MAJESTY'SjER THEATRE lj SEASON 1837. In announcing the arrangements for another season. ti Director of her Maje-ty's Theatre cannot but refer, with s'n sere gratitude, to the success which attended his efforts, un der very trying circumstances, in the season of 1856. Dramatic Opera, which in every foreign State is fostered br Government aid, is, in this country, denied the support whit} is ext3nded to other departments of art; and it is to tht patronage of the upper classes, who have rallied round th, establishment, that the country owes the prosperity of noble lyrical institution, which no unsupported individuu efforts could maintain in a manner worthy of its old renown. In acknowledgi-g the munificent assistance which enabled him to conquer the unprecedented difficulties of last year, th: Director cannot sufficiently express his grateful appreciation of the delicacy with which it was bestowed. Support wa freely and nobly accorded for the sole purpose of insuring tbc. prosp 'city of the institution, and the counsel which added to its value was never accompanied by a word to shackle the dis . retion or impair the authority of the direction. To thi , the success of the past season is greatly owing • and from thr generals confidence w th which the suhscribers have renewed their subscriptions for the present year, without awaiting th, publication of the annual programme, the Director derive the assurance that he has not altogether disappointed the patrons of the thektre, and that he may rely on the continu ance of thra cordi-al encouragement by which he has been hitherto upheld, and under which it is hoped still higher triumphs may be achieved than were immediately attainable on the resto'ation of the est ,blisliment. The enthusiasm which welcomed the re-opening of her Ma jesty's Theatre was not confined to the subscribers. The hearty interest and genuine appreciation disT.layed by the audiences who thronged the house from the first night to the closing farewell demand the warmest thanks of the Director. which he will endeavour practically to express by renewed efforts in the service of the public. The Director is most anxious to acknowledge how much he is indebted to Maddle Piccolomini and all the artistes whose talents contributed to the success of last year, not merely f)r those efforts of genius which won the sympathy and admira tion of the subscribers and the public, but for that high artistic feeling and honourable fidelity which secured the audience from disappointment, and enabled the Direction to produce the entertainments promised for each evening with ont a single change of performance— a fact without precedent in Operatic history. The advantages peculiar to her Majesty's Theatre—its cen tral position, and associations now more than a century old —give to it a natural pre-eminence of which no occasional circumstances can ever permanently deprive it. These ad vantages will be turned to account by a Company combining the prestige of acknowledged genius with the attraction of inew candidates for the highest rank of their profession. Those who last year won favour at the hands of strangers will re appear to claim the cordial recognition which an English audience never refuses to established favourites; and the direction has been further strengthened by an acces.ion of new aspirants of the highest order, whose merits are already ackn wledged on tho stages of Italy, and who only await the verdict of the subscribers and frequenters of her Majesty's Theatre to confirm their fame. Although, in an Establ:sliment especially devoted to Italian Opera, the compositions of Italy will naturally predominate, the gems of other schools will not be neglected. Ballet will continue to be supported by the most famous of established Artistes awl the most promising of those who are ambitious of the same distin c ti on , _ _ It is hoped that the organisation of every department will prove completely worthy of that state of renewed prosperity to which her Majesty's Theatre has now attained.

