It is true, that the act of 1845 is virtually suspended, and that for all practical purposes it remains "a dead letter," and will he, so bug as the Brazilian Government fully and fairly dis charges the duties it assumed under the Treaty of 182 6. But it still remains an effectual instrument ready for use on any emergency, and available at a ny Moment when the Government of Dom PEDRO may endeavour to evade the performance of its Solemn obligations. It was only by a reference to that act, and by the determination of Great Britain to bring its provisions into action, that the Brazilian Legislature was induced to co-operate With the Brazilian Government, by passing laws that promised to be effectual. Why then should W e unnecessarily get rid of that convincing per luader ? Why hold out the slightest induce ment to slave dealers to try experiments as to Whether the trade can again be made so profitable t hat the unholy gains would allow of a sufficient assurance against the risk? It is also true that we have not proceeded as ze alously — as we might have done, either against Cuba or the United States, and that the suff ,r -lags of the miserable victims may in some instances he aggravated by our well-meant but inadequate 4:r °rts for its total suppression. Bu t are we on hat account to relax or surrender a single security already obtained ? Far from it. We should still record our earnest and indig nant pro tegt, even if we could do no more, against the I,_ a grant iniquity—should show tha t e ver y Eng lish hand and English heart will continue the st ruggle to the very last—that there shall not be , 37 compromise as to our powers, or mistake as 1 " 0 our intentions. intolerable, interminable, unconscionable Abo- minations ! Sir GEORGE GREY had a taste of this Mini sterial Delight yesterday—and evidently a taste rather larger than he had anticipated. We can almost fancy the expression of the Right Hon. Baronet's face as they streamed in, one after another, in appalling procession. For we real in the report of the proceedings " The Right Hon. Gentleman was evidently unprepared for so large and influential an assemblage." And no wonder, for we find enumerated first, to begin with :—"The deputation was introduced by Mr. B. DENISON, M.P., and Lord GODERICH, M.P., and was accompanied by the following—H. W. WICKHAM, Esq., M.P., General THOMPSON, M. P., EDWARD A KROYD, Esq., M.P., H. PEASE, Esq., M.P., S. GURNEY, Esq., M.P., T. B. HORSPALL, Esq., M.P., J. CHEETHAM, Esq., M.P., B. WOODD, Esq., M.P., and G. HARDY, Esq., M.P." Taking breath for a little, we go on :—" The deputation included the following gentlemen—From Leeds," So-and-so, and So-and-so ! from Bradford, such 6thers ; as also from Liverpool, from Halifax, from we don't know whereal ! They had previously been—the mem bers of this monster, or rather, let us say, this monstrous deputation—to the private dwelling house of Lord PALMERSTON, in Piccadilly. And, having given hint a benefit, proceeded with un • wearied determination to visit, as we have said, Sir GEORGE GREY-down at the Home-office. We cannot wonder, in the least, when we find the re porter observing, as already remarked, that when the Home Secretary met the Deputation, ho ap peared to be " evidently unprepared to meet so large an assemblage." His feelings must have been soma thing like those of the Brickmaker in Bleak House when—invaded in his cottage by an incursion of the Pardiggles—leaning upon his elbow he growled out " Any more ou you ?" Adding —" because, I thought there warnt enough of you p'raps !" Indignantly entering his pro test immediately afterwards against " being drawed like a badger !" Lord PALIrERSTON truly remarked, " the r ye trade is not altogether extinguished in the hearts of these Brazilians." There are many still hyin g who have been actively engaged therein, an d Who have realised large fortunes therefrom, I tho only yearn for an eligible opportunity to e ngage again in their favourite pursuits. These 1441 might have influence sufficient indirectly to c hange the sentiments, or, at all events, to paralyse t he action of the Executive. By retaining the act of 1845, and permitting it to remain in abey kee, we strengthen their hands, if well disposed, ka have an adequate guarantee against any ter rersation or even lukewarmness on their part. is a point on which we cannot afford to surren dertt a single inch of ground. And, there ;re) we hail with unmitigated satis acti°ll the very decisive demonstration : li ttle by th e G ove rnment and the Legislature in e J e ctiog the appeal by a majority so overwhelming 414 SO conclusive. The act itself may have, nay mor e has, no practical effect, but its repeal at the pres ent moment, or even an inquiry that might ind uce parties to suppose that it would be repealed, w il T ° 111(1 be