REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS [LATHE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY COMPANY, By the PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE of MANAGEMENT. ARE -SURVEY of this Railway having now been com pleted by Mr. Locke, and several new features having recently presented themselves in connexion with the project, your Committee deem the present to be a fitting opportunity for addressing you on the position and prospects of the undertaking. This course is, more over, desirable, in consequence of the Company having been organised in the .early part of _the year, and of an in terval of comparative inaction lusting necessarily inter vened between the completion of the subscription and the preparations for applying to Parliament. It is not necessary to inform you that the selection of the Caledonian Line was based upon the decided prefer ence given to it by the Government Commissioners above all other routes of Railway communication proposed for connecting England and Scotland ; but it is desirable to advert, very briefly,, to the nature of the Line to which that preference was given, with a view to a proper under standing and due appreciation of circumstances which have been developed since the Commissioners' Report was made, and since the Prospectus of the undertaking was published. The Line preferred by the Commissioners, as combining the greatest number of advantages in respect of " the distances and gradients, the probable cost of construction and working, the numerical and commercial importance of the population to be accommodated, and the relative traffic and other statistical properties, ' consisted of a Trunk Railway, extending from Carlisle to a point about seventy miles northward, and diverging from that point to Edinburgh on the east, and Glasgow on the west. That was the proposition submitted to the Commissioners, and adopted by them " as being the general route which would fulfil the greater number of requisites in the railway com munication under consideration." All the information which your committee have been able to collect has confirmed the soundness of the opinion pronounced by those impartial judges. It is an important fact, that more than seven-eights of the whole population of Scotland are to be found to the north of the proposed point of divergence to Edinburgh and Glasgow, compre= bending very nearly the whole of the manufacturing classes of that kingdom. Such being the c ase, it scarcely admits of dispute, that the shortest practicable route to the seat of such a population must afford the greatest accommo dation to the greatest numbers. To divert that route from the direct line, for the purpose of benefitting a rem nant of population, would be to sacrifice the interests of the public at large to considerations of a comparatively trivial description. The Caledonian Line possesses the advantages of affording accommodation by the ,shortest route, and at the cost of one trunk line, to , very nearly the whole of the population of Scotland. Such was the plan recommended by the Government Commissioners and adopted by the Caledonian Railway Company ; and, considering the importance, in every point of view, of the districts immediately connected with the Northern Termini of Edinburgh and Glasgow, it was not surprising that the traffic of the Line should show a return of 8 per cent. as anticipated in the pro spectus. The public responded to those anticipations, and a short period sufficed to fill up the required sub scription, upon which a deposit of ten per cent. was im mediately paid. The original Provisional Directors thereupon concluded their exertions; and the committee who have now the honour of addressing you were ap pointed by the Subscribers' Agreement, and have the satisfaction of bringing under your notice the following circumstances of importance to this undertaking, which have arisen or been developed since the prospectus was issued : First : The Act for the formation of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway has received the sanction of the Legisla ture, and that Line is already in course of being con structed. Soconlly : A company has been organized for the es tablishment of a Railway, called the " Scottish Central," leading from Perth to Sterling, and thence, southward, to Castlecary, where it into be connected with the Cgledo nian Line, by a short extension of the latter. The whole capital require,' for the Scottish Central Railway has been subscribed ; and a deposit of ten per cent. has been paid thereon. It would be difficult to exaggerate the im portance of this new feature in the undertaking. It forms a third Terminus to the Caledonian Railway no less important than the connexions with Edinburgh and Glasgow ; and Mr. Locke has stated, that, in consequence of saving on other parts of the Line, the Castlecary Extension of the Caledonian Line can be constructed without exceeding the capital upon which the prospectus proceeded. This connexion will secure to the Caledo nian the traffic between the northern parts of Scotland, (including the important towns of Stirling, Perth, Dun dee, and Aberdeen,) and the western and southern parts of England. Thirdly : by the extension of the Caledonian Line to Castlecary a junction will be effected