THE PRESS.

by becoming acquainted with the beauties of
Art, it is hardly possible to doubt of the great
influence it must exercise upon the growth of
native artists. Art is eminently of the people.
A painter or a sculptor of high birth is a rarity.
This, no doubt, is mainly the result of its
extreme precariousness as a profession, which
prevents its being adopted by middle-class
cadets of good family. We are only speaking
of the fact; and it io curious to speculate on
the possibility of some future ‘VILKIE or
GAINSBOROUGH conceiving the first inclination
to his career as he walks wonderingly through
the glowing galleries of Manchester.
Nations do not long remain poised in any
one particular attitude. They pass from the
struggles of savage life to the establishment
of public laws and domestic c:miforts, and
from these to the assertion of political and
intellectual freedom. When the last stage
has been passed—when the human being has
done all that he can for himself, both as man
and citizen, either vindicated his liberty, or
contentedly acquiesced in servitude—he at
last begins to turn his attention to ornament,
elegance, and refinement. May we not hail
the popularity with which Art exhibitions are
now received as a welcome omen that England
too has now passed through her fiercest politi•
cal struggles—that greater amenity is begin-
'ling to pervade all classes—and that our mer-
cantile magnates are beginning to exchange
political agitation for the enjoyments of
taste and luxury? They may well do so.
They have won a proud position, and have
much to lose and little to gain by further
changes. And when we hear so much of the
absence of political excitement, and the want
of interest which the people evince in the
laboured activity of their professed patrms,
are we wrong in coupling it with the opening
of the Manchester Exhibition as indicative of
a great truth, the auspicium, ntelioris (Ili I

TIE " TRANSIT."

On the motion that the house on rising should
adjourn until Monday,

Mr. LINDSAY called attention to the dicacters
which we e reported to have befallen the Transit
steamer when on her voyage to Cuiva with troops
and stores.

Mr. BENTINCK also challenged explanations on the
subject.

Sir C. WOOD described the circumstances under
which the Transit and two other companion vessels
had been bought by the Government, fitted with
screws, and adapted to the transport service. Every
care, he said, had been taken in their rigging and
equipment, and if the vessels were not the best of
their class in the service, they ought to be so. He
believed, indeed, that the accounts of the misndven-
tore which the Transit was said to have encountered
were much exaggerated.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

MME. Bosio returned on Thursday night in Verdi's
Rigoletto, and was warmly welcomed. She is in the
full possession of her powers of florid vocalisation,
and has now "made her public" by shear industry
and perseverance. Her gradual rise in popular
estimation is a remarkable proof how little a vocalist
can suffer by severe criticism, if she has within
her the essential element of an artiste. No prima
donna came with less noise, and her first season
exposed her to commentaries, which, so far from dis-
heartening her, were an incentive to study and
practice. Mme. Bosio now legitimately holds the
position once occupied by Mlle. Persiani, and it is bat
justice to the former to add that she has vastly im-
proved as an actress since the smiles of the sub-
scribers have baen secured. With Didie, Ronconi,
Tagliafico, and Mario, in the cast of Rigoletto, the
representation left nothing to be desired. Next
Thursday Mme. Bosio will appear in the Traviata,
in which part she created quite a furore in St. Pe-
tersburg. Graziani and Mario will be included in
the cast. Mlle. Victoire Balfe will make her debut
next Thursday week as Amina in the Sonnambula.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.
A FINE performance of Mendelssohn's Elijah took
place at Exeter•hall on Wednesday, under Costa's
direction. The principal vocalists were Mme.
Rudersdortf, Miss Dolby, Mrs. Lockey, Mr. Weiss,
and Mr. Sims Reeves. The season of the society is
virtually closed. There will be one more oratorio
given—namely, Costa's Eli, on Wednesday, the 10th
of June, preceding the rehearsal on Friday,
the 12th of June, by the 2,5►00 executants 01 the
Handel Festival on the 15th, 17th, and 19th of
June. The sale of tickets for this monster meeting
has been already very great, and the interest
increases laity amongst professors and amateurs to
ascertain how far such large masses will be effective
in the execution of Handel's works. As regards the
chorines in The Messiah, Israel, and Judas Mat-ea-
Letts, the results must be overwhelming, and the
choral portions of these oratorios are the main
features.

THE DEBATE IN THE HOUSE

OF LORDS.