productive of very injurious results. Let tar. ROEBUCK ask for a committee to inquire ° lt the slave trade may be more efficiently re pressed, and we venture to say it will be received a Very different manner—that there will not be majority of 18 to 1 against his motion. With or without his leave, Sir GEORGE GREY was decidedly subjected to this agree able operation yesterday, by the modest deputation above (partially) enumerated ! A.nd all about what About Mr. HARDY'S Bill for the amendment of the law relating to the sale of beer, et cetera ! Mark that &c.,—for it includes a variety of other localities besides beer shops coffee-houses, concert-rooms, dancing rooms, what are called casinos, and all sorts of queer out-of-the-way places of low festivity and mean amusement. All these scenes being fre quented not by the people Mr. THACKERAY de lights to call swells, but by numbers of the poorer and humbler classes. The good sense of Sir G. GREY appears throughout the whole of the tiresome gabble of the deputation never once to have left him. The Right Honour able Baronet, throughout, seemed to recog nise as clearly as a perfectly sane and vigilantly observant man could hardly fail to recognise it— the fact that the purport of the whole project kept in view by the deputation was to interfere unnecessarily with the social habits of the humbler and poorer classes of society, with their comforts and their amusements. Sir GEORGE GREY, we do believe, is as earnestly solicitous (to say the very least of him in this particular) as any one gentleman in the whole of that enormous Deputation—to repress vice, to diminish crime, to crush out the seeds of depravity, to extinguish every spark of villainous incentive to evil, anywhere kindling into a flame, in the dens of infamy, the foul byways and the back slums of our great city—and tending to spread a demoralising influence through large masses of our population. But—Sir GEORGE GREY never seemed to tire of saying, again and again, to the Deputation that the Magistrates are. scarcely aware of their powers in. these cases, and that the law is not sufficiently enforced. That is just precisely it. Try the law as it is, before you venture to botch and cobble it with wholesale amendments ! Particularly if the amendments you contemplate, involve an interference, here, there, and everywhere, with the social condition of the humbler classes, with their comforts and amusements. Every pot of ale sold over the counter of a beer-shop does not necessarily lead to drunkenness. It would be perfectly monstrous to argue that every coffee-house was a brothel, and every com mon-looking public room where a song is sung, or a dance danced, must invariably be the haunt of thieves and prostitutes. The Deputation yesterday proved too much, and thereby defeated its own purpose. Diminish im morality, if you will, or rather if you can, in Heaven's name—but Don't, in the name of hu manity and in the name of justice, Don't, for the furtherance of some particular whimsies and crotchets of your own, sweep down what may be' to the poorer classes of the community sources of everyday comfort, and of rational and innocent amusement.

If what the sc ruples" Reverend Prellte termed " conscientious c ruples" were allowed to prevail in one case, in ° PPosition to the law of the land, they should be tespected in all others. Let the Bishop declare that no persons who conscientiously objected to ky church rates or tithes, should be bound by t he strict letter of the law, and we shall gladly a gree to his proposition. But others have "souls 1 to be saved" as well as clergymen of the Estab lishment, and the same principle should be anted on in every case. In fact, the office °f the officiating Priest is purely ministerial, 4114 if he obeys the law he has no right to in-quire . further, or to seize on an opportunity of a _ ail lting others, un d er the colour of private Z ro ples not recognised by the Church of which e is a minister. On a division the " soapy" too i B o was rejected by a majority of 3 to 1, the cu mbers being—contents 26, non-contents 78. Where is at least reason to hope that the de grading action for crint. con. will be altogether te v ` ilis lied, and that the act of adultery will be 11(le red a criminal offence. After co ns iderable disc ussion, it was, on the suggestion of Lord f 1411 ; decided that it should not b e com p etent any person to bring an action for dam a g es for t°ll at offence, but that whoever commi t t ed adul te t ? with a ma rried woman should be guilty of a ta iscl eoleanonr, which would, of course, subj e c t the Offender to imprisonment or fine, or both, ac ding to the discretion of the presiding judge. e Congratulate the country on the prospect ha ving the degrading and demoralising pro- Z edi ng altogether abolished.

