The Government have adopted the suggeston offered by the Duke of WELLINGTON while the Landed Pro perty (Ireland) Bill was in Committee, so far as the payment of the labourers under that Bill is concerned. It would scarcely have been proper, however mis chievous the practice complained of had been, to in troduce a clause interfering materially with the em ployment of labour throughout the country in a Bill which was only intended to afford facilities for the improvement of their estates to certain landlords, who might elect to take advantage of its provisions. The subject is of sufficient importance to warrant the in troduction of a measure exclusively devoted to itself. Nothing can be more objectionable than the practice of including in a single Bill different subjects which have no immediate connexion with each other. Many persons might strongly advocate one of the principles and be as strongly opposed to another. It also leads to the greatest confusion when matters legislated on are not even alluded to in the preamble of the Act. However just or proper the limitation of the hours of labour in factories in itself might be, it could scarcely have been introduced as part of a measure for a repeal of the duty on raw cotton, or for an advance to certain manufacturers. The principle , should stand or fall on its own intrinsic merits, and not receive any adventitious aid from another with which it had been coupled. The Ministry have therefore acted discreetly in limiting the operation of the clause to the measure then in question, and to that extent it has been most properly sanctioned. It is not for the benefit of the Irish landlords only that the sum of 1,500,0001. is about to be advanced from the national Exchequer. It is to enable them to pro vide that employment which, from their own limited resources, they could not hate afforded. It is to enable them to direct the vast quantity of labour now remaining useless and unproductive into the most beneficial channels. It is particularly important that the whole of the money granted by the Legislature should be appropriated to the purpose for which it was intended, and that no portion should be applied by the borrower to his own use, unless some such safeguard was introduced. This could easily have been effected. The landowner, who is empowered to select for him ' self the men to whom he will give employment, might not have taken any who would not consent to take a portion of land from him at an exorbitant price, and to devote the greater part of their wages to the satisfaction of the rent. This evasion will be rendered impossible by the additional clause, which provides " that the payment for labour under the Act shall only be made in the current coin of the realm,'' and the interests of the labourer will be protected in the most efficient manner. Generally speaking, any interference between the labourers and those by whom they are employed is objectionable ; but when the nation has been called upon to advance large sums of money for the support of the starving people, and thus to take upon itself a duty which should have been performed by the owners and occupiers of land in Ireland, it becomes necessary to take steps that may prevent the recurrence of a si milar necessity. One of the chief causes that have led to such an unhappy result, undoubtedly, has been that the peasantry of the country have been taught to place their whole dependence on a precarious crop. In place of obtaining a pecuniary remunera• tion for their labour, as in this country, and then purchasing therewith the necessary supplies of food for their families, they got a slip of land for which they mortgaged their labour. If it turned out un productive, their only resource was in casting them selves upon the charity of the public. This cause has led to periodical famines, and so long as it is suffered to continue, the like effects will be produced. The sooner, therefore, that some general measure can be introduced to do away with the grievance the better for the country, and we know of none more calcu lated to attain that object than a provision making void any agreement for the payment of rent by the labour of the party taking land, and enabling him to recover the wages of his labour in money, notwith standing any such agreement. The Frankfort Gazette, of the 9th instant, states, that disturbances connected with the high price of provisions occurred atLeutmeritz, in Bohemia, on the Ist instant. The people cut off the ears of a speculator in corn. The Hanover Gazette, of the 6th instant, states, that since the 17th ultimo, horse flesh has been introduced as an article of food amongst the popula tion with the best effect ; .5,000 lbs. has been already sold for consumption in the different towns of the kingdom. The smack Speedy arrived on Wednesday, at Fal mouth, from Lisbon in six days. The mission of Colonel WYLDE had, it was hoped, proved effective ; and at the time the Speedy sailed negotiations were going on between the Junta and the Government. The Levant mail brings intelligence from Constan tinople to the 26th, and from Athens to the 30th ult. The French fleet, under the command of the Princa DE JOINVILLE, has arrived in the Archipelago, as has an Egyptian fleet, MEHEMET ALI having tendered the services of his fleet to the Porte against Greece. The Russian Ambassador at Athens has received orders to support the demand for satisfaction made by the Porte. COLETTI is tottering to his fall : his majority in the Chamber of Deputies having dwindled down to one vote, and that one vote his own, he has had recourse to the desperate step of a dissolution. The Illoniteur Grec of the 26th publishes a decree dissolving the Chamber, and convoking a new one on the 26th of July. -.11111 , Madrid papers of the 6th have arrived. The QUEEN, accompanied by her uncle and her sister-in-law, left Madrid on the sth for Aranjuez. The ICING did not accompany her MAJESTY. The financial plan of Senor SALAMANCA will, it is said, be carried into effect by a series of royal decrees. The funeral of CASTRO 1' OROZCO, took place on the Gth, and was attended by the Members of both Chambers. There were 180 carriages in the pro cession. MADRID BOLSA, MAY 6.