into these Duchies, declaring that Parma and Pla centia were fiefs immediately emanating from the Holy See, and that, in default of the above mentioned male heirs, he alone had the right to dispose of these Duchies. The Pope's protestation against the right of inves titure is dated the 30th of December, 1731. The prise de possessione, in the name of the Infanta Don Carlos, was on the 29th October, 1731. Don Carlos, and his brother Philippe, infanta of Spain, abdicated successively the Duchies of Parma and Placentia, for the crowns of Spain and Naples, consequently our rights to these possessions are proved,. and by succession in the feroaleline established by the following marriages :- Ist, Margaret Farneze, daughter of Alexander Duke of Parma, and Placentia., married in 1581 Vin cent di Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua. 2d, Marcella di Malespina, grand-daughter of Francois Farneze, Duke of Latera, married in 1615 Prince Christian Gonzaga di Castiglione and Solfe rino, my ancestor in direct line. 3d, Isabella di Martinengo, grand-daughter o f Ramise I Farneze, Duke of Parma and .Placentia, married in 1647 Prince Charles V. di Gonzaga, Prince of Castiglioni, Solferino, and Medole, my great grandfather. 4th, Princess Julia Clitteria Caraccoli St. Buono, grand-daughter of Lavinia dr Farneze, and the Mar quis Alphonse cl'Azalos, married in 1772, Prince Francois Gonzaga Mantua Castiglione my great great-grandfather. In presence of these facts, it will be perceived that the treaties, those laws which bind all interests, and which are the political code of nations, had been for gotten during my minority in 1815, and the minori ties of my father and grandfather, or retarded when ever the Princes of the house of Gonzaga reclaimed that justice so solemnly promised to reinstate them in their sovereign rights. Guastalla, Parma, and Placentia, during the last century, belonged to no person definitely ; at one time the Emperor pretends to dispose of them to Spain, and Spain disposes of them to the Emperor. And in virtue of what right do these Princes act ? The treaties do not mention this ; on the contrary, they establish as a principle that there exist Princes of the house of Gon zaga, of Mantua, and Castiglione, who have an incon. testible right to those sovereignties. The order of succession, says Montesquieu, is or d dned in monarchies for the good of the state, which demands that this order should be fixed to avoid the misfortunes which' arise - from despotism, where all is uncertain, because all is arbitrary. • - In - Italy the fatal policy of Louis XIV. still bears its frilits. Lawful sovereigns have been hurled from. their . throne., and princes in their minority sup planted, to pave the way for his ambitious views, and their places filled by strangers to the land ; for it is a remarkable fact, that with the exception of our well beloved Pope Pius IX. and the King of Sardinia, no prince of Italian origin is on any throne in Italy. The Sovereigns of Tuscany, of Modena, Parma, and even Austria, are all Princes of the house of Lorraine. Accept, Sir, the assurance of my high consideration, ALEXANDER, Prince de Gonsaga, Mantua, Castiglione, Due de Mantua. 19, Dorset-place, Dorset-square, May 6, 1847. " 1.

Dy summand of Major-General Scott, 11. L. SCOTT, Assistant Acting Adjutant-General. The Mexican loss is about 1,000, one-half women and children. General Valdez is among the killed. The troops dispersed by Colonel Harney were Rancheros, and were not commanded by General La Vega. Th e brigade of General Quitman was to leave on the 30 th to attack Alvarado. 'lnc gun-boats and small steamers were to escort him. It was the intention of General Scott to push on towards the city of Mexico. During the bombardment of Vera Cruz, the United States' army used the following number of shot:— ARMY BATTERY. 8,000 ten-inch she ll • 500 round shot 200 eight inch howitzer shells 6B „ GENERAL PATTERSON'S NAVY BATTERY. 1.000 Paixhan shot 800 round shot DIUSQUITO FLEET, CAPTAIN TATNALL. 1,200 shut and shell, averaging ... 62 „ Makin.. in all 6,70 0 shot a nd shell, weighing 403,5901b5. The destruction in the city is said to be most awful — one half of it is reported to be destroyed. Houses are blown to pieces and furniture scattered in every direc tion —the streets torn up, and the strongest buildings seriously damaged. In carrying out this scheme of secondary punish ment, which is not only abortive in itself but posi tively pernicious to any community, it is calculated that half a million is annually spent by this country, besides the cost of penal establishments in this coun try, which last, in a great degree, only serve as a temporary location for the youthful criminals, while fulfilling that career which ends in transportation. Now, the committee of the Legislative Council, in sanctioning the resumption of transportation accom panied with the dispersion of the convicts in the manner stated, expressly stipulate that a free emi gration of both axes, and to an extent at least double that of conviobs transported, must take place at the same time. The cost of this emigration to the Home Government, they calculate, would be greatly les sened by the saving from the abolition of the convict penal establishments. But so advantageous, and, indeed, essential to this colony is an additional supply of labour, and in so far as derived from transpor tation, that it should be exceeded by that from free emigration, that the colonists would rather aid the Home Government in securing emigration by means of a loan secured on the landed fund of the colony, in the shape of a terminable annuity as suggested by Mr. Boyd, than run any risk