PRUSSIA.

The Pr ussian Constitutional party has published
in its turn, an electoral manifesto, of which the
following are the principal points:—
" Ist. Conscientious respect for the Constitu-
tional rights of the Crown, and complete efficacy of
the rights guaranteed to the people and their re-
presentatives. 2. The Chamber of Deputies has
undoubtedly the right, according to the terms of the
Constitution, to amend the annual budget, by spe
cialising the chapters, as it thinks proper. 3. The
Constitution exacts that the budget be voted before
the commencement of the year to which it belongs.
4. No one can approve of the charges imposed upon
the country by the new organisation and by the
increase of the standing army becoming durable in
time of ipeace. 5. The Chamber of Nobles, in its
present composition, forms one of the principal
obstacles to a national and liberal policy."

The Progressionist party, on its side, has replied
to the circular of the Minister of the Interior, by
an address to the electors, in which we remark the
following lines :

"We rely on the Prussian people not allowing
themselves to be disturbed, but that it will show
by the new elections that it has not advocated
the liberal development of Prussia in consequence
of momentary feelings of irritation, but seriously
and with resolution. If we hold firmly to Consti-
tutional right, to the reality of Constitutional in-
stitutions, and to the success of progress, the period
of trials will be abridged, the last hopes of reaction
destroyed, and the union between the people and
the Government, which cannot be interrupted, but
to the detriment of the country, be re-established."

The Prussian Minister of Justice, Count Lippe,
has just addressed a circular to the functionaries of
his department on the subject of the coming elm-,
tions. It was rumoured that many magistrates had
protested against their being obliged to assume an
attitude in the elections not in accordance with their
constitutional position. Count Lippe's circular is
less stringent than that of the Minister of the
Interior, the functionaries being recommended not
to join in the electoral excitement, so as to depart
from the impartiality so necessary to every magi-
strate.

" The municipal council of Berlin, at its last sit-
ting," says a letter from that city, " resolved unani-
mously that all the 41 per cent. stock held by the
city should be presented for reimbursement. That
decision is consieered a vote of want of confidence
against the Ministry, and will probably beimitated
by a number of fundholders, and thus give a rude
blow to first financial operation of M. Von der
Heydt."
A Berlin letter in the cologne Gazette says
"It is stated that Belgium last month expressed a
desire to ()poi negotiations with the Zollyerein on
the subject of a treaty of commerce. The Prussian
Government reidied that it would ask the assent of
the olier States of Zlliverein. This is the
sole
foundation for the rumour current in political circles
that Belgium had already made certain definite
proposals."

BEDDING ROSES.

The two most perfect bedding roses known aro
Cramoisie Superieure and Fabvier, of the Bengal
section (liosa _lndica). They begin to bloom early,
and they continue to bloom even after frost has
witheied the wettest of their buds, and they are of
such a glowingfiery crimson that, as far as mere colour
is concerned, they have no equals. They are very
much alike, and I have long endeavoured to deter-
mine which of the two is the best. I think I must
decide for Cramoisie, but it scarcely matters which
is used, or if the two arc mixed in the same bed.
These are very dwarf, have striking bronzy foliage,
and do not assort in the same row or mass with roses
that have decidedly green leaves. In the same sec-
tion of Bengal or China roses we have Archduke
Charles which may be used for the same purpose as
the two just mentioned, where a diversity is re-
quired; but it is a second-rate bedding rose; the
colour is not satisfactory, though bright, and it has
a coarseness of habit which will annoy a fastidious
eye. Lastly, among these little Chinas, we have
Mrs. Bosanquet, a delicate pale flesh, the flowers in
clusters, very double, and of the highest quality in
every sense.
These are all the bedders in the whole
of this list, but there are plenty more of the same
dwarf, neat growth, and profusely flowering habit.
The Noisettes offer some beauties, and for colour
Fellenberg is unequalled, It is of dwarf habit, a
vigorous but not robust grower, very herdy, always
in bloom, and the blooms a cheerful cher,. y crimson,
with that minute desh of blue in it which makes it
somewhat of an approach to Magenta. A true
bedder is Fellenberg, and splendid in a mass. In
the same we have Ophirie, a trifle more vigorous
than the last, habit racemes°, foliage exquisitely
beautiful, blossoms nankeen copper, very distinct.
and a splendid contrast to the crimsons in a bed.
Among all the beautiful noisettes there are but
three others fit for the purpose now before us,
namely, Miss Glegg, Aimee Vibert, and Caroline Mar-
n iesse ; the first two are nearly alike, robust growers,
bright shining foliage, and abundance of white
flowers in clusters; the last is a free grower and an
abundant bloomer, but the tint of pink in the buds
and centres of the flowers very much detracts from.
its merit as a bedder. Perhaps Viscomtesse d'Avesne
might answer as a bedder for the sake of mauve
coloured roses, but its ugly upright habit, and its
ragged appearance when a few faded blooms are
allowed to hang, prevent me recommending it as I
have the others. Among the Teas, Gloire de Dijon
is unrivalled for a pillar, a standard, or a bed, but

