navigation would be complied with. A temporary
bci Ig, would bc. neu,saey. No existing
would,be disturbed. The external appearance of the
bridge might be fashioned by the highest architectural
art; its stability and severer conditions might be in-
trusted to experienced and responsible men. A straight
line of road might be carried from the Westminster to
the Lambeth tide; and, if it were thought desirable to
give to Bridge-street and to Lambeth-road a width equal
to that of the new bridge, it could be done at any con-
venient time by funds properly raised for local purposes,
without taking more moves' out of the national purse'
than it ought to supply for building the bridge itself.
Such conditions as we have here sketched have in
fact been embodied in the design which we have seen,
and which has been submitted to the Commissioners now
about to introduce a Bill into Parliament for reconstruct-
ing Westminster-bridge.—Times.
[Although the suggestion cf our Contemporary is in-
unions to some extent, we must nevertheless maintain,
as we have always done, the folly of preserving such
immediate proximity to a site which has already sunk
(literally sunk) so much of the public moneys. Let the
new bridge be constructed upon a plan altogether dif
ferent, and in the situation which we have already our-
selves more than once indicated: and then London, or
rather Westminster, would be relieved from the eye-
sore presented by the present ricketty structure, while
the proposed bridge, spanning the river at a spot suffi-
ciently continguous, might be more in accordance with
the position and architecture of the newly-erected
Houses of Parliament.---En. Sun.]

Bslie's IA op, :a The Sicilian L'r,cle, t4e anneal:es =en:
of which raised much expectation in the musical world,
was produced on Saturday night. The appearance,
after so long an interval, of a great work by the first
English dramatic composer of the day, is, indeed, en
occurrence of singular interest. A house, consequently
densely crowded in every part, attested the importance
justly attached to the production of this opera; and the
acclamations with which Mr. Balfo was greeted on
taking his place in the orchestra showed the sense en-
tertained by the public of his character and reputation.
They were renewed with equal vehemence between
the acts, and again when the curtain ,finally descended.
The opera itself commanded the plaudits that echoed
throughout the house on the intrinsic grounds of a good
story, characteristic music, satisfactory executancy, and
beautiful decoration. e
The scene is laid in Sicily, daring the domination of
Charles of Anjou. The first act deals with the clan-
destine loves of Rodolpho and Bianca, the son and
daughter of the rival houses of San.genaro and An-
dreizzi, which being discovered are likely to end in a
collision of the two factions, th6ugh the domestic irri-
tation of the two houses is terminated by the sud-
den appeal of the elder Andte zzi, who coun-
sla the oblivion of their personal quarrels
and the concentration of their power against the
common enemy, under whose despotic rale they live.
The bargain is sealed by the immediate union of the
lovers, which takes place in a chapel in the vicinity.
The project of throwing off the yoke of France is then
discussed, and Bianca, under the dictation of her father,
writes down upon a paper the names of the conspirators
principally concerned in the pnli,ical movement, and
their plans of action, the act closing with patrietie,
though cautious, shouts on the part et the Sicilian nobles
and their retainers, and the pious appea!s of all on be-
half of-the young couple. In the second act the Mar

of Providence, to give the opportunity to try.
But there is more than this. The retrograde Minis-
ter bas declared his intention not to act, unless the
opinion of the country
is "clearly expressed?' What
is the meaning of this " clearly expressed" ? It
means that he will not do it unless he finds himself in
a minority of less than one to ten. He is to count
noses in Parliament, every three or four hundred of
his own friends sending a nose, and every three or
four thousand of yours. If be is after all in a mino-
rity
of less than one to ten, the prudent man
and benevolent will not act. He will do no-
thing against the " clearly expressed" sense of
the country, only it must be clearly expressed

arrondissement, that " Prince Napoleon wishes the

tending to exercise a bad influence on people's minds
are formallyrprohibited.". The English Prime Mi-
nister says he must have public opinion " clearly ex-
pressed," therefore one wan on his side shall tell for as
much as ten on yours. Where is the difference, ex-
cept that one fraud is founded on new rubbisb, and the
other on old ?