LONDON. FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1857 measure illustrated his political Ntews by the same evidences of daring and sagacity which have urn the " tented field" rendered ,his military cart er illustrious. The latter is so cordial and earnest a champion of his views within the House of Commons that—in the matter of the Ballot for example—he is the seconder of the annual motion of Mr. HENRY BERKELEY. Such are the two First Members returned to the New Parliament , xt Westminster by the Liberal electors of West minster. Let us regard the circumstance, again, ts an augury of success t , ) the interests of Re formers generally. Let us accept it as a good ,men of the sentiments predominating among the new members returned to the popular branch of the Legiaa.ture by the really " free and indepen dent" constituencies. They say (those garrulous talkers, the On, the (bid/tunes, the Gobeinouches, dealers in scandal aod mongers of canards) that K ALEXANDRE DUMAS is on his way to this country, with the intention of furnishing an account of our English Elections to the columns of the Presse—the Times of the Frenchmen ! He had better make haste, or he will run the risk of hav ing no more story to tell than Carfripra's Needy Knife-grinder. JoRN BULL has his sturdy shoulder to the wheel—of Fortune !—and wi , l make quick work of it. Already, since the di'so solution of the old Parliament, the earth has turned upon its axis to the extent of merely some four or five revolutions—and we have actually returned upwards of a hundred representatives to the new Parliament ! To be precise, we believe, there are now exactly 119 candidates already re turned without opposition. And out of these there are seventy-nine Libcrala and forty Coxiserva- Several of the latter, however, /laving distinctly declared in favour of Ministers, we may divide these 119 otherwise rattier differ ently—giving some 25 or 30 as Derbyites, and some 80 or 90 as Palmerstonians. So much for what has already occurred. From which, what may hereafter transpire c tin, of course, to a cer tain extent, be pretty readily predicated. It is a somewhat noticeable circumstance, in the present General Election, that no less than three conspicuous representatives in the last Par liament appeal to their constituencies for re election to the New Parliam,nt—hriefly, by letter, as invalids, unable in any way to participate in the struggle for admission wi.hin the walls of the Legislature. Viscount EBRINGT.►N has not sued . in vain for re-acceptance by his old supporters in Marylebone. Similar success, we doubt nut, will in due course attend the application of a like character made t, the electors of Butesh:re by the Right Hon. STUART WORTLEY, Her MAJESTYS Solicitor-General. It remains to be seen whether the same good fortune will follow the manly though supplicatory epistle despatched to the men of Manchester from Rome by a much more remarkable man than either, but a man, at the same time, it must be allowed, of nit by any means such stable reputation. Mr. BRIGHT, and, with him, his Right Hon. Colleague Mr. MILNER GIBSON, having drawn upon themselves tie opposition of those Liberela i■ the constituency who cannot find it in their hearts to follow them, blindfolded by infatuation, through all the fens of folly, and all the quagmires of inconsistency through which they have been stumbling and floundering in the wake of some nameless ignis fatuus of a fan tastic political hallucination. They, at least, should be the very last to complain of the " divi sion in the camp" which their own eccentricities have alone originated. Had the Manchester School generally, but more particularly the principal leadera of it, Mr. COBDEN, and Mr. BRIGHT, and Mr. GIBSON remained true to the popul tr inte rests they themselves at one time so nobly advo cated—they must have continued to this day in the van of the great popular movement. As it ti ves. is, they have either fallen back into the rear or have straggled out upon either flank, according to the whim of the moment, to indulge in some eccentric escapade. Foremost still among the leaders of that Movement remains to the lest the Chief of the Whig Reformers. No longer th Lord JOHN of "Fina►lity."

Ainoug all these choppings and chaugings, twists and turns, it behoves all practical Reformers to keep their " weather eye" well open, just now, in the various Liberal Constituencies !

What would a German, , what would an Austrian, what would an Italian, what would a Frenchman give, to be as free as these hundred and fourteen boroughs to choose legis lators who could practically choose the Execu tive Governments of their respective countries. Yet, we ask Reformers all over the kingdom, where is the borough in which they could not improve the representation ? In the long list we find constituencies as different in number and character as those of Finsbury, Manchester, or Birmingham, and Thetford, Arundel, or Caine-- perfect independence, and absolute dependence ; boroughs all alive with business ; and others, - whose one or two streets, except it may be on Westminster--we would gladly think—yester- market days, see few vehicles but the baker's day struck the keynote for the Liberal Consti- cart, or more probably his barrow driven by his tuencies. boy, and dragged by his dog.