The l ojured husband seemed to be receiving " the ages of sin ;" to be actuated, not by a sense of honour, but of cupidity. And cases might arise, The Earl and Countess of Malmesbury entertained at dinner, on Thursday evening, his Excellency the Austrian Minister and the Countess d'Apponyi, the Duke of Rutland, the Marquis and Marchiones of Ely, the Marquis and Marchioness of Bath, the Countess of Jersey and Lady Clementina Villiers, the Earl of Cardigan, the Earl of Carnarvon, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Duncombe, and Mr. and Lady Augusta Sturt. The Countess (Dowager) of Harewood and Lady Blanche Lascelles, a ccompanied by Lady William Thynne, are on the eve of going on a continental tour. Lord and Lady John Russell have arrived at Far rance's Hotel, in Belgravia, where they purpose stay ing during the present season. TILE TURKISH EMBASSY.--Nladanie Musurus, wife of his Excellency the Turkish Ambassador, has issued cards for an assembly, at the residence of the em bassy, on Tuesday, the 9th of June. The Countess Poulett and Viscount Hinton are shortly expected in London, on their return from a tour on the coast of Spain. The noble Viscount has entirely reco ♦ered from the effects of the severe accident he met with while hunting with the Duke of Beaufort's hounds last autumn. 4 .Ye more, and have arisen, in which it has been kore than suspected that he connived at his own shame for the sake of ultimate gain. The neces sity for obtaining a verdict and substantial damages, before a dissolution of the marriage, being removed, the only excuse for the proceeding is taken away. " Cessat ratio, cessat lex" is a sound Principle the reason has ceased, the law should 11 0 longer be tolerated. We earnestly hope, then, t hat Lord DERBY'S judicious suggestion may be acted on, and that henceforward and for ever the ° l : l eft° may be regarded as one to be dealt with 3t criminal, not civil proceedings. The Bill has 310.9 ? passed through committee, and been reported, and we tru s t that it may speedily be brought into t he Lower House, and receive the Legislative 4n etion even before the termination of the pre- Seat Session. DEATH OF LADY MARY SINGLETON.—We have to re cord the demise, after a protracted illness, of Lady Mary Singleton, who died at her residence iu Curzon-street, Mayfair, on Tuesday.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT, May 28 .—The American steam frigate Su,quehanna, Captain J. A. R. Sands, arrived here to-day, and fired a salute of 21 guns, which was returned by the Eurydice. Some weeks back attention was called to a disclosure in the Sydney newspapers of a method by w hi ch the London underwrite rs were liable to be defra u d e d. I t appeared from a let ter inserted in the Sydney Herald that instances had occurred where the consignees of cer tain descriptions of unmarketable goods contrived to ger them certia-d as damaged by sea water, so as to enabl e the shippers to came upon the underwriters for the dif ference between their nominal and realised value. Sub sequent advices mention that an action having been brought against the author of the letter by an importing firm who considered themselves aggrieved, a verdict was returned for the defendant. The eviden ce at the trial plainly showed that the certificates in question were ob tained and acted upon in the most lax manner, and the Sydney Herald, upon a review of the case, naturally expresses surprise at the indifference shown by the un derwriters in not establishing some effectual system for their own protection. It such things are tolerated the losses must he heavy, and these cannot be met excep , by an indiscriminate increase in the sale of pretnium• and a consequent injury to the legitimate trader. he prinei arable and Sheffield , that the the hoc' lbdicatedo ,tes"--w 8 ion for ' ;ions with sive nlaj°- xour and satisfied Est men in stimulate lesh and ;ed th at aye had be re- le part of had bore- relasing cted coal- that is 6 ~~. .