—The Three per Cents. were done at 31% for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 19* ; the Debt without Interest at 5)< 3 ; and the Coupons at 16. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The severance between the Guizot Conservatives and the Progressive Conservatives is now complete. The Debats thus commences its reply to the attack made by the Presse of the preceding day on the Ministerial party : " We will not enter into a long discussion with the chief and organ of the defunct party of Progressist Conservative!. There are no longer any Progressist Conservatives ; the mask is thrown off. They have taken a defined position, and they declare to the majority that its policy conducts to a terrible revolution! That is frank and honest opposition." The Debats then proceeds to attack, with great severity and sarcasm, the conduct and projects of the Progressist Conservatives, and concludes as follows : " A great and very dangerous misunderstanding is for the future cleared up. It is now notorious that a cunning oppo sition wri-tgled itself into our ranks, and laboured by sap and mine to ruin the Conservative party. We had some idea that t his was the case when we saw the chief of these pre tended Comiervat %tits blame, under pretext of independence, sometimes the fo re i gn, sometimes the domestic policy, of the Government and th e C hambers. Whoever has followed the history of the last Legislature, is not ignorant that all the erria 1 leave our coffers to pay the foreign producers—that the restrictive conditions of the Bank of England Charter would consequently impote a serioui check upon credit—that our manufacturing interests would feel its effect; and that the demand for labour would dimini.h, which, combined with the probable dear ness of provisions of all descriptions, would inevitably lead to great national privation and distress. All this might be very true, but until he actually fell it, he would not compromise his accustomed tranquillity. The prophecy is now, in a great measure, fulfilled; and accordingly communities of all sorts have sent up their representatives to Downing -street to detail their pressing grievances. Much more, however, de pends upon individuals themselves than upon the Go vernment. Practical conduct is just now the one thing needful. Economy should be universally sanctioned. Prudence demands thus much, though we are far from sharing in the apprehensions entertained by many that the present crisis will be of some dura tion. Example is better than precept. Her MAJESTY has taken the lead : an order was yesterday issued by the Lord Steward, commanding that for the pre sent no description of flour, except seconds, shall be used for any purpose in her MAJESTY'S household, and that no person in the Palace shall have more than a pound of bread each day. We hope this patriotic example will be speedily imitated throughout the land. The poor will feel thankful, and the country will be largely benefited. lufirnit g _lllll4 A.ONDON. FRIDAY, MAY 14, 1847. While Lord JOHN RUSSELL is maligned in contumelious language by a few Irish firebrands, he is immeasurably more than compensated by the dis tinguished approval of all right-thinking men in the kingdom, and especially of his own eminent consti tuency. This has been conspicuously shown in the grand civic entertainment given to the members of the Administration by the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR. It is befitting the generous character which has latterly characterised the Legislature, that the exertions of the Ministry, and especially the courage they have evinced during an unparalleled accumula tion of difficulties, should periodically receive some such public acknowledgment. It is appropriate, moreover, that these expressions of confidence and approbation should immediately precede the vaca tions of Parliament, so that the members of her MAJESTY'S Councils may be cheered on in their arduous and extraordinary toils. On the retirement of Sir R OBERT P EEL , it was conceived by the unreflective that the new Administration would find the general Exe cutive a eomparative sinecure. The giant ob stacle of the laws prohibitirig the importation of corn had been removed, and the erroneous sup position followed thereupon that the path of govern ment was thereby singularly smoothed and widened. Undoubtedly the Government was relieved from a tremendous incubus by the repeal of those enact ments, but there remained many another incubus besides. There was the incubus of national ignorance, there was the incubus of an erroneous criminal code, there was the incubus of a demoralizing and dege nerating social condition, and a long vista of similar woes and curses. All these had to be removed before the country could hope to arise in its full strength, to put forth its full powers, to vindicate its true character. Knowledge had to be rendered accessible to those whose poverty debarred them from