Mr. benefit at this theatre to soitur-

Foglimb Opera sod his autborskip of the Life of Killarney,
and would, of course, have taken place at Covent-garde,.
had it sot been that that theatre was no longer in the oocu-
potion of Mies Pyles and Mr. Harrison. The performance
tv.is such as would have been gives at l'oventtgarden, bad

author of Rap R•ea. The libretto, in its form sad ossi-
structioa as wed! as the lighter, and piety of the sub-
ject• is very much in the style of a modern l'aridea
vaudeville; and Mr. Obverses music is of a congenial
character ►nd spirit—melodious and simple, with consider-
able eta ..ss•ea, sod a slight but agreeable infasion of aenti
meat. It was cleverly acted and song by the original per-
("reline, Millie. Jenny Bauer. Mime Emma Heywood, Herr
Reichardt, and Herr Formes. The Ilerman accent sad
elocution of the three foreign performen sounded a little

SPAIN.

"We are able to state," mays the Pays, " that
Morocoo is prepared to pay the second instilment
of sixty millions due to Spain in virtue of the
treaty of Tetuan. As to the question of the limits
of Melilla it may be considered as settled. The
Kabyles who had shown opposition now appear
disposed to obey the orders of the Emperor, and
have decided on sending to him • deputation
to arrange the existing differences."

The Madrid journals of the let announce that
orders have been given to evacuate Tetuan. The
stores were first to leave, sad then the garrison.
In the Congress, on that day, in answer to a ques-
tion put by M. Olozsgs, Marshal O'Donnell
stated it was quite true that four Spanish subjects
had been murdered in Venezuela, from motives,
it would appear, of private vengeance. The Queen's
I government had transmitted the strongest remon-
strances to the French representative, who was
charged with the interests of Spain in that repub-
, lie, praying him to demand in firm terms the
punishment of the guilty parties. The Spanish
cabinet did not consider that the government of
Venezuela could be held responsible for the crimes
in question. If Spanish subjects had complained
of vexatious proceedings on the part of the re-
public, the case would be different ; but in the
present instance, private motives alone seemed to
have actuated the parties. Hence the Spanish
government could not interfere. The matter then
dropped.

PRUSSIA.

Tile pragmatist party haa replied to the circular
of the Mintuter the Interior by ea eddy's! to the
electors, in which we remark the following lines :
- - - -

We rely on the Prussian people that they will not allow
themselves to be disturbed, but will show by the D•W elec.
tions that they have not advocated the liberal development
of Prussia in oousequence of momentary feelings of irrita-
tion, but seriously and with resolution. If we hold firmly
to constitutional right, to the reality of constitutional insti-
tutions, sod to the success of progress, the period of trials
will be abridged, the lest hopes of reaction destroyed, and
the union between the people and the government, which
cannot be interrupted bet to the detriment of the country,
will be »established.

;‘ The municipal council of Berlin, at ite last sit-
ting," says& letter from tb at city, " resolved unanim-
oualy that all the Four-and-a-Half per Cent. stock held
by the city should be presented fur reimbursement.
That decision is considered a vote of want of con-
fidence against the ministry, and will probably be
imitated by a number of fundholderx, and thus
give • rude blow to the first financial operation of
M. Von der Heydt."

Arau. 5.

The ease was resumed this morning.
The evidence that was leosOf forward to-day was pretty
much the same as that which bad been give° on the previous
day, and consisted of proof that several accidents had been
occasioned.hy the tramway. and as to the general annoy-
ance and IBC012•01161100 that the public peening along the
road sustained by it.
The jury, after two or three boars bad been occupied by
the examination of witnessea, interposed, and inquired
whether it wee nearwaary to proceed further with the view
to prove the inconvenience and obstruction to the public" by
this tramway, as their minds were quite roado up upon the
point. It was also stated that many of the jury were ac-
quainted with the road, and were personally aware of the
inconvenience occasioned by this tramway.
Chief Justice Erie addressed Mr. Bovill, and said he had
heard what had been stated by the jury, and he inquired
the nature of the evidence' he proposed to adduce In answer
to the indictment.
Mr. Bovill said belled a great number of witnesses who
would prove that they wore in the habit of continually
travelling upon the road, and that they bad n ustained
an ineonvenssom by reason at the tramway.
Lord Chief Justice Erie mid he was of opinion that this
would be no answer to an indictment Woe the present, and
that even if it were.proved that 9 poisons travelled safely,
but that the remaining one out of the hundred was *Wan-
maid or put to inconviesienes, that would be quite sulkiest
to support the charge that yam now brought spire the de-
fendant'.
The learned counsel theo conferred together, and it was
=that verdicts of guilty should be taken so far se
Mr. Train and his surveyor, Mr. Rahway, but
that, with respect to the other gentle the members of
the vestry, the verdict should be susp tided until the legal
questions that had beta raised in their behalf by their
leerned counsel, and which involve the point whether per-
sons in their position can, under the circumstanoes, be
legally included so such ea indictment, have been argued.
The effect of the verdict in the case of Mr. Train will, of
course, be that the tramway mast be at once removed, and
the road restored to its original condition.

On the 26th February there were great rejoicings
at Buenos Ayres on account of the recommence-
ment of the works of the railway to San Fernando,
which had been interrupted by the disastrous gale
of August, 1800. A new concession, extending
the period for the completion of the lines (15 miles
only in length) to three years, bad been the day
before granted to the Buenos Ayres and San Fer-
nando -Railway Company (Limited) of London.
The first sod was turned by General Mitre in per-
son, amidst the cheers of a large concourse of the
principal inhabitants. Mr. Eugene Murray, the
contractor, proceeded immediately with the works.

HEAVY MORTARS AT SEA.

The following is a letter dated, United States
Schooner Norfolk Packet, at sea, Ifarch 1 :
Yesterday afternoon we fired our 13-inch mortar for the
first time at sea. The wind was very light, the ma quiet,
and the day Osman! end ninny. In order to make the tainl
sufficiently thorn h, the os loaded Si if for actual
bombardment, with the full charge of twenty pounds of
powder sad a shell weighing over two hundred lionads.
Tbo mortar was trained dhcootly a-beam, and received an
elevatim qf about forty digress. Themachinery for
training the piece is remarkably compact, sad, although
difiloult to understand, with its eccentric and other novel
plasm of boonsougery, seems to work with ism and pre-
cision. The foremen. fontopsaff and the bead sails cd the
eehoceer were lowered away and hauled over to windward.
An the lids rionapatty, except the powder divides, who
wars below attending to their pemdisr dation, mood on
deck, meetly in the rear of the plops. The word to fire
was given, and almost immediately the 'Stooling report
followed. Tbe mortar recoiled eighteen inches, and as the
shell went hamming away all eyes were turned to see it ex-
plode.
The shell was half a minute in its flight, and when it
burst was apparently several hundred feet in the air, and
distant by computation more than two miles. All we saw of
the explorion was the sudden appearance in the sky of •
little cloud of smoke resembling • balloon. Ten mends
after first seeing the cloud we heard the report It
sounded like an answering gun from one of the
ships in the offing. The little cloud slowly increased in
size, and faded away till its outlines were lost.
Several curious incidents attended the firing. The facings
of the bulwarks between the ports on the larboard side, that
from which the shell was thrown were blown off and 611
into the water. Several glass windows were broken in the
ward room, and mashes were violently thrown open. The
partition between the cabin and ward room was started, and
tabled were jostled out of place. Bet thane litW
obviously resulted from the conoussiou of the air caused
the explosion of so heavy a charge, and were not
by the recoil of the mortar. Pe pus who were ou duty
below say that the shook which the vessel felt was less
severe than that attending the discharge of age of oar
32-pounders.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AND RUICIDE AT

DEVOPPOET.

The neighbourhood of Pembroke-street was on
Friday morning thrown into • state of alum by • re-
port that • man named John Heel bad attempted to mur-
der his wife and kill himself. It appears that the unfor-
tunate man was formerly • labourer, but has latterly,
through flu, been rendered unfit to follow his usual employ.
went, and has been dependest upon the exertions of his
wife for support. On Friday, about noon, Mrs. Heal bad
occasion to go down stain, and the children, of whom
there are five, had gone out to walk, the unfortunate man
being left w himself. In the earlier part of the morning he
was noticed to be in a very low state of mind, but there
being nothing very unusual in this it was not thought neon-
ou7 to watch him. On his wife returning to her room she
observed her husband secreted in a very strange manner
babied the door. On her entering the room he exclaimed
" Whet have you coon up stain so soon for r On turning
round, and about to reply, she was very much shocked on
beholding a large quantity of blood flowing from his throat,
and a knife in hie hand. He then said, " I have almost
done it for myeell, and now I will do it for you." He then
ran from behind the door towards his wife with a knife in
his hand and pointing towards her breast. A scuffle
ensued between them, but he being weak through the for
of blood, she soon overcame him, and fortun►tely escaped
with no other injury than a cut on one of her flagon..
She made an alarm, which brought the neighbours to the
spot. Marra Swain and Bennett, surgeons, were intros-
-oitely sent for, and were promptly in attendance, when
it was found that the unfortunate man, John Heal, had
succeeded in slightly cutting his windpipe. The usual
means to stop the flow of blood were then resorted to, but
the man now rue in • dangerous state, it being uncertain
whether he will ever recover from the effects of the wound.

