TT ER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. SEASON 1857. In announcing the arrangements for another season, the Director of her Majesty'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 support which • is extended to other departments of art; and it is to the patronage of the upper classes, who have rallied round the establishment, that the country owes the prosperity of a noble lyrical institution, which no unsupported individual efforts could maintain in a manner worthy of its old renown. In acknowledging the munificent assistance which enabled him 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 was freely and nobly accorded for the sole purpose of insuring the prosperity of the institution, and the counsel which added to • its value was never accompanied by a word to shackle the diszretion or impair the authority of the direction. To this the success of the past season is greatly owing ; and from the generous confidence w_th which the subscribers have renewed their subscriptions for the present year, without awaking 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 en the restoration of the establishment. 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 Maddlo Piccolomini and all the artistes whose talents contributed to the success of last year, not merely f)r these 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 of acknowledged genius with the attraction of New 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 acknowledged on the 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 premising 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 pearance), Mdlo.

A 1) , - Mr. GYE begs most respectfully to announce that the Royal Italian Opera will, during the Season of 1857, be given at the Theatre Royal Lyceum. The opening will take place on TUESDAY, - APRIL 14th. It was the intention this year that the performance of the Opera should take place at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, chiefly with a view to afford accommodation to those large classes of tho musical public who, for so long, have been the constant supporters of the Royal Italian Opera, Covent Gar den, but unforeseen circumstances have prevented this inten tion being fulfilled. Mr. GYE has in consequence again taken the Lyceum Theatre, and while he much regrets the exclu sion of a great portion of the general public from the per formances of the present season, he has at the same time the satisfaction of being able by judicious alterations in the building, to accommodate a very considerable number of the regular Subscribers. It is also a source of gratification to know that an almost universal approval was expressed at the perfection of the per formances at the Lyceum last season, many Subscribers indeed even preferring the smaller theatre on account of the facility in seeing and hearing the entertainments, as well as for the elegance and exclusiveness of the audiences. Mr. GYE trusts, however, that for the Season 1858 he will be able to restore to the Royal Italian Opera a home equal, if not superior, to that of which it has been deprived ; in the meantime he begs most respectfully to entreat the continuance of that warm and generous support which has so long been accorded to him, and without which he would scarcely have had the fortitude to battle with the consequences of the ea:a mity of last year. - It will be seen by the following outline that there has been no relaxation in the endeavour to render the , arrangements of the present season as complete as possible ; that the great artistes are engaged—artistes, whether as sopranos, tenors, baritones, or basses, are as yet without rivals; that the cele brated Orchestra, and its most accomplished Conductor, as well as the Grand Chorus, still form part of the establishment; and, in fact, that an extraordinary combination of talent, such as has procured for the Royal Italian Opera an European reputation, is again assembled. In addition to the Operas performed last season arrange ments.have been entered into with Monsieur Scribe and Mon sieur Auber, the Author and Composer of FRA DIAVOLO, to adapt that beautiful Opera for the Italian Stage, and it will be produced with entirely New Recitatives and additional Poetry and Music, written expressly for the Royal Italian Opera. Herold's Romantic Opera of ZAMPA, With new arrangements and alterations, will be performed for the First Time at the Royal Italian Opera. Cimarosa's IL MATRIMONIO SEGRETO will be revived. Also Mozart's Opera, LE NOZZE DI FIGARO. DON PASQUALE Will be performed for the rentree of Signor LABLACHE. Mercadante's Opera, IL GIURAMENTO Will be performed for the First 'lime at the Royal Italian Opera. Verdi's Opera, LA TRAVIATA, Will be produced early in the season. - The principal charac ters by Signor MARIO, Signor GRAZIANI, AND Madame BOSIO. With such a list of artistes as the following, it need scarcely be said that the castes of these operas must be powerful. The Engagements for the present Season are— Madame GRISI and Madame BOSIO. Madame ROSA DEVRIES, Mademoiselle PifARAI, Madame TAGLIAFICO, Mademoiselle DIDIEE. ALSO Mademoiselle PAREPA, (From the Royal Theatre at Lisbon, her first appearance in England), AND Mademoiselle VICTOIRE BALFE, (Her first appearance on the stage). TENOR'.

The prayers and offerings of Churchmen are solicited in aid of an effort to supply the urgent spiritual wants of a newly popu lated district around. the Victoria Docks. NVithin the last few r.sars the formation of a portion of these Docks and other causes har d added a population of about 4,000 souls to the spiritual charge of the Incumbent of St. Mary's, Plaistow. A new town has been c',Assmenced on a low and marshy tract of ground ad joining the ri ver Thames, totally nadrained, and intersected by stagnant ditches. In a few more years itis probable that this district wilt rival poplar, Shadwell, Ratcliffe, or St. George's in the number and habits of its population. It is proposed at once to send clergymen to labour amongst these newly -congregated masses, and to increase their staff as circum stances may render necessary. Another generation must not be left to repair the neglect of the present. The object of the appeal is not to apply a palliative of an all but hopeless evil, but to find the means of its prevention, to preach Christ's Gospel to every man, woman, and child i n the district, to endeavour to bring all within the fold of oar N ational Church, to instruct them according to her formularies, and to preserve them in the communion of her faith' and Worship. Ragged schools have been tried elsewhere with success. Why not try Ragged Churches in Schoolrooms? We propose, therefore, in the first instance, to have SHORT SERVICES FROSI THE PRAYER Boca in our Schools, adapted to the 'capacities of the untaught poor with lectures on popular subjects, musical and other entertainments. The Lord Bishop of London has given his cordial sanction to the work, and has undertaken, at the earnest solicitation of the promot ers of tae mission, to select the deny, when funds are provided. To aid us in our difficult task special donations are required for the necessary outlay for Missionary Stations, Schools, &c. ; and also regular subscribers, to enable us to support an adequate staff of teachers, clerical and lay, It is intended at an early date to submit the scheme to a general meeting. Further particulars will be given by the Rev. R. W. B. Marsh, Incumbent of St. Mary's, Plaistow ; Antonio Brady, Esq., Mary land Point, Stratford, Essek, Treasurer; or the Rev. Alfred W. Mason, Stratford-green, by whom donations or subscriptions for five years will be thankfully.recdved; or at the Bank of Coutt3 and Co., 59, Strand; or Messrs.

Observe—opposite the York Hotel By her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Racecourse, Opera, and Per spective Glasses. These telescope possess such extraor dinary powers that some three and a-half inches, with an extra eye-piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars. With the same telex cope can be seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant, and an object from 10 to 20 miles. They are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly.—The Royal Exhibition, 1851. Valuable newly-invented , very small, powerful waistcoat-pocket glass, die size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known 1. miles distant ; they answer every purpose on the race-course, and at the opera houses; country seemly, and ships are clearly seen at 8 to 10 miles.

Dumas is writing in the:Paris Pre,sse an account of our Englir,h elections—rather arnuFiug, from the style of p - lmpops penny-a-liningin which he describes every- - thing. He was astonished at the silence and order of the crowd before Guildhall. "That is on account o f their pew law of bribery," says he, " for it is not even any longer silo wed- to make the electors drunk." They now must be worked upon exclusively by el)quence, which, ho says, is not a much less laborious proce,. As the City election did not provide bim with enough of extraordipary incident, he went afterwards to the South wark hustings, where he Faw the several candidates, whom he describes as he would the' characters of a novel • Already from a distance we heard something like the roiling of thunder, which became the more majestic the more we advanced: Indeed, through the windows of our carriage we saw the street filled with some three or four thousand per sons. These persons it was, these artisans, these gentian* as they were called by the candidates, who produced the not-e, shouting with all the power of their lungs. We were obliged to stop at some distance from the hustings, a large construction of timber. We therefore stopped and alighted, and, our hands in our pockets— as some figures among this honourable society inspired us with but little confidence—we penetrated at last to the - - - Arrived up stairs, Mr. Corner passed his card to Dr. Chadic's. Dr, Challice, member of the committee of Mr. Locke, came to us, and very courteously took me by the hand, and loudly calling out my name, he led me to the re served part, where he presented me to the three candi dates, who, in the midst of their occupations, still found time to shake hands with me, and to pay me their com pliments. The Admiral Napier added that he paid me his corn= pliments with all the more pleasure as I had been his companion on some of his expeditions. Which was all the more kind on his part, as I had no vote to Rive to him. Mr. PeHal is a man of from 45 to 50, meagre, small nervous head, beard and eyes—everything dark. He was seated, and took breath. The Admiral Napier is an old man, of from 65 to 70, fat, short, of ro b us t b u ild, w ith grey hair and black eyes, and hairs all over the face ; Scotch head and Scotch dialect. Mr, Locke is a man of 48, the face covered with pock holes, vigorous, broad chest, made for the struggles of the bar, and ready for the much more exhausting struggles of the tribune, for, to all probability, Mr. Locke will be elected. Mr: Locke is the advocate of the City. We had but just arrived, when the audience was judged sufficiently large, and Mr. Pellatt was called upon to show himself, He advanced towards the railing of the hustings. I would feel sorry at rendering myself disagreeable to a gent!ernan who so cordially and an. warmly shook hands with me, but I - owe it to truth to say that his apparition vora9 greeted by groans, which were far from flattering. The crowd seemed to owe a grudge to Mr. Pellatt for having voted against the Chinese war, and reminded him of the affairs of the British Dank, which must not be confounded with the Bank of England. He intended to speak, but the thunder of Heaven would have struggled in vain against the human thunder from belqw. Among the cries that were hurled against him T. could distinguish this—" You'll be smashed tie* Wednesday, old feillw I Indeed, next Wednesday, the affair of the bank of Mr. Pellatt wi I come before the Court of Bankruptcy. Not le , =s than ten times Mr. Pellatt attempted to speak♦ Each time the Pound of his voice was rendered inaudible by the cries of the gentlemen in the street. Mr. Pellatt, unable to speak, and having exhausted three quartsrs of his power, made use of the remaining quarter, and turning his back on the ungrateful public, he addressed himself to the shorthand writers, to whom he explained the reasons of the vote which rendered him unpopular, and his moral pcsitiou in relation to the Briti.h Bank. He spoke nearly a quarter of an hour, during which time the grans from outside were never interrupted. When his speech to the shorthand writers was finished Admiral Napier advanced. His reception was just as favourable as that of Mr. Pellatt had been hostile. Hurrahs went bed); the hats were thrown into the air, the arms described_ circler, which in England sigtrofth , i greatest sympathy. Though in plain clothes, the Admiral was covered with decors Cons. After some seconds bad been spent in =lunation!), silence was restored, and the Admiral began a speech, which lasted nearly half an hour. He began by raising a complaint against his printer. This is what he had to complain of : The Admiral had ordered of his printer 12,000 to 15,000 cards, and the printer had undertaken for the price of 201, not merely to print, but also to distribute them to the houses. Unfortunately for the worthy Admiral, his printer was, at the same time, that of Mr. Pellatt. He distributed the cards of both together, so that it appeared as if the two enemies had formed a coalition. Mr. Pe,llatt, who was in danger of being drowned, did, in fact, lay hold of the Admiral. The result might haie been that Mr. PeHatt—with out being saved by the Admiral saving him—might have drawn the Admiral after him, and drowned him too. Happily the worthy Admiral had, in turn, became aware of the trick. He went in haste to the printer, took away.those of his cards which had not yet been sent away, ordered others, and then provided for a se parate distribution. The only drawback was, that the rectification had cost him 40&, which, together with the 201. first paid down, funned a typographical expense of 601. This part of his speech was listened to with expres sions of hiar;ty, which proved that merry England is sail la joyeuse Angleterre. The rest of his speech was devoted to his behaviour in Parliament. The whole was received with hurrahs of approbation. There is no doubt that the Admiral will be elected. Now came Mr. Locke's turn. He advanced to the railings. But though there were, perhaps, a thousand of his adherents among the crowd, as shown by the cards stuck on their hats, with the words "For Locke," the noire was even much greater than that which Mr, Pellatt's appearance produced. The reason wag, that in Mr. Pellatt's case there Was unanimity, while in that of Mr. Locke there was a struggle of contending factions. _ _ Mr. Pellatt hecanie radiant with satisfaction, and rubbed his hands. He tou?,hed mo with his elbow--" Lit bien ? " said he to me. "Fit bien ?" said Tto him. He made his friends groin at me—he said--I will make mine whistle at Bit Mr. Locke's chest was of different make from that of Mr. Pe!latt. Refusing to speak to the short-hand writers, he con tinued speaking to the crowd. Instead of a thunder coining from below, it was a thunder coming from above. Like A ndromache, when she encouraged Hector down from the walls of Troy, Mrs. Locke encouraged her hus band down from a balcony. From what I could understand of Mr. Locke's very advanced speech—more advanced even in a religion, than in a political sense—he indicated to the gentlemen who listened to him what would be his conduct in Par liament. Ile clock struck threß. I must send you my first letter immediately. I have no titne to lest). I ran down to the Thames ; I took a steamer, which, together wit!. 30 or 40 others, plies on the river, and at hall-past three I was at my hotel. A. DUMAS.

TOTAL. DESTRUCTION OF - DARByB - FACTORY, LAMBEIIt. Yesterday (Wednesday) morning at an early hour a fire, attended wite a serious loss of property,- ; aud almost with fatal results to three persons, happened in the premises belonging to Mr. M. Darby, firework maker to the Queen and many public gardens, carrying on businese at No. 98, Regent-street, Lambeth-walk. The premises in which the misfortune commenced were four floors high, including the basement—the lower rooms being well etocked with pyrotechnic devices, whilst the upper parts of the house were occupied as sleeping monis for the accommodation of three parties who were left in charge of the building of a night. On Tuesday night t of Mr. Darby's'adris went to bed in one of the top rooms, and a -ferna!e., spant named Broad retired to rest in a ro im on the same floor. Shortly -after one o'clock yesterday morning, a Felice man of the L division, whilst standing opposite the pre mises, had his attention directed to th e kit c h en or base ment floor by hearing an unusual noise proceeding from that part of the house. The constable immediately crossed the road to see what bad occurred, he at first thinking that thieves had entered the place. He had, however, scarcely time enough to get to the railings in front of the building, than he became aware of the dire ful nature of the accident, for several gross of small fire works, such ae squibs, Catherine wheels, roman candles, and rockets, exploded, making a noise like the discharge of many fire-arias, At the same time sheets of flame of various colours shot forth from the windows, and could be seen travelling up the staircase towards the rooms in which 'Mr. Darby's sons and - the servant were sleeping. The officer inimediately•sprang his tattle, and called cut "Fire," but some few minutes elapsed before ho could make the eciMpants sensible of their impending danger, and not until the flames had taken complete possession of the staircase, th reby cutting off al means of retreat is that quarter. The three persons having gained one of the froni, windows, they begged of the iiarties in the street to run off and fetch the Royal Society's fire-escape, bat whilst this was being done, a ladder was brought, raised in front of the house, and the lives of the three in dividuals were happilY saved, the escape arriving within a few minutes after the persons had been rescued. The necessary intelligence having been sent to the va rious engine -houses with all possible expedition, the large engine belonging to Messrs. Hodges' distillery, that of the parish, and several of .the London brigade, West of England Insurance Company, and others attended. The firemen then found the flames issuing from every, window in front of the building, and at frequent intervals loud explosions ensued. Fortunately, the fire-plugs of the Lambeth and Southwark Water Companies yielded a plentiful supply of the opposing element ; and the fire men, taking advantage of that fact, bad their engines set in operation, when the men went to work in an in trepid manner, and, by taking the hose into the front windows, they were enabled to scatter continuous streams of water upon the conflagration, a work of no little risk, owing to the' frequent ex?losions of rockets and otherfireworks. The men, however, nothing daunted by the danger they were exposed to, kept to their posts, and eventually had .the satisfaction of seeing the fire palpably diminish beneath the weight of water thrown upon it. This, however, could not be accomplished until the destructive element bad taken a complete sweep through every room in the building, consuming in its progress the whole of the manufactured stock in trade, the prepared, composition, and the costly furniture, wearing apparel, Zee. Fortunately the gunpowder was kept in a; magazine away frond, the house, and the fire not being able to reach it prevented a far inure serious explosion than any that had occurred upon the ignition of the fireworks previously alluded to. Thu loss is very considerable, and it is to be regretted that Mr. Darby was not insured fer either stock in trade, furniture, or the buildiog. The came premises have suffered in a similar manner on-one or two previous occasions. The , police Of the L division mustered in strong force,, under Inspector' Harmsworth and Byron, and kept a great crowd of idlers and others out of the reach of danger. As to the origin of the catastrophe not the least infor mation could be obtained. Mr. Braid wood, in his official report, describes the damage done as follows :—" An eight-roomed house and contents destroyed." LAST WEEK. pEA.CE CONFERENCE.---: Messrs.

The Royal ;Mail Company's steamer iri.ato had arrived out at St. - Thomas, and left for Jamaica on the 18th inst. at 8 a.m. The Trent was at Cartha gena, with her intermediate shaft broken. (Chin accounts for the rron:-atriva,l of the Trent, witlr the ' 'Spanish Main mails, at St. Thomas, prior to the last homeward steamer, . the Parana, leaving for Southampton.) The Clyde - was at St. Thompe, for the Spanish Main. The Eagle left Jamaica, on the 10th of March for Honduras. The Conway was at Barbadoes ; the Dee on the Spanish Main route • the Wye and Derwent at St. Thomas ; an d the Solent on the Gulf route. • At Greytown were her Majesty's ships Coss ac k , Archer, Victor, Intrepid, and Pioneer. At Barbadoes, her Majesty's ship Brilliant ; and the Tartar was en route for Jamaica. At Jamaica, her Majesty's ships Imaum, Terma gant, and Mariner. • At Greytown, the United States' corvette Sara toga, and the yane at Colon. The news from Jamaica extends to the 13th inst. 'the day on which the steamer left. Matters were at the time exceedingly dull in a commercial point of view, but the sugar crops for :the ensuing year presented a very cheerful aspect, and gave every indication of yielding good re' urns to those engaged in the cultivation of that product. The island was very healthy, and tranquillity prevailed everywhere. At Demerara the. cholera was abating ; in the city it had nearly disappeared, but still existed .with a degree of virulence in some of. the country ,vil lages. This was nothing more. than might natur ally be expected, the villages being all undrained. Trade had been very dull among the merchants during the fortnight, owing.chiefly to the epidemic. Freights 'were scarce--to London, sugar 25., and • rum 3d. ; to Liverpool, sugar 2s. 6d., and rum Coffee at Barbadoes was in abundant supply, and selling at $l2 per 1001 b. Cocoa, $l2 50e. per 100 lb. At Grenada the labours of the Legislative session bad termivatmli in two days, during which brief period the annual Money Bill, initiated this year by the Executive Council, was passed in a house composed of a majority of Executive Councillors, as the originators and supporters of the measure, and forwarded to head-quarters. Agricultural prospects were bright and promising. • The weather had been rather wet for sugar makig. Captain Raasloff had addressed a public meeting in the Government Council-room at Trinidad, on. the 6th of March, in exp'anation of the propo , :ei subtimaiue telegraph scheme letween the West India colonies, South America, and Europe. It was resolved, " Teat the meeting approved the proposed telegraph, and would like the Government to take the matter under its favourable consideration, and to accept the terms offered." '1 he weather at St. Lucia had been unfavourable for manufacturing purposes, and retarded the ripen ing of the canes. —At weather had changed from wet to • dry. The crop would hardly be begun until the close of March. Sugar-making was proceeding briskly at Marti nique, and the price of the article had risen in the island up to 30s. and 325. 6d. sterling per cwt. In Guadaloupe sugar was selling at the rate of about 28s. to 325. per cwt. for common qualifies ; rum, proof 24, at 681 . . per hectolitre (about 2s. per gallon) ; coffee, 2f. per kilometre ; there was no cocoa, cotton, or logwood. • We have received, per La Plata, files of the Panama Star and Herald to the 10th of March, but those papers give no Pacific news, the steamer not having arrived at Panama up to that date. From California we have news to the 20th of February. In the interior the snow was melting, trails opening, and the prospects of the miners daily becoming more cheering. A resolution to impeach G. W. Whitman, Controller of State, for malfeasance in office passed the Assembly on the 14th by a vote of 55 to 15. Companies were being formed in the interior to join Walker at Nicaragua. Articles of impeachment had been presented against the State Treasurer, Dr. Bate but the day before they were presented he sent in his resignation, and James L. English, formerly Mayor of Sacramento, was appointed in his stead ; no clue had been obtained to the $124,000. Two distinct shocks of an earthquake were felt in San Francisco about 7 p.m. on the sth, which 'caused much consternation, but no damage was done. Dates from Oregon were to the 11th of February ; the snow had disappeared, and been succeeded by heavy rains. The Indians had been making an , outbreak near Fort Sincce. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. Yesterday a number of scientific gentlemen, physicians, &c., were invited to the Polytechnic Institution, to witness ho results of the improved system of ferrneutingand making pure bread, as practised by Mr. C. Stevens, at his bakery in the Cambridge road, near the Eastern Counties Railway station. Mr. Pepper undertook to explain the chemistry ,f bread-making, and to show the different stages of the process as conducted by Mr. Stevens, and by the London bakers. He pointed out, in the first place, the chemical con -tituents of flour and of 'Dread. Good unadulterated bread contains the large proportion of 78 parts of water in every 100, so that even when bread is pure it does not contain more than 22 parts of nutritive matter, and the adulterated article frequently contains very much less. There are different modes of adulteration commonly practised, some of which have for their object to improve the appearance of the broad when it is made with coarse or with mixed flour ; and other modes of adultera tion increase the quantity, by causing a larger ab sorption of water. Mr. Pepper alluded to the plan of broad-making which was introduced into this country, a few years ago, by some French chemists, who professed to be able to make a much larger quantity of bread for a given weight of flour than had been before done. Their plan was spauetk of n o fi p e e n r r a i t o h n s y a t madeM a ry d l e e b n o b n l e e Workhouse, iweight e f w br e e where, from The process was conducted secretly ; but Mr. Pepper, who was requested by the vorkhouse authorities to analyse the bread, discovered that the effect was produced by the ad dition of boiled rice and a small quantity of alum. By this means v rh t a h a td e e r d s uo and,ue e g e d a b e c y, n u i ne n making at g kh r e en a gis t la even ieenn agents,cra e l a a s r e g d em p r o pr w r. oepr Pep pero or t f a i b o s n oera o b f idi bread from a given weight of flour than the French chemists. Bread of that kind is not unwholesome, but as it contains a smaller proportion of nutriment, it is unfair to sell it as wheaten bread. The proportion of rice which Hr. Pepper employed was 161 b. to 41b. of flour. Mr. Stevens, for the purpose of showing the effect of rice when thus introduced, had brought to the institution a large pile of loaves, which he had made from 141 b. of flour, with the addition of rice. It presented the ap pearance of very good bread, and was well tasted, and it possessed the property also of not becoming so dry as ordinary bread. Mr. Pepper then noticed the more objectionable adulterations to which some bakers have re course, even to the introduction of sulphate of copper, a few grains of which in a sack of flou r p ro d uces grea t effect in the working of the dough, and in the appearance of the bread. The common process of bread making, as adopted by bakers in general, was then noticed, and samples of the yeast and of the dough in its various stages were placed on the lecture table for illustration, together with a number of leaves that had been purchased from cheap bakers, to contrast with the pure bread made by Mr. Stevens. The process adopted by the latter was then described, and illus trated in the same manner by a variety of samples. The chief difference between Mr. Stevens' system of fermenting the dough and that of other bakers consists in a previous mixture of the yeast into a thin batter with flour and water. The yeast he uses is obtained from pale ale brew eries, and the mixture of it with the flour is allowed to fer mentye yeasta more diffused an d e ff ective, and. for 24 hours.

The taste of the bread was enoug h to prove its purity, and was, for practical purposes, ~ etter evidence of its excellence, than the microscopical tests to which it was subjected by Dr. Hassell. Diagrams ,f the appearance of flour and its adulterations, as magni led by a powerful microscope, as taken by Dr. Hassell, were exhibited, and there were also shown numerous spe cimens of meal and flour in different stages of progress. The lecture formed altogether a very interesting exposition of the subject of bread-making and its adulterat.ons.
