Mr. C. BERKELEY objected to the constitution of the
committee.

Sir J. PAKINGTON believed that it was the general
practice to have both sides of the house represented in a
committee. In this case, with two or three exceptions,
the members of this committee were taken from the other
side.

Mr. W. PATTEN suggested that the hon. member for
South Cheshire would be a valuable addition to the com-
mittee.

Colonel MURE assured the house that in the selection
of the committee it had been endeavoured to procure the
services of those who took an interest in it, without refer-
ence to political considerations. Applications had been
made to two or three gentlemen sitting on the opposite.
side of the house, and on their declining to serve, the
committee was constituted as it now appeared before the
house.

Mr. HENLEY did not think the objection unimportant,
as the repOrt of the committee might lay the foundation for
an expenditure of public money.
Colonel MURE had conceived that expenditure of public
money would be a collateral question.
After a few words from Mr. &THERON,
Colonel MURE withdrew the motion for the present.
Mr. C. BERKELEY then gave notice that he should
move " That it be an instruction to the committee to in-
quire into the expenditure of money for the purchase of
pictures for the National Gallery."

ITALY.

The Messaggere of Modena publishes a decree of
the Duke of Moderia, dated the 17th, in which,
after alluding to the dangers arising from the reck-
less attempts of secret societies against legitimate
sovereigns, it is enacted that all political offences,
including insults to public functionaries and the
military, wearing revolutionary cockades or other
tokens, seditious songs or cries, &c., are to be sum-
marily judged by military commissions.
The Augsburg Gazette contains a letter from
Rome, which declares that the Pope has pro-
nounced in favour of the journal, the Univers, on
the appeal of M. Veuillot, against the censure
passed on it by the Archbishop of Paris.
A letter from Rome of the 20th says :—" The
Pope opened this morning at St. Peter's the series
of ceremonies of the Holy Week. 'The congrega-
tion was extraordinarily great, and in it were
several French officers and soldiers."
The Finance Consulta of Rome held its last
sitting on the 18th. It has reduced the deficit of
1,500,000 piastres (1,325,000 f.), by savings amount-
ing to about 720,000 piastres (3,996,000 f.), and has
recommended the government to contract a debt
of 800,000 crowns (4,440,000 f.) It has also au-
thorised it, in case of necessity, to cause one quarter
of the land tax, estimated at 400,000 crowns, to
he paid in advance. " His Holiness," says a letter,
" declares openly that of all the institutions which
the necessity of the times compelled him to try,
the only one which had responded to his ideas and
realised his hopes is the Consulta. The members
of the Consulta are of opinion that when closely
examined into, the financial situation does not
warrant the excessive fears which have been raised
respecting it, and which they for a time entertained.
They are convinced that with order and good man-
agement the ordinary resources will suffice to esta-
blish the equilibrium. The Consulta has com-
plained that the salaries of the functibnaries, which
in 1830 were 1,100,000 piastres (6,105,000 f.), rose
to 1,300,000 (7,125,000 f.) in 1846, and at present
amount to 2,100,000 crowns (11,655,000 f.)"
A letter from Rome, in the Parlamento of Turin,
states that, although the Papal Minister of Finance
had fixed the Ist of January, 1851, for the collec-
tion of the new tax on trades and commerce, com-
plaints against it flowed in so numerously, that the
Pope directed a new revision of the tariff, being
the third since the original enactment. The defi-
nitive tariff is now published, and the tax is to be
collected immediately with the arrears from Janu-
ary 1, 1851.
The French court-martial at Rome has just con-
demned a woman, named Santa Manganelli, to five
years' imprisonment in France, for attempting to
kill three French soldiers.

STRAND

At this favourite little theatre last night the perfor-
mances commenced with Bickerstaffe's lively opera of
Love in a Village. There were a few minor incidents
which might call for a critical review, but regarding the
production as a whole, great praise must be awarded to
it. Every part was intrusted to a meet representative,
and the principal characters were in able hands. After
the opera came the National Anthem by the entire com-
pany, admirably rendered, and all concluded with Lee's
well known musical farce, The Invincible& It was
played with spirit and propriety, and met with great ap-
probation.

