Lord Mayor Lawrence.

The present Lord Mayor has fulfilled all the claims that
custom had to make upon him, and in less than 12 days
hence will have handed over all the symbols of office to his
successor. It has not been a brilliant mayoralty, for the
simple reason that it has been a quiet time in things extra
civic; there has been no famine, no flood, no great rejoicm
ings, no national or international celebrations—and some
or all of such events are needful to give full scope to the
official capabilities and personals aspirations of a Lord
Mayor. But every duty of the office has been well per-
formed, and the citizens could never bestow their thanks
more consistently than upon the gentleman who is fast ap-
proaching his official demise at the Mansion House.
The usual banquets have taken place, and one, the dinner
to the dignitaries of the Church, having been postponed
fiom its usual data on account of eftliction in the family of
the Lord Mayor, took place a few days since, and successful
beyond expectation—satisfactory evidence of the personal
esteem in which the Lord Mayor is held. But amongst the
round of banquets there occurred one by means of which the
present Mayoralty acquires distinction. On Friday last the
Masters and Wardens of the Livery Companies dined to-
gether at the Mansion House, and fur the first time for
many a long year there was established between the munici-
pality and the guilds something like a bond of fi iendly union.
It has been a matter for regret that, between the Cori.ora-
Lion and the Companies there was "a great gulf fixed ,"
the Lord Mayor has made an honourable attempt to bridge
the gulf across, and has, we believe, succeeded so far that it
only needs further efforts of the same kind to establish tho
relationships that once existed between the twin powers of
commercial and civil rule. That this undertaking was
prompted by a proper recognition of the value and import-
ance of the guilds was made evident in the Lord Mayor's
address on proposing the toast of the evening. Perhaps oven
many of the Liverymen who heard him learnt something new
of the utility of the companies, and the necessity for preserv-
ing them intact and in closer communion with the sources
of civic authority than hes been the wont for a long time
past. Let us hope that this was but the first of a series of
demonstrations in favour of homogeneity in all the details of
civic government, and that the guilds and the Corporation
will hereafter understand each other more perfectly than
they have done. We began this for the purpose of express-
ing, on behalf of our fellow citizens, a sense of thankfulness
for the services rendered by the Lord Mayor during his term
of office, and we have gone a long way round. Nevertheless,
it is meet that there should be something said at such a
time, and we are happy in the privilege of being able to
testify that the Lord Mayor about to retire from office has
given abundant satisfaction in the disposal of the trust re-
posed in him.—City Tress.

The Tunnel through the Alps,

Before the tunnel of Mont Cenis was undertaken, the
most daring engineers did not venture on the construction
of a tunnel one-fifth of its leegth ; and they were espe-
cially careful, by vertical shafts, to provide for venti-
lation. It was considered that, without such a precaution,
even the tunnels then executed would be, at least, highly
injurious to human life. Yet not only will the Alpine
tunnel Le of very great length, but ventila-
tion by vertical shafts is ont of the question, on
account of the enormous height of the mountains
above. Ordinary tunnels are excavated simultaneously
in various parts. Such a mode of proceeding was
impossible in this case, and for the same reason that
ventilation cannot be obtained by means of vertical
shafts—the altitude of the mass above. Hence if the
boring were effected in the usual way, the work would
be exceedingly tedious; it could not be completed in less
than 36 years, on account of the imperfect ventilation, and
the limited number of men that could be employed upon it.
These difficulties have been overcome. Air, compressed by
water power,-obtained at each extremity, is driven through
tubes to the farthest portions of the excavations ; and
thus, not only is pure air supplied in abundance, but
motive power is conveyed to the very place where the
drills are at work. At the northern side there are
twelve of these drills, mounted in a strong moveable
frame; at the southern, somewhat fewer. Each of
them revolves as it strikes the rock, the effect being
produced both by tapping and boring. Each system of
drills can be applied to the face of the rock at any
desired place. They form an opening ten feet wide
and ten feet deep ; this is enlarged to the proper size
by the workmen, after which the walls and vault are
constructed. The work proceeds at about a yard
a day at each end—that is about twice as fast
as if carried on by manual labour alone. At this rate,
twelve years will be required for its completion ; but
it is expected so to accelerate it, after a while, that i,
will be finished in seven. About 1,700 yards are already
executed on the French side, about 1,250 on the Italian.