CITY, Two o'CLooK. Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday manifested a quiet but steady appearance, and prices were without alteration. The sales were estimated at 5,000 bales, 500 of which were taken by the speculato - s, and 500 by the exporters. The Railway Share Market closed dull, and previous rates were well maintained. A quieter tone has pervaded the Foreign and Colonial Produce MarlZets this week, and the actual business transacte I in Mincing-lane has been smaller than for some time past. The Epsom Races may have tended to diminish operations, but there is evidently less speculation, and some of the quotations lately so buoyant are now heavy. Sugar, for instance, has been in limited request, and very few public sales have been held, but a decline of 6d. to ls. per cwt. has, nevertheless, taken place. A moderate busi ness, by private contract, has, however, been con eluded, the wants of the retailers being rather ex tensive. Coffee has been inquired fur, at last week's quotations, but the purchases have been made. Cocoa is very firm. Rice quiet, at late rates, and the dealers in tea have been awaiting the receipt of the advices by the Overland Mail. For spices there has been a quiet demand, and no material alteration in prices has taken place. Pimento, however, is d. to id. lower. Saltpetre has remained steady, and also rum. Tallow is firmer, but the purchases are contracted. An unfavourable fe, ling has been occasioned by the advance of 5 per cent. in the Shanghai Ex change, as it will necessarily stimulate the export of silver, and add to the perplexities of the Money Market. The benefits expected from-the snpplies of gold en route will now be partially neutralised, as a portion must be absorbed and per haps sent to the Continent for completing purchases of silver. Until a decline in the quota• tions at Hong Kong and Shanghai take place, there can be no doubt that this drain will be conducted on a very extensive scale, and the market will con sequently be disturbed, from time to time by move mentsin gold. If the Australian remittances do not speedily arrive, it islikelythatsmall quantities will be withdrawn from the Bank, although yesterday a large quantity, viz., 100,0001. was sent into that establishment. Since the receipt of the telegraphic message in anticipation of the Overland Mail, the silver mar ket has become firmer, and bars are now quoted ss. IZd. to ss. lid. per ounce standard. The overland mail has arrived at Marseilles, and is expected here on Monday. There is an active demand for money in Lom bard-street and at the Bank of England, but it is presumed to emanate as much from the bullion operators as from the commercial community. A slight decline has taken place in the English Stock Market to-day, owing to the specie drain and the prospects of its continuance. The depres sion on the Paris Bourse, and the increas ing demand for money also prevent buoyancy. Another cause of the weakness now appa rent is the cessation of Exchequer Bill in vestments by the Bank broker, who, it is pre sumed, has now purchased almost all the Savings Bank Commissioners require. Consols for trans fer have been 93* 1, and 93a, while for account they have been 93i to 94, and 931 / s . The New 3 per Cents. are 92g- and the Reduced 92/ I. The March Exchequer Bills are 4s. to 7s. premium, and the "advertised" ditto, 2s. to 4s. premium. The Bonds are 981 to 99. Bank Stock is 2121 to 214. Foreign securities are very dull. Turkish 6 per Cents. are marked 95, but the present quotation is 941 to 4 ; Dutch 4 per Cents. are 97 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 107 to 4 ; ditto, 41 per Cents., 97 ; and Peruvian 41 per Cents., 76/ ; Buenos Ayres, are 86i.

In the evening, after being present at a grand dinner at the Tuile ries, to which the Princes and Princess of the Im perial family had been invited, the King went to the Grand Opera, where the " Trouvere" was performed.

The Gazette Redowa, or official gazette of the kingdom of Poland, publishes the test of the Im perial ukase spoken of for some time past, contain ing certain provisions in favour of Polish political offenders and refugees. Article 1 restores to such of them as had returned to Poland before the coro nation of the present Emperorthe rights of nobility or citizenship they possessed before their judicial con demnation, but their confiscated property is not restored. Art. 2 extends the same provisions to those who have been incorpoaated in the army. Art. 3 extends them to those who had obtained permission to return to their country before the promulgation of the ukase of 1856. And 4 admits those whose conduct has been exemplary to the right of filling administrative situations. The re maining three articles relate to details. None of these provisions seems to apply to the case of Polish exiles who have not previously solicited per mission to return. DENMARK. The following is the test of the last note of the Danish cabinet, in reply to the communications of Prusia and Austria:— "Now that the ministry is reconstructed, I has ten, in conformity with the orders of the King, to inform you, in order that you may communicate it to Baron de Manteuffel (or Count de Buol), that it is his Majesty's intention to convoke without delay, after the termination of the preliminary la bours, the Provincial States of Holstein in extra ordinary session, in order to submit to their con stitutional examination the revi-ecl project of the constitution for the special affairs of the duchy of Holstein. In remarking that the meeting of the said extraordinary assembly will take place in the month of August at the latest, I tike the liberty of observing that the projct will comprise enactments destined to decide the special affairs of the duchy of Holstein,. and that in consequence the assembly of the Provincial States will have occasion to pronounce freely and without embar rassment on the limits of the power of the States ; whereas the enactments relative thereto in the previous project were not subjected to the ex amination of the Stites, but only notified to them. The King's Government entertains the confident hope that the courts of Berlin and Vienna will see in the present communication a manifest proof of its strong desire to comply with the wishes expressed by them ; it hopes with no less assurance that the States of the duchy of Holstein will respond to this measure in a manner which will enable an under standing, which is so desirable, to be arrived at.