at that place with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, by which the towns of Falkirk, Linlithgow, Kirkintilloch, and others will be brought into direct communication with the Caledonian, manifestly to the advantage of both undertakings. Fourthly : By the prospectus it was contemplated that the Caledonian Company should avail themselves of other Railways in the neighbourhood of Glasgow as an access to that city. Following out that intention, your Commit tee are upon the point of concluding arrangements with the Proprietors of certain existing Railways of a satisfac tory nature both as regards the public and the Caledonian Company. Among the advantages which will be thereby secured is the use of an eligible terminus at Glasgow. within a few yards of the Exchange of that city. While your Committee have thus in view one connec tion with Glasgow, very advantageous in many respects, they do not intend to pledge the Caledonian Company to the exclusive use of the Railways alluded to. This freedom of action is reserved by your Committee with reference to a proposed Line. called the " Clydesdale Junction Railway," which will be of the greatest benefit to this undertaking. The Clydesdale Junction will con nect the Caledonian Railway with Glasgow on the side of the city opposite to the terminus already referred to, thereby affording to the Caledonian Company a double• communication with that city. The Clydesdale also extends to the Harbour of Glatt gow, from which the other terminus is separated by th e intervention of a part of the town. The Clydesdale line is moreover connected with existing Railways leading from Glasgow to Paisley and other ma nufacturing towns of Renfrewshire, and to the Seaports of Greenock and Port Glasgow. Your Committee are happy to state, that they have con cluded arrangements with the Provisional Committee of the Clydesdale Junction, of a description beneficial to both Companies, and on such terms as to enable the Cale_ donian Company to avail themselves, with advantage, o f that line to any extent which their traffic may require. Under these favourable circumstances you will be at no loss to attribute to its true cause the original determina tion of the promoters of the Caledonian line to trust to other railways for their connexion with Glasgow rather than to incur ►he large expense of forming an independent line for themselves. Lastly : Your Committee have much satisfartion in stating Mr. Lc.cke's expressed opinion, that a large saving in the construction of the works, will be effected upon the estimate given in the prospectus, particularly upon that portion of the line which diverges to Edinburgh, and vOich your Committee have always considered a most im portant part of the undertaking. In aid of the foregoing explanation, your Committee refer to the Map which acconapan;es this report, It af fords convincing evidence of the judicious selection of the Caledonian Line. It has seldom, if ever, happened that any newly-projected Railway could boast the possession of so many contributing Lines already in existence or sure to be immediately formed. The Map shows that the Caledonian will, from the moment it is opened, command the following connections, in addition to its principal Termini, in Edinburgh and Glasgow :- 1. By the Scottish Central Railwav,with Stirling, Perth, Dundee, and the North of Scotland generally. 2. By the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, eastward, with Falkirk, Linlithgow, and the important districts of which these towns form the centres._ _ . 3. By the same Railway, westward, with Kirkintilloch, Kilsyth, and other towns and villages in that quarter. 4. By the Forth and Clyde Navigation, with Grange mouth and the Firth of Forth. 5. By the Clydesdale Junction, with Paisley, Greenock, and Port-Glasgow ' • and 6. By the Clyde Navigation, with the Firth of Clyde. Your Committe have likewise carried out the original views of the promoters, by ordering a survey and plans of a Branch to Dumfries, and these are now in course of execution. These various ramifications must always give the Cale donian Company the command of the railway traffic be tween Scotland and England. This leads your Committee to the only other subject to which they think it necessary to allude before concluding this Report, and that is. the competition of other Lines. Your Committee are of opinion, that much more impor tance has been attempted to be attached to that compe tition than it deserves. They say this without the slighest disposition to underrate any real or well-founded danger from such a cause. but they look upon the danger in this case as neither iminent in its circumstances nor serious in its consequences. The routes alleged to be Lines competing with the Caledonian are the projectad Railwys from Newcastle to Edinburgh, by Berwick, and from Carlisle to Glasgow, by Dumfries. ... With regard to the first of these routes, your committee do not regard it as a competing Line at al. It was de cided not to be ao by the Select Committee on competing Railways appointed last session, by the House of Com mon.; ; and a statement to the same effect was made, in Parliament, by the President of the Board of Trade. The Caledonian Line must always be the shortest and cheapest route from Edinburgh to