of unduly increasing the convict population. If five thousand convicts were imported annually, and an emigration of males and females could be assured by the Government to the extent of ten thousand, such are the resources of this colony, that this large ac cession to the population, so far from being the maxi.. mum, is described as the minimum amount of labour that the colony could annually absorb. This need not be surprising when it is considered that the meat at present derived from the flocks and herds of Australia is equivalent to the supply of more than twenty times the existing population ! But the evidence of Mr. Boyd, and which is here specially founded on by the committee, shows that the colony possesses other and unexplored chan nels of unbounded enterprise in its forests, mines, and fisheries. Th ose first two sources of wealth, the wood and minerals, are unheeded from the want of the necessary labour ; and the valuable fisheries, from the same cause, are scarcely attempted by'the colony, although the Americans have no less that 670 wl'al ing vessels in the Pacific, employing upwards of 0,000 men, and consuming above 9 00,000/. value in provisions. These American vessels come a distance of 16,000 miles to fish on the Australian coast, and derive great wealth from their enterprise, while New South Wales, in its present state, is unable to take advantage of these fisheries with all the facilities af forded by locality. In short, it is impossible to esti mate what , might soon achieve if labour wasaNailable t this country, to be diverted into hfs as cionlony every productive source. •.. t DREADFUL MURDER NEAR MANCIIESTER.—Be tween eight and nine on Wednesday morning John Cook son went to the house of a market gardener named Francis Dakin, at Chorlton, for the purpose of returning a basket which he had borrowed. He learned from one of Dakin's sons that he was gone to a beer-house kept by George Leach, who is also a mechanic. This beer-house is only separated from Dakin's residence by the garden of the latter and a lane. Cookson went to the beer-house to Dakin, and continued drinking with him and Leach until about four o'clock in the afternoon, the three having drunk in the meantime about six quarts of ale. About that time Leach and his wife began to quarrel, and after some words the latter ran into the room. Leach also left the room where they were drinking, and going to the kitchen took out of the knife-box a carving-knife. Untortunately, Dakin at that moment got up, and was leav ing the room, Leach met him in the passage, and before Dakin could speak shouted out, " I'll have noody interfer ing between me and my wife," and plunged the knife into his body. It passed through the heart, and the point of the blade came out at the back. Dakin fell to the ground in stantly without speaking a word. The murderer returned into the room where he had been sitting before the quarrel occurred. Cookson, the only witness of the deed, said, " Oh, George, what have you done? you have killed a feLow-creature who never injured you," and watching his opportunity snatched the knife from him, and sending for a policeman gave him into custody The prisoner made no resistance, and was taken at once to the Stretford lock-up, and the next morning he was brought up before Mr. H. L. Trafford, stipendiary magistrate, and two of the county ma gistrates, but was remanded until to-morrow (Saturday), in conseouence of the absence of the medical witnesses. HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST —On Friday evening a meeting was held in the board-room of the institution, Edward Speers, Esq., in the chair. After the disposal of the usual routine business, it was stated that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge would preside at the forthcoming anniversary "festival. Among the stewards are the distinguished names of the Duke of Montrose, the Marquis of Aylesbury, Earl Corn wallis, Earls Eldon and Effingham, Viscount Sidney, Viscount Newport, M.P., and several other noblemen and gentlemen of influence and distinction. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY _MORNING, MAY 10, 1847. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. _ On Saturday night Roberto it Diavolo was repeated ; and again Jenny Lind added another triumph to tho.e which, as a great singer and a great actor, she has already achieved in this country. A further hearing gives these further results as regards her musical power: her capacity to execute volant passages surpasses that of any known vocalist, each note being accurately and sepa rately articulated with the nicety and finish of an in strument ; but her merits do not stop there, for these mechanical arts are entirely subordinate to the poetical expression, and the hearer is not so much surprised as intensely gratified by her execution. That she is an excellent musician there are proofs in her taste, her modes of phrasing, her exquisite sostenuto, and her rare judiciousness. A safer singer it is impossible to con ceive ; or one who risks less, or rather who has more thoroughly blotted out the word " chance" from her artistic vocabulary. Another pleasing feature in her execution is the mode of emission of sound—it wells out like a full spring, clear and free, without effort and without straining. In no respect is there the slightest grounds for impeaching her title of the " Queen of 50n..." She has the genius and the science of Malibran, with more than Malibran's execution—if that were possible ; and she has unquestionably a far superior organ to that gifted and extraordinary singer. Iler voice is a pure soprano, rich, full, and mellifluous—clear, distinct, and