— Accept, &c., " 0. W. MICHELSEN." ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Mademoiselle Victoire Balfe made her debu last night at the Lyceum in the Sonnamula, and a more triumphant first appearance, or one that promises a more brilliant career, has rarely been witnes ed. •It excited very great interest in our musical circles, not only from the name the young lady bears, but from what had been heard respect ing her qualities and talents ; and the theatre was consequently filled to overflowing, every place in every part of the house having been taken days ago. The youthful debutante had a most cordial reception, which she acknowledged gracefully, but very timidly. Her agitation, indeed, was extreme : it was easy to understand her feelings, and impos sible not to sympathise with them. A young girl of twenty, who not only had never faced the public gaze, but had never even been heard beyond the circle of her family and intimate iends—who must have felt that her most terrible trial was begun, and that the next few minutes would determine the fate of her whole future life, and fill her parents with happiness, or blight their fondest hopes—must have been in a state of mind sufficient, one would think, to paralyse all her faculties. But she supported herself bravely. Nothing could be more win ning than her whole aspect. Her beauty is remark able ; and in her pretty attire, with her innocent looks and simplicity of manner, she was the very ideal of the rustic heroine. When the first act closed she was twice called before the curtain. In the second act she was still more successful, when her powers of strong and passionate expression were shown ; and at the end of that act she was again twice called for, even more vehemently than before. But it was in the last act that her great triumph was achieved. Amina's meek and gentle endur ance of her lover's cruel taunts and reproaches was beautifully rendered ; and the sleep-walking scene, when she descends from the mill, never was made mor deeply . pathetic even by Jenny Lind her self. The final air, "Ah non g i unge ," was a bl a ze of brilliant execution, expressing, more eloquently than any worts could do, the fullness of joy and rapture. When the opera was concluded, the audience gave vent to their feeling s o f a d m i ra ti on and delight. The curtain fell amid deafening ap plause. The young performer bad to come forward threec I n compliance with reiterat e d ca ll s , an d , times,was received with acclamati ons , wav i ng of a hhat m s i n e a handkerchiefs, and showers of b ouque t s. eta Her voice is a perfect organ—a true t °pram), full, to the heart of th e round, sweet, and powerful, with that indescribable thrilling quality which goes bearer. Her powers have received the highest cul tivation that education can bestow ; but she is, moreover, an artist of nature's own snaking ; for, without the rarest gifts of genius, she could not have been made what she is by all the education in the world.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice Wightman and a Common Jury.) ASSAULT AND FALSE IMPRISONMENT.-LAMPLUGH V. ROBINSON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a mil liner, carrying on business at Great Driffield, against the defendant, a draper, of the same place, for an assault and false imprisonment. The defendant pleaded first, not guilty ; secondly, that the defendant was first assaulted by the plaintiff, and that what he did was in self defence ; thirdly, that the plaintiff was standing near the defendant's dwelling-house drunk, disorderly, and riotous, and that he was obliged to give her into the custody of a policeman. There were other pleas to which the plaintiff rejoined that the defendant used more force and violence than was necessary. Itappeared from the evidence that the plaintiff was thedaughter of a farmer residing in Yorkshire, and had for some time carried on business at Great Driffeeld, and dealt -with the defendant. She had for nine years kept company with the defendant's brother Francis, and on the nig ht of the 25th July she went several errands, and, amongst others, to the B;ue Bell public-house, and ordered half a gallon of gin for a friend. She partook there of a glass of ale, and on her return home she waited near th shop to see Francis Robinson. Instead of seeing him she saw the defendant ; and as the brother's housekeeper had had a child named Frankey, and probably from a feeling of jealousy, she asked him "If he had been to see Frankey." O❑ that words arose, and ultimately a policeman was sent for, and she was given into, custody. On her way to the police office she resisted very much, and her clothes were nearly torn off her back. She was locked up the whole of the night, and on the following morning, at 11 o'clock, she was taken before a magistrate, who, after hearing the charge, dismissed the case. The plaintiff underwent a severe cross-examination to show that