the blessings of instruction. Sanatory regulations had to be compiled for the preservation of public life, of public health, and of public morality. Criminals had to be regarded rather as reclamable to the paths of virtue than as obdurately bound to the perpetration of iniquity. The whole foundations of the social system had to be removed, to be deepened, to be strengthened, and, if possible, rendered sufficiently wide and absolutely immutable. Those were among the gigantic labours which the newly inaugurated Government were expected to accomplish, and the ex pectations of the community were confirmed by the solemn assurances and voluntary engagements of the Cabinet. The miseries which have descended upon Ireland and upon a considerable portion of Scotland have hitherto, however, retarded or interrupted the mea sures of reform promised by Lord JOUN RUSSELL and his colleagues. Intermittently, it is true, the educational and sanatory schemes of the Administra tion have been introduced to the notice of the repre sentative and hereditary Houses of Legislation ; but the main energies of the Ministry, the main re sources of the Treasury, the chief amount of the industry, and eloquence, and sagacity, and forethought of the Government, have been devoted to the alleviation of the distresses and the amelioration of the condition of the suffering millions of our fellow -countrymen. Can any one, therefore, conceive for a single instant that the nation is in any manner aggrieved by the postponement of the peculiar benefits anticipated from the present Cabinet on its first formation ? Not, most assuredly, when all the labours and anxieties of the Government in connexion with Ireland are taken into consideration. Had her MAJESTY'S advisers done nothing more during the course of this onerous and eventful session than they have actually accomplished for the ' population of the sister island, they would have entitled themselves to the lasting gratitude and re membrance of the people. Nor has the assiduity of the Administration, in striving to diminish the dreadful effects of the late dispensations of DIVINE PROVIDENCE, been without its beneficial consequences in the way of example and incitement. The benevolence of the Cabinet has influenced the benevolence of private individuals and public asso ciations, it has even operated in eliciting the cordial assistance of our brethren on the banks of the Ganges, and of our brethren also by blood on the northern continent of America. Upon these exhibitions of a true cosmopolitan charity the Prime Minister of England very beautifully observed in the banquet chamber of the Mansion House, " I rejoice in this manifestation of sympathy and liberality; it shows that no remoteness of distance—that no diversity of institutions—that no records of separation, even though written in bloody characters—have obliterated that sympathy which springs from the same origin. Remembering that they speak the same language as ourselves—that they read the same authors— that they have the same precepts of divine truth by the banks of the Hudson and the Mississippi that we read from the same sacred volume on the banks of the Thames and the Shannon—l rejoice that they have shown the same enlarged spirit of charity and liberality; and I am sure, whatever may be the mis fortune of the present time, there is this consoling circumstance—a circumstance tending to unite the two nations in the bonds of brotherhood, kindness, and affection." Actuated by these high and enno bling principles, the Ministers cannot fail to ensure to themselves, not merely the sympathies of the po pulation of these realms, but of the most distant ter ritories. Lord JOHN RUSSELL can afford to con- temn the opprobrious epithets by which he himself and his Ministerial associates are mentioned by Dr. :11‘rIALE and other malcontents. The Government has acquired for itself the confidence of the empire by its determined, temperate, and generous policy. The present session of Parhament had scarcely opened before Lord BROUGHAM, multa revolvens, pointedly recommended that the heads of families throughout the Empire should rigidly enforce the utmost providence in their domestic establishments with regard to the consumption of bread. The ad • vice was given upon the sound policy of taking time by the forelock. It was at once judicious and bene volent. The idea was not an original one; but the • circumstances under which his Lordship revived it and the value which he properly imparted to it, by ; reference to the humane resolutions adopted, within his Lordship's memory, by a large number of Peers, when the country was threatened with an alarming scarcity of food, entitled the recommendation to a cordial approval. Mankind at large are averse to test by due reflection the preroyance of the monitor, where acquiescence in his views is likely to entail upon them the prudent necessity of undergoing any temporary privations. They like to put off the evil day, and are willing to believe upon the slenderest data, however specious, that results will falsify the gloomiest prognostications. This temperament is peculiar to JOHN BULL. He is always grumbling, but at bottom he is ever sanguine. Ele retains his confidence to the last, but it is his humour to conceal the existence of this feeling from everybody el se . Th e consequence is, that it is fre quently impossibl e t o ki ndle his energies till he finds himself m enaced by some prominent moment, however, that aff a irs, individual cr isi or s. col T le h c- e tive, ha ve attained to a critical height, JOHN BULL rushes