bell-like, with a wondrous evenness of texture through out. It extends to 1) in alt, a point :he rea •hes without loss of power or tone, and fully realises the beautiful description of the poet (Shelley, '• Prometheus Un bound") : TrIARYLEBONE VESTRY. TIEALTII OF TOWNS BILL—REPORT -OF DE - PUTATION TO LORD MORPETH. On Saturday, at a very full meeting of the Marylebone Vestry, the Rev. Dr. Spry stated that he had waited upon Lord Morpeth to present the memorial from the riarish against the Health of Towns Bill, and that his Lordship had received the statements of the deputation with the greatest courtesy and attention, and his belief, from what his Lordship had stated at the conclusion of the interview was, that a measure would ultimately be framed, which would be unobjectionable. His Lordship had declared that the Government had no desire to inter fere with the popular principle of representation. The Rev. Dr. SPRY said he was bound to acknowledge the courtesy and attention which Lord Morpeth paid to the statements of the deputation, and his belief was, from what his Lordship had stated at the conclusion of the interview,. that a measure would ultimately be framed which could be unquestionable. His Lordship declared that the Government had no desire to interfere with the popular principle of representation. Mr. G. DANIELL, in moving that the memorial be en tered on the minutes, said that when the deputation wt before Lord Morpeth. they were met by his Lordship with the memorials, which contained the most barefaced and impudent falsehoods. One was from parties who Were no doubt commissioners in expectancy under the Bill.—(Laughter.) They told his Lordship that Mary lebone was the most filthy and unhealthy.distriet of till London.—(Laughter.) That in a sanatory point of viEw it was ten times worse than either Whitechapel or St. Glles's, and that the carrying of the Health of Towns Bill would save above five hundred lives in Marylebone alone every year.—(Renewed laughter.) The other me morial came frdm certain ratepayers of Marylehone, re sident in the highway district, calling them elves by the title of a 6‘ Protection Society." He would not desig nate the conduct of those parties as contemptible, but he would say they were just the sort of Persons who were only fit for commissioners under the Bill.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WILLIANs, M.P., condemned the wholesale oppo sition of the vestry to the machinery of the Health of Towns Bill. He considered that some gentlemen had with regard to this measure conjured up a phantom, and called it by the natne of centralisation.—(Nn. no.) H e was as much opposed to the principles of centralisation as any one, but when he found the Government about to carry on a mat public work, having for its object the improvement of the health and social condition of the people, he was at a loss "to conceive how it could be called by such a name.—(Hear, hear.) He admitted that the present sytem of sewage boards was a total failure, as exhibited by the fact that in that district they had a worse sewage, while they paid 50 per cent. more for it, than the district adjoining. He thought it would be far better for them to call upon the Government to give them powers under the Health of Towns Bill to carry out the sewage and other matters in their own district, rather than oppose the Bill entirely. After some further discussion, the motion was put and carried. DISFRANCHISEMENT OF VOTERS FOR NON- Clear, silver, icy, keen, awakening tones Which pierce the sense, and live within the soul ; As the sharp stars pierce winter's chrystal air, And gaz3 upon themselves within the sea." Her execution is, perhaps, the most extraordinary thing ever known in music. She not only enunciates every note with the distinctness and precision of a piano forte, but she enriches the cantabile as well as the can tilena of her song with the most beautiful embellish ments. Not only is she enabled by the force and flexibility of her organ to exhibit the swell or messa di voce, which singers of the highest pretension pride them selves upon possessing, but she has also the power of expressing the opposite attribute—a power singularly rare in vocal mechanism, namely, that of attenuating a note so delicately as to give the sound all the effect of extreme distance. Here is also the full fa culty termed tempo rubato—that is to say, the faculty of retarding or accelerati n g the " measure " at. will. Add to this, that her shake is open and perfect—that desideratum in vocal execution ; that her cadenze are appropriate and masterly ; that the purity and rapidity of her chromatic passages are beyond de scription; that her velocity is only equalled byher neat ness of execution in those parts that need it ; that her voice has that rare combination of qualities in a singer, mellowness, distinctness, and sweetness ; and that her intonation is so perfect that it would almost appear im possible for her to sing out of tune, and the reader will have a faint idea of the gifts of this extraordinary artiste as a vocalist. As an actress she is no less excellent ; and the impression she made in that capacity was no less profound than that which she produced as a singer. There is no conventionality about her, no seizing the strong points of a character and letting all the rest drop. She acts her part thoroughly; and whether she is singing or is confined to mere by-play, her histrionic exertions are of the same nature—excellent. Hence a m'rfect na tural expression, and an infinite variety of gesture. All seems dictated by the moment, and yet all is graceful. There is no stereotyped form for love, anger, or passion; each