she was addicted to habits of intemperance, and that she bad been seen home drunk by a policeman, which she denied. The defence was that the plaintiff was given to drunkenness, and frequently annoyed the defendant when she was in that state, from a belief that he had been the cause of breaking off the intimacy between her and his brother. On the night in question, about eight o'clock, she was at the defendant's front gate very drunk, and misbehaved herself. She was ordered off twice, went away but returned again, and con ducted herself in a disgraceful manner, using disgust ing language, threatening to do for the defendant. She was only partially dressed, having on a jacket, a gown, and a pair of torn loose drawers at the police station, where she threw herself on the ground and ex posed her person in the most disgusting manner in th• presence of several policemen, and asked one of them to fasten up her drawers. Throughout the night at the station-house she conducted herself in a violent man ner, screaming, &c., and at eight o'clock" the following morning she had not recovered from her drunkenness, and asked to be supplied with some gin, which was re fused her. She also said at the police-station that she bad had nine children, and she did not care a d- who knew it. The defendant, in his examination, said that he had been subject to great annoyance from the plaintiff. She had forced her way into the house and threatened to be the death of him, and that she would get some vitriol and mark him with it. The Learned Judge having summed up, the jury re dred to consider their verdict. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Before Mr. Justice Crowder and a Common Jury.) The list this morning contained only the names of four causes. The whole were devoid of public interest, and the Court rive before twelve o'clock. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before Mr. Baron Channell and a Common Jury.) [SLY V. STEPHENS AND SYK ES. This was an action brought for an excessive distress. It appeared that the plaintiff occupied apartments be longing to the defendant Stephens, and having become indebted in arrears of rent to the extent of 2/. 144., upon which he authorised Sykes to distrain. He did so, and removed the whole of the furniture, said to be worth 121., and that was the excess complained, although the furniture did not realise more than sufficient to defray the rent and the expenses. The jury returned a verdict for the defendants. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) APPLICATION FOR DISCHARGE -IN RE PARRY AND PARRY. These bankrupts were described as of Houghton street, Clare-market, builders, and to-day was appointed for choice of assignees, and they were brought up in custody on their application to be discharged. Mr. Grover, the detaining creditor, opposed, on the ground that the bankrupts had, whilst building, done considerable injury to a house belonging to him, and he had brought an action for damages, and the case was referred to arbitration, and the arbitrator made an award for 251., on which a judgment was issued. His Honour said that the damages amounted to 3001., and where so much was asked and the award so small, it could not be deemed a vexatious defence, and therebre the bankrupts were entitled to their discharge. - ••• l 4109.41111.._ IN R SMITH. The bankrupt was described of Broad•street, Lambeth, iron dealer, and to-day came up and passed hia last ex amination on accounts prepared by Messrs.

CITY SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) WESTON Y. ANDIaTILONG. .The plaintiff in this action described himself as an an. countanb, and sought to recover the sum of 11. 3s. Od. for the balance of an account for fees paid on defendant passing the Insolvent Court. The defendant is a clerk in Pambroke Dockyard, and did not appear, but his brother attended to di-puta the claim on the ground that it was for legal business, which plaintiff was not qualified to charge for. Plaintiff had advertised to pass defendant through the Insolvent Court for 51., and also asked 31. for court fees. His Honour said that the plaintiff was playing a dan gerous game, and was liable to proceedings against him, for there was no doubt ho had acted as an attorney. --- The plaintiff - denied this, and said he employed an attorney named Well , . Mr. Armstrong said that it was with the plaintiff that the bargain was made. His Honour said that there was no doubt that the con- tract was made with him, and be bad better be cautious in such matters. No doubt, however, be had paid the money, and order would be made on the defendant for payment. Judgment for the amount claimed. T HREATE NING THE LIFE OF SIR R.

QUEEN'S THEATRE ROYAL, DUBLIN.—A. crowded audience was richly entertained yesterday evening by the graceful and brilliant performance of Mademoiselle Auriol, the celebrated danscuse, and not lees by the astonishing feats of Flexmore, the equally renowned pantomimic contortionist. They both appeared for the first time en the Dublin stage last night, and suc ceeded, a merreille, in exciting wonder and winning ad. miration—Maale. Auriol, by her graceful and singu larly expressive action in a dumb character, and Flex more, by his matchless personification of the appearance, habits, and lithe agility of an individual of the monkey tribe. Cuvier defines the Borneo ape as being " most painfully like man in external appearance, differing, however, from the human subject in anatomical for mation and in having no notions of religion." Cer tainly some of Flexmore's amazing jumps and contor tions would lead one to els: sify him in the genus quadru. niana. The French newspapers teem with extatio en. couiums ',on his performance.