It may w2ll be supposed that to advance with such accu-
racy, that the two portions of the tunnel may at last exactly
m: et, is a matter rtquiring great care and ingenuity. In-
stances bave occurred, with comparatively short tunnels,
in which the excavators have passed each other by. This
would be a very serious thing in the present case, but it is
rendered impossible by extremely stmple means. A lamp
is placed in the centre of the rock at the inner extremity of
the excavation, and signal posts in the proper direction on
the mountain above. The tunnel is known to run in exactly
the required direction when the lamp and the posts are
shown by a theodolite to be in the same vertical plane;
that is, when the signal posts are seen if the instrument is
raised, and the lamp if it is depressed—the motion being,
so to speak, in a truly perpendicular direction. When the
work is completed the Alps will be passed in half au hour.

terrors of the oath prescribed by Gen. JOHNSTON
as to the presidential election ; but in this case Mr
LINCOLN took the short cut to be done with, saying
that he would be elected in his own way, and let
M'CELLAN try his way back. This was prompt
enough, evincing perhaps more temper than judg-
ment, but of the latter commodity has dispensed
with a great abundance in very questionable jocu-
larity, and was in no mood then to be serious. The
news from the "West was not more reassuring than
from other quarters, for it seems that I.IOOD cap-
tured sev.ral strong places in the rear of SHERMAN
with the whole of the Fed3ral garrisons; while
PRICE was doing the same in Missouri. Nor was
the tide of war confined to their operations, for
Memphis was not considered to be quite safe, any
more than St. Louis itself. As has so often cccurrcd
befor:, on the eve of the departure of the steamer,
rumours were got up for Europe, but in this ease
they were of a more than usually questionable
character, for unless the China had been intercepted
off Cape Race, we do not see how she could have
news up to the 21st, seeing that she sailed from
New York on the 19:h. Yet, by a telegram dated
the 21st, SHERIDAN is stated to have defeated
LONGSTREET on the ISth near Strasburg, and cap-
tured 50 guns, while on that same date SIIERIDAN
reports that LONGSTREET was entrenched at
Fisher's.hill, not choosing to be attacked in the
open field. So much for the veracity of the news-
vendors.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

" FIDELIO."

On Saturday Beethoven's masterpiece," Fidelio,''
was the representation, a treat seldom set before the
public. Leonora has no representative in Europe
who can compare with Tietjens, and this appeared
to be fully felt by the auditory, as proved by the
immense attendance. Santley sung the fierce &cise
matory music of Pizz aro forcibly, Signor Bossi made
an efficient Rocco, and Madlle. Sinico took a high
place in the hearer's favour by the clear, pure, and
perfect style in which she executed the music scored
for Marcellina. Gardoni's Fernando was a pleasing
and artistic assumption ; but it is a character whose
interest is eclipsed musically, dramatically, and per-
sonally by the lustre and prominence of his devoted
wife, in her male assumption of Fidelio. Mr Swift
sang the part of Giacchino, Marcellina's lover and
Rocco's deputy, with care and simplicity, and played
it with judgment and unobtrusiveness. Among the
gems in this opera we may note the canon-quar-
tett, by Leonora, Marcellina, Rocco, and Giacchino,
than which nothing finer has been heard at the
footlights of the Opera since its first performance
under the title of " Leonora" nearly half a century
ago. The delight of the auditory burst forth in a
universal re-demand, and the piece was sung a
second time. The terzatto, too, in the same scene,
" Corragio I orsit was also applauded. The duo
between Pizz aro and Rocco, "Dall'urna delia sorte,"
was sung in a manly, firm, and accented style,
while the accompaniments were spirited and close.
The overture Leonora (No. 3), was excellently per-
formed by Arditi's band.