action has the impress of immediate inspiration. Her whole performance was a conception of the first order adequately expressed ; a histrionic study of which each feature is equally good. Apropos of feature, the reader will doubtless desire to learn something about the personal appearance of this gifted lady ; and albeit unused to the descriptive in mat ters pertaining to the fair sex, the writer will endeavour to gratify him. Among the "thousand and one" por traits of her, that published by Mr. Mitchell, of Bond street, gives the character of the countenance most satisfactorily, though in some respects it differs from the original. She is not plain ; and she is not handsome. She is not plain, because the deep-seated eye and the broad and lofty brow redeem the other features of the face from such an imputation; and she is not handsome, because there is no beauty without regularity of feature. This is premised of her face in a state of repose. But she is more than beautiful when her soul lights up her countenance—when she warms to her part in the mimic scene, and embraces it with all the intensity of an artist; and though the features may not be regular, net. the traits of her countenance of that classical character which men in all ages have agreed to exalt and elevate as the standard of perfection, she possesses that which is more precious than mere physical perfection—the vivida vis animi of the poet, and the spectator beholds, with astonishment and delight, "The mind, the music, breathing from her.face." "Remarkably modest and prepossessing in looks, with goodness • and amiability written upon every feature," observes an able contemporary, " there is a charm encir cline her to which few could be indifferent. Her fair hair, her blue eyes, and her slight figure , are facts to be jotted down; but the intelligence and child like good nature which overrule every thing else, are less tangible, and it would be hard to de fine'the sensibility, the benevolence, and the innumerable little graces reflective of femine worth and Guilelessness which play over her visage, producing an effect ineffably special, amiable and engaging," The same intelligent critic adds, with equal appropriateness and apparent truth—" When Nliss Bremer, in the novel which first made Jenny Lind's name known to the English public described her as captivating,' it is clear she was not wrong; and the estimate of Andersen, the Dani , h poet,who womanpronounces and h a e r ' f ai t p h u f r u e l - pure-hearted, friend'—the pious te a n ( sympathies d— a a t noble e Lstify it, though nn one can tell wherefore." housekeepers are measuring the looking glasses and hangings to see if they wil.' suit the new menage.---(Snob will brag years that he ,ias purchased this or that at Dives's sale,) and Mr. Hstumerdown is siteing on the greet mahogany dining-tables, in the dininr-room be low, ,waving the ivory hammer, and employing t..llthe arti fices of eloquence, enthusiasm, entreaty., reason, despair ; shouting; to his people ; satirising Mr. Day ids for his slaggisht:m;s; inspiriting Mrs. Moss into action; imploring, commanding, bellowing, until down comes the hammer like fate, and we pass to the next lot. 0 Dives, who would ever _have thought, as we sat round the broad table sparkliqg with plate and spotless linen, ever to have seen suet t a dish at the head of it as that roaring auctioneer?" MAGAZINES—(CONTINUED.) 611111STOPI1E.R TADPOLE Albert Smith still progresses merrily, and, in good ruth, the interest is fully kept up; indeed, it increases s it goes on, and.each succeeding number improves on ie preceding one. We are introduced in the first chapter ) a new character, and one who promises to fill a posi-. ion ofno trifling importance in the progreS: of the . It is young Sir Frederick Arden, who turns out - : 4s t boy , " associating with broken-down pugilists, and the lowest frequenters of the worst description of public-houses. He is proud of his dissipation, proud of his wealth, proud of the quantity of drink he can consume, and of being at the head of even the degraded class with which he is associating. He is one of the rising generation. so graphically illustrated by our facetious friend Punch. We must, however, give his description from the author's pen:— "He was a mere boy—fourteen or fifteen years of age, hut ' dressed in as manly a style as could be contrived ; his slim proportions being swelled out by a variety of shawls, coats, and handkerchies, which in spite of the season, he kept on. His hair was of a warm tint that his enemies might have designated as red ; but the slightest quan tity of down upon his upper lip had been coloured, by some kind of dye or cosmetique, several shades darker. He evidently did not belong to the class with whom he was keeping company; for his features were fine end regular; his hands small and white; and his clothes, al though cut in a slangy gentish fashion, were of good mate rials and work. The hat, too. on the table before him, was a beaver ore; and in it were a pair of white kid gloves, end short stick with a large cut jewel set in its handle. Yet with all this he was smoking a claw pipe; and a pewter pot stood before him. The people in the room treated him with the utmost respect; and he was evidently delighted at being the head of the assembly." The description of the " Cock awl Badger," kept by Nick Mawley, or as he was formerly kn 'wn in the P.R . " The Pluckily Crusher," is rich indeed. The approaches are depicted in a manner worthy " Boz" himself. The exertions of the different dealers to puff off their various wares to establish their respective claims on the public patronage, ~ that one would conceive, next