in medial re relies upon his indOrn i w ta . h th le as remarkable zest. He enjoys his triumphs all the mopre irit fhoer should, in the first instance, have complicated matters perti nacious adherence to his otiose propensities. yua troubled him little, at the beginnin g of the sess ion,es It, t ) warn him that extraordinary supplies of foreign corn I must be imported to meet the demand at home, ccasi .ned by the extensive failure in the potato crepe and the wants of a population increasing at the rate of 1,000 a day; that a vast amount of bullion would _ eti DA lir MORNING, MA Y baWireents of the Ministry, all the crises of the majority were caused by these double•faced and double-voting Conservatives. They were preparing to play the same part in the present Legislature; but we congratulate ourselves on timing nnmasked them. Their intrigue, caught in the fact, no longer frightens us. We know what they are, and what they desire; and that is important. The Opposition opens its arms to them. As for ourselves we will no longer consi der as Conservatives the men who believe they characterise the policy followed during seventeen years by these three words—' Nothing! nothing ! nothing!' But there will still remain two very precious things to the new Progressist party and its chief—the esteem of the National and the praises of the Augsburg Gazette—praises which everybody can com mand who will." The recent changes in the Ministry are commented on in all these papers. The Constitutionnel says— " It will be seen by the royal ordonnances that the retire ment of M. Lacave Laplange was not a voluntary one. He persisted to the last, with a pride which does him honour, in refusing to give in his resignation. He would not meekly submit to the insulting want of good faith of his colleagues, and has openly protested against the odious and pitiable cal culation of men, who think to expiate the common fault by the sacrifice of the person amongst them who was the least culpable. In compelling the other Ministers to dismiss him, M. Lacave Laplange has deprived them of the entire benefit which they hoped to derive from his removal. He has denounced them aloud as the first authors of the disorders, the deficit, and the gaspiilage • he has cast upon them the responsibility which they had imagined they could throw upon him." The Constilutionnel then remarks on the men who have been chosen to fill up the gaps in the Adminis tration, after, as it asserts, all others who were ap plied to had refused to join the Cabinet : " We will say nothing of General Trezel, an ultra-Con servative from conviction, but personally so respectable that he disarms criticism. All the rest of the combination still further weakens instead of strengthening the Ministry. M. Dumon did will show more character in the Finances than he did in the department of Public Works. He is capable of learning what M. Lacave Laplagne already knew; but for some time to come he will be much less conversant with such matters than his predecessor was. M. Jayr was a pretty good Prefect, but he is otherwise of inferior mind. He had accomplished his political career when be reached the Prefecture of Lyons, and had even exceeded the point to which his ambition could justly soar. The choice of M. de Montebello as Minister of Marine is supremely ridiculous. We can comprehend that an effort should be made to place at the head of this department a man who does not belong to the navy, but he ought to be at least a skilful adminis trator. The person chosen is an Ambassador who has ac quired some diplomatic experience in little courts, but who has not been an administrator in any way. It is the history of the dancer of Figaro. Thus the effect produced by these, nominations is not to be described. They have been re ceived with a universal laugh, except by the most Ministerial members of the majority, who, however, are discontented and sad." All the Opposition journals are equally severe on the new appointments. The Presse declares that " the three vacant portfolios were offered from door to door, but none would accept them, not even the most de voted friends, such as M. VITET, which proves that no great confidence is entertained in the stability of the Cabinet. It is, in fact, a Cabinet worn out. In this respect neither M. Guizor nor M. DUCHATEL entertained any illusions ! They admit that they have only wished to gain a little time, in hopes that some favourable circumstances may permit them to withdraw with dignity, as they might have done when they experienced the first check." The Courrier Francais states that the Ministers have refused to give Admiral MACKAU the command of the squadron in the South Seas, for which he had applied. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Tuesday, M. ODILON BARROT asked for explanations respecting the recent Ministerial changes, and M. GUIZOT named Friday as the day on which he should be at the service of the Chamber, to answer any questions that might be proposed to him on the subject. A Bill was brought in by the Minister of Commerce on Monday extend ing the time for the free importation of corn into France to the 31st of October. In the sitting of Monday M. CREMIEUX, in moving his resolution to prevent Deputies from taking part in public companies, made some slight allusion to the recent Ministerial changes, but such was the length and discursiveness of the speaker, that M. DUMON, the new Finance Minister, was enabled to give them the go-bye. M. GRAUDIN then attempted ,to elicit some explanations from the Ministers, but their friends, to prevent