TIER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. SEASON 1857. In announcing the arrangements for another season, the Director of her Maje.ty's Theatre cannot but refer, with sin cere 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 by Government aid, is, in this country, denied the suppr , rt which is extended to other departments of art; and it is to the patronage of the upper classes, who have rallied round tilt establishment, that the country owes the prosperity of a noble lyrical institution, which no unsupported individual efforts cou'd maintain in a manner worthy of its old renown. In acknowledging the munificent assistance which enabled bins to conquer the unprecedented difficulties of last year, the Director cannot sufficiently express his grateful appreciation of the delicacy with which it was bestowed, Support wa , freely and nobly accorded for the sole purpose of insuring the prosp rity 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 this the success of the past season is greatly owing ; and from the generals confidence w.th which the subscribers have renewed' their subscriptions for the present year, without awai ing the publication of the annual programme, the Director derives the assurance that he has not altogether disappointed the patrons of the theatre, and that he may rely on the continu ance of the cordial encouragement by which he has been hitherto upheld, and under which it is hoped still higher triumphs may be achieved than were immediately attainable on the restoration of the est tblishment. The enthusiasm which welcomed the re-opening of her Ma jesty's Theatre was not confined to the subscribers. The hearty interest and genuine appreciation displayed by the audiences who thronged the house 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 :Waddle Piccolomini and all the artistes whose talents contribut ,, d to the success of last year, not merely fn. 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 out a single change of performance—a fact without precedent in Operatic history. The advantages peculiar to her Majesty's Theatre—its cen tral position, and associations now more than a century old —give to it a natural pre-eminence of which no occasional circumstances can ever permanently deprive it. These ad vantages will be turned to account by a Company combining the prestige cif acknowledged genius with the attraction of sew candidates for the highest rank of their profession. Those who last year won favour at the hands of strangers will re appear to claim the cordial recognition which an English audience never refuses to established favourites ; and the direction has been further strengthened by an accession of new aspirants of the highest order, whose merits are already ackn , wledged on th , stages of Italy, and who only await the verdict of .the subscribers and frequenters of her Majesty's Theatre to confirm their fame. Although, in an Establishment especially devoted to Italian Opera, the compositions of Italy will naturally predominate, the gems of other schools will not be neglected. Ballet will continue to be supported by the most famous of established Artistes and the most promising of those who are ambitious of the same distinction. It is hoped that the organisation of every department will prove completely worthy of that state of renewed prosperity to which her Majesty's Theatre has now attained. The following are the arrangements already completed : OPERA. Madame ALBONI, Mdle, MARIA SPEZIA (Of La Scala, Milan ; La Fenice, Venice; San Carlos, Lisbon, &c.—her •first ap pearance). Sidle.

The " Fishery Park" Captain Ackerley (the State Colleague ,f the late J. B. Gilchrist, to 1842 appointment of his succes sor), avails himself of this medium before the people, in the absence of their select-vestry Parliament'rs, to ask for their Sympathy towards the Mahometan sects, by the offer of the arge room at Burlington House, now in Copyhold* trust of the Crown, in order for its being used as a place of God's worship by the 301 persons forming the suite of the Ten late Sovereign Mussulman Princes of India, &c., now in London, as the metropolitan site of :he civil ised world. Cap' ain Ackerley's plea being that, as the Ho nourable " Company of Jesus Worship," under the Church militia for raising dues under Ministers'-money, having seized all the Kirk-Moslem scites by force of the sth Jan., 1809, Dardanelles Treaty, whereby Gilchrist, watchman of Mecca, as the Sche•ik-ul-Islam, safety-ship, issued ins passport by article x and mt., under " its assistance as of God", for the submis sion of all the Mahometan Ulemas of the South Pacific, through his " Co-Mufti" agents Gil'spie and Raffles, in Coral-line trust by virtue of the fifty-ninth of George 111., cap. 60, which sqcred power at Gilchrist's death in 1841. became identified in the " fit and pr per person as our chief", as elected by the Sheriff's Boundary Question Writ for " une ligne tiree " by the Congress of Vienna, representing the 'with.