THE PRINCE CONSORT MEMORIAL.

ABANDONMENT OF THE

The committee of noblemea and gentlemen re-
cently nominated by the Queen to advise her
Majesty in the choice and mode of execution of a
design for a National Memorial to the late Prince
Consort have just prawn teil &report upon the subje.ct,
to which General Grey has sent the following
reply :
Osborne, April 19.

My dear Sir Charles, The Queen commands me to
acknowledge the receipt of the report from the committee
aimed by her Majesty to advise her on the subject of the
propos...l national memorial to the Prince Consort.
Her Majesty cannot refuse her assent to the reasons so
clearly and stmegly put forward, in the report which induce
the committee to doubt the expediency of any further
attempts to tied a moeolith that would fulfil the conditions
so which her Majesty'. choice of an obelisk as the distin-
guishing cluiracteristic of the proposed monument mainly
depeuded.
Her Majesty sees, therefore, no alternative but to
acquiesce in the abandonment of the idea of as obelisk, and
to request the committee to turn their attention to the pos-
sibility of finding some other mode in which the peat ob-
ject in view may be moat satisfactorily effected.
Her Majesty's wish is to leave the committee quits has
to recommend whatever may appear to them to afford the
beet hope of a satisfactory result ; end she would manly
throw out as a suggration whether the opinions of seas of
the foremost architects of the day might not be Meseta-
geously taken as to the means of combising the peeps of
statuary mentioned io my letter to the Lord Mayor
' (amongst which of course a statue of the Prince would be
prominent) with some other design.—l remain, yours very
faithfully, C. Our.

THE CONDEMNED SCOTCZ MURDERESS.

In addition to the Dumfries and Maxwelltown
petitions to the Queen for a commutation of the sentence
upon Mary Timoey, petitions have been east to her
C d
liTety for the lame purpose from the Glenkens, the town
of Kirkcudbright, and other places. The female petition
from Dumfries and neighbourhood had 3,187 sumo attached
to it ; sod the gavial petition bore 2,107 signatures. Both
petitions wore sent off by the six o'clock mail of Thursday
evening, and would reach Mr. Heart's London address and
be delivered next morning. The bon. member hastened up
from his country residence, near Devizes, to receive the peti-
tions. Unfortunately, Sir George Grey, the Home
fieretary, has gone to his seat near Muriel
fir the Faster holidays ; but it is hoped this
circumstance will not be prejudicial to the
petitions and that they will receive every
consideration at the Home-office. The member for the
Stewartry, Mr. Mackie, and the member for the Wigtown
burghs, Sir W. Dunbar, are taking an interest in the move-
cunt on behalf of the unhappy convict; and the position
of the latter gentleman as a government official will give
his influeoce additional weight. We learn that the convict
is better in health, and rather less desponding is mind
than at the date of previous 'account.. Theanthorities bete
have, of ours., bees under the nexamity of 'ankles( arrange-
ments for the execution ; and Oaloraft hes been condition
ally engaged to officiate on the dread oocuion. Mr. Ewart,
in a letter dated London, Auil 18, received this morning,
says :—" I called at as early an hour as I could, on the
Under Secretary, Mr. Waddington (in Sir George Grey's
abeence), this morning, having come to town last
night. Mr. Waddington appointed a meeting at two
o'clock at the Home-offioa I met him there accordingly
at that hour, and we had a long conversation on Mary Ilm-
ney's case. I reed him the potations. He alse had the Don-
which indeed was already made public. 1 likewise
mad him your manuscript view of the eau. All the deca-
-1 meets will, according le usage—indeed most—so to the
Lord Justice Clerk. He will transmit hi opinions to Sir
George Grey ; and though Sir George Grey will be in-
fluenoed of course he will not be bound by them. I pre-
sented the two petitions from Dam(nrt'an,, ems from Kirkcud-
bright, and one from Annan. Another is come from
ThornlilL" Mr. Ewan adds that ha has written Is Sir
George Grey. The idea of a deputation to Sir George Grey
having been mooted, Mr. Evart highly approves of it.—
