HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Somewhat later in the season than usual, but welcome
soon or late, comes the programme of her Majesty's
Theatre for the ensuing year. The summer which is
before us hardly presents the same inducements to ma-
nagerial ardour as those held out in the Great Exhibi-
tion year. We can anticipate no swarms of foreigners
crowding across the Channel, nor, still more profitable,
legions of provincials flocking up to the metropolis from
every nook and corner of England, Ireland, and Scot-
land. Electioneering tronbles, moreover, threaten to
some extent to mar the season, and to break up the gay
period when the West-end is crowded, and all the sights
and all the sounds of London are in full swing; but we
are glad to perceive that Mr. Lumley dismayed by none
of these portents, and after all they may turn out to be
mere portents, is as usual in the field—vigorous and
energetic as of yore; that he has collected all his old

Theatre is the old and chosen home of Italian opera.
nao cnl
those notabilities of Italian song who seem no longer
to be destined to awaken its echoes; while the recollec-
tions of the ballets which it has given to the world—of
the queens of the dance who have sometimes reigned in
individual majesty—sometimes concluded a congress of
terpsichorean sovereignty upon its boards—are all
fraught with pleasurable sensations, which we may be
excused if we are glad to look forward to again. That
Her Majesty's Theatre has a powerful rival to contend
with, is, perhaps, as well for both establishments as for
the public. Either management is kept on the qui vine.
An active and enterprising competition is necessitated.
The old beaten ways are felt to be no longer sufficient
to fill either house. Novelty in matter and manner is
imperatively called for. Artists of continental reputa-
tion are rigorously demanded, and the result is that the
public and the art of dramatic music aro equally bene-
fitted by competition and comparison.
The season of 1852 will, it is announced, commence on
Tuesday evening, the 30th of March. The repertoire for
the season will include the following brilliant list of
operas, to one and all of which the resources of the house
will be able to do full justice:—
Don Giovanni Norma
Nozze di Figaro La Sonnambula
Il Dlatrimonio Se- La Favorite

Of novelties we have two classes—those positively
announced, and those conditionally promised. The first
category does not comprise more than two works, but
they will be found to contain the elements of great ar-
tistic interest, united in one case with those intrinsic
considerations which, although unconnected with pure
art, can hardly fail to excite a lively and natural degree
of anticipation. We refer to the production of a new
grand opera, Casilda, the composition of his Royal
Highness the Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, and the
brother of Prince Albert. This work, after having been
originally produced, as we believe, on the small but com-
plete stage of the Coburg Theatre, was transferred to
the more important boards of Vienna and Berlin, and
there enjoyed a success quite unconnected with the pe-
culiar circumstances of its origin. The reigning Duke
of Saxe Coburg and Gotha is by no means a tyro in
dramatic lyric composition. More than one of his
operas are well known upon the German stage, and we
are glad to have an opportunity of judging for ourselves
a work which, whatever may be its artistic merits, and
we are assured on good authority that they are high, pos-
sesses other and peculiar claims to our notice. The an-
nouncement of the work will no doubt excite a consider-
able degree of curiosity and interest. We have seen
scattered notices of the opera in various continental mu-
sical papers, but without reprodacing their judgments
shall wait for the opportunity of fairly deciding for our-
selves. For the excellence of the ordinary troupe, the
chorus, and the orchestra of the Ducal Theatre in the
little sovereignty of Saxe-Coburg, we can personally
vouch, having had opportunities of seeing both opera
and German tragedy performed on the boards of Coburg
and Gotha.

The second novelty positively promised is an opera,
not actually new, but new to this country, by Flutow,
entitled Martha, and in which it is truly stated that
"Madame Smug has obtained an additional triumph
to her many brilliant successes." Flotow is known in
this country, if we mistake not, only by one opera—his
Ame en Peine which was inefficiently performed some
seasons ago at the Princess's Theatre, but which, in-
adequate as the representation was, made a very con-
sidereal° impression. Flotow's characteristics are a
deep and feeling vein of melody, full of tenderness and
passion, and marked by piquancy and originality of
treatment, while his orchestral scoring is the work of a
consummate musician bringing a strong individuality of
taste to bear upon a thorough command of the resources
which he possesses. The opera of Martha has, doubt-
less, beau written so as to develop the peculiar vocal
talents of its heroine—Madame Sontag—and as such
may be anticipated as a rich and stirling treat.
Among the conditional announcement is one that " an
opera by the great maestro, Meyerbeer, will be, most
probably, produced during the season, written expressly
for Madame Sontag." Of Meyerbeer's operas we can
never be said to be certain until the curtain actually rises
upon them. The "greatf;rneestro" is a very fastidious
personage, and, as he does not write for considerations
of personal advantage, he can always afford to keep back
his productions as long as he pleases, and that is some-
times a tolerably considerable time. However, we shall
be delighted in the present instance to hope for the best;
and whether the hinted work be a re-touched version of
the long promised Camp of Silesia or a perfectly new
opera, the world will be equally delighted to hail it.
Don Giovanni is promised, with a cast which will in-
clude Madame Sontag, Madame Cruvelli, and the new
comer, of whom so much has been said and so much is to
be expected, Mademoiselle Wagner, from Vienna and
Berlin. Madame Sontag will, of course, be the Zerlina,
and Mademoiselle Wagner (as we conjecture) the Donna
Anna. With any distribution, however, including the
three names, the cast will be singularly strong.
Besides the actual works which we have mentioned as
to be produced for the first time, we are promised, in
general terms, " many novelties." The Saxe Cobourg
opera and Flotow's work are only particularized as to
be amongst the earlier.
The company includes all the principal names of last
year with important additions. Madame Sontag we have