Captain Ackerley, in submission, considers that this Providential intent is a requisite manifestation, for the great railroad interests of commerce, vice Euphrates, to India and China, whence the necessity of reviving Nadir Shah's Edict of 13th June, 1736, on the above 1842 record for uniformity and privileges under Peace offering, as much for the Catholic-Protestant, an t Hindao- hinese sects, as the Prophetic preacher's sul lime inspiration's that has hitherto divided the " Soonies nd the -ch'ias " CN, Approved of as the " Alli Friend of God" for all, March 27, 1857.

It was but reasonable that the first members of the New Parliament, anywhere chosen, should be colleagues in the represent ttion of the very borough which is itself the seat of the Imperial Legislature. It was auspicious for the cause of the Reformers that these two successful candidat-s, lading off the Parliamentary procession of six bu►►dred and ,dd, should be—not merely Liberals, but Ultra- Liberals—not merely Reformers, but Radical Re- Formers ! Who are these men ?• What are their principles ? What are their antecedents We ll know them, and knowing, respect them--as vas signally testified by the acclamations with which thPyweregreeted on the hustings, and by the unani laity with which they were returned without the shadow of a shade of opposition. They were Sir D 5 LACY EveNs and Sir JoHN SHELLEY: and their politi ca l opinions are in a manner identical in all that mainly tends to affect the intereAs of the Commonwealth. Beth are in favour of the Bdlot. Both are Free Traders. Both are for t h e abolition of Church Rates. BAh are for an ,rnmediate Extension of the Suffrage. Sir DE L ACY EvANs advocates in general terms the En `'ranchisement of all large towns throughout the United Kingdom. Sir JOH N S HELLEY i s desirous Of securing the E'ective Fr anc hi se to a ll rate payers whatsoever. The former has in a great , This day some HINDRED AND FOURTEEN BOROUGHS will be called on to elect their repre sentatives l What a topic might it furnish for a declamation on the liberties of Albion ! A con tinental Socialist dreamer, or a prize essay writng lad at college, or a minister in opposition, or a minister in office, who wanted to glorify the pre_ sent lest the future should be better, could soon fill a column or two in their respective styles on " the splendid spectacle which all Europe may well envy." What would a German, what would an Austrian, what would as 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 market days, see few vehicles but the baker's cart, or more probably his barrow driven by his buy, and dragged by his dog. Intermediate is every conceivable variety, but very few indeed in which DOD'S magic word, INFLUENCE, will not be one ingredient in their character. We appeal to Reformers in each borough where a nomination takes places to-day, could you not improve your representation ? Improve it, we mean, by some simple, common-sense arrangements, with respect both to persons and things. Du you not know, if your borough be large enough, numerous persons who ought in all reason to have votes at this election, who will not have them ? Do you not know that many of the present voters (and many who ought to be voters) are afraid to vote as they would like ? And do you not know how they might be enabled to vote, so that in your borough they would incur no one's displeasure. Could not a committee of sensible men in your borough soon sketch some plan by which every man of intelligence and character, or every hou,,e holder, or every one who was not in the receipt of the country's money in the shape of parish re lief, shonld ♦ote through his representative, on the laws he must obey and the taxes he must pay ; and could not any of you tal, in one word, the way in which both new and old voters might be delivered from the " Legion " of evil spirits which now " possess" the constituencies? " se ven upclean spirits," worse some of them than the old borough-mongers, have haunted the house which the Reform Bill was sweep so clean. But, name them all—landlords, large employers, customers, bribers, bankers, mortgagees, lawyers, and could you not exercise the whole hatch of them by the awful word—BALLOT I We ask the constituencies, then, in the name of common sense, to pledge their members to au honest extension of the suffrage, and an honest protection of the voter. These are the reforms first wanted. Income-t ix reform, Bank reform, Church-rate reform, that is, abolition ; Civil Ser vice reform ; Secret Diplomacy, that is, despot diplomacy reform ; Ecclesiastical Courts reform : —name any reform you please, all will depend on political emancipation of taxpayers and free dom of voting. The Administrative 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 ottain Ad• ministrative Reform. We ask of the few independent boroughs to remember " their brethren in bonds "—and of those in bonds to 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 Lord JOHN RUS SELL, nor any Premier professedly of the Liberal pasty, will dare to split it again too soon, and too saucily. They will be obliged to stake their credit on some advance, and it will be great in proportion to the ability and fitnines of the borough members. The twelfth hour is come— Freemen of England, do your duty ! But what