THE discussion in the House of Peers on
Thursday was interesting and important. In
the absence of Lord DERRY, the House was
addressed from the Conservative benches by
the Earl of MALMESBURY in a brief but vigo-
rous speech. His Lordship criticised the
Cabinet severely on the meagreness of the
list of practical measures proposed to be
brought forward. The number of those mea-
sures is so few that Lord M ALM ERSBURY was
justified in calling attention to this additional
proof of " a wasted year."
NVe are glad that Lard MALMESBURY took
occasion again to vindicate the Conservative
party from Lord PAL MERSTON'S blustering
charge of combination upon the Chinese
question in the last Parliament. The remarks
of Laid MALMESBURY on Thursday were spi-
rited and just; and they drew forth a strong
declaration of opinion from Lord GREY, who
declared " that the whole tone of our public
" discussions was lowered when such mean
" and unworthy motives were ascribed to
" honourable men." The Premier's callous-
ness under the reproofs for his nnparliamen-
tary language is one of the worst features
lately manifested in his character. Coarseness
of thought and language are unworthy of one
filling the office of First Minister, not to speak
of the conventional proprieties which should
rule the deportment of every English gentle-
man in or out of Parliament.

By a curious coincidence the case of General
ASHBURNHAM, and the attacks made on that
officer in the Times, Wits a prominent
topic in the debate A bad precedent does
not justify an improper act ; if such were the
case, the circulators of the accusations against
General AsumasnAm might seek to shelter
themselves under the example of Lord PAL-
MERSTON. They might plausibly contend that
if the Premier had a right to burl forth gross
charges against his political rivals, why should
not English officers indulge themselves in
accusation of their military colleagues ? On
points of propriety it is clear that Lord
PALmEasToN cannot be accepted as a ruling
guide ; and his mode of dealing with his ad-

SATURDAY,

versaries is to be deprecated rather than
followed.
Lord PANMURI otidettekok to defend General
ASHBURNHAM, and in some important respects
his Lordship succeeded. Upon others some-
thing more might have been said. On the
general question of presumptuous criticism
on military men, it is plain that something
must be done. The subject is of the greatest
constitutional and political importance, and
we reserve its special consideration for an-
other day.

SPAIN.

The Royal Speech with which the Spanish Cortes
were opened upon the Ist of May, the more impor-
tant portions of which appeared in THE PRESS of
Saturday last, now appears in the Madrid journals
in full. It does not seem that the passages which
were omitted contain any announcement of general
interest.

Marshal O'Donnell did not take his place in the
Senate at the opening, but was expected to do so in
a few days. It was said that dissensions had broken
out in the Government majority ; that an insnrrcc
tion in the province of Granada was imminent, and
that the local authorities were on the qui vivo; also,
that among other precautions, they had sent off two
large detachments of troops to Antequera and Honda,
with orders to crush any attempt at disturbance.
The discovery of a conspiracy in Andalusia was
spoken of. A bill for the reform of the mortgage
system was to be presented to the Cortes.

The Mexican affair, it is to be hoped, will be
satisfactorily settled. Intelligence from Mexico
states that the case of the Spanish assassination,
have terminated in proof of the guilt of the sons of
General Alvarez. If an execution should take place,
of which there is reason to doubt on acs .unt of
the weakness of the Government, the intelligence
will be forwarded to Havanna!), in order to prevent the
arrival of the Spanish fleet. On the other hand, the
British Charge d'Affaires has communicated a note
from his Government, which allows nine days to bring
M. Degallado before the tribunals, failing which, the
Minister will retire, together with the members of
his legation.

LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1857.

" PRESS " OFFICE,
Friday Night.

THE GRAND DUKE CONSTANTINE is posi-
tively to pay a Visit, in the middle of the
month, to the Court of St. James. His
Imperial Highness will be received at
Osborne.

THE Minister has made an evasive attempt to
speak out on the subject of " Reform ;" but
the studied ambiguity of his language renders
his declaration of little value. An adroit use
of words, and an ambidextrous attitude towards
the two great party connections, with the
" chapter of accidents" for a reserve, still consti-
tute the policy of Lord PALMERSTON. His tone
cannot even yet be distinctly identified with
Conservative or Whig. His brief speech on
Thursday wants the firmness and precision
that mark strong convictions and matured
ideas. The only thing positive in his words
was his apparent committal of the Cabinet to
raising the question of " Reform " in the next
session. His language on this important
question must be cautiously weighed.
We think it evident from the manner in
which the Minister spoke that even at the
present moment the Cabinet does not possess
the crudest notions of what sort of new
" Reform Bill" might be proposed. We were
told that it would be inexpedient at the
present time to engage in " the large and
"sweeping question" of a change in the Par-
liamentary representation ; and the Noble
Viscount proceeded to observe that such a
discussion could not by any possibility lead to
any conclusive result" in the present session.
Is it so certain that the entire subject
can be settled in the next session ? These
procrastinating words sounded in our ears like
the uld Parliamentary formula " Besides,
" air, this is not the time, &c." During
the Revolutionary War, WINDHAM opposed.
Reform on the common-sense principle (as he
put it once)—.' Would you unroof your house
" during a hurricane ?" After the war some of
Lord CASTLEREAGH'S subordinates (as Lord
PALMERSTON remembers) took the line of say-
ing—" Now that the revolutionary storm had
" ceased, we should recruit our energies, and
" rest upon our labour." These things were
brought to our recollection while Lord PAL-
MERSTON was elaborately saying as little as he
could on Thursday.
The manner in which the Minister alluded
to the evil of " unsettling the minds of men "
was extremely peculiar.. The Conservative
party has had just grounds in recent years for
blaming the policy of the Whig party in bran-
dishing a Reform Bill before the constituen
!cies, when it is not so certain that any serious