SURREY.

The Easter piece at this theatre is entitled The Spirits
of the Night, or the Legend of the Lake. The complica-
tion of the plot almost baffled our pursuit, which was
every ten minutes or so further checked by the sudden
death, by murder or suicide, of one or more of the indi-
viduals whose continuity of existence seemed dramati-
cally expedient • and as none of. these—with one excep-
tion—came to life again until the last scene, we began
to be apprehensive that the development would altoge-
ther fail by reason of the total want of personages to
fulfil it. There is, of course, plenty of " comic business,"
efficiently rendered by Messrs. IL Widdicombe (a very
clever comedian), Mr. A. Younge, and Miss Lebatt, and
there is some really good scenery, and mechanical illu-
sions and effects.

APPENDIX,

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM NICHOLAS GRAY. U.S., Surveyor to th
Hon. T. 0. LARKIN. Dated Hamilton, June 1 1 th, i 852.
" With this you will receive a small box of specimens of gold-
bearing quartz. The specimens here sent are not selected specimens,
because I wished to inform you correctly, or within the truth, so as
to bear future examination. I saw much richer specimens.
" This was dug out of a hole about 1% miles from Phcenix Mill
known as the Bloomingdale ledge or lead."
It is stated by Mr. Larkin's agent in this country that the box was
sent unopened from San Francisco to London, and assayed by John-
son and Matthey, and that in the specimens no gold was visible to
the naked eye. The report of Messrs. Johnson and Matthey is as
follows :

" Assay-office, 79, Hatton-garden, London,
August 25, 1852.

"The box of gold quartz had half of each piece taken off, and the
whole crushektogether ve-y fine, giving grains of gold, which would
not pass through the sieve, equal to Soz. 10 dwt. of fine gold to the
ton of 20 cwt. The fine powder produced, by assay, gold equal to
oz. 10 dwts. of fine gold to the ton of 20 cwt.
"JOHNSON and MATTHEY."

20 oat the presentprice of fine gold—vie., 84s. 7 d. per ez.—
glees a value of about 841. to the ton of 20 cwt.
It is intended that the machinery to be erected by the fftther
River Company shall be capable of washing and reducing the same
eantity at least of gold ore per annum as is minded and crushed by
the celebrated St. Juin del Rey Company of Brazil. viz., about
60,000 tons per annum. The average produce of gold per ton, ob-
tain. d by that company, as per their pnbl shed reports, gives a tune
of 11. 115. per ton, of ore only as contrasted with the above extraor-
dinary produce of 841. per ton. An average produce per ton of ore
of one-tenth only of this sum—say 81. per ton—Mist yield profits
much larger than the 20 per cent. dividend anticipated by the direc-
tors.

SADLERS' WELLS.

The favour with which the productions of the most
brilliant period in the history of English dramatic litera-
ture have always been regarded at Sadlers' Wells was
evinced last night by the selection of the Merchant of
Venice and the comedy of Rule a Wife and Have a Wife,
without the admixture of any pieces of more modern date.
The audience had, therefore, the satisfaction of-receiving
such an evening's entertainment as their ancestors en-
joyed in the Elizabethan age, when the works of Shake-
spear and of Beaumont and Fletcher had the charm in-
deed of novelty, but cannot be supposed to have had the
advantages in performance which the more ample re-
sources of modern theatres render it possible to secure.
The house was full.

MR. WOODIN'S CARPET-BAG.

Not least among the entertainments of Easter, for all
who love real fun and drollery, must be reckoned the
admirable monopolylogical performances of Mr. Woodin.
Though engaging to meet single-handed the public ap-
petite for amusement, he is a host in himself, not meta-
phorically, but really, actually, and in downright literal
language, for instead of being "two single gentlemen
rolled into one," he is nothing less than one gentleman
rolled out and cut up into a railway-train-full of men,
women, and little boys. He is a servant-maid out of
place " on account of her followers," an octogenarian old
gentleman, who sings of the olden time ; a burly M.P.,
with a horror of election committees ; an inquisitive
juvenile of three feet nothing ; a mysterious foreigner ;
a lackadaisical young lady ; and, by way of conclusion,
a whole pic-nic party of some dozen individuals at one
and the same time. His personations are exceedingly
clever, and throughout a long entertainment never suf-
fers the attention of bis audience to flag for a single in-
stant—in itself a safe sign of excellence and talent.

