----,,, RE• ,_ qeginzen A Produced Iny Lind' Mari. mi._ acted beautifully, and F. Lablache, as the Sergeant, gave Us more than once, both in his singing and in his acting a touch of the quality of his mighty sire. At the con clusion of: the opera the Natio na l A nt h em was sung (in honour of the Queen's birthday) by the whole corps operatique, Jenny Lind, Castellan, and Lablache taking part in it. The appearance of the house at this mo ment was superb. Not only was every box filled, ex cept the royal box (her Majesty and Prince Albert, who were present during the whole of the opera, and who were enthuisastic in their applause of Jenny Lind, left at its conclusion, without wait ing for the National Anthem), but there was not a place ill which i t was in stalls, pi t , or ga ll ery , not a nook or corner, possible for a hum a n b e i ng to b e w i th i n sight or heating of the stage unoccupied. It was a per fect realisation of the vision of Victor Hugo of a theatre os:erf lilogwiht.ng with music, with a ppl ause , w i th b eauty, and with ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN. A rich tre a t was afforded last night at this 'theatre. Il Don Giovanni, the chef d'auvre of Mozart, was presented in a manner worthy of the great master. The cast was, indeed, one of unprecedented strength. It was not simply that some of the parts were admirably filled, but every link in the chain was complete in itself; there was no failure in any part; every conception of the lilted Composer was fully interpreted, and clearly ex- Pressed. There is, perhaps, no opera that demands s : , Powerful a corps musicale to bring it properly forward-- here is no portion of the music that can properly be entrusted to a second-rate performer. Hence, although - there is no other production which possesses so great a Popularity, which attracts such overflowing houses, and which so entirely enthrals the admiring audience, it is not so often produced as the wishes of the public, • and the interests of the managers, would seem tilt demand. There is no class to whom its exquisite lind thrilling beauties do not come home. The finished areateur, the scientific mu s i c i an i s i mpressed with the 'wonderful skill of the inspired author. He may test it 'by the most stringent rules, and can find nothing at which to cavil or object. It sets all criticism at defiance. The most querulous and captious railer can suggest no improvement, while at the same time its simple and touching melody goes to the heart of even the most ignorant. It requires no knowledge of the art to feel and appreciate its beauties. None but those wholly in sensible to the concord of sweet sounds could remain in different. As long as music is cultivated, so long will it Main its popularity. We confess that we find it difficult to select a point from whence to commence our notice of the performance. atisi and Persiani, each in one of her most,. perfect characters, renders it a matter of no trifling difficulty to say w ith w hi c h we s h a ll open. It would ‘ltilost seem as if each character had been expressly Writte n for those brilliant artistes, to draw forth their Pacriliar graces. We always felt as if we a d m i re d most Whichever of the two we last heard, until some new 'effusion of the other's genius changed our sentiment. Won shall, theref o r e , t a k e t h ose i ncompara bl e prima nas in the order in which they appeared. We have nto ever heard Grisi in better voice ; and it is hard Msay whether her acting or singing was most to be ured;—h er res i stance to the licentious nobleman, de rmined to retain her hold until she had brought her 11sulter to deserved punishment--her horror, when she l!lnds that her father has fallen a victim to his efforts to eoti liter 7octhis child—the agony at his d ea th, m i ng l e d w i t h Feeling of v engeance aga i nst h i s assassin, ,vcake ?,_e .j.een i n h er b ea t sty l e ; and the exquisite duet 's ,filariot guggi crudele fuggi," at the end of the fond scene, elicited the most enthusiastic applause. idle recitative i n th e e i g h t h scene, when describing to her river the attempt on her honour, and its fatal result, and Ler discovery of the murderer, when she bursts into the a "Or Sai chi l'onore" were powerful indeed, and de -44.---rvedly obtained a most rapturous encore ; while in eir u" Non m i di r ," wh i ch, for a long period, had been tted, for what reason we k now not, she again received heartfelt homage of the audience.

