ll Arne's beautiful cpera Arku-ci.ics, was last even-
in; retired at this Theatre, for the purpose of introduc-
ing a new Mandan:, to public notice in the person of
Miss Austin, a pupil of Mr. T. Viclsh. This young
lady is of vcry !'repo3ses,?ing appearance, her figure is
handsome- an,'l her countenance• expressive, at lent as
far as we could judge from the dirt nice at Which we
voice it; a soprano cf considerable power
and in the upper notes remarkably close. She was ra-
ther timid at first, but soon recovered her self-posses-
stoo, and went through her part to the satisfaction of
a very crowded house. In the beautiful air, "
Mon-
ster eway," she was rapturoUsly encnt ed, and r.lso in
what has always been considered as the trial song of
the "The Soldier 'Fired." la this song
she had an -opportunity of bringing the clear and.
powerful upper cotes Of 'tier' voice into -play, of' which
she well availed herself. The fact of, hor being a
pupil of Mr. 'F. Wels'a is alone a sufficient guarantee that
every thing that can be done in the ;vay of intruction
has neon done, and accordingly we find that she sing,:
with exquisite taste and seicuce—lier shake is beautiful.
At the conclusion of the Opera she was led for vard by
Mad, me Yestris to receive the applause of a croNded
house, and the -Opera was given out for repetition on
F. if;.7 wi:!:out a dis-srntient. Madame Vest ri3 was the
Artaxerxes, and as beautiful as ever. Her "In in-
fancy our hopes and fears" elicited a rapturous encore.
Mr. W. Ilarrisen, who is a very good a tar as well as
singer, made a mosffeeling Arbaees. Wv should like
to hear this gentleman sing sarne--of cur good old English
ballads. " Water parted from the sea" was given by-
hint with great taste and path..s, and its repetition
was loudly cAled for. Mr. Borrani made his first how
on the English stage as Artabanes—he polsesses a poA-
erful bass voice, over which he has a perfect command
—he is a must scientific singer, almost too much so to be
properly appreciated by a mixed audience. Ile was
particularly successful iu the bravura, " Tny -Father,
away," which was rewarded with an award, and 'at the
fall of the curtain he was compelled to come for;varti in.
obedience to calls from all parts of the house. Thu,
scenery was beautiful, and the dresses and gent.-al get-
ting up of the piece bear witness to the taste of the en-
terprising lessee. Covent•gardcn is in this respect the
Olympic on a large scale.

COMMERCIAL RELATIONS BE-
''iLTWEEN ENGLAND AND FRANCE,

, • ; (iProrn the Courtier Francais of Tuesday.)
fr- The negotiations for a commercial treaty between
EnOrnd and Franee, which were to have been resumed
in Paris, remain suspended. A reciprocal tEs!rust
:paralyses the dispositions of the two ' Governments.
The English Cabinet, nor can it be blamed, wishes to
..
have the certianty, previous to sending a special Pleni-
potenteary, that the mission will not again tears out
without any result. On the other hand, the Frencl-,
Cabinet thinks it has given proof enough of its inten.
tions in adjourning the question cf the duties on linen
threads, and shrinks from compromising its dignity so
far as to make new overtures whilst its late ones have
been rcpu!sed. Thus both sides lock on, neither willing
to hazard a step, and Facrificiag, perhaps. the interest o:
two great nations to ideas of each country's dignity.
" In order to vet rid of these difficulties of etiquette,
we would say to England, . You want to be assured,
'previous to ttegociatimr, that France is willing to cede
you the reductions you desire ; Out this you can only
arrive at bydiscus)ion. Mutual confidence in mutual
sincerity must be the principle of all negociations of
the kind. Don't ask of France what France does not
ask of you. Put trust in that public opinion which Ira)
provoked those-preliminaries.
• "To France we would say,' Don't be s!epned by ol;-
itaele3 of mere form. Perhaps you have not mi. lie
enough to- r-move thoe opinions of your insinctri.,
which the conduct of the late Gaveroment has created.
Do not shrink from reiterating to the Ei.3lish Govern-
ment the for-inal wish to resume negociatioris. Time
proposals that Me. Thomson rejected Mr. Labouchere
may accept. Though national dignity requires de
fercnce, essential affairs should not._bp obstructed by
puerilife3.'
" The- press 'of the two countries is also to blame.
Thre London- jOurnals have nol'insieted :with that energy,
which they usually employ,on ntiest.junsiatf national in-
terest, go the necessity 9r 9lte9flipArgornmcreial rela-