the questions being heard, set up a loud shouting, and a scene of disgraceful uproar and confusion ensued, and which was characterised by the President as most unwarranted and most in decent. The Chamber decided to take the proposi tion of M. CREMIEUX into consideration. The Moniteur announces that the importation of grain and flour into France during the second fort night of Aptil amounted to 790,445 hectolitres, or 59,280 tons. The quantities imported from the first of July, 1846, to the Ist of May, 1847, amounted to 6,695,431 hectolitres. The Semaphore de Marseilles of the Bth instant announces the receipt of private letters from Malaga, brought on the 7th inst. by the Sphynx steamer, mentioning that the Consul of France in that city had been informed by the Spanish Governor of Melilla that ABD-EL-KADER had forwarded to him a second letter for the French Government, offering to submit.

(From The Sun of Last Night.) Tl 4 Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was dull. Sales 4,000 bales, at previous rates.—Railway Shares were a shade better, but there was still a good deal of heavy stock pressing for sale. Accounts have been received from the Cape of Good Hope dated the 9th of March. Sir Henry Pottinger had held a levee, and received the inhabitants with great kindliness and sincerity, assuring them of his determination to use vi gorously, and yet prudently, the great power entrusted to him, and at the same time to endeavour to settle the affairs of the frontier on a permanent basis. According to the official returns made up for the year to January 5, the exports of wool, beef, butter, and various other valuable productions, had fallen off considerably compared with 1846, owing to the abandonment of farms and loss of sheep and cattle during the war. Under the assumed name of " Tristram Trye," a party has appeared in the currency field, as an advocate of 14 notes, or at least of a measure compelling the Bank at all times to keep a much larger reserve of specie, so as to enable it to continue its usual accommodation to the public after the export of five or six millions. The writer's views appear to have attracted much attention at Liverpool, and are entitled, in many points, to general consideration. He remarks : . " The Bank of England holds, we suppose, ten millions of specie for twenty millions of notes out; she exchanges five millions of bullion for five millions of notes; she has now, instead of the proportion of ten millions to twenty, only five of bullion to fifteen of notes. To adjust this variation in the proportions of the basis, comes in the enforcing the true principles of currency' of Mr. S. J. Loyd, namely, to contract the total circulation of paper, until the proportions of the original basis are restored. Now it will be evident that, to render this theory consistent, even with itself, one thing is required, namely, that a return be made of the total amount of coin in circulation. You must know Ibis first—you must know it exactly : and yet the theorists act without such knowledge, and such fundamental knowledge appears never by them to have been sought for as a part of ' the true principle of currency.' If the total circu lation of notes were 40, and of specie 20, and 5 of the latter be exported, it is evident that if the relative value of the paper to the specie can be sustained only by taking more than five from the forty, you must take ten. You will then have the proportion of fifteen of specie to thirty of notes, which is the same as twenty to forty. This is all plain enough. Let us try a converse application to the rule. Let us have a total circulation of eighty in specie to forty in notes Let five of the specie be exported, reducing the former to seventy-five against thirty. five in notes. You can now only restore the original relative value of the paper circulation, by making the Bank of England re-issue two and a half of paper! You will then have seventy-five of specie to thirty-seven and a half of paper —the original proportion. But to keep the currencies of the same relative value, they must be kept at all times of the same amount.' Now, ac cording to the most authentic estimate (for this is all you can obtain, and therefore the theorists never can see the barometer to use it as they pretend), there is in circula tion of gold alone sixty to seventy millions. There must be also twenty to twenty-five millions of silver money. It is perfectly safe, however, to estimate the two at an average of eighty millions; and the paper being forty, what is the consequence in connexion with the rule before us ? That you can only equalise the specie and paper circulation con formably with the rule, after losing five from the former, by augmenting the paper from forty to seventy-five millions! We appeal to the senior Wrangler whether this is not sound logic? Is it not, at least, as reasonable that the Bank cir culation should confirm to the bullion standard of the coun try, as that the circulation of the latter should conform to the bullion of the Bank ?" The English Funds have improved this morning, in con sequence partly of the Bank of England having made ar rangement for accommodating parties with money at a rea sonable rate, upon the deposit of stock. This, while it gives ease, may prevent sales of Consols. We believe the opera tion is connected with the loan of stock made to various par ties by the Bank some time since. Consols have been 87 1 / 8 %, but are now 87 to 1 / 8 for transfer, and for time they have varied from 87% to 87 1 /. Exchequer-bills have been 4s. premium to par.