THE WHIP OF THE WHIGS

NEXT to the Prime Minister, the Secretary for
the Treasury (as the office is now filled) is
the most important personage in the Liberal
connection ; and in reply to the question,
" What great man, after all, has been pro.
" duced by the Reform Bill ?" a chorus of
Radical voices (the Member for Nell.. likes
" choristers") would answer " Hayter." Mr.
GOODENOUGH HATTER himself is satisfied of
its being the right answer. His swelling
self importance, disguised occasionally under
an exuberant condescension, is really vastly

RUSSIA AND JAPAN.

The text of a treaty of commerce recentiy con•
eluded between Russia and Japan has been pub-
lished in the St. Petersburg journals. The stipula
tions of this treaty were decided on in 1855, and the
ratifications exchanged at Simoda on the 7th of
December, 1856. The concessions made by this
document are much more extended than those of
the treaty signed in 1854 for the English by Admiral
Stirling. Among the concessions made by Japan to
Russia there is one which establishes nearly direct
commercial relations between the Russians and the
inhabitants of Simoda and Hakodadi. The payment
and exchange of the merchandise are to be made at
the Japanese entrepot, but the Russians have the
right to select themselves the merchandise in the
warehouses and to conclude their bargains direct
with the sellers.

PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.

THE piquancy of a Philharmonic programme would
assuredly be promoted by a novelty now and then,
even if the novelty failed to prove a masterpiece.
The run on Haydn and Mozart, Beethoven atul
Mendelssohn for symphonies, and on Weber, Cheru-
bini, and Rossini for overtures, has been so long con •
tinued, that a modern work would be really accept-
able, if only to have the fact confirmed that there is
nothing new under the sun. Beethoven's C minor,
and Mozart's in D, No. 2, Weber's " Ruler of the
Spirits," and Mendelssohn's " Isles of Fingal," are all
as familiar as househol I words—the last mentioned
overture, owing to its animated execution, under Dr.
Bennett's baton, being redemanded. M. Remenyi,
the first, violin in her Majesty's private band, who
made his debut at the last anniversary festival of the
R iyal Society of Musicians, performed Ernst's
concerto patlzilique, ,nd produced considerable
excitement by his skilful and poetic reading of that
very clever composition, which exacts from an execu-
tent a thorough mastery of manual intricacies, as
well as a sentimental supremacy which it is the
province of few violinists to attain. Einst himself
seemed quite satisfied with Remenyi's reading, and
the general auditory did not evidently require the
cue from the gifted composer to do honour to the
new comer. thttesini's coutrabasso concerto
developed his conceptional powers as well as
wondrous executive feats. As a composition it was
highly creditable to his theoretical learning; and as
a piece of wotkmanship on such a ponderous instru-
ment the effects produced were marvel,. Mrs.
Euderssohn and Miss Lascelles were the vocalists.

THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW opens On

previous week to 20,815 this week ; while those in
tull work have decreased from 16,861 to 15 244.

THE BIRMINGHAM CATTLE-SHOW this year has en-
joyed extraordinary success. Ono of the finest

1179 •

exhibitions of stock ever witnessed was collected on
this occasion. The Herefords were considered re-
markably fine. Mr Shaw won the great prize in
this class. The Hereford cows also formed a "mag-
nificent class"; Lord Bateman, Mr. Naylor, Mr.
Wright, &e., exhibiting well. The shorthorns, and
other breeds of cattle were also excellent. The
sheep are reported as altogether of better quality to
those exhibited last year. Lord Walsingham and
Sir Robert Throckmorton share the Down prizes.
The show of pigs, poultry, and pigeons was also
good. As a cattle and poultry show, the Bingley-
hall Exhibition fairly rivals the Smithfield Show, for
though no first-class animals are exhibited, the
attendance of visitors was unprecedentedly larger.
