His reputed wife had gone away tante 'Wheks'ago, but the

were the facts, as given in evidence by several witnesses. The
defence, set up by Mr.,llluck was, that the alleged wife of the

nothing about the removal of the goods: Mr: Blink contended
that the prisoner was not guilty of felony; but the magiarate

and exhibited a gooddeal of low cunning, with some knowledge
of criminal proceedings. It was proved that there was no such

hatastoniKed 'every one with her' bravull, her sweet
voice, ankketf txtquisite method of-Singing. We may
say, without -exaggeration; that the fair daughter of
England has treated the part-of antrenta/a.
A correspondent of the Gazette dei -Teatri .
says—Mademoiselle Anna WhiSty's voice, is pure and
sympathetic; her agility marvellous, and her method
perfect. Eight times, at least, was Mademoiselle Whitty.

.Our.next extract is from _Le Seiniille (Milan) :—I here

cult to find a singer of' the presdnt day .who can: with so •
much ability execute the difficult 'music of Rbssini, and
who joins to the most perfect intonation, the rarest'
talent_and musical knowledge. . . ;

Whitt), has surprised, has astonished all: Her voice is
an enchantment in its purity and sweetness ; , her
method perfect; her agility and the 44 embroideries" of
•of her voice are indescribable, •as is also' the effect she
produces. There. is: no _instrument whose suavity can
equal hers ; no nightingale can compare with: het in the
precision ,of her roulades, in the perfection ,of her
fioriture. We have: heard Mademoiselle Whitty at
Florence, at Sienna, and other towns, and we hair°
ever been compelled to acknowledge that ih Ros
sini's music she is unapproachable ; her charming
grace of manner; the spontaneity of her :vocalism, her
lovely, clear, -pure, and. exquisitely sym,pathetil
render her an iuterpTetar Af those classical compositions
whom few indeed can riyal.i Mademoiselle Witty has
creamed the part of Cenerentola. Her acting is so
natural, representing the pbor ill-treated girl with such
simplicity of manner, that at once the heart of the
public is seized with sympathy for the wrongs". of the
neglected child, who is forced to seek companionship.

MR. SPURQE9I3 923 THE FRENCH EHPEROR.—The
Rev. Mr. Spurgeon writes frotn • Baden-Baden_ t.f) the'
Tritish—Statart4a.' Describing the late Weil-lewd
between the Emperor Napoleon and the German princes,
he stops to express ,bis " gratitude." He says,i "
Saturday, the Emperor might -be seen. early i the
morning rilhing, the garden, leaning upon his
walking-stink,. and ;looking more deciepid than

might justify. It is a: theme for gratitude that Ihe is
not a young manrand that, be his ambition what-it may,
he has no great time before him in. which to work out
his political adventures. On horseback or in his car-
riage, all,men eonfe,ss_hii noble bearing, and no signs of
decay are mailfest; but, when he is walking, the
spectator foresees that the greatest of men are moral."