shall we say to the poor Thetfords, Arundels, Abingdons, Woodstocks, (tc ? Are they to be asked to seal their own political doom ? Our reply is, better lose themselves in an extended 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 tie kept boroughs of those who have undone them, but we commend to their attention a slightly altered, or adapted, version of GOLDSMITH'S welt known lines : " When country boroughs stoop to folly, And find too late that lords betray, What charin can soothe their Inflancnoly, What art can wash their guilt away ? " The only art their guilt to cover, To hide their shame from every eye, To give repentance to their lover, And wring his bosom, is—to die." Yes, ye " unfortunate femalas" of the consti tuencies, self-immolation is your only means of regaining political respect, the only means 4 , f showing that you have not lost your own appre ciation of political virtue, and the only step by which you can punish as they deserve those who gratify their lust of power reckless of your dis honour. Let all the boroughs of England, then—small as welt as great—remember that ,Eugland expects each borough to do its duty. We arepleased 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—PIPTY THOUSAND POUNDS—the in terest of a million of money at five per cent.— has been talked of—beina "sent away year after 0 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.ught of paying a heavy annual sum to the Royal Family 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 dJing it, and we protest against this country being saddled with the royal pauperism of Germany. Let electors look to it. We trust that the ruraour of fifty thousand pounds per annum is a mere rumour. It would be fatal, we believe, to the credit of a Minist er t o Jna k e such a proposal ; hut unless h e cou ld d ec l are 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 ho noure d SOTEREIGN'S sake, we wish to st an d we ll w i th the nation.

Let every citizen who is not on the voters' register attend at the saute hour in Smithfield, there to give his vote for the people's candidates, J. B. Leno, P. Henriette, J. Nash, and N. Stiles. The above named candidates are consistent advocates of the People's Charter, viz., man hood suffrage, equal electoral district, no property qua lification, annual parliaments, payment of members, and vote by ballot.

A few months ago this same life boat also rescued the crew of six hands from a foreign vessel, the Provence, of Norway. This life-boat is on Mr. Peake's plan, and was buil.; by the Messrs.

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 at Westminster by the Liberal electors of West minster. Let us regard the circumstance, again, as an augury of success to the interests of Re formers generally. Let us accept it as a good omen of the sentiments predominating among the new members returned to the popular branch of the ure by the really " free and indepen dent" constituencies. They say (those garrulou's talkers, the On, the Quidnunc,s, the Gobemouches, dealers in scandal and mongers of canards) that M, ALEXANDRE DUMAS is on his way to this country, with the intention of flu n ish ing 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 CANNING'S Needy Knife-grinder. JOHN BULL has his sturdy shoulder to the wheel—of Fortune l—and wig make quick work of it. Already, since the disso 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 Liberals and forty Conserva tives. Several of the latter, however, having distinctly declared in favour of Ministers, we may divide these 119 otherwise rather differ ently—giving some 25 or 30 as Deibyites, and some 80 or 90 as Palmerstonians. So much for what has already occurred. From which, what may hereafter transpire can, 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 canspicuous representatives in the last Par liament appeal to their constituencies for re election to the New Parlianviat—briefly, by letter, as invalids, unable in any way to participate in the struggle for admission within the walls of the Legislature. Viscount EBRINGTON has not sued in vain for re-acceptance by his old supporters in Marylebone. Similar success, we doubt not, will in due course attend the application of a like character made to the electors of Buteshire by the Right Hon. STUART WORTLEY, ger MAJESTY'S 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 the opposition of those Liberals in 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 fatwu,s 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 leaders of it, Mr. COBDEN, and Mr. BRIGHT, and Mr. GIBSON remained true to the popular inte rests they themselves at one time so nobly advo cated—they must have continued to this day in the ran of the great popular movement. As it 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 last the Chief of the Whig Reformers. Nu longer tha Lord JOHN of "Finality." Instead of that, talk ing boldly once more for improvements of all kinds—social, political, economic, educttional, financial, ecclesiastical ! And, beyond this even, like POPE'S depreciator—" hinting " fresh change —and " hesitating " even the Ballot ! Among all these choppi 'Ts and changings, twists and turns, it behoves all practical Reformers to keep their " weather eye" well open, just now, in the various Liberal Constituencies !