it grows strong and is nothing if not big, and here
then we have material for the centre of a large bed,
where the colour, yellow salmon, would tell grandly-
with circles of crimson round it.—Gardener'

WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

The will and seven codicils of Miss Eliza Miles,
formerly of Ulifton, Gloucestershire, but late of
Firbeck Hall, near Tickhill, Yorkshire, were
proved in London by her sister-in-law, Mrs. Fran-
ces Harriott Miles, sole executrix, relict of her
into brother, William Miles, Esq. The personalty
wad sworn under £140,000. The bequests are
numerous. The estate of Aylten Court is devised
to her cousin Philip William Skinner Miles, Esq.
A legacy of £20,000 is bequeathed to her cousin
Sir William Miles, MX. ; and annuity of £3OO to
her cousin Elizabeth Wickens ; liberal legacies to
her cousins, the Kingstons, and to many other of
his relatives and friends. Her jewels are bequeathed
to her sister-in-law, Mrs. Frances H. Miles, whom
she has appointed residuary legatee of both her real
and personal estate. All legacies under £lOO to be
paid free of legacy duty, as well as the bequests to
the following charitable institutions :—Bristol In-
firmary and Clifton Dispensary, each £2OO ; Har-
vey's National Institution, Bristol, and Church
Building Society, each £3OO ; Orphan, Blind, Deaf
and Dumb Asylums, Bristol, each, £lOO ; Clifton
Scripture Readers, £lOO ; Churchwardens of Clif-
ton, £2OO, the interest to be expended in broad for
the poor ; also a sum of £l5 to be distributed by
them amongst the poor every Christmas:
The will of Phillip Alexander Parker Prince,
formerly of the Agapemone, late of Lansdowne-
cireus, Stockwell, was proved in the London court
on the 27th ult. by his relict. The personalty was
sworn under £l,OOO, and Mr. Prince also had a
freehold estate situate in Bath. The testator,
whose death occurred on the 24th of February last,
was a singular character, and possessed notions
which exhibited the most strange and whimsical
fancies. He founded, a few years back, a sort of
institution which he designated " The Agapenione!
or " Abode of Love." The will of this eccentric
gentleman, which is very brief, disposes of thteophrois-
perty of which he died possessed entirely

for the benefit of herself and their
daughters—there is no other bequest contained in

ADELPHI.