The South- Eastern and Continental Steam-ship Company's vessel the Queen of the Belgians sailed from Folkestone for Boulogne on Tuesday evening, at half-past five o'clock, and arrived again in Folkestone harbour on Wednesday morning, at ten o'clock, with eighty passengers. The steamer Queen of the French entered Folkestone on Tuesday evening, and sailed again for Boulogne yesterday morning at eight o'clock. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. I List evening was a glorious night for Her Majesty's Theatre. Jenny Lind appeared for the first time as Amina in La Sonnambula. At an early hour in the afternoon there were crowds assembled round the doors of the theatre, and when the doors were opened the crush was terrific. Not only was every place which coad command a view of the stage occupied within ten minutes after the doors were opened, but every place from which it was possible to catch tho sound of a note was the subject of keen contest. The steps leading up to the pit were crowded by ladies before the curtain rose. The Amina of Jenny Lind is perfect ; we have seen Malibran, Grisi, and Persiani in this part, but Jenny Lind is infinitely superior to them all. Far and away from any of her successors stands Malibran, but there was an a pp earance of effort about her version of the character which is entirely absent in the Amina of Jenny Lind. To ren der this character perfectly, is a most difficult task. It requires at once the perfection of refinement and of simplicity. In no character is the ars celare artem more required than in that of Amine, and never has that " grace beyond the reach of art" been snatched, save by Jenny Lind. In the latter scenes, Malibran was triumphant, but in the earlier scenes she was too much of the artiste. We missed the simple country girl, Jenny Lind gave us this to perfection. She was the very Amina of the author, the simple-minded, honest, virtuous country girl ; one in whom it was impossible not to trust. With all former representations of the part, we have felt for Elvino as the victim of circumstances ; with Jenny Lind as the Amina, the spectator feels angry with Elvino for his want of faith. He should have believed against appearances, have loved against hope. It was impossible that she could deceive. But when the girl finds her plighted faith thrown away—that she is not trusted— that circumstances are believed against her—then was her despair heart-rending, yet beautiful—. beautiful from its agonising truth to nature— Every one knows the grand scans of Elvino in the last act, beginning with the "Tutto e sciolto," and increasing in intensity until the climax is reached in the "Ah ! perche non posso odiarti." This has always hitherto been considered as appertaining to Elvino alone, but treated in part as a concert scena to the great detriment of the effect of the opera, as a whole, The by-play of Jenny Lind restored this scene to its proper place as a portion of the opera. Her acting was superb. Never has the mute agony of despair been more pathetically represented, and then the last scene was a perfect triumph. She did not, as her predecessors have done, slur over the sleep-walking scene to reserve her self for the "Ah ! non g'ar ge." Her subdued manner of giving "L' anello mio " was heart-rending as a piece of acting, and as a piece of vocalism was one of the most astonishing efforts ever exhibited. The nightin gale-like notes dying away in the distance, which Jenny Lind, and Jenny Lind alone, can give, here told with marvellous effect. Her manner of giving "Ma ravvivar l'amore Il pianto mio non puo," was exquisitely pathetic, and then when she awakes and finds Elvino restored to her, " Oh ! gioia ! oh ! gioiu The whole audience felt with her. They were relieved from a burden of care and sorrow—justice was done to the injured, and every heart responded with her "Oh gioia." Then came the finale—the capo d'opera, "Ah ! non giange"—the trial scena of every prima donna—and never has this scena been given as it was given by Jenny Lind. She is the prima donna of the world. Surpassingly beautiful was her fioriture, adorning but not overwhelm ing the melody. Original, in the highest sense of the word, as bringing out the true meaning of the composer, was her reading of this celebrated scena —(would that Bellini could have livad to have heard her, he would have acknowledged