The nomination of the candidates for the reprei.ents. tion of the City L ordon in the new Parliainent took place this day in tip: Guildhall. Ttie platl,rtn wa. crowded by the most iPfluentia. men in the City of London, and in one of the side gal -I.:ries Ftrukh Khan, the Persian Amba , sa‘or, his at tendants, and Captain Lynch, tie interpreter to his Highness, were :seated. Mr. Dallas, the American Minister, also occupied a seat in the came gallery. The galery on the right hand side of the hall was filled with elegantly dres,ed ladies, amongst whotu was Lady J. Russell. At the commencement tif the proceedings the ball was but half full, in consequence of tickets being required, and these were only given to electors, but in the course of a short time it became densely filled ; and the candi dates, Baron Rothschild, Sir J. Duke, Mr. Crawfilid, Mr. Raikes Currie, and Lord J. Russell, making their appearance, they were received with loud chest ing. The precept having been read by Mr. BARKER, Mr. Sheriff NlEciii cane forward and , aid that they were met there that day for the election of four citizens to represent the city in the Commons' House of Parlia. ment. The candidates for their suffrages would each tome to address them, and he thought they wool , ' best di.icharge tbe'r duiy as citizens of London by giving each person a qtret and attentive hearing. G. A. HANKEY, E-q., said it was now 16 years since they had invited L ir.. John Russell—(hisses aqd cheers) —to represent them. After so long en acquaintance— (cries of " Too long, too lone ")—they ought to re elect him. (Cheers and cries of " No, no.") He bad been the most consistent—(cheers and cries of °• No, no ")- 1 1 advocate of improvement in the House of Commons. (Cheers and cries of " No, no.") Having alluded to the different popular measures which have received the sanc tion of Parliament, and of which Lord J. Russell had been the most active in obtaining, the hon. gentleman concluded by proposing the noble lord as a candidate for their suffrages. Mr. F. BEINOCR said he felt great honour in second ing the nomination of eo great a statesman as Lord John Russell—(eh.er,)—and that be had no doubt but that t.•morrow they wou'd `return to Parliament the most eminent statesman of mo(Cern times. A'derman WIRE neat came forward and proposed the Baron Lionel de R,tbschil i as a fit and proper person to be one of the representatives of the City of London. He felt sure the citizens would again return the Baron to Parliament, and thus prove to the bigots of the H use of Commons, that the citizens were determined to persevere in their efforts until they ob tained religious liberty. Deputy DAMN seconded the nomination of Baron Rothschild. RICHARD MARTINEAU, Esq., said be had great pleasure in propE ; sing Sir J. Duke as one of the representatives. He felt cure he bad tuned the pledges he bad given when he was last elected, and, therefore, it was the duty of electors to again return him to Parliament. (Cheers.) JOHN CHAPMAN, E- q., said be had great pleasure in seconding the nomination of his old friend, J. Duke. He should not occupy their time by dilating upon the services Sir J. Duke had rendered to the citizms of Lon don. His actions in Pat Lament were the best testi mony, and he left bis Election in their hands with the greatest confidence as to his success. Mr. J. DILLON next came forward to propose Mr. Crawford. On him making his appearance he was re ceived with great disapprobation; which continued during the whole time he did so. Mr. Dillon proceeded to de fend the line of conduct he had pursued dmieg the can vas and said that he had not deserted the noble lord. He was a great admirer of his good qualities, but not of his faults. He thought he did not wed represent this country at Vienna, and he al+o had acted wrong on the China question. These were the reasons which had compelled him to differ with him, and maintained he bad a right to do so as an elector. Mr. J. P. GASSIOT