THE COLOSSEUM.
The Easter attractions at this old and sterling exhibi-
tion are as powerful as ever. The fame of the extraor-
dinary panoramic view of London, for which the Colos-
seum has so long been renowned, is too widely spread
to require any addition from us. Both as a work of art
and as a truthful representation of one of the most extra-
ordinary scenes that was ever spread out before the eye
of the artist, the view of London at .this place well re-
pays the trouble of a visit. In addition, there is the
panorama of " London by Night," with .the strange and
pleasing effect of the long lines of streets crossing one
another in every diversity of direction, lighted up by
innumerable spangles of lamps, so that the plan of the
huge city is as well, if not more clearly, defined than by
the broader glare of day.
London, England, 1853-03-29

bably be that these delicate and important questions will
be brought before inferior tribunals, where the number of
the judges (each acting separately) will render anything
like uniformity of decision upon the circumstances which
are to rule in refusing applications impossible, and must
ultimately lead to extreme facility in obtaining such
divorces.

For these reasons I am unable to concur in the report
agreed upon by the other commissioners in all that relates
to divorce a vinculo, as in my opinion it is expedient—
That the law of England, which now holds the marriage
tie to be indissoluble, should remain Unaltered ; and
That the practice of passing exceptional laws in favour
of particular cases should henceforth be discontinued.
I concur in the other recommendations of the report.

ADELPHI.

--- ---
The Easter fare at this theatre last night consisted f
no less than five pieces, enough to satisfy the most ra-
pacious appetite for dramatic entertainment ; all, how'
ever, with the exception of the first, were reproductions,
the only difference being some variations in the respect'
tive castes. The first piece is an agreeable trifle, under
the title of Webster at Home in A delphi Fare of Three
Removes and a Desert. It introduces the audience to
familiar acquaintanceship with the ladies and gentlemen
of the Adelphi corps in propria persona. They assemble
in the green room of the establishment, in obedience to
" a 11 o'clock morning call," to hear a new pice react
Madame Celeste acts as president on the occasion, and
is supported by Mr. Gallott, the prompter, that Mrs-
Harris of the Adelphi, who, though most indefatigable
in his particular vocation, seldom ever emerges beyond
the scenes to let the public have a glimpse at one who
takes so important a part in contributing to their amuse-
ment. Each "principal " arrives with some laughabl?,
apology for being late, a merry joke at the "early call,
and an expression of curiosity to know the name of the
author who has roused them at so unseasonable an hour.
Some give vent to their peculiar likings and disliking's
—Paul Bedford is tired of playing Blueskins and Jona
than Wilds, and wishes to enact the part of a sentimental
lover, Mrs. Seeley longs for something in the genteelline,
and o.'Smith abandons the study of demonology for "the
love of the angels," and thinks he could "do" a cha-
racter in a higher walk of the drama. The veritable
author of the new piece turns out to be the veteran 11,1 r.
Webster, who,

applause with which the audience greeted Mr. Webster s
acknowledgments of past favours, and his promises .of
continued exertion in catering for the public taste. "V.

SADLERS' W ELLS.

The favour with which the productions of the most
brilliant period in the history of English dramatic litera-
ture have always been regarded at Sadlers' Wells was
evinced last night by the selection of the Merchant of
Venice and the comedy of Rule a Wife and Have a Wife,
without the admixture of any pieces of more modern date.
The audience had, therefore, the satisfaction of receiving
such an evening's entertainment as their ancestors en-
joyed in the Elizabethan age, when the works of Shake-
spear and of Beaumont and Fletcher had the charm in-
deed of novelty, but cannot be supposed to have had the
advantages in performance which the more ample re-
sources of modern theatres render it possible to secure.
The house was full.

