bitants of Inowraclaw, in the province of Posen, to
afford quarters to the Russian troops, who are to

HER MAMMY'S THEATRE.

The Barbiere di Siviglia wan the opera at this
theatre last night, with Lille. Trebelli (who made her test
appear►nce this mason) in the part of &mina. This charm-
ing young contralto, who delighted the public so much last
steam, is more charming than ever ; and it is not too much
to nay that a more perfect representative of the character
has never appeared on the stags. Her beauty, her puce.
her aech and playful gaiety, always reamed and ladylike,
make her the very Leas idiot of the young Spanish maiden
who baffles so cleverly the precautions of her astute fuer
than, In Moiling she emulates Alboni, whom she greatly
resembles in voice and style ; ■nd in hearing her, like Alboni
in this part, we have the advantage of hearing the music
sang as the composer wrote it, without its being altered to
suit the voice of • soprano. She was most warmly received,
and the air in the music lesson (which was the brilliant
finale. " Non pid meets" was encored with thunders of
applause. The opera altogether was well performed. Bettini,
indeed, lacks the life and spirit requisite for the brilliant Count
Almaviva, but he is as smallest singer, and that, on the
opera stage, makes up for s multitude of histrionic deli•
eiencies. Zucchini (who appeared for the first time this
season) is the beet Doctor Bartholo since Lablache, whom
he resembles, though without copying him, in the richness
of his comic humour. The excellence of Greasier's Figaro has
long been familiar to the public ; and the character of the
cunning Basilic) is one of the happiest efforts of that very
valuable performer Vialetti. His great air, "la calunnia,"
both is esseeption and execution, is a genuine artistic study.

ministry has determined to appoint a royal commie,
sion of inquiry into the grievances of the India
army. Sir Charles Wood will have the warn

KDUCATTON.

Mr. WALTER lien rem to mon the following resole-
tins :-1. " That it is the opinion of this house that the
suns annually voted by parliament for *dentinal parpaar
eaght to be made applicable to all the poorer sebools
throughout the country (not lain pirate rebook or carried
en for profit) in which the attendance and examination of
the children exhibit the results required under the revised

regain the employment of certificated teachers or of pupil
teachers by school mimagere as so indispetuable condition
of their pulicipatiou is the capitation grant is inexpedient
and =just to the manager. of such schools." The hoe.
gentleman argued &pion the existing machinery of state
education, with its exclusinoess and cumbromains, sad
pointed out that the large expenditure of public moody, and
the cast appellant of training colleges and pupil toschoss, I
was established and is operatics, for the purpose of teaching
little children up to the of 12 to read, mite, cypher,
and behave themselves. He especially directed his criticism
against the system of pupil hatchets, sad objected to the
government forcing that clue of teachers on the managers
of all schools. He also pemmican decidedly against the
certificate system, which he urged was sot efficacioeui in say
proportion to its pre.ensious. He urged that the govern-
anent would put aa end to the present pedantic and illiberal
system, aad distribute a moderate portion of the parties-

PRUSSIA AND FRANCE.

The Augsburg Gazette contains a communication
from Berlin, stating that M. de Bismark has not
only refused to unite with the other three powers,
but that Prussia would even declare war against
France if a French fleet should attempt to pass
north of Memel with a view of getting to the coasts
of Samogitia. Upon this the Tempe remarks, "We
do not know what credit ought to be attached to
this news, but in any case there is no occasion to be
much concerned about it. As long as the discord
which exists between the Prussian government and
the public opinion of Prussia shall continue, the
projects which M. de Bismark may conceive need
not be regarded as very serious."

THE ALLEGED ABBTRACTIOR PROM THE
RECORD OFFICE.