seconded the nomination of Mr. Crawford. W. G. PEEscorr, E.q., said he ceme there to propose Mr. Raiket. Currie. (Hisses, cheers, and cries of "Send bim to Northampto❑," " Innoce❑t blood," and "No Reform.") It the citizens elected him they would secure the services of a man, a merchant, and a banker —(Cries of " We don't want him")—and one who would support every measure calculated to improve the con dition of all classes of this great cou❑try. A. ANDERSON, Esq., seconded the nomination of Mr. Currie. The respective candidates then addressed the assem blage. Lord J. Russell was loudly cheered during the elivery of his address, which was a recapitulation of the facts contained in the speech he delivered a few days ago at the London cavern. Mr. Sheriff MEciit then called for a show of hands s which he declared to be in favour of Lord J. Russell Baron Ro:,hschild, Sir J. Duke, and Mr. Crawford. A pH was then demanded. A vote of thanks to Mr. Sheriff Mechi terminated the proceedings. FINSBURY. The nomination of two members to serve in the forth coming Parliament for this borough took place this morning opposite the Sessions-house, Clerkenweli•green. Precisely at 12 o'clock the returning offloer (Mr. Boyce James), accompanied by the .various candidates and their friends, appeared on the platform, and were re ceived wi-h loud cheers by the crowd, which was of a most disorderly character. The usual formaliti,-s having been gone through, The RETURNING OFFICER said he hoped the electors would give every candidate a fair and impartial hearing. Mr. GRAHAM nominated Mr. T. S. Duncombe as a fit and proper person to represent tliiA borough in the en suing Parliament, and Mr. SHILLIBEER seconded it, amidst liud cheers. Mr. DENNIS, it) a speech of considerahk length, nomi nated Mr. Cox as a fit and proper person, and Mr. WILKINSON Reomded it. Mr. TYLER nominated Mr. Parry, and Mr. SAVAGE seconded the nomination. Mr. WHITS then came forward to nominate Major Reed ; and Mr. ROBINSON seconded the nomination. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, after paying a tribute of re-pact to the courteous conduct of the other candidates towards himself, said that he hoped that during the coming con test recourse would not be bad to personalities, as such a course was unworthy of the Liberal cause. If the electors thought that their interests would be better represented by the lawyers, he would advise them to send Mr. Crux and Sergeant Parry. Or, if they preferred a little gunpowder with the lrw, he would advise them to send . the gallant Major Reed. (Cries of "He never smelt powder.") • But if they would have an old and tried friend, who had represented them f , r a period tbf 23 years—and whatever s;ns might be laid to his charge dur ing that time, neglect of their interests was not among them—he ( Mr. Dnucombe) wocic.l again seek their support. Atter briefly reviewing the principal • political topics which at present occupy the attention of the public mind he thanked the electors for the honour they had done him. Mr. Cox then addressed the electors in support of his claims to be their representative, and after corn ' batting the various objections which had been urged against him, and deten , tins his political principles, said he felt confident that the electors would place him sec end nn the poll. (Cheers.) And sboul i they do so he would devote the best of his abilities to the advancement of their interests. (Cheers.) Mr. PARRY (amidst great confusion) then addressed the electors, and said that he would support Lord Pal rfterson in his foreign policy, but not in his home po icy, unless he brought forcard some extensive and compre hensive system of reform. MAj , ,r REED then addressed the electors in support of his claims. A show of hands was then called for, which was in favour of Mr. Duncornhe and Mr. Cox, and a poll was demanded on beFialf of the other conciliates, which will take place tu•murrow (Saturday).