We inveighed yesterday against the ratliness of al-
lowing any mistaken economy in the Naval Estimates
to degenerate into niggardliness. Such has all along
been to us matter for very serious solicitude in the
midst of our unaffected anxiety to witness a rea-
sonable diminution in the amount of our annual
expenditure. IV4 have dreaded lest the more en-
th.
ueiaetic advocates of this decrease should, through
what
we could not but regard as a very dangerous
s°licitude, exert themselves to bring about reductions,
in reference to the maritime service of England, such
as must necessarily prove, in the ens?, most disastrous,
if it were notiltinaatelyfound to be absolutely irre-
trievable. Instead
of enervating the defensive power
of the empire in this particular, we would see it, on
the contrary, thoroughly re-organized' and very con-
siderably re-invigorated. So far from consenting to
witness without protest any such ill-judged and
perilous retrenchment, We haveto
the m
beenan long in readi-
ness to evince, in regard
agement of the
Royal Navy of Great Britain, a
tupreference even to a
munificence of expenditure that tbe designated
by some as extravagant. Rather than see the force
upon which our very existence, as
an insular
power, is mainly dependent, we should be willing—
advocates
of economy though we. are—to countenance
a disbursement of an almost prodigal deecription, i 3
consequently with regret that we observe the arguthe,,,,
of this very mistaken system of retrenchment put
forward not only in the House of Commons, but
subsequently in the columns of a morning Contem.
porary, by the Hon. Gentleman the representative of
Tavistock. It would appear that Mr. TEELAWNY is
desirous that no misapprehension whatever should be
entertained as to what he really observed in the popu-
lar branch of the Legislature, insomuch that he
appeals to the Times to repeat yet more explicitly
what might not be sufficiently comprehensible in
the peges of Hansard—he invokes the aid of Journal-
ism to render yet more clear the records made by
the short-hand writers of Parliament. Hence the
letter published elsewhere in our columns of this
evening, in which the Member for Tavistock en-
deavours to show that another million and-a-half
might he spared to the nation from the Naval Esti-
mates, already reduced since 1847 by 2,000,0001. ster-
ling ! Seeing that the moneys were on Monday night
actually voted, it certainly appears to us rather ill-
timed and superfluous to demonstrate that 4,000,000/.
would be ample for the annual support of the mari-
time department, in lieu of the 5,700,0001. virtually
accorded to the Admiralty within the last forty-eight
hours by the House of Commons for the ensuing
twelve months.

that everything was done before any necessity should
arise. Others might pause from real uncertainty as
to how they would wish to bequeath their property,
being too much busied in acquiring fortunes to think
seriously of the ultimate disposition. Some avoid
the small pecuniary outlay incident to the prepara-
tion of their wills, while the great majority are in-
fluenced by the dislike to think seriously on so
unpleasant a subject, and perhaps a superstitious
feeling secretly indulged in. The result in every,
case is the same. It was only when the emer-
gency actually arose that the omission was felt.
But professional advice or assistance could not then
be obtained. It was therefore essential in such cases
to dispense with all formalities, to look only to the
substance, and to give effect to the intention of the
testator whenever it could be fairly arrived at,
adopting only such precautions as might be deemed
essential for the prevention of fraud.
Such was the case until the Statute of Wills (1