quis of Montino, the French Governor of Sicily, lets us
into the secret that he is enamoured of Bianca. Rather
than, as he says, " brave the anguish which consumes
his breast," he employs a necromancer, Sabanico, to
provide him with a drug by means. of which he may
compass and secure his victim. Taking advantage of a
fLe which brings within his domains all the prin-
cipal Sicilian nobility, Bianca drinks the potion, and
is enticed into a kiosk, where she fells asleep under
the influence of the narcotic. The Marquis, who is
watching her, is startled at seeing her rise in her sleep.
Listening to the words which fall dreamingly from her
lips he learns the dangers with which the French -are
menaced, the poor girl, with continued unconsciousness,
seating herself mechanically at a table, and writing down
upon a scroll the words which she bad written the night
before at the dictation of her father. This situation,
which constitutes the finale of the act, is obviously re-
plete with fine dramatic effect; and this impression was
wholly realised on Saturday night. Nothing could be
more exciting; the interest of the moment receiving con-
siderable augmentation from the struggle:. of Sirena, an
humble friend of Bianca, with the Marquis, who, yearn-
ing to hear all that the unfortunate somnambulist has
to communicate, threatens to stab Sirena, who fore-
pees the peril likely to happen to the Sicilian cause, and
strives madly to awaken the unconscious betrayer of the
secret.

The opening of the third act, in which Montluc
stealthily invades the nuptial sanctuary of Bianca, who
repulses him with fierce and violent rage, and is only
protected by the arrival of her husband, is of little con-
sequence 23 regards the dramatic progress, but it affords
a capital vocal point—a good test of the genius of the
composer, as well as of the vigour and ability of the
artists. In the succeeding scene, the conspirators who
are assembled at the place of rendezvous, a cavern, the
workshop of a rough and unkempt armourer
named Pietro, are surprised, amid their glowing
apostrophes to liberty and their oaths of mu-
tual fidelity, by the sudden appearance in the
back-ground of the French soldiery, headed by
Montluc, who holds the paper in his hand written by
Bianca in her moment of somnambulism. Rodolphe,
groaning with horror, recognises the writing of his wife,
but receives upon his own head the furious taunts of the
Sicilians, who brand him as a traitor and a perjurer;
while Bianca, in an agony'of grief, fruitlessly endeavours
to repress their indignation by wildly proclaiming his
innocence. _ .

The fourth act opens with an interview between the
wretched couple. Bianca listens with terror and amaze-
ment to the infuriate words of Rudolph°, who charges
her with the crime, the consequence of which, to save
her life and honour, he has taken upon himself, though
her passionate tenderness touches his heart and checks
the transports of anger which goad and madden him.
But the denouement is at hand. A masked stranger in-
forms them of the defeat of the French soldiery. It is
Montluo who speaks. He comes to disburden his con-
science—to disclose the mystery which shrouds the scroll,
and has entailed misery and suspicion upon the " Sicilian
Bride;" and the opera, terminates with a scenic tableau
depicting the departure of the French fleet from the now
emancipated land.
The several performers exerted themselves admirably
and successfully. Mr. Sims Reeves came out splen-
didly, and Miss Crichton, Miss P. Horton, Miss Lance,
and Mr. Whitworth did ample justice t. the parts re-
spectively allotted to them. The ballads introduced in
the opera are just those sweet and telling songs that
might be expected from Mr. Balta. The Sicilian Bride
wid prove to be the greatest hit that has been made at
old Drury for a long day, and we are glad that Mr.
Bunn's exertions have at last been crowned by an une-
quivocal and signal triumph. It will be perceived from
the subjoined notices, that we do not stand alone in the
favourable opinion we entertain of this splendid opera.
(From the Times.)
The opera was -placed upon the stage in a liberal and
efficient-style. The scenery was beautiful, the coetumee
and appointments appropriate, the supernumeraries
Abundant and well trained. In short, no eff ,rte were
Tared to insure success; and not to speak of the fre-
quent applause and encores, if the final incidents of the
performancee—an unanimous call for Mr. Balfe, who came
forward and was enthusiastically cheered; a summons for
the principal artists; and another for Mr. Bunn, who,
after the applause had subsided, expressed his gratitude
-to the audience in a short, and emphatic speech—if these
incidents may be presumed to constitute success, the
opera of the Sicilian Bride must be chronicled as per-
fectly successful,