three-fourths, at least, of all England. Any one examining a map may ascer tain that Berwick, while it is 57 miles distant from Edin burgh, it is only 14 miles to the southward of it. The distance from Edinburgh to Liverpool, by the Caledonian Line, will be 226 miles, whereas, by the route to Berwick, it would be 304 miles, making a difference in favour of the Caledonian of 78 miles. . Under such circumstances, your Committee are of opinion, that the Caledonian Company has nothing to fear, in any event, from Railway communication along the east coast. The other projected Line is a proposed continuation of the Glasgow and Kilmarnock Railway, by way of Dum fries, to Carlisle. If that project were to be sanctioned by Parliament, it might, to a limited extent, compete with the Caledonian in the west of Scotland traffic. It has not, and never can have, any direct communication with the Northern and Eastern Railways. The navigable river of Clyde, and the city of Glasgow form insuperable bar riers to such a connexion. Beyond the western traffic, therefore, the competition could not be extended ; and in regard to it, it would be conducted by the rival Company under the disadvantage of a great excess of distance. For instance, between Glasgow and Carlisle the excess is 24 miles. Between Edinburgh and Carlisle, besides the in terruption at Glasgow, the excess of distance, by the Ayr and Dumfries route, is not less than 70 miles. Competi tion on such terms would be so hopeless or ruinous that your Committee cannot suppose that any influence which the Glasgow and Ayr railway Company possess will be sufficient to induce Parliament to sanction such an under taking. On the subject of the merits of the Kilmarnock and Dumfries Line, as compared with the Caledonian, the Government Commissioners are very Explicit. "It is true," says their Report, "that, as each of the three (Nithsdale) routes is intended to form a Junction with the Ayrshire Railway, or its branch to Kilmarnock, there would be a shorter length of new Line to construct ; * * but this is rather to be considered as an advantage to the proprietors of that Line than to the public, whose fares would be in proportion to the distance travelled over, whether on the old or new Line ; * * and it would be very unjust, for their exclusive advantage, to tax passen gers between Carlisle and Edinburgh and Glasgow, both in time and expense, to the extent it would be requisite in this instance. Viewing the matter in this light, it is conceived that neither of the three Nithsdale Lines can be recommended as a Main Trunk Line of communication between England and Scotland." In conclusion, your committee have to state, that vigor ous measures have been commenced to obtain the Act for the formation of the Caledonian Line. Your committee anticipate that the Act will be passed and the Works commenced early next summer ; but as there is already a large sum of money in hand, a second call on the capital will not be required before the month of July, 1845.

How seldom do we feel, perceive, or think of the small beginnings of disease which surround and operate upon us in our enjoyments and intercourse with the world. " The young disease, which must subdue at length, Grows with ourgrowth, and strengthens with our strength." An improper regimen acting upon a particular kind of constitution, late hours, both of retiring to rest and rising in the morning, lay the foundation of intestinal, as well as skin diseases. Te all such we would recommend first a change of system, and secondly, as a powerful assi-tant for the recovery of health that efficacious Family Medicine, Frampton's Pill of Health, which has procured the appro bation of persons in every station in society.—See Ada. SINGULAR MODE OF RELIEVING A BESIEGED CASTLE. —There was a peculiar custom in Cheshire. During the sanguinary feuds on the Welsh borders which succeeded the conquest, and which continued more than two centu r'es, Randle Blunderville, the celebrated Earl Palatine of Chester, 1181. and founder of the then impregnable castle of Buston, was beseiged in the castle of Rhuddlaw, by a numerous army of Cambro-Britons. He im en ediately'des patched a messenger to his constable, Roger Lacy, Baron of Halton, who, in the exigency of the moment, assembled at Chester, (it being the time of the fair,) a great body of idle and dissolute people, including all the fiddlers, minstrels, and players then present, besides a considerable number of women, and other dissolute peo ple; with these he marched to the Earl's relief. The ap pearance of this motley multitude operated so strongly on the fears of the Welsh, that they fled in all directions. Asa reward for the signal services thus rendered, the Earl gave to " Roger Lacy" power over all the fiddlers and shoemakers in Cheshire. The constable, however, pre sented his steward, Piers Dutton, with the authority over all the shoemakers, reserving to himself only the right over the fiddlers.—Polytechnic Review. COMMENCEMENT OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION, OF 1830 TO 1840.