Last night the management of the New Adelphi
produced,for the edification of their holiday visitors,
what is described in the bills as being "a new roman-
tic drama, in two acts, by Dion Boucicault, Esq.,
entitled, The Phantom." The scene of the drama
is laid in the Highlands of Scotland, and Messrs.
T. Grieve and W. Telbin are thereby afforded an
excellent opportunity for the display of their well-
known ability. The ruins of the Castle of Ravens-
cleugh by moonlight, painted by the former, was an
admirable scene, and was loudly cheered by the au-
dience ; and the Peaks of Ben Nevis, by W. Telbin,
was equally effective, and also called forth repedted
rounds of cheering. In fact, these two scenes kept
the audience in good humour, and enabled the drama
to work on to the conclusion. The comic business
of the piece was decidedly the best, and Mr. J. L.
Toole; as a Highland peasant, aided very materially
in carrying the first act through. Nothing could
be more truthfully ludicrous than his exhibition of
terror in the haunted castle, and he received his
reward in several rounds of applause. The comic
business in the second act rested upon the immortal
Paul Bedford, and that very interesting young
actress, Miss Latimer, and it is needless to say that!
it was well sustained. We must add that Mr. S.
Emery was exceedingly happy in the portraiture of
an eccentric doctor, and which his dramatic tact
and experience enabled him to make a prominent
character. On the fall of the curtain there was loud
applause from the gallery, which was followed by
some hissing from the pit and boxes, after the prin-
cipal characters had bowed their acknowledgments.
The entertainments concluded with the new domes-
tic drama of "Dot," founded upon the well-known
story by Charles Dickens, Esq.

ST. JAMES'S.

There was no Easter novelty at this theatre, but
a new fairy extravaganza is promised before the
holiday season shall altogether have passed, from
the pen of Mr. William Brough, author of " Endy-
mien, Perseus and Andromeda," and several other
successful pieces. As an additional attraction there
is also an announcement that the Misses Nelson of
New York and Australian celebrity, will take ad-
vantage of the occasion to make their first bow to
a London audience. Yet, notwithstanding the
absence of any zrovelty, there was a numerous at-
tendance of visitors, and the reputation of this place
of amusement was fully sustained by the character
of the performances. The pieces represented were
" Friends and Foes," a comedy translated by Mr.
Horace Wigan froze " Nos Intimes," a play which
has had considerable success in Paris; a comic
scene entitled " Under the Rose," and Mr. Bayle
Bernard's farce of " The Boarding School."

SPORTING IN7ELLIGENCE.

THE NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.
MONDAY.
The Easter holidays are looked forward to with the most
intense delight by every individual member of what is

termed the lower middle classes as the first turn out of the

season. it is a season of smiles and new ribbons—every one
seems necessitated to appear painfully well dressed ; even
the children are included in the awful rule, and are com-
pelled to walk about stiff, and starched, and furbelowed, as
if they had a pin sticking in every imaginable portion of
their bodies. The whole of passion week is consumed by the
men in a kind of earnest yet lazy endeavour to get the time
over and the work done—by the women in an agony of ex-
citement. New bonnets, new dresses, new, yes, new crino-
lines are scrambled for and obtained somehow or the other,
and Easter Sunday dawns upon a nation attired in every
colour of the rainbow. Everybody must look smart on that
day.

To some, however, the arrival of Easter has a murk graver
import, and to none more than to those who reF,:ard it as a
special occasion, because it brings with it thfd Newmarket
meeting. The Newmarket meeting is emphatically a busi-
ness meeting. People go down to Epsom Spring racing to
enjoy themselves, it is a metropolitan holiday-making. But
this is a far different and far more important affair, inas-
much as it is in fact the turning point of the racing season
—the termination of one year and the active commencement
of another, when accounts have to be settled for the old
term, and arrangements practically made for the new.
Had holiday folk selected Newmarket as the sumo for

their special diversion on this Easter Monday, their choice
could scarcely have been better made. The weather was
warm and genial, and the proceedings on the Heath were
interesting without being fatiguing, The card contained
eight items, and although the fields were not numerous,
the sport was sufficient to amuse the very select company
that " assisted" at it. No incident of importance has to be
recorded. Agag, the sometime favourite for the Chester
Cup, was defeated for a 50 sous sweepstakes ; and.
Aldcroft, one of the most accomplished jockeys of the pre—
sent day, made a " professional" reappearance after a
long and severe illness.