This morning a copy of a letter from the Master
of the Rolls to the Home Secretary with reference to the
alleged abstraction of certain state papers from the Record-
office was returned to pa:Bennet. It seems that in the
practice of arranging the state papers before they come
under Sir John Hominy's superintendence, and separating
the enclosures of letters from the letters containing them,
documents have been mislaid and appear to be missing which
are, in fact, not miming, but only re-arranged in a different
order, and that some clerk in the office, not finding the
documents in question, bad inserted in the lists of the State
Paper-office a number of notices that offset. "In fact,"
says the Master of the Rolla, " the entries of the words re-
lating to the correspondence missing were written upwards
e thirty years ago by a gentleman who was then a clerk in
the State Paper-office, since Secretary of the Reoord-offioe,
but now deceased. When these lists were furnished to
Mr. Turnbull to guide him in the o'ropilation of his
Weeder, he retained these notices as he found them in his
own justification. This is, in fact, the explanation of the
charges made against this office by the Protestant Alliance.
Had the same rules obtained in the State Paper-office as
have been enforced by me since the state papers came under
my charge, such mistakes as this could sever have
arisen. I have forbidden the disarrangement of
the documents, and the separation of the enclo-
sures from the letters containing them. It will
be impossible at once to remedy the inconveniences which
have arisen from a practice sanctioned many years ago, be-
fore state papers were so well understood or so much studied
es they are at present ; but the printed calendars now in
the course of preparation under my care will do much to-
wards replacing the mislaid documents in their proper order,
and will be a sufficient guarantee to the public spinet any
misarrengement or misappropriation of them hereafter;
supposing cry such misappropriation has taken place, which
Ido not believe. lam satisfied that. since the state pipers
have been under my charge, no one of them has disappeared,
nor do I see how it would have been possible that they
' should have been purloined under the precautions which I
have adopted."

A railway of novel construction has been in ope-
ration since Monday last in the Champs Elyse's, Paris. It
has been imagined to convey to the Polak de Pladustrie
the model of the new Opera-house, which is of plaster,
weighs more than two tone, ands so fragile that it could
not bear the jolting of a carriage. The model is placed on
a truck mused with a cloth. The truck is Awed on rails,
which are drawn from the tail to the heed according is the
truck is advanced. The progress is vary slow, but sure,
and the engineer who directs the operation feels confident
that this object of art, one of the most curious to be ex-
posed to view at the approaching Exhibition of Fine Arts,
will arrive safely at the Pules de Flodustrie.

Nassau. With respect to the see of Gibraltar, his noble
friend the Secretary of State had bee, in cmomuoication
with the Archbishop of Canterbury, with whom, virtually,
the appointment rested. As to the new see of Goulburn, it
had been filled up—the first bishop wee, in fact, nominated
by the late Archbishop of Canterbury. With respect to
Quebec in Canada, he bad to state that • bishop to that
diocese bad been elected by the synod of Cicada. With
reference to Tasmania there was now no actual vacancy,
although one was likely moo to occur. There was some
doubt about the sdary and the probability was that it
would be found necemary to fill up the expected vacancy by
an appointment to be made in the colony iMdf.
(Hear, hear.) As regarded Nassau, the vacancy caused
by the death of Dr. Caulfield—who, he might mention, was
an Irishman—had been filled up by his noble friend the
Colonial Secretary. The fact that the late bishop of the
diocese was an biahmaa showed that the Irish clergy were
not excluded from colonial bialsoprica (Hear, hear.) He
could not, however, withhold from his hon. friend a cora-

Loan. Since the notice of his hoc. friend had been placed
on the paper he had received a communicaticio from& clergy-
man in Lancashire, stating that he had bees acting as •
clergyman there for the last twenty years, and that it was •
singular fact that daring the whole of that period there
had been no instance of • Lancashire clergyman having
become • colonial bishop—(" beer, hear." and laughter)—

of members of the church then all Ireland. (Hear, hear.)

made by Mr. Scott Russell, in a paper read before the So-
ciety of Naval Architect., on March, cosearning the
collection of models at Somenet•hoeae, viz., that "it bed
been throat down into a cellar, shut up in the dark, and was
now effectually kept out of sight?"
Lord C. PAGET mid that the models referred to by the
noble lord were not as well placed at Somerset-house as
could be desired owing to the want of suitable amommoda-
Um in that building. The statement, however, of Mc.
Scott Rummell was a great exaggendson. It was not the
fact that the models were threat down tato a cellar or kept
in the dark. (Hear.)

nation. The enemy were defeated. Lieutenants
Sanderson and Peel, of the 101st Regiment, were
killed, five officers wounded, including General
Chamberlain and Colonel Hope ; and 128 men,
British and native, were killed and wounded.
The loss of the tribes is much greater. Since this
defeat the tribes have not attacked, and show
symptoms of disunion and discouragement.
Chamberlain says he does not require rein-
forcements, he only wishes the regiments which
have suffered much to be relieved, and speaks
confidently of final success. He has upwards of
5,000 selected troops, intrenctied in a commanding
position, and defended by thirteen guns, four
officers of Engineers, and two companies of Sappers
and Miners. The troops are hard-worked, but their
health is good. They are well-provisioned, and
have plenty of ammunition. General Chamberlain
has resigned the command on account of his wound
and ill-health ; Major-General Garvock is appointed
to succeed him.