to atmosphe ric air, the strong rough Congou at two-and-four, so strongly recommended to families. was the great vital principle." " Thegigantic coffeepots," "the mammoth tea kettles," and " dustshovels of Brobdignagian proportions * are exquisitely given. Old Hickory interposes in his own warm-hearted manner, between the young Baronet and Patsy, whom he has attempted to kiss, to the great astonishment of that fine young English gentleman. Mrs. Hamper is rescued from the robbers, who are all taken prisoners, and fixes herself on her young nephew Ellis, who was travelling, and came out to witness the attack on the brigands. In vain he assures her that he in tends to ascend " Mont Blanc." She is ready to ac company him, and to assume a man's dress ; telling him that " when Mr. Hamper was in the Yeomanry Cavalry, she had once put on his clothes, and that they said she made a very good man ;" and that if the carbineer (behind whom she was riding) would lend her his dress that evening, when he retired to rest, he (Ellis) would be astonished. We have sweet Bessy Payne on the eve of being brought into a scrape by Fanny Hamper, who is senior pupil at " Mrs. Sadler's establishment for young ladies at•Ham mersmith." The different teachers are all admirably described, from Mrs. Sadler herself, a lady of an imposing presence, and Madlle. Le Brun, the resident Parisian— " there was a suspicion that she had once been Miss Brown"—to the dancing-master, Mr. Pitkin, " with his pony chaise, and the seat fastened on behind in a fright. fully insecure manner, but that was a very artful contri vance, as it was, in fact, the safety governor of the entire machine, inasmuch as too heavy a weight would have overbalanced the whole affair; but if this was by any chance .applied, the seat broke off before the accident occurred, and equilibrium was restored." Fanny Harper wants to go to a ball at Richmond with young Sir Frederick, and she persuades Bessy to promise to accompany her. Patsy and Hickory are in introduced to a sort of barrack, " the inmates of which are composed of those remarkable people who pass the greater portion of their lives behind the chintz curtain at the end of a caravan." Patsy is to take lessons from Monsieur Fandango, to qualify herself to appear at the theatres. The Gudges' are heartily sick of everything foreign, and more particularly discontented with Venice. "' I call all this a failure, said Mr. Gudge; 'a regular sell, as we say at home. And the heat's enough to choke one. Phengli! I'd give anything for a bottle of ginger-beer.' "' Well; I suppose you can have it, G.' replied his help mate, ' here's cafes enough all round.' And she pronounced 'cafe' to rhyme with safe—' Go and ask.' " ' Oh, yes; it's all very well to say go and ask,' answered Gudge. IGo and ask yourself, and see how you'd like it, to have a lot of grinning Turks and other fools, sniggering at you because they won't understand what you mean. Look there! there's an object.' " He pointed to the entrance of one of the numerous cafés under the piazza, at which one of the latest turbaned and bearded importations by the steamer from Trieste, was gravely smoking a pipe, worth walking over a new flint road in thin boots to look at, as he read a newspaper, in spectacles, and now and then shook out somefleur d'orange from a little bottle into a goblet of water. " ' Now, that oughn't to be permitted, you know. It wouldn't anywhere else. That's a Turk, you know—a heathen—a man who lives in a state of infamous domestic life, and ought only to be allowed to sell rhubarb; and not even that, when there's a respectable chemist and druggist in the neighbourhood. Come along; I wonder what we shall see next?' " ' There's a cool place to sit down ins in the court of the palace,' said Mrs Gudge; 'suppose we go there for a little while. .It is perfectly baking here.' "Mr. Gudge was quite resigned. If he had known where else to go, he would, as in duty-bound, have opposed it. But as he did not. he walked into the court of the palace and sat down by a well. " 'To think of people coming to see that flight of steps; he said • ' coming all the way from England to see it. and call ing it the Giant Staircase. What for, 1 should like to know? And that dirty twopenny post-looking hole in the wall—the Lion's Mouth. Why they must be all idiots.' .4 , Perhaps there's something about them we don't know of G.' said Mrs. Gudge. 6 ' 6 Pshaw ! what can there be to know in an old tumble down flight of steps, and a slit in a stone? What can there be to know in anything—what is anything—if yon come to that ? Just nothing.' " The remark was so perfectlyconclusive and unanswerable, that Mr. Gudge had it all to himself. " ' They are a nasty sly, savage set,' he continued. after a short pause. 6 Look at the Arsenal we went to—the Arsenal ! pooh I I should like them to see Woolwich. And see what a race of brutes they always were! Why, they used to put men's heads in helmets too large for them, and shut a rat up inside to gnaw them when it got hungry. And now they put you in beds too small, and fill the room with mus quiters!' " ' Ah, drat the musketeers!' said Mrs. Gudge. " ' Oh! it's to make you ill, and stay,' continued Gudge. It's one of their best dodges—the Dodge of Venice you've read about.' " And after perpetrating this grim joke, Mr. Gudge gave a dry short laugh, that rattled in his throat like a last year's walnut. " ' The Bridge of Sighs, too,' he went on, ' which everybody said we must see. Why, there's one in Leadenhall Market that would cut up into a half- a-dozen. It's all nonsense, you know! And then to hear them yesterday at dinner: I got quite mad. They talked of the