Vic., cap. 26), which came into operation on the Ist
day of January, 1838, and by which
certain formalities were rendered necessary
in the execution and attestation of wills. The

principal features of the new law were, that
every will should be in writing, signed at the end or
foot thereof by Me testator, in the presence of two or
more persons, who should, in the presence of the tes-
tator, affix their names as witnesses. It has, however,
been found that some one or more of these compara-
tively trifling points are but too frequently dispensed
with, so that wills which could not be impeached on
any other ground become inoperative. Many Learned
Judges have expressed their deep regret at being
compelled to disregard the clear and unequivocal ex-
pression of the testator's wishes on some merely tech-
nical difficulty by which the objects of their bounty
were reduced from a state of comparative affluence
and comfort to poverty and destitution. Persons of
even the highest rank were not exempted from these
mistakes, and we believe that her late Majesty Queen

- ,
ADELAIDE was included among the number.
The LORD CHANCELLOR has introduced a Bill to
remedy these acknowledged evils, which last night
received a second reading in the House of Lords.
The Noble and Learned Lord directs attention to
three
points which require amendment, and we can
scarcely suppose that there can be any dif-
ference of opinion as to the propriety of any
or either
of them. The first and most
important topic relates to the signature of the tes-
tator. Lord ST.
Lto
riAnns denies that the execution
should in that respect depend on " the rule of law,
and not on the rule of space,. and that if the signs -
tu re
be affixed with the bona fide intention of giving
validity

We have the authority
of heretoforehis lower
for the assertion that
upon the
construction
that the name should immediately
follow
"hundreds of wills have the disposition been
held invalid, and misery and wretchedness have
found their way to hearths where wealth, and
Peace,
and comfort, ought to have had their habitation?,
The principle appears indisputable that " a will should
be considered valid and sacred where the form only
is impeached, and the substance is not objected t 0.,,
We trust, then, that the most inveterate advocate for
an early dissolution will acknowledge the propriety
of the most speedy remedy practicable, and give every
possible facility to the passing of the measure of the
Bill during the present session.
The other points relate merely to the attestation,
and although there are not by any means so many
cases of invalidated wills in consequence of
the existing rules as of that relating to the signature,
they are no less objectionable in point of principle,
and equally require amendment. For instance, the
signature mast be made or acknowledged in the pre.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
Notwithstanding that the supply of English Wheat on
sale in to-day's market was very limited, the demand
for all descriptions, owing to the thin attendance of
buyers, was in a depressed state, at about Monday's
prices. Nearly the whole of the country markets held
yesterday were lower, for both Wheat and Barley. The
show of Foreign Wheat was again moderate; neverthe-
less, the amount of business doing in that article was
trifling, at barely late currencies. Floating cargoes were
in fair request chiefly for Rolland. Fine Malting Barley
realised full quotations; but grinding and distilling
sorts, including Malt, commanded very little attention.
We were scantily suppliEd with Oats, for which the
inquiry was tolerably firm, at full prices. Beans, Peas,
and Indian-corn were dull, and almost nominal. Flour
moved off heavily, yet, as an advance of three francs
per sack has taken place in the quotations in Paris,
holders refused to submit to lower prices.;

obliged to submit to a further reduction in price. The

Gulph and low quality, fine and good fruit being scarce,
or, if offered for sale, not finding an adequate price.
" Notwithstanding the late extensive shipments of old
fruit from this part to the ccntinent, and the fact of
several direct cargoes of Island Fruit being on
the way thither, there is still a good inquiry from Hol-
land, where several cargoes of Island and good Patras
were purchased last week, not so much for immediate
resale and consumption as for investment by capitalists,
whose attention has been called to the extraordinary
low price of the articles. The decline in Currants in
this market since the commencement of the present
season has been about 20 to 25 per cent. on the long
price, but as our Customs' duty now constitutes one half
or more of that price, this decline is equivalent to 50
per cent., and in some instances 60 per cetit., upon the
original cost price in Greece."
Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy's Circular, dated New
Orleans, February 28, and published by Mr. James
Irvine, of Liverpool, gives the following particulars re-
lative to the state of the Cotton Market:—" Our last
Circular,dated 14th inst., advised great briskness in our
Cotton Market; the transactions have since been quite
extensive, amounting to 93,300 bales during the past
fortnight. Prices have fluctuated slightly, and are now
about the same. Our last accounts from Liverpool
(11th inst,) announce a small decline in that market, bat
as its cause is ascribed to large arrivals, without any
discouraging feature in trade, this news has scarcely
produced any effect here; we may from time to time
yet have irregularities in our rates, but we persist in
our opinion that no permanent, material decline can be
looked for while the present general demand continues
to prevail, and freights and exchange remain favourable,
as at this present moment, combined with the light stock
for sale. Our receipts during the last two weeks sum
up 95,639 bales. We quote ordinary to good ordinary,
61 to 7; low middling, if to 71; middling, 7i
to 74; good middling, 7i to 8; middling fair, 6f
to 8i; lair, 8; to 9. Sales during the two weeks,
93,300 bales. Receipts at this port, 872,515 bales,
against 696,538 bales last year. Increase of receipts at
all ports, 163,184 bales. Increase of total experts to
Great Britain, 103,274 bales. Increase of total exports
to France, 26,146 bales; and to other foreign ports 2,673
against last year."
The public sales of Colonial Produce have been of very
limited extent to-day, and scarcely any auctions are
announced fur to-morrow. The stock of tea in London
on the 16th instant was ,38,580,0001b5. against
29,050,0001b5. at the corresponding period of last year.
An official statement of the amount of loans ande by
the Commissioners for Public Works has been com-
pleted tip to the Ist January, 1852:—The sum advanced
for canals, rivers, and drainage, was 1,261,5001. at 5
per cent, 208 500/. at 4 per cent.; for harbours and
docks, 495,6001. at 5 per cent., and 89,5001.