On examining the vacancies created by the late
changes, the ten county Members came from a popu-
lation less than that of Lancashire, and sending in all
23 Members to the House of Commonsi while-Lanca-
shire sends 4 ; being in the proportion of 6 to 1. The
eleven borough Members came from a number of
voters two-thirds of those of Manchester (it is not
practicable to compare the populations, on account of
the University of Dublin bang an
element), and
sending in all 17 Members to the House of Commons,
while Manchester sends 2 ; being in the proportion
of 13 to 1. This is the way things are done. Louis
Napoleon's cannot be much worse. And upon such a
basis as this the Chancellor of the Exchequer

the Minister is a kind of
trout-fishing,

You are born to a new kind of arithmetic; instead
of ten and ten making twenty, ten and ten are to

All this only gOes to prove, what it might have
been supposed the world knew before, that men who
submit to enormous absurdity, will be made enormously
to pay for it. It is not the condition of human life,
that men shall take care of themselves by halves.
The moment a man emerges from the condition of a
New-Hollander, and ceases to live on worms, he must
be a politician and a statesman within the limits of his
sphere of action, or else live on worms again that
somebody else may eat turtle and venison. There is
no help for it ; it is the ordinance of Providence. The
world was not made for men to doze in ; or if they
do, it is decreed that they shall find somebody else
wide awake to work their woe.
It is evidently the object of the present Ministry
to go back as far as they are able. The leaders do
what they can to disguise .
but the underlings can-
not keep the secret. It will only be because they are
stopped, if the Reform Bill, Catholic Emancipation,
Test Act, do not all revert to their original condi-
tions. Their prayer is only for time and fair play ;
that is to say, for being allowed to push their plan as
far as they can. If the first wedge drives, the rest may
go further than was thought of, It will be amusing
to see,—and why should not amusement be picked
out of things evil when
we have done all we could to
binder them,—what wry faces the different sets of
sufferers will make, when
one after another their
noses are brought to the
little grindstone, which might
have been escaped by all with a ' more exercise of
the prudential faculties.

AN OLD RE-
FORMER.
Blackheath, Bth March, 1852.

