NAVAL AND MILITARY.

In the rich and mellow sounds of ber voice—in the round
and graceful flow of her melodic phrases, there was not a
tone or an inflexion in which the most acute perception
could detect a transelpiae school. To some of her aim, par.
ticolarly the famous polaeca, "Son vergin VOZZOSat" she
gave new effects by the introduction of embell6b.
mints brilliantly executed ; but she only did this
when a florid style was consistent with the true character
and expression of the melody, for Titiens is an artist who
never sacrifices sense and meaning to mere vocal display.
Giuglini was no less successful in the character of Arturo.

...
He acted the youthful cavalier with much grace, spirit, and
feeling. His singing, too, was perfect, and iu the whole part he
reminded as of the greatest of all tenors, Rubini. The parts
of Riccardo and Giorgio were extremely well filled by
Signor Radian and Herr Formes, and we need vicarcely add
that the opera was received with enthusiastic applause.

DRAMA.

Miss Amy Sedgwick is at present playing leading
characters under the new management at this theatre. The
stock company is far above mediocrity, and but lacks a
"leading lady" to be fitted for the performance of such
comedy and farce as will probably prove the staple attraction,
The Hunchback and the Lcre atage have been the selec-
tions of the manager, who apparently has a deep reverence
for the genius of Mr. Sheridan Knowles ; and though on
misses the deep pathos of Miss Helen Fruit, end the
sparkling piquancy of Mrs. Nisbett, the heroines of both
pieces are played respectably enough by Miss f3edgwiek,
who is capitally supported by Miss Oliver, Mr. G. Vining,
Mr. Roxby, Mr. Marston, and Mr. Salmons.

WOOLWICH, OCT. 29.

A series of experiments took place 'thin day at
the dockyard in the presence of the master shipwright, the
chief engineer, and other officers of the establishmeet, fee
the purpose of testing the steam tire engine, patented by
Mr. Roberta, of Millwall. A powerful jet of water was
easily thrown to the height of 120 feet, and a highly favoer•
able report as to the merits of the engine will be presented
to the Admiralty.

ANOTHER PHASE OP" ESSAYS AND REVIEWS.'

With a view, apparently, to a prosecution of the
Rev. Sir. Jowett, the writer of the article "Oa the In•
ter,retatiou of the Scriptures" in "Essays and Review',"
the opinion of Sir Robert Phillimore has been taken in a
case which has been laid before him. The following is
the " Opinion :"—" My duty is confined to stating whether,
in my opinion, certain passages in the Commentaries by
Professor Jewett on St. Paul's Epistles, and certain r..•
cages in an essay by the same author in ' Essays sal Rt•
views,' entitled, ' On the Interpretation of Scripture,' are
or are not so contradictory of, and at variance with, certaio
of the 39 Articles and other formularies of the Church of
England, as to render the writer of them punishable by
ecclesiastical law if he were in a position which subjected
him to the law. First, with respect to the doctrines of
the Atonement, Satisfaction for Sin, Vicarious suffering of
our Saviour. I am of opinion that various passages in the
commentary entitled • On Atonement and Satisfaction, are
pliduly at variance with, and contradictory of the :hid,
15th, :filth, and 31st of the 39 Articles, and also with TIIiMIS
portions of the liturgy upon these subjects. (The lensed
civilian quotas at some length the passages coulee-mien—

that the writer in these and in ether passages, and asst
seems to me, by the whole tenor of his argument, does con•
tradict the doctrine contained in the 39 Articles and the liturgy.
and sets up another and %%different doctrine io the place of
it. Secondly, as to the inspiration of Holy Scripture. In
the essay on the Inspiration of Scripture, the passages con-
tained in pages 342, 343, 345, with respect to this subject
are certainly at variance with and eoutnidictory of the doe•
i trine of the Church of England, as contained in ber forinu•
Lilies. acoording to the recent judgment of the Dean of
Arches in the case of the 'Bishop of Sarum v. Williams:
and 'Tendall v. Wilson.' Thirdly, as to the creeds ; the
Bth of the 39 Articles says that theme creed; 'ought
thoroughly to be received and believe), for they
may be proved by the moat certain warrants
of Holy Scripture.' It appears to me dist I