—" On the publication of the ordonances, the members of the Chamber who were in Paris met at each others' houses to discuss measures of resistance. But it was not from the members of the Chamber that the move ment was to emanate. Those who had any position to compromise looked on, for the most part, with anxiety and astonishment, waiting to see what current the dis turbed waters would finally take. "On the evening of the 27th, a man, name unknown. appeared on the Quai d'Ecole, and paraded the banks of the river with the tri coloured flag, which had been folded up and hidden away for fifteen years." The symbol was adopted by the people. The revolution had commenced. Then followed all those strange scenes of levity and blood, buffoonery and heroism, which the history of Parisian revolutions has familiarized to the imagination, but which, never theless, have an inexhaustible interest. The people arm themselves wheresoever and howsoever they can. One brings into the Place de la Bourse two large hampers, full of muskets and accoutrements. T..ey come from the Theatre du Vaudeville, where a piece had been played, a few days before, which required that a number of actors should be armed. To command men thus equipped there there were extemporary generals, whose epaulets were ob tained from the wardrobe of the Opera Comique. The students of the Polytechnic were, as usual, on the alert to pt actice whatever they had learned of military science ; the younger sort entering into the war with the same spirit that other schoolboys enter into any minor mischief that is going forward. A student of the Polytechnic is standing on the left bank of the river; he has a musket, but no ammunition. A fellow-student, a lad of fifteen, bas a packet of cartridges, but no musket : " You shall share them " said he, showing his treasure, " if you will lend me the gun to shoot my half." A party of the royal guard were coming over the bridge. He started with the gun to have his shots. He was swept off with others by the fire of the military."—Blackwood's Magazine. USE OF BATHS.—Sir George Lefevre, in an article en titled " On the use and abuse of domestic remedies," strongly recommends the use of a shower bath, which he says can be employed with advantage and comfort in many cases where the space is ton limited for the esta blishment of a plunging bath, and he observes that its refreshing effects in warm weather contribute much to the perfection of the animal functions even :in the most healthy state. A morning shower bath, or if that cannot be accomplished, one taken after the morning fatigues are over, as a part of the ante prandium toilette, will often secure a pleasant sensation for the evening, and add a charm to the dolce far niente of the remainder of the day. It is a restorative to strength in those cases of languor, attended without actual disease. Delicate fe males derive the most pleasurable advantages from its use; and even during pregnancy it is not counter.indi cated, if proper precautions be adopted. The proper hour of the day for it is immediately after rising, or before dinner, and it may be used every other day with advan tage. It should not be administered, however, without certain precautions, and should he progressive as regards its temperature. When first used, this should vary with the season of the year. If it can be commenced in sum mer, Sir G. Lefevre recommends that the water be placed over night in the bedchamber, so that it may possess the same degree of temperature. The cold should not be such as to produce a shock in the first instance, but when the system has been initiated into its effects by degrees the caloric should be lowered daily, so that the fluid 'nay be cooled down to the freezing point, without any risk of producing discomfort, but the certainty of luxurious sen sation. If commenced in the colder season, the water should at first be raised to a comfortable temperature, and afterwards gradually cooled down to the same extent as in summer. It is necessary to rub the body smartly during the drying process, and that too in a room free from cold draughts and currents of air. A flannel dress ing gown should be put on immediately afterwards in the winter season, and rest indulged in for some time. This remedy is of great utility in nervous head tches, and those produced by frequenting crowded assemblies, and indulg ing in the luxury of the table, and also in hypochondriasis. —Lancet. [The following, which appeared last week in oter Town Edition, is re-inserted for the perusal cf distant Subscribers.] HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND. (From our own Correspondent.) LONDON. MONDAY, NOOK. This morning, her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the Princess Royal, left Windsor Castle for the braes of Athol. Precisely at seven o'clock, the Royal party quitted Windsor Castle, and arrived at the railway station (which was fitted up as usual on such occasions) at twenty-six minutes past seve Her Majesty and his Royal High nes,, as well as the Princess Royal, were neatly attired in deep mourning, and were received by the gentlemen in attendance, and conducted to the special train in waiting for them amidst the congratulatory cheers of a number of ladies and gentlemen who had obtained permission to view her departure from the railway pl .tform. The train consisted of five carriages, and was propelled at twenty. four minutes past seven by the Phlegethon steam-engine, under the direction of Mr. Gooch, the chief engineer. In the