ings, 327.500/. at 5, and 164,000/. at 4; and poor-law
union workhouses, 2,133 710 at 5 per cent. These ad-
vances were for Great Britain. For Ireland, 901,000/.
were advanced for railways at 5, and 450,0001. at 34
per cent.; about 130,0001., chiefly at 3i, for harbours
and canals; 52,5001 for law courts, &c., at 5 and 4 per

without interest.
Fully previous quotations were obtained yesterday
afternoon for Bills of Exchange on the principal conti-
nental cities. Paris, 90 days, was taken at 25 50 to
55; Amsterdam, at 12 01 to 12 lf ; Hamburgh, at
13 10; to 111; and Trieste, at 12 40 to 45.
The amount of bills drawn by the East India Com-
pany from the 6th to the 24th inst. was 197,378/. 4s. 6d.,
159,600/. 18s. 9d. on Bengal, 34,726/. Os. 9d. on
Madras, and 3,651/. ss. on Bombay.
The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 22d inst. was
feeble for Dutch Stock, bat business was tolerably
animated in the Two-and-a Half per Cents. at 60 1-16
to t.

The English Stock Market has been very firm, and
the highest prices of yesterday are readily obtained.
Consols have been 981 g for Transfer, and are
98 I for Account. Exchequer-bills have risen
to 675. and 70s. and India Bonds to 75a.
premium. When Consuls get over 99, they will as-
suredly further rise to par, it is considered, but there is
usually a check when the price gets to an even figure,
and parties realise. It is not expected that the Bank
of England can delay beyond the period of the April
dividends, a reduction of the rate of diecount.
Foreign Securities have been very well sup-
ported. Mexican are 321 to j-. Equador Bonds are
5i to I. Buenos Ayres; Stock is up to 741 to 76.
Brazilian New Bonds have realised 99/. Chi-
Han Stock is at 106 to 1061. Portuguese
Four per Cents. are worth 351 to 36. Spanish Five
per Cents. have further advanced, being 26 to 4, and
the Three per Cents. are 43i to 44k. The New Deferred
are 191 to 20. Grenada Bonds bring 10} to 1. Dutch
Two-and-a Half per Cents. are 61, and Belgian Four-
and-a-Half per Cents. 93/.
The Railway Share Market is very good, and both in
the home and foreign lines there have been numerous
transactions.
Gold Mine Shares are very firm, but still quiet.
The Port Philip and Colonial Gold Company have
agreed to accept their charter on the terms offered by
the Board of Trade.

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.
On Sat'', day last some very curious experiments were,
made at this establishment in the presence of several
scientific, gentlemen to test the results of a recent invert'
ob-
thin of Dr. Bachhoffeer, for which patents have been
tallied by the inventor and Mr. N. D4rics. The invee:
tion consists in the substitution of thin pieces of m-
in in the place of coal in fire-grates, which being acted uP°lcli
by a small. jet of gas, immediately become red hot an.
emit a prodigious degree of heat. The flame,
ent of
produced by the proper hut very simple manage!" the
the gas co-operating with the metallic bit/1111A givej

scarcely be distinguished from it. The heat which is
gulated by turning the cock of the gas-tube. There 1:
no deposit of soot, [3O smoke, nor any of the annorylesA
which attend coal fires, and the gzs can be extingulsbeZ
instahter, or the fire kept as low as may be convenl:4
It will be seen that this useful invention is of gen ras
interest, and not only as affects private houses, Where
affects breweries, manufactories, and all places f
large fires are required, and by its adoption the use of
enormous chimney's might be dispensed with, as no sucrfor
is generated. The expense with the gas now liseabout
lighting would render a fire on this new principle ore
the same expense as if coals were employed, but 11
a rest
what is termed non-carbonized gas employed,
diminution of expense would be obtained. Te inr es-
tion is of public importance, and is well worth the st.e
Lion of the public.