A DELICATE MlSSlON.—Another remarkable
letter is published in the American papers from,
Francis P. Blair, bearing date at Silver Spring, October 5
1851, which permits us to see something of what is going
on behind the scenes in the intrigues of the Presidential
campaign. This letter was not captured by Confederate
cavalry, but is given to the public by Mr Blair himself, to
set Mr Lincoln right on the question of his having offered a
command to (Lneral M'Clellan if that gentleman woald but
with draw his claims as a candidate for the Presidency. Mr
Blair tells us that he went to New York as a self-a/ pointed
commissioner in the interests of harmony among the friends
of the Union, just as Kirk, alias Gilmore, and the melan-
choly Jacques went to Richmond on the blessed errand of
peace, and, like Kirk and Jacques, he had no authority to
speak for Mr Lincoln at all. Oh, no I The President had
no knowledge whatever that he had left Silver Spring, and
what tie said to the New York editors and politicians was
wholly on his own personal responsibility. Some tender in-
terviews ho hold with the amiable Bryant, the philosophic
Greeley, and the incorruptible Bennet, and with General
M'Clellan he had the pleasure of a long and free conversa-
tion, in which be gave the general 1 o understand that it ho
would resign all aspiration for the Presidency, and wrote to
the Presidant asking a command, that command would he
given him. Gen. M'Clellan promised to p .nder the pro-
positions of Blair, but pleaded the domestic trouble of a sick
child in the country as a probable bar to a second interview.
Mr Blair returned to Washington and made known to Pre-
sident Lincoln the results of his mission, who received them
kindly and courteously, but without indicating approval or
disapprobation. It seems clear enough that Blair did not
make this offer to M'Clellan without an assurance from
guar that it would have Leen ratified at Washing-
ton in ease it was accepted; but M'Clellan was astute
enoulilt to decline. That's all.—The

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This day,

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.
ASSAULT ON A WlFE.—Georgo Williams, an elderly man
of respectable appearance, described as a jeweller, was
charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with assaulting his wife,
Elizabeth Williams, at 42, King-street.
The complainant said—l have been married to the do■
fajant since 1825. Last night about 12 I was in bed when
my ho band caught up a box and struck me on the head a
severe blow, cutting it and causing it to bleed—the on'y
cause for it being that a little boy I have the ears of knocked
down a board on which there were some of his tools—the
child having done so while playing. I should be very
sorry to hurt my husbs nd, as he is an aged man, but I had
given him no provocation, and ho would not give me time
to make an explanation. He also bruised my arms.
Mr Tyrwhitt—Was yout husband sober ?
Wife—l don't think ho vem quite sober.

D,fend‘nt—l am very sorry. I was provoked a great
deal. My joweller's box was knocked down and all my tools
scattered about. I took up tha lid of a box belonging to my
wife to smash it, and she rose up and received a blow on the
head—but it was an accident.

Mr Tyrwhitt—rlas he ever assaulted you before P
Wife—He has ; but I don't want to hurt him.
Mr Tyrwhitt—The best thing I can do is to make the
defendant find bail. It will be the best thing for both of
you.

The defendant was then ordered to find bail to keep the
peace towards his wife for three months.
DETERMINED STREET RODBERY,—Thomas M'Carthy,
a rough looking lad, was charged with stealing a suit of
clothes from a boy named George Turner, in the employ
of Mr Henry 13.ffen, tailor, of Harvey's-court, Strand.
It appears that the boy Turner was waiting at the corner
of Tottenham-court-road yesterday morning about 11
o'clock for an omnibus to Camden-town, when the prisoner
ran up to him and seized a parcel containing a suit of
clothes, which Turner was about to take to a customer, and
made off with it. The prisoner was followed by two gentle-
men and caught, having thrown the parcel away while
running.

A constable said the prisoner eras sentenced to 12 months'
hard labcur at the Middlesex Sessions for picking pockets
in 18G3.

The prisoner was committed for trial.
Thomas Smith, a lad, was charged by Sergeant Coathupe,
of the Detective Department, Scotland-yard, with attempt-
ing to pick the pockets of several females in Goodgc-street,
Tottenham-court-road, on Saturday night.
lie was remanded.

from other quarters, for it seems that HOOD cap-
tured sev4ral strong places in the rear of SHERMAN
with the whole of the Federal garrisons; while
PRICE was doing the same in Missouri. Nur was
the tide of war confined to their operations, for
Memphis was not considered to be quite safe, any
more than St. Louis itself. As has so often occurred
before, on the eve of the departure of the steamer,
rumours were got up for Europe, but in this ease
they were of a more than usually questionable
character, for unless the China had been intercepted
off Cape Race, we do not see how sh© could have
news up to the 21st, seeing that she sailed from
New York on the 19ch. Yet, by a telegram dated
the 21st, SHERIDAN is stated to have defeated
LONGSTREET on the 19th near Strasburg, and cap-
tured 50 guns, while on that same date SHERIDAN
reports that LONGSTREET was entrenched at
Fisher's-hill, not choosing to be attacked in the
open field. So much for the veracity of the news-
vendors.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

" FIDELIO."