myriads at the review, the Crystal Palace its tens
of thousands, and the theatres and other music halls
their quota, the inexhaustible thoroughfare of
Oxford-street poure I in a stream of visitors to this
hall, who filled it in every nook and corner. The
amusements commenced earlier than usual, to gra-
tify the eager curiosity of those "out for the day,"
and. were kept up without intermission to the close.
It was not found necessary radically to change the
programme, which is always undergoing modifica-
tion. Thus, the new cantata founded upon "The
Jolly Beggars" of Burns, and composed expressly
for this hall by Mr. George Linley, remained a
prominent feature in the musical arrangements.
This work has already received notice at
our hands, and it will be sufficient to say
that it goes with increased spirit and effect, now
that the singers are warmed up to the music. The
cantata made an unmistakeable impression upon a
holiday, and, therefore, impressionable audience.
They seemed thoroughly to seize the vein in which
Burns wrote, and to enjoy his contraband fun.
Some of the familiar airs, the best of them being
sung with great vocal power and dramatic effect by
Mr. Albert, went immensely. In great contrast, of
course, with Scottish national airs, appeared the
strains of Verdi's " Trovatore," admirably interpre-
ted by Miss Russell, Mr. Albert, &c. We may
here remark upon the revival of " Norma," played
on the last occasion of our visiting this hall, and
particularly on the exquisite rendering of the duet
between Norma and Adalgisa, Miss Russell and
Madame Maria vieing with each other for ascen-
dancy with the audience, and. ending in that sort of
vocal duet in which most Normas and Adalgisas of
not widely unbalanced merit have engaged in—in
honour of art of course. The set music, under Mr.
Songhmans baton, was relieved by the usual
I sprinkling of comic and sentimental singing. Such
celebrities as Mr. Sam Collins, Mr. W. Randall,
Mr. J. G. Forde, in the former category, noed only
be mentioned to excite a smile by proxy. The last
artist we have named gave fresh proof of ability as
a " patter" vocalist. As a finale, the youths Henri
and Pfau appeared on the flying trapeze, and these
daring little artists carried all before them. Nauti-
cally speaking, they have "changed their tactics"
up aloft. Many eccentric and astounding move-
ments in the air were last night performed which
did not enter into the original scheme, and which
were greeted with much applause.

M. ROBIN'S SOIREES FANTASTIQUES.

The great French wizard, M. Robin, last night
freely exercised his spells over a large and willing
audience at the Egyptian-hall. It is really quite
refreshing to get back to our wizards, after the
great uncertainty which has of late prevailed about
" mediums" and magisterial interference with the
fortune- tellers. M. Robin does not cheat, but asks
you to detect his deceptions—and this is more than
can be said of the professional spirit-rappers or the
more vulgar gipsy. He neither sets up a manu-
factory for ghosts, nor barters husbands (dark, fair,
or neutral-tinted) to unsuspecting housemaids at a
shilling. We, therefore, welcome the entertainment
of M. Robin as an agreeable relief from table-turn-
ing and the telling of fortunes, and the audience
last night seemed to regard his many astounding
feats of legerdemain from a similar point of view.

OLYMPIC.

"The World of Fashion," with its melodramatic
exhibition of the vicissitudes of modern life, still re•
tains its hold on the favour of the audience at this
thentre, and was the first piece performed yester-
day evening. Then followed a new extravaganza,
entitled "Fair Rosamond ; or, the Maze, the Maid,
and the Monarch." We had here one of those very
free-and-easy burlesques in which the only object
of the writer seems to be to introduce every species
of joke, pun, and whimsical allusion which the most
violent use of rhyme without reason renders possible,
consistently with the employment of any language

ST. JAMES'S.