meantime, the arrangements at the Paddington terminus were satisfactorily carried out. A troop of the 11th Lancers mustered at six o'clock at the Kensington barracks, and arrived at the railway at a quarter bafoce seven, commanded by Lieutenant Hayworth, where they , took up their position as a guard of honour to the Qu e e n . A few minutes before seven o'clock five of the Royal car riages and a luggage van, drawn by four horses, and two outriders, arrived at the railway, and remained there until eleven minutes to eight o'clock, when the bell announced the approach of the illustrious travellers. Upon the ar rival of the train, her Majesty first alighted, followed by his Royal Hi g hness Prince Albert, who led the Princess Royal by the hand. The ladies and gentlemen at the station heartily cheered the Royal party as they crossed the platform to the Royal carriages destined to carry theca to Woolwich, and the enthusiastic display seemed to con tribute to the delight of the Princess who as she skipped along by her parent's side, laughed heartily. Her Majesty, the Prince and Princess did not enter the retiring room, but at once entered their travelling car riage ; and one of the directors offered some of the mora ine papers to the Queen, but they were declined. The Royal party were attended by Col. Boaverie and General Wemyss, equerries in waiting, and Viscountess Canning and Lady Caroline Cocks, ladies in waiting, and the French and English preceptresses of her Royal High ness the Princess Royal. The transfer of the whole of the distinguished travellers from the train to the Royal carriages did not occupy more than five minutes, and the Royal cortege set off at a brisk pace for 'Woolwich, by route of Vauxhall-bridge, Ken nington New Cross, and along the Trafalgar-road, Green wich, by the lower road, to the principal entrance of the Dockyard. The Royal party were repeatedly cheered along the line of road, and on passing the Royal Naval School at Greenwich, the boys, under the superintendence of Lieut. Rouse, were drawn out, and gave a vociferous demonstration of their growing loyalty, while their band struck up the national anthem. On the opposite side of the road, many of the old weather-beaten tars in the Ho spital tried to outvie the boys in their display of regard for the illustrious personages. Her Majesty and Prince Al bert, throughout the journey, noticed, in a condescending and affable manner, the warm greetings of their devoted subjects. At Woolwich, the marines, under the command of Colonel Mercer, in the absence of Colonel Parkes upon leave, mustered at their barrracks at half-past seven, and 100 of them rank and file lined the Dockyard as a guard of honour, and the remainder were stationed along the Woolwich road as far as the White Horse Inn, Charlton. The assemblage of persons of all classes was very great, despite the unfavourable state of the weather, the rain still descending. The splendid bands of the oyal Ma rines and Royal Artillery were stationed in the Dockyard and played at intervals. At nine o'clock the Royal party arrived at the principal dock-yard-gate, and were sat down at the Water-gate, fronting Sir F. Collier's, the superintendent's house. They were received with due military honours, and wel comed thus far on their journey by the Earl of Aberdeen, Earl of Liverpool, Sir James Clark, the Earl of Had dington, Vice-Admiral Sir W. Gage, Admiral Bags, Sir G. F. Seymour and the Hon. H. T. L. Coles. The Hon. Sydney Herbert, Secretary to the Admiralty, and Cap tain Brandreth, of the Engineering Department, were likewise present. Amongst the officers from the garrison were Lord Blomfield, Brigade Major Curpage, Colonel Jones, &c., &c. Sir R. Peel was to have attended, but the sudden indisposition of his daughter prevented hint from coming. Her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and H.R.H. Princess were assisted to alight from their car riage by the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Blomfield and Sir F. Collier. The illustrious party at once descended the steps leading t? the river, which were covered with green cloth, and 'embarkeo in the William and Mary, steered by Sir F. Collier, and towed by twelve watermen, and was safely conveyed on board the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, commanded by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarenee. During the time of the embarkation the numerous spec tators loudly cheered the Royal voyagers; and the artil lery, under the command of Col. Jones, fired a salute of 21 guns. The military bands struck up the national an tional anthem, and the numerous vessels lying off the dockyard manned yards, and a fleet of steamers, tastefully decorated with flags, were lying to at the time, and imme diately after the Royal yacht got under weigh (at twenty minutes past nine,) accompanied the Royal squadron down the river as far as the Nore. The Black Eagle, commanded by the Earl of Hardwicke, was the only go vernment steamer that kept company with the Royal yacht. The Eclair having set sail soon after six o'clook with some members of the Royal household, and the Earl of Aberdeen, carriage, luggage, &c. The Lords of the Admiralty in attendance wore their state uniforms; and Earls Aberdeen, Liverpool, and Sir James Clarice pro ceeded with her Majesty to Scotland, in addition to Viscountess Canning end Lady Caroline Cocks. The Royal voyagers, in passing down the river, were saluted by the Royal senal, Tilbury Fort; and on leaving the mouth of the river the whole of the royal party appeared in excellent health and spirit, throughout their route from Windsor to Woolwich, which only occupied two hours and twenty minutes. On Saturday the Prince of Prussia, after visiting the National Gallery, called upon the Earl of Aberdeen and the Duke of Wellington, and afterwards proceeded to Greenwich where his royal highness embarked on board the Lightening steamer, and proceeded down the ricer to Ostend, at which port the Prince is expected to land en route for Berlin. (Continued on page 2.) MR. BRAHAM'S CONCERT, LAST NlGHT.