On Saturday Beethoven's masterpiece," Fidelio,''
was the representation, a treat seldom set before the
public. Leonora has no representative in Europe
who can compare with Tietjens, and this appeared
to be fully felt by the auditory, as proved by the
immense attendance. Santley sung the fierce declat
matory music of Pizzaro forcibly, Signor Bossi made
an efficient Rocco, and Madlle. Sinico took a high
place in the hearer's favour by the clear, pure, and
perfect style in which she executed the music scored
for Marcellina. Gardoni's Fernando was a pleasing
and artistic assumption; but it is a character whose
interest is eclipsed musically, dramatically, and per-
sonally by the lustre and prominence of his devoted
wife, in her male assumption of Fidelio. Mr Swift
sang the part of Giacchino, Marcellina's lover and
Rocco's deputy, with care and simplicity, and played
it with judgment and unobtrusiveness. Among the
gems in this opera we may note the canon-quar-
tett, by Leonora, Marceliina, Rocco, and Giacchino,
than which nothing finer has been heard at the
footlights of the Opera since its first performance
under the title of "Leonora" nearly half a century
ago. The delight of the auditory burst forth in a
universal re-demand, and the piece was sung a
second time. The teizetto, too, in the same ecene,
" Corragio I °nu was alto applauded. The duo
between Pizzaro and Rocco, "Dall'urna della sorte,"
was sung in a manly, firm, and accented style,
while the accompaniments were spirited and close.
The overture Leonora (No. 3), was excellently per-
formed by Arditi's band.

POLICE INTELLIGENCES—This day,

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

ASSAULT ON A WlFE.—George Williams, an elderly man
of respectable appearance, described as a jeweller, was
charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with assaulting his wife,
Elizabeth Williams, at 42, King-street.

The complainant said—l have been. married to the de-
fendant since 1825. Last night about 12 I was in bed when
my husband caught up a box and struck me on the head a
severe blow, cutting it and causing it to bleed—the on'y
cause for it being that a little boy I have the ears of knocked
down a board on which there were some of his tools—the
child having done so while playing. I should be very
sorry to hurt my husband, as he is an aged man, but I had
given him no provocatit,n, and he would not give mo time
to make an explanation. He also bruised my arms.
Mr Tyrwhitt—Was your husband sober ?
Wife—l don't think he was quite sober.

Defendant—l am v,lry sorry. I w.ts provoked a great
deal. My jeweller's box was knocked down and all my tools
scattered about. I took up the lid of a box belonging to my
wife to smash it, and she rose up and received a clew on the
head—but it was an accident.

Mr Tyr whitt—llas he ever assaulted you before ?
Wifc—lle has ; but I don't want to hurt him.
_ _ _

Mr Tyrwhitt--The best thing I can do is to make the
defendant find bail. It will be the best thing for both of
you.

The defendant was then ordered to find bail to keep the
peace towards his wife for three months.

DETERMINED STREET ROBBERY.—Thomas M'Carthy,
a rough looking lad, was charged with stealing a suit of
clothes from a boy named George Turner, in the employ
of Mr Henry alien, tailor, of Harvey's-court, Strand.
It appears that the boy Turner was waiting at the corner
of Tottenham-court-road yesterday morning about 11
o'clock for an omnibus to Camden-town, when the prisoner
ran up to him and seized a parcel containing a suit of
clothes, which Turner was about to take to a customer, and
made off with it. The prisoner was followed by two gentle-
men and caught, having thrown the parcel away while
running.

A constable said the prisoner was sentenced to 12 months'
hard labcur at the Middlesex Sessions for picking pockets
in 1863.

The prisoner was committed for trial.
Thomas Smith, a lad, was charged by Sergeant Coathupe,
of the Detective Department, Scotland-yard, with attempt-
ing to pick the pockets of several females in Goodge-atreet,
Tottenham-court-road, on Saturday night.
He was remanded.

of harriers belonging to his Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales met publicly, The meet took place about eleven
o'clock in the morning, at Mr Aldridge's,'at Chippenham,
when an extremely large field assembled, the equestrians,
among whom were several ladies, mustering strongly. Col.
Hood, Miss Hood, Miss Seymour, and many of the officers
of the Windsor garrison, were present. Several hares were
found, and the sport, which was excellent, augured well for
the commencement of the season.

A DARTMOUTH SCHOONER SUNK BY THE
SPANIARDS.—The petulant punctillios of the Spanish

flag, when the forts fired into her and sunk her. Fortu-
nately no lives were lost, the captain and crew succeeding
in reaching the shore in safety, Mr Cuthbertson, of Dart 4
mouth, was the principal owner of the vessel,— Western
Morning News.