There was no Easter novelty at this theatre, but
a new fairy extravaganza is promised before the
holiday season. shsll altogether have passed, from
the pen of Mr. William Brough, author of " Endy-
mion, Perseus ane Andromeda," and several other
successful pieces, As an additional attraction there
is also an announcement that the Misses Nelson of
New York and Australian celebrity, will take ad-
vantage of the occasion to make their first bow to
a London audience. Yet, notwithstanding the
absence of any novelty, there was a numerous at-
tendance of visitors, and tho reputation of this place
of amusement was fully sustained by the character
of the performanrtes. The pieces represented were
" Friends and Foes," a comedy_translated. by Mr,
Horace Wigan from " Nos Intimes," a play which
has had considerable success in Paris; a comic
scene entitled " Under the Rose," and Mr. Bayle
Bernard's farce of " The Boarding School."

COLOSSEUM.

. The saloons of the Colosseum were crowded yes-
terday by companies of sight-seers, and, what with
the stock entertainments and what with the novelties
specially designed for the opening of the present
season, there can hardly have been one who visited
the institution yesterday who could help feeling
that he had obtained " his shilling's worth for his
shilling." Thirty-three years have elapsed since
the Colosseum first put in its claim to be considered
one of the sights of the metropolis, and after hav-
ing for five of these years conducted its arrange-
ment, Dr. Bachhoffner seems determined not to
relax any of his energy during his sixth year of
management.

since the departure of the last English steamer had
been very light, dealers were very firm, and prices
had advanced upon last quotations. Notwithstand-
ing the inducements held forth by high prices, com-
bined with remarkably fine weather, receipts
continued upon the same limited scale as

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

The Polytechnic has always been a favourite
place of resort at holiday time, and those into whose
hands the management has now fallen do not seem
disposed to allow it to lose its good reputation.
This Easter they have provided a most attractive
prcgramme, and it was by no means surprising that
yesterday morning and evening the building was
crowded. In addition to the usual attraction Pro-
fessor Pepper delivered a most interesting lecture
on " Colour in general and coal-tar colours in par-
ticula," in which he showed in a series of experi-
ments how coal tar was by a variety of processes
made to produce the beautiful colours mauve and
magenta.

ALHAMBRA PALACE.

The proprietor of this establishment, being anxi-
ous
to enable the masses to witness the perform-
ances of Leotard and the other attractions of the
Palace, yesterday gave a day performance, at a uni-
form charge of sixpence only for admission, and he
will extend that arrangement to this day. The per-
formances commenced with Auber's overture " Fra
Diavolo," followed by a grand operatic selection
from " La S onnambula," songs, duets, four-part songs,
&c. Miss Rebecca Isaacs sang a very pretty bal-
lad, " Forget thee," the words by Frederic Law-
ranee, Esq., the music by W. H. Montgomery. The
usual entertainments were given—Leotard per-
formed, Steve Ethair, Dupont (the Gorilla), and
D'Alberte, the rival of.Blondin—each surprised and
delighted an audience who were in the best possible
humour. Leotard's engagement will soon terminate
here, and hence the anxiety of a large portion of
the people to witness his marvellous feats in this
splendid building.

LYCEUM.

The performances as this theatre commenced last
evening with the old farce of " The Blue Devils."
The part of Meagrim was played by Mr. Walter
Lacy in an amusing and laughable manner, but the
revival of this piece to thosa who remember the
style in which it was acted some half century ago
will not prove satisfactory. Mr. Selby played the
landlord with much volubility, and Miss Laidlaw
looked very pretty and interesting as Annette. The
farce was followed by " The Peep o' Day" for the
135th time. With a view, we suppose,, of infusing
fresh spirit into the pre-eminently successful drama,
Mr.G. Melville has been substituted for Mr. Herman
Vezin in the part of Harry Kavanagh, but, like
most alterations, it is no improvement. Mr. Mel-
ville is most certainly a very careful actor, but
then he wants the youth and vivacity of Mr.
Herman Vezin. The new musical ballet followed,
entitled " Killarney." It commences with the
scenery from the lakes, by Mr. Telbin, which has
been so frequently praised and admired that we
only need say on the present occasion that it has
lost none of its freshness and beauty. In the course
of the diorama Miss Whitty sung a new ballad in
three verses, by Balfe, with good effect, and was
much applauded.
A new scene was added, entitled "The Fairies'
Haunts." It consisted of a most extensive lake
scene, by moonlight, but the principal novelty was
a shadow dance by the corps de ballet, in a brilliant
moonlight thrown upon the front of the stage by
the newly, invented" method. The fairies produced
some very pretty effects by their white scarves
being keptlup against the light of the moon, elicit-
ing continuous applause, which:ended in a repeti-
.