" Although we live with England," SAT3 La Pressc,
E' in terms of amity, and all thoughts of :ear be over,
nevertheless- to confound the—nothmerei A interests
of France with thOse of England would be an

try, which has its markets in 'the two Americas
and'Oe the. Continent. Our fabrics, lees advanced
than those of England, will one day compete vs ith
the English ;. and then the struggle will be one of ad-
vantage for us. The natine of our manufactures and
exportltions is such as renders all alliance with Eeg-
land impossible. The sOthe thing cannot be said of our.
connection with Russia, or the central and south: rn
States of Europe. Our transactions with Serdinin ere
as considerable as those with England. With Spain,
French commercial relations have increased,' notwith-
standing the civil war. With Germany, with Russia,
with Austria, France might extend her relations," Sze.
" This article," continues the Coure:cr Francais " is
nonsense from beginning to end, and coetains as many
blunders as words. First, how is it possible to keep up
political relations with a country with which you wage
commercial tsar? Prohibitions and high tariffs cause
reprisals. If we shut our ports to the cottons and me-
= iils'of England, the English Government will esekrde
-out wines, brandies, silks, and Parisian articles. There
jiesOrtaing.on both sides, and complaints and menaces 1
follow. It we arc to have co commercial alliance with -
Eiii,liin'd, let us expect no political alliance. If the al.
liar,:e with England be advantageous, let us not make
half an allkNegikat,a whole one. Nothing cen be more
1 untrue than ihe prcvnded opposition of interests. le

linen, an moo' —SD they do to Lancashire. We weave,
vim, etii rok,l, but only so far as this takeS place in
otiliddimtries. And if we should shut ourselves out
froln Englard, the same reasons would, make us treat
'Atli
-other countries—with SN'itzerland, Belgium, with -
all who manufacture better than ourselves. The doc-
trines of La Pressawouldisolate Franco from the world,
and form a blockade round her. Instead ofthis if we
exatrime realities, it will be seen that England vr,ints
precisely what. France can spare, and France what Eng-
land can export. England would gladly take our wines,
spirits, silks, fancy stuffs,. articles of fashion and furni-
ture. Sbe would send, us thread, coal, iron", common
stuffs, machines. On one side is a trade of articles of
luxury ; on the other side, articles of common consumn-
tion. We may have some manufactures the same as
England, but if England can furnish them cheaper, why
should we pay dearer for thern to the home manufac-
turer? We have waited long enough for time eerfeetion
and progress of the home manufacturer ; Ile will only
improve when he is forced by actual competition. Oer
relations with England, notwithstanding the mutual
obstacle of high duties, have increased. In 1837 the
exports and imports united of our commerce with Eng-
land amounted to 111 millions of francs.
" Taking into account the 18 millions that came
through Belefum by contraband, time commerce be-
tween France and England cannot be estimated at less
than 150 millions, French commerce with Ileleium,
deducting what comes from England, does cot surpass
95 millions ; its commerce with Sardinia is not more
than 98 ; that with Spain not more than 72 ; that with
Germany, 53 ; with Switzerland, 52. These relations
may no doubt increase, but why should they increase
to the exclusion or detriment of England ? Can we re-
(Nee our tariffs for one country, and not for another ?
Differential duties 'are war—war for cotton and smear.
The English people sell and buy more than any other
people on earth. England has interests that we are trot
bound to faVour, but which we need not oppose either.
If we trent with other nations before are treat with
England, we shall have her for an adversary in our
transaction. On the contrary, if we open our markets
to England, it can no longer regard with jealousy the
extension of French alliances on the Coritinnt. We
have. shared with England the political guardianship of
Europe-. It would be folly to insist at this time. of day
on a monopoly of industry and trade, even in favour of
our own producers."

by pu6ll:ng these pretensions may let them ar.ap

warning against party churchmanship. But ave.ehd not
say it, though the Times pretends so, as expressing
cur own opinion that the Church had intended to
impede the progress of national education. We do not
impute that intention. But "the stigma of having impeded
,he progress of national education" will, nevertheless,
eat on the Church, so far as its recognised leadurs

a larger description, has been caught during this summ: r,
than in any preceding year since the estAlishtnent

tlemen who annually frequented these streams have
been highly gratified with the excellent sport affirdutl
by the abundance of fish taken, having seldom reterecd
from the waters without a basket well stored nith
beautiful trout. Colonel Childers, during the Mayfly
season, killed, in six or seven days, no less than ninety
fishes, weighing altogether. 160 lbs. —and other gentle.
men were ecpially successful. Mr. Richardson, of this
place, -booked- a very fine and large trout—d which a
present was made to the Hon. Marmaduke Langley, of