OVERLAND MAIL

(BY SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.)
The following telegraphic message has been re-
ceived from Trieste :

The steamer Bombay arrived on the 28th inst.,
at seven p.m., in 123 hours from Alexandria.
An embassy had arrived at Aya, accompanied
by two missionaries.
The King was besieged in a small fortress by his
younger brother, who had the whole army with
him. He was sure of success, and desired peace
at any price.
The Burmese troops had abandoned Pegu, by
orders received from Ava ; and Brigadier Steele
occupied all the strong points of the province.
The province of Bassein had been cleared of the
enemy by Captains Fytch and Rennie.
An expedition sent against a robber-chieftain
near Donabew had been repulsed, with the loss of
two guns and eighty-eight killed and wounded.
Among the officers killed were Captain Locke,
Lieutenant Kennedy, R.N., Captain Pryce, 67th

CREMORNE.

Amongst the Easter festivities of this year, these
favourite gardens hold out very prominent attractions to
those who are fond of out-of-door pleasures. We were
much pleased in visiting them last night, and in remark-
ing the many alterations and improvements which have
taken place, and which, as summer approaches, will be
recognised and appreciated, as the good taste and libe-
rality which have dictated them deserve. The evening's
amusements commenced by an admirable ascent, effected

SURREY.

The Easter piece at this theatre is entitled The Spirits
of the Night, or the Legend of the Lake. The complica-
tion of the plot almost baffled our pursuit, which was
every ten minutes or so further checked by the sudden
death, by murder or suicide, of one or more of the indi-
viduals whose continuity of existence seemed dramati-
cally expedient ; and as none of these—with one excep-
tion—came to life again until the last scene, we began
to be apprehensive that the development would altoge-
ther fail by reason of the total want of personages to
fulfil it. There is, of course, plenty of " comic business,"
efficiently rendered by Messrs. H. Widdicombe (a very
clever comedian), Mr. A. Younge, and Miss Lebatt, and
there is some really good scenery, and mechanical illu-
sions and effects.

ADELAIDE GALLERY.

The old-established enchanter Jacobs has pitched his
tent at the little theatre in the Adelaide Gallery. To
proclaim the merits of this artificer in mechanical illusion
Would be superfluous. His repertoire is copious ; his
dexterity unimpeachable. He talks to the audience
With the confidence of your recognised wizard, and
cheats them out of their senses with a diverting effron-
tery. The redoubtable Jacobs will no doubt be in con-
siderable vogue during the Easter week—the brief period
of time which he allots himself in London.

assurance, that neither labour nor expense had been
spared on his part to secure the public favour. Introduc-
ing a new company and a new stud to the Easter sight-
seers, of course Mr. Cooke could do no other than bring
them forward in an entirely new spectacle, which consisted
of an original equestrian spectacle and drama, entitled
Amakosa, or Scenes of Kafir Warfare, accompanied with
new scenery, music, costumes, and decorations. The
drama has been written expressly for the occasion by
Mr. E. Fitzball, author of Azad, and the Prophate, and,
as its name imports, is founded on events in the recent
Kafir war. Its interest lies mostly in the remarkably
striking and difficult equestrian feats to which it is alto-
gether subsidiary, and which only after a long course of
careful training the spirited and enterprising. thanager
has taught his beautiful stud of horses to achieve. The
whole piece was well sustained throughout, and on se-
veral occasions during its progress as well as at its close
elicited the plaudits of the auditory. The wonderful
performances of M. Pablo on the corde elastique, which
followed, were watched with the most intense interest
and admiration, and not the less so the succeeding series
of performances, in which the great equestrian skill of
the several members of Mr. Cooke's company, and the
amazing docility, intelligence, and training of his admi•
rable stud, were brought out in forms the most striking
and varied.

STRAND.

At this favourite little theatre last night the perfor
inances commenced with Bickerstaffe's lively opera of
Love in a: Village. There were a few minor incidents
which might call for a critical review, but regarding the
production as a whole, great praise must be'awarded to
it. Every part was intrusted to a meet representative,
and the principal characters_ were in able hands. After
the opera came the National Anthem by the entire com-
pany, admirably rendered, and all concluded with Lee's
Well known musical farce, The Invincibles. It was
Played with spirit and propriety, and met with great ap-
probation.