—Yesterday evening, whilst the admirers of the ballet were worship ping their goddess in the person of " the divine Fanny," at our Theatre-Royal, this veteran vocalist, with his two sons, Messrs. Charles and Hamilton Braham, were de lighting a numerous and fashionable reunion of the lovers of song at the Royal Assembly-rooms, in Great George street. The programme, much altered from that of his last concert here, was an excellent one, comprising many of those standard songs which Mr. Braham has made his own, and in which his two sons seem destined almost to rival their distinguished sire. On the present occasion he was in excellent voice, little altered from the Braham of years gone by, and executed the songs assigned for him is his usual admirable style. In consequence of the non arrival of the gentleman who was to have accompanied him in the celebrated " Picture Song", he substituted Lo ver's charming song of " Molly Bawn," which was given with an effect which left nothing to regret in the change. Mr. Charles Brahain and Mr. Hamilton Braham greatly exerted themselves, and were warmly applauded in the various pieces assigned to them. The latter gentleman in particular gives great promise of future eminence. THEATRE ROYAL.—The spirited management of this theatre have, this week, manifested their anxiety to con duce to the gratification of the public by adding to the at traction of the eminent Haymarket performers, who have lately been added to our regular company, the superior attraction of the unrivalled Fanny Ellsler, assisted by Madame Proche Giubelei, Mademoiselle Ferdinand, Mdlle. Barville, and Monsieur Silvain, principal dancers of her Majesty's theatre, with a full and efficient corps de ballet. Last evening the performances were commenced with the amusing little piece entitled, "Tom Noddy's Secret," which was received throughout with shouts 0E laughter. The Ink_ven of Mr. Clark was full of outrageous drollery ; and Mr. Strickland's Tom Noddy, like all that gentleman's efforts, was unique. The ballet selected for the display of the wonderful powers of Ellsler was " Giselle; or the Wills" and was excellently put upon Inc stage- To describe its plot would be, at the late hour at which we write, quite impossible. Suffice it to say that, like most other pieces of the Ballet kind, it is partly of fairy and partly mortal scenery and character, the princi pal and most attractive personage, Giselle, (Fanny Ellater) belonging to the former. As a matter of course it is more a vehicle for affording occasion for the display of the wonderful powers of this beautiful artiste than any other kind of performance, and as such it is most effectual. The first dance given, at the first meeting of the Giselle and her mortal lover (Sylvain) was most beautiful, as were every effort of the fair one. But the gem of the first act was a pas, by this inimitable danseuse, partaking more of a hornpipe movenient than of anything else that we can liken it to, in which the rapidity and cor rectness of execution excelled everything we ever saw in ballet action. This dance met with an enthusiastic en core, which it well deserved. In this act several beautiful dances were executed by Mademoiselles Ferdinand and. Bat-silk, both most graceful and talented artistes, and by Mons. Sylvain, which were loudly applauded. The con clusion of the act, in which Ell s l er h as to susta i n t h e part of one dying or maddened, displayed a power of acting in this talented artiste quite equal to her feats upon the light fantastic toe. Like our own Celeste, she is more than 11 mere danseuse, and only wants the voice to be an aetress of the first order. The second act displayed, in Fanny Ellsler a lighter, and a more sober order of dancing, its which she shone equally as in the more joyous efforts of the first. It left upon our minds the impression that, even in an art, generally esteemed din sy and often immo dest, genius can rise to the height almost of poetic embo diment. In this act Easier was more than a mere artiste. She was the creator of many beautiful and gracefiil i m ages, mental as well as of form. We must not omit to record our meed of praise to Madame Proche Guibelie. We have admired this chaste danseuse in her yonnger day's ; and she is not degenerated from her pristine grace and elegance. As a whole, including the corps de ballet, although placed awfully in contrast with the first-rate performers engaged, we have seldom had so much to praise and so little to find fault with. Stu W.