Her g r ace, °fte itY4 and extraordinary executiou give full 21 . a .pression t o t h e part.

The other parts, too, were, as Xl 3 . a ready stated, all well filled—while Fanny •u'r as the cavalier, and Dumilatre as the lady of the en thee, twice gave the minuet with the most perfect 8 , in the ball scone. After the opera the National " n tbern was given by the whole strength of the company, LAO solos being sung by Mesdames Persiani and Grisi. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—THURSDAY.

A meeting of the electors of Lambeth was held last night at the Horns, Kennington, to take the conduct of Mr. Hawes, M.P., into consideration. Mr. Bigg in the chair. Mr. L L. STEVENS read letters from Mr. Hawes, M.P., and Mr. D'Eyncourt, M.P., stating that they could not attend any meeting on so short a notice, and especially on Thursday night, as they were necessarily engaged otherwise, and because the notice calling the meeting was signed by nobody. But they would be happy on any occasion, after due notice, to attend any meeting of the electors duly and respectably called. Mr. Stevens then read, amidst much confusion, a letter from some of the electors calling upon Mr. D. W. Harvey to become a candidate for the borough, and was proceeding to read Mr. Harvey's answer, but the noise and clamour of parties calling out " Question," and " Authority for writing," were so great, that The Rev. JOHN BURNET rose to beg the meeting would permit the proceedings to advance quietly, as be came a deliberative assembly. Without resuming his seat he proceeded to move, " That Benjamin Hawes, Esq., having recently voted against the entire repeal of the corn-laws, the extension of the suffrage, and the rate paying clauses of the Reform Act, and in favour of cor poral punishment in the army, the vote to Maynooth, and the Government plan of education ; and having ac cepted office as a minister without consulting with his constituents, had forfeited the support of the electors." He was opposed to votes from Government for objects for which Government was not instituted. He did not object to another receiving that which he would take himself. He would refuse a pension for himself, for his schoolmaster, or for his brethren in the ministry.—(Con fusion.) He did not object because the vote named went to the Catholics. Ho would not have the Independents endowed ; he did not wish that he should get the money of the Catholics, and why should they come and put their hands into his pocket ? It was for the indepen dence of England that this should be the doctrine and the practice of her Government and her people. He trusted the meeting would desist from noise, and delibe • rate on the resolution calmly. Mr. FULLER, an elector, seconded the resolution. He considered that Mr. Hawes had pledged himself to vote for the entire and immediate repeal of the corn-laws. He bad done so at a meeting held on a former occasion in that room, but when Mr. Villiers's motion was intro• duced, and when the House divided he went into the lobby with the Government. Mr. Hawes had continu ally professed to be the friend of civil and religious liberty. But how did he act on the occasion of Mr. Duncombe's motion for the repeal of the rate-paying clauses ? He was in the House on that occasion, he was in the Conservative gallery, and would have sneaked out, but Lord John Russell wanted his vote, and he had time to get round to the door of the House to vote with the 58 majority who threw out that liberal measure. He might go through many other votes by which Mr. Hawes showed himself opposed to many of the principles to which he had pledged himself, and acted like a lackey of Lord John Russell. The CHAIRMAN then read the resolution, and said he would be glad to hear any of the supporters of Mr. Hawes in reply. Mr. GRADY came forward, and said he felt so confi dent of the high merit and consistent conduct of their Member, that he only wished an epportunity to be heard. He said he disliked the intolerant bigotry of the resolution, and he would not be turned from the real question before the meeting by it. He then read an amendment, to the effect that the long and consistent services of their Member, Mr. Hawes, for the last 14 years in favour of the interests of the borough and the country were such, that certain questions, imprudently urged forward upon the new Ministry on the eve of a general election, would not induce them to withdraw their votes. He said that much had been said of the vote to Maynooth. Was it not right? Did his Rev. Friend have any religion in his heart and not wish to propagate religion? But could they do so without educating the clergy? The Catholics, however, were too poor, and had they no right to receive back that which had been taken from them? He trusted to hear no more of that. But why speak of the corn-laws— were they not ended?