(From the Morning Post.)
Mr. Balfe has been here even more than ordinarily
successful in his ballads. " Sweet Spirit of my
Thoughts," and " When we Recal the Happy Scenes,"
sung by Mr. Reeves; " Like a Dream that Flceteth,"
and "Friendship and Love," by Miss Isaacs; "'Tie
Mine to Weep," by Miss Crichton; and "The Sorrows
of the Heart," by Mr. Whitworth, are compositions
which will not only prove most acceptable to the
general public, but which- also include many
novel and ingenious points of orchestration and
chromatic harmony, worthy the attention of the
most cultivated musician. Amongst the best con-
certed pieces may be cited the duefs "In the
Silence of Night," and " Here on my Knees," sung
by Mr. Reeves and Miss Crichton; the trio " The Se-
cret now is Solved," sung by Mr. Whitworth, Mr.
Reeves, and Miss Crichton; the air and chorus " Forge,
forge," by Miss Horton, &c.; the unaccompanied chorus
Gather, gather," the duet, " Reply as Briefly as you
Can," by Mr. Whitworth, and Mr. Drayton; the ar-
mourers' chorus " Strike, strike," and the last move-
ments of the finale to the third act. The performance
was excellent. Mr. Reeves, who was in fine voice, sang
and acted magnificently; Messrs. Whitworth and Dray-
ton were highly efficient in their respective parts; Miss
Horton'e charming contralto and intelligent acting con-
tributed greatly to the general effect ; asetilliss Crichton
displayed an amount of passionate energy which fairly
took us by surprise. We were well pleased to discover in
her this valuable quality, but it is our duty to caution htr
against exaggeration—for excess of emotion, or over-
anxiety to give effect to her conceptions, completely
marred her performance of Saturday evening
on several occasions. The little pert of Serina
was gracefully acted and sung by Miss
Isaacs; and the band and chorus did their
duty, on the whole, very creditably. Tae opera was
completely successful, and at its conclusion the principal
singers, with Mr. Belle and Mr. Bunn, were called be-
fore the curtaip to receive the "customary ovations."
(From the Morning Rerale.)
We are not inclined, after a single hearing, to speak
dogmatically• respecting the merits of a' work of such
magnitude; but we received very great pleasure from
many parts of it, and our general impression of the
whole is exceedingly favourable. Of all Balfe's
works it is decidedly the most elaborate. The long
and complicated scenes of concerted music are con-
structed with much artistic skill ; the choruses
are rich iu harmony and full of vigour; and the
instrumentation is highly finished, sad often very
charming and striking in its effects. It is, in short,
a most careful and (what a French critic would
call) "conscientious " work. A considerable change
too, seems to have taken place in Balfe's style--a change
which has been remarked in several composers of the
Italian school. His music has assumed s German char-
acter ; instead of reminding us, as formerly, of Rossini
and Donizetti, he now reminds us of Weber and Meyer-
beer. Not that he is by any means a plagiary from
either; but there are features in his music which makes
it resemble theirs—particularly his greater use than for-
merlynd of chromatic intervals, sudden modulations, and
irregular rhythms. The Sicilian Bride differs as much
in style from the Siege of .Rochelle, as Guillaume Tell
differs from Tancredi. Whether or not this
to sachange is
for the better, we do not as yet feel pre?
red y. The
later style is certainly less popularly atamotive—itis less
melodious in the vulgar sense of the word—it has less of
those smooth, flowing, familiar tunes, .which are
at once seized by the uneducated ear ; but it
will probably be found that it has gained in
exchange more substantial and durable qualities, like
some of those great German works which are gradually
making their way to general popularity. The perfortn-
ance, though liable to the defects of a first night, was ex-
cellent on the whole. Mr. Sims Reeves 'acted the chit_
ractor of Rodolfo with great energy and passion,
and
sang magnificently. Miss Crichton, in the pact of the
heroine, bad immense difficulties to encounter. The
music is full of bravura passagesin the highest, regions
of the soprano scale, taxing heavily the powers of the
strongest voice; and it wf3ist.not surprising that the

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

It is a pity this theatre cannot be enlarged, as it is
becoming "the rage" to such an extent that there is not
accommodation for all who desire to enjoy the adriai-
rable dramatic treat nightly presented by the sove'reign
tact .and judgment of Mr. Charles Kean. A new farce,
by Mr. Taylor, was stamped with unequivocal success
on Saturday night. It bears the name of Our Clerks;
or, No. 3, Fiytsee-court, Temple. The clerks are played
by Mr. and Mrs. Ks-dey, and their masters, two barris-
ters living it, cl...lmbers at No. 3, Figtree-court,, by Mr.
Wigan and Mr. Everett. Toe fan of the piece turns pn
the vagtries of the two clerks, who resolve to " make
merry" during the absence of their matters. With
this view they regale themselves with wine and cigars,
and invite to the chambers two young nursery-maid,,
whom they espy in the Temple-gattlens. In the midst
of their enjisyment one of the "governors" re-
turns home with a lady whom he has just espoused, and
a-variety cf amusing situations occur. The plot, which
is fiill of drclicries and incongruitie:,., is brGaght to a
uonclusion by a complete revulsion in the domestic ar-
rangements of the establishment, one of the professional
gentlemen being made a fool of by the oter, and both
being compelled to feel the indiscretion they have com-
mitted in leaving their property at the mercy of Oar
Clerks. The acting of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley was admi-
rable, each bringing out the character of the two boys
with great force and precision. The effect was height.
ened by.the contrast, which was managed with great
skill and ability. Mr. Wigan was spirited and lively.
Miss Robertson, as Emily Harden, was lady-like and in-
teresting; Mr. Addison, in Bulpit, a good country gen-
tleman. The piece was received with great applause,
and there is no doubt that it will have a great run. Great
credit is duo to the manager and the company for the
way in which the piece was got up. There was no un-
fortunate hitch, no awkwardness BO often attendant on a
first representation.