railway, and said it would destroy the romance of Venice. The romance of fiddle-de dee! What romance is there in having no fresh water, and living in houses built upon piles! There'd hundreds of places at home where you could do the same thing. if you wanted romance. Look at the Penitentiary, or the Essex Marshes. Pooh ! stuff 1' "And Mr. Gudge again worked himself up to such a pitch of indignation, that what with the heat of the weather, and his own imagination, it is wonderful he didn't set his brains boiling, and go mad at once." Christopher is determined to go to London to penetrate the mystery that shrouded his early days, notwithstand ing tne strong opposition of Gudge, who finding he cannot be dissuaded from going, as the next best thing, decides on taking him in his own company. They set out for home, Christopher keeping his distance from the attorney. At the foot of the St. Bernard they are seized on by the indefatigable Mrs. Hamper. who again fixes herself upon them, to their great consternation. Of course tbe.‘ engagement between George Osborne and Sedley is broken off by desire of old Osborne, but Dobbin buys A tnclia's piano at the sale, and sends it to her in George .osborne's name, and then - in an in terview with Georgre, persuarles . him to seek an inter view with the brokeo-.hearted Amelia. Four hours after the talk between Dobbin and Osborne this 6ervant.runi 4 came into Amelia's room. where she sate as usual, brooding silently over her letters—her little treasure. The girt, smiling, and look ing arch and happy, made many trials to attract poor E m my's attention, who, however, took no heed of her. " • Miss Emmy said the girl. " I'm coming,' Emmy said, not looking round. 'There's a message,' the maid went on. There's shing—sompbody—sure, here's a new letter fo r ion—don't he reading them old ones any more.' Al...nd she gave her a letter, which Emmy took, and read. " I must see you,' the letter said. ' Dearest Emmy— dearest love—dearest wife, come to me.' George and her mother were outside, waiting until she had read the letter." And thus ends this the most interesting train her of Vanity Fair. SHARPE'S MODERN MAPS, .Nos. I. and IL Another Atlas, published periodically, is here intro duced to our notice, and enhance in no inconsic terable degree the general competition in that department of art. The advantage which is most perceptible in Sh arpe's correponding maps, is that of its dimensions and elabo ration : in that respect they surpass most of their predecessors.

EXTENSIVE FIRE.—On Friday morning, between two and three, a fire was discovered in the shop of Mr. Cloak, an oilman, Great St. Andrew's-street, Seven-dials. An alarm was raised, and a vast assemblage of persons, even at that early hour, was present, and in a few seconds the fire— men and engines from Crown-street and Chandos-street were, in attendance. The firemen, with great difficulty, obtained the mastery, and the fire was extinguished, but not until considerable damage had been the consequence. The cause was unknown. CONTINENTAL COMMUNICATION.

A great many of the members are deter mined opponents of the ballot as a general measure, but great supporters of it in the club; which tends to smything but its benefit, as one black ball out of ten is fatal to the candidate. There are a great many noblemen and gentlemen proposed for this meeting. GAME.—Tom Hall, the boxer, better known as Isle of Wight Hall, is in prison at Newport for stealing a game cock. He wag always considered a game fellow. FESTIVAL OF THE SONS OF THE CLERGY.—The anniversary festival of the above institution was celebrated on Thur,day by the customary choral service in St. Paul's CAbedral._ which was attended by a very numerous congre gation.

DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT , --.The rumours con tinue to vary as to the exact time when Parliament will be dissolved. Some accounts say, as early as the middle of _ June, and others prolong the existence of the present House to the end of July, in which case some of the ra il way Bill may be passed. There is also considerable ditßer ence of opinion on the point, whether Parliament will 're assemble in the autumn. This may depend upon the re suit of the harvest, and the state of the monetary affairs of the country, both of which are exciting a strong interest in the political circles in London at the present moment.—L reds Mercury. LONDON SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIA.NrrY AMONGST THE JEWS.—On Friday the 39th annual meeting of the above society was held at the great room in Exeter-hs 11. The meeting was very numerously attended. Lord Ashl . ey in the chair. The report of progress both at home and abre ad was of a satisfactory character. The schools and Hebrew college, Palestine-place, B-thnal-green, have made great progress. Abroad they have missionary stations at Jerusa lem, Safet, Aleppo,Beyrout, Bagdad. Smyrna, Constantinople, Morocco, &c., and four new stations have, during the past year, been opened at Cairo, Ispahan, Sawalki, and at Dul din ; the whole foreign and home amount to 33 stations, at all of which schools have been opened with great success.

INFANTICIDE NEAR CARMARTHEN.—The Coroner's investigation respecting the deaths of the three children supposed to have been murdered by their mother was opened on the 3d inst., at the house where they were found hanging—an inn called the Carriers' Arms, situate by the road side, on the Llanybyther mountain, in Carmarthenshire, Mr. Daniel Price, the county coroner, presiding. The names of the deceased children were Mary, Evan, and Sarah Hughes, and were aged respectively five years. three years, and twelve months.