MR. WOODIN'S CARPET-BAG.
Not least among the entertainments of Easter, for all
Who love real fun and drollery, must be reckoned the
admirable monopolylogical performances of Mr. Woodin.
Though engaging to meet single-handed the public ap-
petite for amusement, he is a host in himself, not meta-
phorically, but really, actually, and in downright literal
language, for instead of being "two single gentlemen
rolled into one," he is nothing less than one gentleman
rolled out and cut up into a railway-train-full of men,
Women, and little boys. He is a servant-maid out of
Place " on account of her followers," an octogenarian old
gentleman, who sings of the olden time ; a burly M.P.,
With a horror of election committees ; an inquisitive
juvenile of three feet nothing ; a mysterious foreigner ;
a lackadaisical young lady ; and, by way of conclusion,
a whole pic-nic party of some dozen individuals at one
and the same time. His personations are exceedingly
Clever, and throughout a long entertainment never suf-
fers the attention of his audience to flag for a single in-
stant—in itself a safe sign of excellence and talent.

THE COLOSSEUM.
The Easter attractions at this old and sterling exhibi-
tion are as powerful as ever. The fame of the extraor-
dinary panoramic view of London, for which the Colos-
seum has so long been renowned, is too widely spread
to require any addition from us. Both as a work of art
and as a truthful representation of one of the most extra-
ordinary scenes that was ever spread out before the eye
of the artist, the view of London at this place well re-
Pays the trouble of a visit. In addition, there is the
Panorama of "London by Night," with the strange and
pleasing effect of the long lines of streets crossing one
another in every diversity of direction, lighted up by
innumerable spangles of lamps, so that the plan of the
huge city is as well, if not more clearly, defined than by
the broader glare of day.

ST. JAMES'S.

Mr. Mitchell, in his opening prospectus, announced
the appearance of the renowned Robert Houdin, at
Easter. This prince of conjurors duly appeared last
night, when he commenced the first group of perform-
ances, which, we are told, are to be his last in this coun-
try. Robert Houdin is the most expert of his craft.
He never spoils an illusion by the clumsiness with which
he developes it—like some of the gentry who essay to
rival him. On the contrary, he deceives the eye most
completely by the coolness of his address, and the per-
fect finish of his manipulation. He went through his
performances last night with his accustomed adroitness,
and the audience applauded him as of old.

PANORAMAS

There is an extraordinary number of this class of en-
tertainment open at present, and, as far as we could
ascertain yesterday from a visit to some of the best of
them, they appear to come in for a large share of public
patronage. The taste for them appears to have been
steadily on the increase for some time, and if it is
carried much further, we shall not have a disposable
room of any size for other purposes in the metropolis.
So completely systematised have shows of the kind be-
come, that you have scriptural subjects like Jerusalem
and the Holy Shrines for the pious, Granada and the
Alhambra, Hindostan, Nineveh, Lisbon and its
earthquake, for those who like to see countries and
places marked by historical associations, the gold-
fields for intending emigrants, and the lives of
Wellington and Napoleon illustrated for those whose
tastes lean towards military achievements. Of this
list the illustration of the life and exploits of Napo-
leon is the most recent, and certainly one of the best.
The tableaux are all remarkably well painted, and are
free from that exaggeration which is sometimes so con-
spicuous in works of this kind. The Regent Gallery, in
the Quadrant, has been handsomely fitted up for this
diorama, which embraces all the most striking events in
the career of the great Emperor. The panorama of the
gold fields is also new and good, conveying an excellent
idea of life in Melbourne and at the diggings, and giving
some effective views of Australian pastoral scenery.
The diorama of the life of Wellington still maintains its
attractiveness, and drew yesterday a crowded attend-
ance. Numbers of visitors also went to see Burford's
fine view of Granada and the Alhambra, which, if it at all
resemble the original, must help to turn the steps of
tourists in- increasing numbers towards Spain. Now
that the art of phot-Traphy, and the discovery of the
stereoscope have placed such resources in the hands of
artists for realising the most distant scenes, We may
soon expect to see a new species of exhibition, superior
in interest as well as in truthfulness to that at present
so much in vogue.