SPORTING NOTES.
No. CLXXXIIL
ODDS AND ENDS CONCERNING THE
COVENTRY MEETING, &c.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—We are but the creatures of circumstance, and
circumstances have occurred since the publication of my
last note which compel me to alter my opinion very con-
siderably with respect to one horse, and slightly in re-
gard to several others, for the Craven Steeplechase at
Coventry. Victress, whose chance I disposed of very
cavalierly on Friday last, upon a large outlay, and some
of it from the stable too, where they assert that the
race is a foregone conclusion for them, made by se-
veral of the cleverest men upon the turf, has induced
me to consider her chance about as good as -any
in the race. Miss Mowbray, who figures on
the majority of the lists at a very short price, will not
start; it also is very dubious whether either of Osborne's
go to the post. Maria Day is completely knocked up.
Half-and-Half is amiss; and Sir Peter Laurie, Vain-
hope, and Hardwick are scratched. Bourton is reported
to be struck out, which may turn out to be a report only.
I have received no definite information on this head, as
far as I can ascertain the fields will be as follows: .

Coventry Handicap—Merry Peal, Warwick, Ribaldry,
The Clown, Avia, Proudfoot, Brother to Shylock, and
The Queen of Spain.
The Craven Steeplechase—British Yeoman (d), Abd-
el-Kader (d), Peter, Warner, Little Queen (d), Farnham,
O!car, Carrig, La Gazza Ledra, St. Helier, Victress,
Maurice Daley, Jack-of all-Trades, and Seaman.
The Hurdle Race—Bedford, The Drag, The General,
Fazeley, Maria Monk, Kate Kearney, and perhaps one
or two more.

My opinion with respect to the Coventry Handicap
is unaltered. BROTHER TO SHYLOCS, Merry Peal, and
4via being my first, second, andthird. I must throw
over 1141 f-an-Half for the Hurdle R4ce, and stick to
p
THE GENERAL, Maria Monk, and Bedford tor the first
three places. For the Stee
iechase I anticipate seeing
the leading batch at the finish composed of Oscar, La
6-PIZZA Ladra, Maurice Daley, Farnham, and Victress;
and the placed trio in VICTRESS, OSCAR, and MAURICE
DALEY.

'filo betting this morning is of a brisk nature, the
principal events at Coventry and Doncaster having been
touched on rather stiffly. Coventry Handicap-2 co 1
agst Merry Peal, 3 to 1 agst Brother to Shylock, 6 to 1
agst any other. Steeplechase-5 to 1 agst Victress, 6
to 1 taken freely, 8 to 1 agst Ozcar, 8 to 1 agst Maurice
Daley, 8 to 1 agst La Gazza Ladrs, 8 to 1 agst British
Yeoman, 10 to 1 agst St. Helier, 10 to 1 agst Seaman,
12 to 1 agst Peter, 12 to 1 agst Jack of all Trades, 100

lace-6 to 1 hgst The General (taken), 6to 1 agat The
)rag, and 6 to 1 offered agst any other.

tot the past 'TITUTION
year stated that 131 members bad joined,
72 had died, and 5,1 bad withdrawn, making an in-
crease during the year of 8. members. In future, the
previsions of the law, which requires the removal of
those members whose subscription is two yea& in-ar-
rear, will be carried out. The number of subscribers at
present amounts to 3,196, of whom 773 are life mem-
bers. Tbe accounts for the year show a deficiency of
561., which bad to be made up from the unfunded
balance of life subscriptions. It further stated that an
appeal, which, had been made to tho Court of Queen's
Bench against the demand made for rates on the part
of the parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, had been de-
cided against the institution. These proceedings would
entail a further annual expenditure of 1001., in addi-
don to the cost of the trial, which had been met
by a sale of 2001. Three per Cent. Stock.
The council, however, held out hopes that,
by an alteration in the laws end trust deed
of the society they would be relieved from

founded was a rigid construction of the Act of Parlia-