She was un known, but people strongly suspected that her mind was un settled. Yesterday, however, two persons travelling on the mountain near the parish of Cayo, finding her to correspond in appearance with the description given of the mother of the children, gave her in custody to the constable of the pa rish, who brought her down to Ilanbyther, where she now is. She confessed having killed the Children, and no doubt is entertained of her being quite insane. OXFORD, MAY 7.—Mr. John Buttanshaw, from Tunbridge Grammar-school, was this day elected to the Kent Scholarship at Corpus Christi College. The Rev.

PAYMENT OF ASSESSED TAXES. Mr. DANIELL wished to know from the Hon. Baronet, the Member for the borough, whether there was any in tention of procuring an amended end correct return of the number of persons disfranchised in Marylebone? Sir B. HALL said the returns required was a state ment of the number of 101. houses in every city and borough in England and Wales, and another return showing the number of persons occupying such houses who had been disqualified from being placed upon the register of voters in consequence of non-payment of assessed taxes. These returns had been made, and ap peared in two columns in the paper which had been pre sented to Parliament. What ho supposed was most required was a return of the number of voters actually on the register in each city and borough. This he be lieved he could obtain without any fresh motion, but perhaps the better course would be, as en election was likely to take place soon, to wait until the next ses sion, and he (Sir B. Hall) would then obtain, first, the number of 10/. houses ; next, the number on the re gister ; next, the number who had voted ; and, lastly, the number of persons who had been disqualified from being placed on the register from various causes. Mr. DANIELL thought the suggestion of the Hon. Ba ronet a good one, and the subject dropped. PUBLIC BATHS AND W ASHHOUSES FOR THE LABOURING CLASSES.—VALUE OF LAND .IN MARYLEBONE. Mr. Flood, the vestry clerk, then brought up the • re port of the Commissioners of Baths and Washhouscs. Mr. H. C. WILSON, pursuant to notice, moved a reso lution adopting the report and empowering the Commis sioners to take immediate steps for the purchase of the site on the terms proposed. Mr. HARBERT having seconded the motion, a long and stormy discussion ensued, it being contended by the opponents of the resolution that the sum demanded was at the rate of B,OOOL per acre, which was most exorbitant, and Mr. ARMSON moved, as an amendment, that the mat ter be adjourned for further consideration. Mr. G. DANIELL defended the Commissioners, who he said had had as much as 15,0001. per acre demanded of them for a site. He thought the vestry ought not to grumble at paying at the rate of 8,0001. per acre for ground in so eligit)le a position. On the motion being put it was carried by a large majority. The vestry then separated. PROSPECTS OF A. DISSOLUTION It is understood that the recent divisions in the House of Lords against the Ministerial Bill for the as-Amiktion of the Irish poor-laws to the English poor laws will have the effect of precipitating the dissolution, and that should Lord Stanley succeed on Monday in carrying his amend ment, which attacks at once the very principle of the Bill, the Ministers wilt decide noon a dissolution at the earliest moment after they have obtained the sanction of the Par liament to the usual votes. There is, hcwever, more than one report, to the effect that Government mean to make another fight for their Bill. It is expected that Lord Stanley will he beaten on his amendment, as the proxies will be available Oil the division, and the Duke of Welling ton is supposed to hold sufficient to give a majorityto either side. Sh.uld the Government succeed against Lord Stan ley an effort will be immediately made to restore the two clauses rejected in Committee to the Bill when the report is brought up. From' the declaration of Lord John Russell on Friday night, that Government were more firmly persuaded than ever of the necessity for their bill, it is clear that the House of Commons can never consent to adopt the measure in the mutilated form in which it would reach the lower house from the House of Lords, that is, presuming the Ministerial tactics failed on all points. At the political clubs, preparations are already making for a new election. Calculations have been made as to -the probable number of seats idtely to be supplied with new members. We have heard the number variously stated. The lowest estimate places the num ber of the present members who will not be returned to Parliament next session at 180, the highest at 250. We think that truth may lie between, and that 200, or thereabouts, may be considered as the number ,of new members who will be required far the new Parliament. It may here be men tioned that some doubts are felt in the monetary circles of the fitness of the present Chancellor of the Exche quer to meet the existing national emergency. His propositions for an advance in the rate of interest on Exchequer Bills, and a discount on prepayment of the next instalment of the late loan, are felt to be perfectly insignificant towards averting the anticipated commer cial crisis, and therefore it is that undisguised murmurs are now heard throughout that sensitive region known as the money market.