that the world had at length produced an artiste worthy of interpret ing his highest inspirations) and exquisitely true to nature, powerful from its very simplicity was her acting (if acting that can be called which is nature itself) in this most beautifully pathetic scene. That the applause was rapturous is needless to record. To say that she was encored and called for twice and showered bouquets upon her is also matter of supere rogation; but we have also to record, that which Edmund Kean considered worthy of record as the highest compliment that could be paid to him, was paid to Jenny Lind. "The pit actually rose at me, Sir," said Edmund Kean, and the boxes, pit, arid gallery, rose at Jenny Lind, and amidst the waving of hats and handkerchiefs, and the loud and oft reite rated cheers of an upstanding audience, she retired, after having been twice called before the curtain. We have now heard Jenny Lind in two operas of two perfectly dif fereet schools, and she who is equally great as an interpre ter of the German and the Italian schools of music ; she, who can equally interpret Meyerbeer and Bellini ; she, who is the greatest Alice and the greatest Amina, who has ever appeared, may be truly denominated the Prima Donna of the world. The house was crowded to suffo cation in every part. The Queen, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiniegen, honoured the performances with their pre sr nce. The Royal suite comprised the Countess of Charlemont, lion. Miss Stanley, Lord Waterparke, Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, and Captain Gordon.

A dispatch, of which the following is a copy. was received yesterday by Colonel Wakefield, the principal agent of the New Zealand Company. It will relieve many long-existingalixieties " Wellington, New Zealand, Dec. 21, 1846. " Sir,—The detention of the Ralph Bernal allows me the satisfaction of briefly acquainting you, for the information of the Court of Directors, that the suspense in which the company's claims to land have remained during the whole of the year now drawing to a close, has been terminated by the arrival here of Governor Grey on a visit, the object of which is the assumption by his Excellency of measures for bringing the adjustment of the question to a conclusion. The dis turbed state of the native tribes at the Bay of Islands and in this neighbourhood has, throughout the above period, prevented the Governor from himself personally directing the steps necessary to the attainment of this desirable end. " For the purpose, also, of obviating the inconvenience and difficulties presented, by the great distance between the seat of Government and the company's establishments, to the satisfactory framing and settlement of the Crown grants to the company, the Attorney-General has been directed to meet his Excellency here ; and he may be expected to ar rive in a few days. "The Governor, with a view to the complete subjection of llangiaiata and the disaffected natives under his orders who are posted on the coast near Manawatu, and of the re fractory chiefs at Wanganui, who occasionally disturb the peace of the settlement there, brought with him in the Driver steam-ship a reinforcement of troops. Her Majesty's ship Racehorse was to leave Auckland with an additional force a few days ago, and the frigate Castor is to return to this port from Hobart Town next month. "A detachment of 1.50 men of the .58th Regiment, accom. panied by a small force of artillerymen, with two guns, has been conveyed to Wanganui in her Majesty's ship Calliope, and there posted, with orders to take up a commanding posi. tion, and to build a fort on an eminence commanding and protecting the town of Petre. " These preliminary steps, under the circumstances of the detention of Rauparaha and the two other chiefs, appre hended at Porerua, and of the failure of Rangiaiata to collect a force sufficient to enable him to renew his hostile proceed ings, will now become only precautions against further out break, and, in the opinion of all, facilitate the peaceable ac quisition of the districts immediately required. " I have received since his Excellency's arrival an assur ance from him that he has sanguine hopes of settling, with out delay, th e c l a i ms of the co mpany, by the measures he proposes to ad opt d ur i ng hi s presen t s tay in the south.—l have the honour to be, Sir, &c.