We ask the constituencies, then, in the name of common sense, to pledge their members to au honest extension of Vie suffrage, and an honest protection Of the voter. These are the reforms first wanted. Income-tax reform, Bank reform, Church-rate reform, that is, abolition ; Civil Ser vice reform ; Secret Diplomacy, that is, despot diplomacy reform ; Ecclesiastical aturta reform : —name any reform you please, all will depend on political emancipation of taxpayers and fre,- duce of voting. The Adininistr.i.tive Reformers themselves, who at first resented the introduction of these questions as an intrusion, now see that an electoral oligarchy, for the more part the slaves of an aristocratic oligarchy, will never at in Ad. ininistrative Reform. We ask of the few independent boroughs to remember "their brethren in bonds "—and of those in bonds t , .) make a bold and fearless effort to break them for once—for this once—for if a vigorous band of determined reformers be sent to the House this time it will inaugurate a new era. Neither Lord PALMERSTON nor L.)rd JOHN RIIS SELL, nor any Premier professedly of the Liberal party, will dare to split it again too coon, and too saucily. They will be obliged to stake their credit on some advance, and it wil! be great in proportion to the ability and firmness of the borough members. The twelfth hour is come— Freemen of England, do your duty ! But what shall we say to the poor Thafords, A rundels, Abingclons, Woodstocks, &t: ? Are Jiey to be asked to seal their own political doom ? Our reply is, better lose themselves in au t xtended County Franchise than live as now in political shame. Better be free in a county than slaves in a borough. They pine on in disgrace, as the kept boroughs of those who have undone them, but we commend to their attention a slightly altered, or adapted, version of GOLDSMITH'S well known lines : " When country boroughs stoop to folly, And find too late that lords betray, What charm can soothe their na-lancnoly, What art can wash their guilt away 7 "The only art their guilt to cover, To hide their shame from every eye, To give repAntatme to their lover, And wring hie bosom, is— to die" Yes, ye " uuforitinate females" of the consti tuencies, self-immolation is your only means of regaining political respect, the only means of showing that you have not lost your own appie citstion of political virtue, and the only sty by which you can punish as they deserve those who gratify their lust of power reckless of your dts- honour. Let alt tie boroughs of England, then—small as welt as great—remember that Eugland expects each borough to do its duty. We are pleased to see that Prussia and the dowry, or annuity job, for the Princess Royal are not forgotten. It has been already mentioned to several candidates. Let it be mentioned to every one. Some reasonable dowry we do not object to. Let our princesses, while we have them, be treated like princesses. What electors should warn a candidate of is, that they will not endure a large sum—FIFIT THOUSAND rourins—the in terest of a million of money at five per cent. — bas been tAlked of—being sent away year after year to be spent on a Prussian husband, on the Prussian slaves of Russia. We want our money spent at home. We would rather give our prin cesses double here, than half the sum abroad. Above all, we resent the th:nght of paying a heavy annual sum to the Royal F4inily of Prus sia. A Prussian prince ought to be able to main tain his wife. We have English nobles. in abun dance quite capable of doing it, and we protest against this country being saddled with the royal pauperism of Germany. Let elect..rs look to it. We trust that the rumour of fifty thousand pounds per annum is a mere rumour. It would be fatal, we believe, to the credit of a Mi n i ster to make such a proposal ; but unless h e could declare on his honour that he was influenced by no unmen tionable suggestion, it would be much more fatal to the reputation of one whom, for our honoured SOVEREIGN'S mike, we wish to btlud well with the nation.

CRINOLINES. —The crinolines may sometimes be found of use in a manner for which they were never intended, as may be seen from the foil wing account given by a Striviburg journal :—A. few days since a young female arrived at the station of Thiguenau to take the train to the first-mentioned place, but she was informed that it had started some minutes before. Without saying a word to any one she left the office, and proceeded to the banks of the river Moder, which runt close to the eta tion, and without hesitation jumped in. Thanks to her crinoline, however, she floated like a water nymph, and the bath which she had taken having changed her deter mination, she scrambled out, and was again proceeding to the railway office, when she was met by the etation maiter, who, having from his window seen her take the leap, was hastening to her assistance. He provided her with dry clothes, and afterwards started her off by the next train to her destination. The only reason she gave for her rash conduct was that she was annoyed at not belnig able to reach the wad her journey as ugly as she ititt4lAide THE GLr'N.ZRAL ELECTIONS. --~- NOMINATIONS THIS DAY.