—Sunday Times. We have the best reason for believing that an almost immediate dissolution of the present Parliament was determined on at the Cabinet Council held yes erday afternoon (Friday) ; the ground being the defeat of Government. in the House of Lords, on the Irish Poor law, on Thursday night. This, of course, will most materially affect the railway campaigns of the year, Railway Record. ROYAL ITALIAI\ OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN. Denizetti's ope ra o f Maria di Bohan was produced at this theatre on Saturday night for the first time in this country. The plot is taken from Un Dud sous Richelieu, a vaudeville, which had a considerable run at Paris some years ago. The scene is laid in Paris during the reign of Louis XIII. The Count de Chalais (Signor Salvi). the favourite of the king, is deeply attached to Maria, Countess di Rohan (Signora Ronconi), who, how ever, is secretly married to the Due de Chevreuse (Signor Ronconi). Maria sends a billet to Chalais, requesting an interview. she wishes to engage his int erest on behalf M h e r husband, who has killed the nephew of the Cardinal in a duel, for which his life i s f orfeited. Chalais, h owe ver, obtains for him the roy a l pardon. Gondi (Madlle. Alboni), a Court gallant, impeach es the character of Mar ia, and is at once contradicted in the strongest terms by Chalais. The 'emit is an appointment for a duel on the following day. Chevreuse volunteers to become an additi onal second, two on each side bein cus t o mary in deadly quarrels. Th e i nte lli gence is t h en g r vceived that Richelieu is deposed, on which Chevreuse announces his marriage, which he had been obliged to keep se cret. as the Citrdinalt had slpsigned M ar i a to be the wife of his nephew, who had ?alien by the hands of Chevreuse. Chnlais, who is in despair at the prostration of his hopes of obtaining Maria, is appointed Prime Minister, and receives the congratulations of the assembled courtiers on his as sumption of office. This terminates the first act. The second act opens in the palace of Chalais ; he is writing a farewell letter to Maria, to be delivered, in the event of his death in the coating duel. He sings an aria, "Alma soave e care," in which he was encored. Gondi enters and demands a delay of an hour. which his opponent concedes. Au exceedingly effective aria, by Alhoni, "Son leggero nell' Amore," again com manded an encore. Maria now enters in guise. She has learned from the Queen that Riche lieu had been reinstated in favour, and that Chalais, his rival, will in the morning be condemned to chains and death, and she hastens to save the life of the ' , man who had preserved her husband. The voice of Chevreuse is heard approaching, to summon Chalais to the field. Maria is hastily concealed from his presence, and on his departure again implores the Cutout to fly the fate that awaits him. _ lie however hesitates. urging that the contest is necessary for the vindication of his honour, and is decided by the call of his other second, De Suze, who announces that the hour is passed, and that Chevreuse has proposed to fight in -his place: He 'rushes wildly to the field, followed 'by the wretched Maria. _The third act passes at the mansion of Chevreuse. He has been wounded by GOndi in the duel. He joins Maria in im ploring Chalais to fly, but the latter, who tears he will thereby lose both his love and honour, hesitates. He, however, is informed by his secretary that his papers, in cluding the letter to Maria, have been seized, and that a body of archers are on their way to seize him. He is hurried off by Chevreuse to a secret passage which leads to the outside of the city walls. The letter which he had written to Maria, in anticipation of the duel, is placed in the hands of Chevreuse after his escape. lover, and, solos and were z Ch evr euse is indignant at disco ver i ng that he had been a n d e m e i a n b e l e y i v e g s i; en by to his a o s w s n ist d in is g ho h n i o s ur wife ' T s w Ronconi in this scene, each of which were loudly applauded and encored. " Bella edi sol vestita," and " Ogni mio bene into sperai. ,, He overwhelms the hapless Maria with reproaches, and infers from her consternation and ear that Chalais intends to re turn. At this moment the secret door flies open and Chalais reappears, and is received b Chevreuse with a fierce joy, who challeng es y him to mortal combat. 'rhe knocks of the Royal Guard heard at the door, but Chevreuse seizing - • are one pistol and handing another to his opponent, rushes out at a side door, Maria falls senseless, the door is beaten down, the archers app ear, at this moment the report of pistols are heard, and Chevreuse entering announces the death of Chalais, and that lite with shame and infamy is to be the lot of Maria. She sinks to the earth, while Chevreuse is arrested by the Archer guards, and the curtain falls. We cannot say much for this opera. It is by no means a favourable specimen of Donizetti's style. It is altogethee a weak and incoherent composition. The overture was noisy, and gave no clue to the succeeding music. The gem of the opera is decidedly the Rotnanza for the contralto, "Per non ist: r all' ozi()," which was exqui sitely rendered by Alhoni, and its repetition unanimously called for. Madame Ronconi is by no means likely to prove an af•quisition. Her style is uncultivated. and her voice by no means a powerful one. While Signora Grisi and Persiani are on the strength of the es tablishment, it is indeed surprising that a part of such importance should have been entrusted to her. RODCOni was very efficient, more particularly in the latter scenes, which gave scope for much powerful emotion. Salvi gave portions of h a part with much taste and feeling, while Alboni was in every respect ad mirable. The house was very well filled.