THE SMITHFILD NUlSANCE.—Wednesday, in con sequence of the Smithfield drovers commonly using the streets and thoroughfares of the adjacent parish of St. Se pulchre, Middlesex, to separate the flocks that become inter mixed in their egress from the market, to the great annoy ance of the inhabitants and the serious injury of their trade and property, notices were compelled to be issued warning them that all beasts thus found would for the future be im pounded for the penalties incurred. THE GUN COTTON.—A course of experiment; to test the relative strength of this explosive material with that of the best ordnance gunpowder, has just taken place at the Holyhead Mountain, Anglesea, the Holland slate quarries in Merionethshire, and at the Hon. Colonel Pennant's slate quarries, Penrvhn, and the results show that the saving by the use of gun cotton is at least thirty per cent. ; added to which the great advantage, that the miners. by its means, are enabled to obtain the moat enormous blocks, and this with little or no waste.

PUBLIC GYMNASIUM . W o rkmen are busily en gaged in placing up po l e s and other erections for the per formance of gy mnastic exerc i s es on a similar plan and sca l e a d o pted a tmany of oty b arrac ks, in Victoria Park, on t h e margin of the ornamental waters near the entrance from Bethnal-green. The two cricket grounds, which have now b ee n open for some weeks, are the daily resort of numerous person s for i ll in that game, by whom th e greatest p r opriety is o bser ved. ndulg is Viscount Morpeth, M.P., t o whom the public indebted for these additions to the park, was amongst the visitors last Sund a y . MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The deaths re turned by the metropolitan registrars for the week ending Saturday last were 987 ; the numbers registered in the three previous weeks having been respectively 983, 981, and 981. The unseasonable character of the weather and low ness of the temperature which prevailed, with little varia tion, during that period may in some measure a ccount for the remarkable degree o f uniformity in the mortality shown by the returns. In the corresponding week of the seven preceding years the average number of deaths registered was 849; the present return , after making due all owance for increase of population, may therefore be considered as indi cating a most unsatisfactory state of public health in the London districts. It is gratifying, however, to observe that no increase appears in the mortality from diseases of the zymotic class, which continue below the ordinary spring average. The deaths from typhus and other fevers are not more numerous than usual at this season, and the return furnishes no reason for apprehension that the metropolis has felt the malignant influence of the so•called " Irish fever." Diseases of the lungs and air passages are still more than usually fatal; particularly to persons advanced in life • and the deaths from pne umon i a and bronchitis have increased.' The mean temperature was slightly above that of the pre vious week; but nearly every day was several degrees colder than the same day on an average of twenty-five years. THE HORNS OF A DILEMMA —We cannot see why the s .rne people who uphold Smithfield as " one of our Con stitutional 'Bull-walks,'" should be the opposers of the Sanatory Regulations. Why should they object to the town being " washed," if they approve of the inhabitants being " mangled ?"—Punch. 511 i 4% COURT CIRCULAR.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House. when Major-General Sir John Etuntet clttuntleorn K of .C in .lk a. was appointed a Provisional Member of the FIRE AT THE MACINTOSH WATERPROOF FABRIC MANUFACTORY.—About twenty-five minutes to five o'clock on Sunday morning, the policeman, who was on duty is ' Cambridge-street, discovered a fire proceeding from the lower part of the cellar of Messrs. Macintosh and Co.'s waterproof" fabric works, in that street. Intimation of this fact was c°_,lii veyed by him to the station; and Mr. T. Rose, accompaam` by his father, the whole of the fire brigade, and four engines, was at once proceeded to the works. On arriving there, it ''' found that the India rubber stored in a vault communicating with the cellar was on fire, and that several of the men in the employ of Messrs. Macintosh and Co. had attached a pipe to their own force-pump, and were pouring water on the flames' Two engines were speedily geared and got into Pleb mo d ' after three-quarters of an hour's exertion, the fire was com pletely extinguished, without having extended beyond th! vault. The dams e, ppe, it is suosed, will amount to &hew ' 150/. or 200/. The overflow of the Medlock is said to ha" been the cause of this fire. The water, having forced its way into the lower part of the premises, came into contact with some chemical substance or liquid used in the preparfe lion of the waterproof fabrics, causing ignition, an the 1 flames spread to the India rubber, of which there were severs tons in the vault. The flood in Little Ireland was at this time so great that some of the people who went to as sist la working the engines had to swim across it.—Manchesto Express.