—(Laughter.) And the franchise odo h n a e ; h andit d was ended too, for Lord John Russell was about to bring db w ?i h de a nt t h ewasn s in gledotht e ofeue p tl position i t t b i a o en n a rh ofopna honour ri r n . ni W str h a a l isT t l in a Bill which would clear the franchise entirely. But to alinaAw the msel ve s , edsmi fur ther honour to return him?—(Noise, and He had been driven into a corner by ' a question no.) impru dently put forward on the eve of an election, d • which Lord John Russell had been so imprudent as 'on ask him to vote.—(Laughter and noise.) He hoped they would support the amendment. Mr. Mill) seconded the amendment. He thoughrthey were dealing hard by Mr. Hawes to condemn him for three votes, one of which had been misstated. He had voted against the income-tax; he had voted for Mr. Duncombe's resolution freeing all trades from the impo sition of the tax; for Mr. Villiers' motion against the corn-laws in 1841, 1842, 1843, 1844, and 1845; for Mr. Ward's motion in 1842, 1843, and 1845, for an inquiry into the burdens of land; for Cobden's motion for an inquiry into the effects of the protective system; for Lord J. Russell's motion for the reduction of the duty on sugar; for Sir John Easthope's Bill for the abolition of church-rates; for Ward's motion on the Irish Church; for the Maynooth grant; and against Mr. Roebuck's motion for a purely intellectual system of education, telling the country that he would vote for no education not based upon religion. But the fact was, the present movement was one suggested by Diventers, and with a view to strike, not at political dereliction, but at the advance of the Church of England. Mr. MACLEOD and Mr. BROWN afterwards addressed the meeting. Mr. Fail objected to the way in which the meeting had been called. It had been called by nobody knew whom, and on a night when they were well aware Mr. Hawes himself could not attend. The Rev. J. BURNET replied. The CHAIRMAN then put the amendment to the meeting, and declared it to be negatived by a large majority. Mr. THOMAS HARVEY then moved, as an amendment to the original resolution, that this meeting be adjourned for a week, that the Members might have an opportunity of being present. The CHAIRMAN put the amendment, and declared it negatived. The original resolution was then put and carried, not more than some ten hands in a very crowded meeting being held up against it. The Rev. Mr. MIRAMS then moved—" That this meeting, not satisfied with the attendance of Mr. D'Eyn court on his Parlianientary duties, and as he had refused with Mr. Hawes to attend this meeting, disapproved of that course, and his probable coalition with his colleague, Mr. Hawes, in future." Some, he said, called that a hole-and-corner meeting; but it was one which Mr. Hawes feared, and of which his friends were apprehen sive, for they had sent circulars to 300 persons requesting them to attend, and bad canvassed in the counting houses of the electors. Mr. THWAITES seconded the resolution. Mr. DRUMMOND, in answer, defended Mr. D'Eyncourt, as a gentleman who had in every instance striven to reduce the borough rates. It was discovered at this point that Mr. T. Harvey was not an elector in the borough, and his amendment was declared irregular. Mr. DRUMMOND therefore moved the adjournment of the meeting for a fortnight. It was seconded, and on being put to the meeting, was negatived. The resolution was then passed unanimously. Mr. ELLINGTON said, as an elector and a former friend of Mr. Hawes, he was sorry to tell them, as he had told that gentleman, that he did not think he any longer de served their votes. He hoped they would now put them selves in a better position. He had a gentleman to propose for their suffrages—a gentleman into whose character he had inquired, and found it all that the meeting could desire in a representative. He moved— " That D. W. Harvey, Esq., be invited to become a can didate for the borough of Lambeth." Mr. FULLER seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN said the committee who had instituted the present proceedings deemed it proper to write to Mr. Harvey, and the answer might now be read to the meet ing if it was desired. Mr. STEVENS then read a letter from Mr. Harvey, stating that though a clause had been inserted in the Metropolitan Police Bill for his exclusion from Parlia ment, he would, when it was clear that the electors of La!nbeth would return him to Parliament, that moment resign his situation in the Police Commission. His prin ciples were unchanged, and he would, when it was under stood that the electors disapproved of their present can didates, be happy to meet them. A gentleman on the platform announced that George Thompson, Esq., had resigned his intention of corning forward The r e a s s e l a u e t i a e u n d i w d l i ts t e t h fo e r n t p h e u t o a r e o d u g d h e e . lared carried by was large aAs vote the majo n ocfar ri trhi t e . a 3. d - e,kas ntdo t t h h e e m C e h e a t i i r e m g r h fo i e r hh had s a i d m h p e a e r n t i a v l e i r t y y noisy throughout, terminated.

THE CONDE DE MONTEMOLIN AT PORTSMOUTH. —On Wednesday the Conde de Montemolin, accom panied by Colonel Campbell and his personal suite, came into Portsmouth from Northend, soon after breakfast, and were joined by the Lieutenant Governor Lord Frederick Fitzclarence and staff, at Colwest Barracks, and were received by the 42d Highl an d ers, drawn , out in the barrack-square, in their national costume. His Royal Highness expressed himself highly delighted with their appearance, and minutely inspected them drawn up in line. The Commander in-Chief having again placed the barge of the Victory at the disposition of the Conde, he and his suite and Colonel Campbell, accom panied as they were yesterday, by Captain Pasco, of that ship, embarked at the Victoria Pier, and proceeded to the Royal Clarence Victualling Establishment. On landing at the steps the Conde was received by the Captain Superintendent, Sir Ed ward Parry, and the principal officers, and the party were conducted over the mill and baker), and minutely inspected the process of grinding wheat, dressing the flour, and baking the bis cuit. At one P.M. the party returned to the George Hotel, and at three o'clock the 43d Light Infantry, under Colonel Furlong, were marched out on Soutbsea Com mon, and the Conde de Niontemulin and Lord Fitz • clarence and staff, on horn back, and the suite on foot, proceeded to inspect this fine corps, who received the Conde and General on the ground with a general salute. The regiment afterwards marched past in slow, quick, and double quick time, and then went through a variety of light infantry manoeuvres, with which the Prince ap peared highly delighted, and expressed himself asto nished at the apparent discipline and organisation of the regiment. The Commander-in-Chief gave the Prince and suite an invitation to his grand dinner and bal l . f or t t o he ra Q tu u r e , e i Queen's birthday, b L ir o t i t i daz, b j b , u t t h :•h h i a e l h ip f a r s o t m fi f v fi e s rheatin.gtroaibnhf he was obliged to declin , .. DEATH Or JouN BLANE.—Died at Kilmarneck, on the 13th instant, Mr. John Blanc, formerly coach driver, in the 85th year of his ego. By the demise of Mr. Blane another of those links which connect the poet Burns with the present generation is removed. During the period Burns held the farm of Moesgiel deceased was in his service, and, we believe, firAt acted his gadsman, and afterwards " essayed the handing of the plough" on the ground made memorable by the turning up, by the ruthless ploughshare, of the mouse's nest, and of the " wee modest crimson-tipped flower." Deceased frequently accompanied Burns in his visits to the " Mauchline Belles;" and several anecdotes regarding the great bard have, it is feared, been lost for want of a chronicler. With one exception, there is now none in Kilmarnock who were personally acquainted with Burns. —Glasgow Constitutional. , .. FOREIGN SUPPLIES.—The arrivals of grain, cattle, and provisions, at the cammencement of the week, from, the continent, were consgesable. Every privilege that it is possible to concede, in order to land their pro vision from the importing vessels, and bring them into consumption without the least delay, is granted by the revenue authorities. As yesterday was a general holi day, and business was suspended, especial permission. was, at the request of t he p arties interested and con cerned, granted for the req uisite atten dance of a portion of the officers of the revenue, in order to prevent incon venience and facilitate the admission of these articles of food.