tion of the dance, for which the moon did not seem
prepared, for the gambols of the dancers had not
concluded when a sudden and entire eclipse took
place, or perhaps fair Luna objected to encores bn
principle. However, the Goddess of Night relented,
and shone forth again before the dance was over
for the second time. Miss Lydia Thompson then
went through a shadow dance as a pas seul. The
first pose may, as regards grace, if not for other
reasons, be decidedly modified for the better ; the
rest was remarkable for much vigorous execution
and spirited exertion. The quick step was encored,

THE ARMY.

Inspector-General T. D. Hume, M.D., having
assumed the duties of principal medical officer at
Aldershot, has been taken on the strength of the

division;

The 2d battalion of the 60th Rifle Regiment,
which arrived at Spithead from Hongkong in the
Flying Cloud sailing transport on Friday, disem-
barked from that ship on Saturday, and joined
headquarters at Portsmouth. The Flying Cloud
sailed from Spithead the same afternoon. The
troops reached Chatham garrison yesterday morn-
ing, having disembarked at Customhouse-quay,
Gravesend. The Flying Cloud sailed from Hong-
kong on the 29th of December last ; arrived at the
Cape of Good Hope on the 10th of February; sailed
thence on the 13th of the same month ; reached St.
Helena on the 26th of February, and remained
there until the Bth of March, and first sighted Start
Point on the 15th inst. The number of troops
brought home was 250 men of all ranks, including
160 men of the 4th company of the 2d battalion
60th Rifles, 42 men of the Royal Artillery, 27 men
of the 31st Regiment, 9 men of the 44th Regiment,
4 men of the 99th Regiment, and 17 men of the
Army Hospital Corps, together with the following
officers—viz., Capt. H. P. Montgomery, Lieut. C.
Gosling, Lieut. A: Morris, and Assist.-Surg. J.
Doran, MD., 60th Rifles; Capt. J. W. Medhurst
and Ensign G. W, V. Catton, 99th Regiment ;
Lieut. J. G. Booth, Royal Engineers ; and Staff
Surgeon Horton. During the passage, which occu-
pied, including detentions, 114 days, eight soldiers
and one seaman died on board. The 31st Regiment
and the 60th Rifles came from Tien-tsin to Hong-
kong, where they embarked. The G7th Regiment
embarked at Hongkong on board the Anchanco,
and was to sail for England on the same day as the
Flying Cloud.
In a memorandum, dated Portsmouth, 18th of
April, his Royal Highness the General Command-
ing-in-Chief, after inspection of the garrisons of
Portsmouth and Gosport, expressed his entire
approbation of the state and efficiency of the troops
under the command of Major-General Lord William
Paulet.

The monster smooth-bore gun, weighing 22 tons,
at Portsmouth, known as the " Horsfall" gun, is
ordered to be delivered up to the Mersey Steel and
Iron Works Company for removal to Liverpool,
where it will undergo repairs to remedy the defect
existing in the chamber of the piece.

CHRISTY'S MINSTRELS.

This truly attractive company of negro singers
continue their performances at the Polygraphic
Hall, King William-street, Charing-cross, with un-
abated success. Their programme for the week is
an entirely new one, and comprises some capital
dancing and delineations of negro character, and
some new comic songs. But, perhaps, the most at-
tractive features of the cntcrteAnment are the
charming ballads so well sung, and the laughable
burlesque in which the whole of the company
appear. In addition to these some instrumental
solos are introduced and the evening's performance,
as a whole, is one as varied and pleasing in its
nature as the greatest admirer of negro entertain-
ment could wish it to be:
