The Laguna Mine is on the Veta Madre, or mother vein,
of El Chino, which varies in width from 10 to 16 yards, and
it lies between the Arevalo Mine on the west (which in the
hands of its Mexican owner now produces £20,000 to £30,000
annual profits), and upon the east the Rosario Mine, and
the Jesus and San Ratael Mine, which have also produced
enormous profits.
It will bo seen, therefore, that it would be impossible for
the Laguna Mine to be more favourably situated, and were
it untouched it would offer every chance of success, but
this chance seems turned into something very like certainty
by the discovery of ore in the shaft which has been sunk 25
yards on the vein (here about 10 yards wide), at a point
close to the boundary of the rich'Arevalo Mine, and at this 11
little depth the vein is precisely similar in character to the
latter, and contains silver ore throughout its entire width.
This Mine is situated in the Mineral of El Chico, 70
miles north the city of Mexico. It is in an undisturbed
locality, with an excellent mining population. The pre-
sent owner has obtained from the Government the licence
of the usual extent, with the sight to hold it for an un-
limited period. subject to the usual payment of £3 per cent.
on the value of the Silver produced.
The district of El Chico has been one of the most pro-
ductive in Mexico; and although it abounds in mineral
veins, yet it has but one great vein, which is called the
" Vete, Madre," or mother vein, and is about 35 feet wide
on an average. The Mines of the greatest celebrity are on
it, and Laguna stands in the midst of them, in virgin
ground, Its having remained until lately undeveloped is
owing to an error of the Mexicans at a former period, who
sunk the shaft perpendicularly, while the vein had a
southern declination of about one foot in a fathom ; the
result was that the shaft left the vein entirely, and the
Mine was declared of no value, and abandoned accordingly.
Having been found in this state by the present owner, he
proceeded to sink the shaft on the course of the vein and
found it to retain its full width, the ore commencing,
'
the surface and extending all the way down, a depth of 78
feet, and to have ores disseminated throughout. In the
course of this operation the vein much improved, as the
ores became more massive, with a larger proportion of sil-
ver. And 30 tons of ore were raised, which produced 2,160
ounces of silver.
An adit level is now being made to the Arevalo Mine,
which, when completed, will drain the Laguna Mine to a
depth of 300 yards and upwards, which will be of great
benefit,
It is now proposed to sink the shaft a few fathoms deeper,
and then drive levels east and west ; and should the ore
continue as it was left in the bottom of the shaft when the
mine was suspended, there would be a commencement of
profits, with a prospect of their increasing, as the mines on
this vein have been characterised by great durability. For
instance, the Mine of Arevalo, whose workings are within
50 fathoms west of the Laguna Shaft, has continued its
operations without interruption for upwards of one hundred
years, during which period it has given profits to the amount
of many millions of dollars, and is still a rich mine.
The similarity in the eveappearace of this mine to that of
Arevalo, at the same depth, is ry striking, and being on
the same vein there is little doubt that Laguna will give a
similar result. This remark applies equally to the mines
adjoining it on the east, viz., " Reser* Jesus and San
Rafael," which are among the most celebrated mines of
Mexico, and which gave to Spain such enormous wealth,
and added so materially to her greatness.
It is particularly worthy of remark that the ores of
Laguna are of the most " docile" character, and peculiarly
adapted to the amalgamation process, by which the silver
can easily be extracted from the ores.
Extensive smelting and amalgamation works are close at
hand, where the ores can be reduced at a low price, as there
is mucii water power available, and the Company will
therefore htzve no need to erect works of their own.
The owner,
Mr. J. Richard Rule,transfers two-thirds of
the property to the present Company for 11,200, the
amount expended by him, agreeing to superintend the
operations until the Company may think proper to appoint
another person,
t is estimated that an additional sum of £4,000 to £5,000
will be amply sufficient to bring the Mine into condition to
yield the most satisfactory results to the shareholders.
Prospectuses and forms of application may be obtained
of the Brokers, Solicitors, or at the Temporary Offices of
the Company.
The deposit of £1 per share must be paid to the Com-
pany's Bankers previously to the application being sent in;
this sum will bo returned in full if a sufficient number of
shares be not applied for, or if no allotment be made to the
applicant.

THE SUN.
[LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1862.

How was New Orleans captured?—is a question
we are all asking, though as yet we can get but a
partial answer: To the tax payers of England it
is a question of almost as much importance as that
of the true interpretation of the battle between the
Merrimac and the Monitor. Millions of our money
may be saved if it reinforces, as we expect it will,
the lesson of the comparative inutility of forts
against gunboats and mortar vessels, especially
when in motion. Forts Philip and Jackson, with
their crossing fire, the chains across the river, with
guns enfilading their length, and the connected
works; were, relatively to the wooden small vessels
which attacked them, quite as strong as any forts
head. Lord PALMERSTON'S " follies," for that is
their proper name, would never be attacked, or the
attempt made to pass them, except by such iron-
shielded or plated vessels, as would have paid no
attention at all to, the American forts, but have
passed by them as we might through a swarm of
gnats. If, as seems to be the fact, only one small
vessel out of fifteen was injured by these forts, en-
joying every possible advantage, we may conjecture
of what use confessedly stronger forts would be
against ships quite as much stronger than those of
the Federal&

But where, meanwhile, are the Confederate gun-
boats ? We heard much about them before the
Federal attack ; but, like our policemen, they seem
to be out of sight just when they are wanted. We
hear of them, if they ar3 anywhere, hundreds of
miles away up the stream at Fort Wright, which
the Confederates are beleaguering. This Confede-
rate fleet, respecting which no definite information
can be obtained, seems at least afraid to venture any
attack on the Federals. Whatever its strength, it
now lies between Commodore FOOTE'S fleet in the
North and that of Commander PORTER, which has
just taken New Orleans, in the South. Its inaction
would seem to indicate that its strength, after all,
cannot be very formidable. We may expect that
it will do what it can in aid of the Mississippi
forts, which the Federals, coming down from the
North, are successively capturing ; but in all pro-
bability both the forts and the fleet will soon fall
into the hands of the Northerns.
We confess that we look with almost intense
interest on BEAUREGARD, in his position at Corinth.
Never was an able man, with a large army, placed
at greater disadvantages; and if he extricate him.
self he will win a military name, whatever be the
fate of Secession. He seems to be hemmed in on
all sides. South of him, the great city on which
he must have chiefly relied for supplies is in the
hands of the enemy—a railroad leads direct to it
from his position. The enemy cannot use this to
attack him, because General BUTLER, who shnnlrl
be at New Orleans, is not strong enough to do more
than hold that city. On the other hand, while the
guuboats command the city it is useless for BEAU-
REGARD to think of retaking it. They could sup-
port their own troops, and shell him out without
difficulty. BEAUREGARD has also another railway
south, to Mobile ; but that smaller city is also
blockaded, and cannot help him. The South
being so hopeless for him—in front of him,
North, HALLECK has stretched his line in
augmented force ; and, if he look East, it
is but to see himself cut off from all the Atlantic
States by General MITCHELL, who occupies the
railways, and General POPE, who is marching to
join MITCHELL. On the west rolls the Mississippi
between him and Arkansas, into which, could he
cross, he would fled a country which is wholly
unfit for more than guerilla warfare. A great
victory over the Federals opposed to him would
still leave him raucl, to do to work out his deliver-
ranee north, south, east, or west, though it would
doubtless give him freedom for a time. Unless he
can gain one, the course of the Mississippi will
soon be in the hands of the Federals, and the whole
of the State of that name will be substantially in
their hands also. They will occupy all its important
cities, and leave to the Confederates only the barren
central uploads.
Northern Virginia, too, is an exciting object of

attention, though none of the generals are in the
romantic position of BEAUREGARD. Not one of them
is surrounded by three others and a couple of fleets.
Still there is quite enough to make it a perfect mili-
tary game of chess. There is Richmond, the political
capital of Secession and Virginia, for the prize of
the winners, carrying, no doubt, all Virginia with
it. Three Generals are matched against each other
on three several approaches to it. Federal gunboats
might sail up the St. James River, on which it
stands, and place it in the position of New Orleans,
but something better than forts stops them. The
Merrimac lies repairing, repaired for aught they
can tell, that is their fear, in Norfolk navy yard;
and so the Federal fleet modestly declines either to
attack Richmond, or to aid AP CLELLAN to shell the
works of Yorktown. And now the question is,
What is to be the next move ?

Will M'CLELLArr attempt to storm Yorktown ?
It is probably too strong. Will he work at it by
regular approaches ? If he does, is its capture his
ultimate object ? or, will he attempt to take the
works in flank ; or, again, will he occupy the main
body of the enemy, while BURNSIDE, only sixty
miles south, marches north, and captures the navy-
yard, which is the nest of the Merrimac, and of the
little but formidable Confederate fleet. In that case,
aided by the Federal fleet, more than one road
would be open for ITCLELLAN to Richmond. On
the whole, high strategic ability is now required in
both the great seats of the war. BEAUREGARD
needs it for escape—M'CLELLAN needs it for attack.
The conditions in the two cases seem to be just re-
versed. The defence is the great difficulty in
Mississippi; the attack in Virginia.

We cannot still but wonder how the King of
PRUSSIA likes it ! Never has a constitutional So-
vereign (so-called) received from his lieges a lesson
b 0 direct and overwhelming. It is not simply that
the answer given just now by the various constitu-
encies has been adverse to the policy of the chosen
Ministers of the Crown : it is, that not one of these
Ministers has been returned,tbrough all Prussia, to
a seat in the popular branch of the Legislature.
The Cabinet is nowhere. The Prime Minister
and all his colleagues have been rejected by the
electors, and, what is worst of all, rejected ignomi-
niously. M. VON DER HEYDT himself, the
Premier, nominated against the wishes of the
Chambers by the arbitrary will of King WILLIAM,
having sat during many years past for the borough
of Elberfeld, has been at length disdainfully set
aside by his old supporters there, not because he
has in any way lost his identity in their regard,
not because his candidateship presents to them no
other than M. VON DER HEYDT in proprza persona,
but because M. VON DER HEYD.T stands before
them in a new role, as the Prime Minister of the
Prussian Government. A role so outrageously dis-
proportioned to his capacities that they are, for the
first time in the intercourse that has so long, and
hitherto so amicably, subsisted between himself
and his constituents, rendered too ridiculous for
further recognition ! It is again an illustration of
the folly of vaulting ambition—that ambition that
is in the habit of overleaping itself. M. VON DER
HEYDT has descended from his height—in the usual
way with "arch-mediocrities"—namely, by turn-
ing the old, invariable summersault ! Changing
the figure of speech—the result has been for the
entire Cabinet, as the result was with that wretched
little Ox-envying Frog in the Meadow. It has
fairly burst in the abortive effort at competition.
Not only is the chief Minister of the Crown, the
Premier VON DER HEYDT, thrown aside by his
former constituency—the like melancholy fate has
befallen each and all of his colleagues in the Admi-
nistration. General VON ROON, M. VON MUHLER,
and the rest, have had their names erased, one by
one, from the list of the national representatives.
Even the royal and loyal constituency of Potsdam
has refused, by upwards of four votes to one, to
accept as its representative in the elective chamber
L.. vt.llll.lt, I.\ ever was tnere a more
painful anti -climax. Remembering the astound-
ing scene witnessed upon the occasion of the
reigning manarch's Coronation, remembering that
most audacious of anachronisms, the appeal to the
spirit of the Right Divine in the middle of this
nineteenth century after the seething over
Europe of the burning lava of a series of
democratic revolutions—it certainly does appear
the most preposterous of non sequiturs when the
Sovereign who placed the crown of Prussia upon
his own head with so haughty a defiance of Modern
Liberalism, finds his first "chosen" Ministry re-
jected, one and all, root and branch, unanimously,
throughout the whole of the constituencies ap-
pealed to. It is for all the world a result as ridi-
culous
as that which befel the Spanish Hidalgo in
the old Joe-Miller anecdote, who, in the midst
of a consequential strut along the fashionable
lounge at Madrid, inopportunely stumbled prostrate
in the presence of all ! And whose sense of wounded
dignity—enhanced by a broken nose and a muddy
doublet—had only the feeble resource of stalking
away (broken nose in the air) with the indignant
ejaculation, "This comes of walking upon the
earth ?" King WILLIAM of PRUSSIA has come to
grief during the elections no less egregiously, igno-
miniously, ridiculously than the Spanish Hidalgo
whom we have ad laughed at. His Prussian Majesty,
after donning that crown—compared with other
crowns of Europe but of yesterday, the crown, not
of the Bourbons, not of the Guelphs, not of the Bra•
ganzas, but the bran new diadem of tilt Princes
of the House of Hohenzollern—after donning that
recently manufactured symbol of sovereignty over
Prussia, with an exclamation of pride like that of
CHARLEMAGNE and NAPOLEON the GREAT whln
assuming the Iron Crown of Lombardy, Dam me
la donne gore a qui la touche I—the reigning Sove-
reign of Prussia has the anguish (after this) of be-
holding upon the very first occasion of a ministerial
appeal to the Prussian constituencies, of beholding
every one of his own chosen ministers turned to the
1.7 4.lftatasa toln2atitU CU VICO.

To ourselves here in England, viewing the
events now referred to as we do, namely, as
deeply interested, but at the same time per-
fectly dispassionate, spectators, we cannot but
understand the whole situation of things yonder
in Prussia at this present juncture ; and understand
it too, one might say, in a manner, instinctively asd
at the first momentary glance. In point of fsct,
we had our own electoral experiences here in Lng-
land, experiences recorded upon the pages of our
constitutional history, that serve upon the instant
by way of apt and most ready illustration. :,The
ministers of a minority—administrators thrown
upon an unwilling House of Commons—have before
appealed (theironly resource—and too often, as it has
turned out, a very desperate one) have before now
appealed to the country only to be rejected, as the
rnernuerb tho VON DER HEYDT Cabinet have just
been rejected by their former constituenta.
The nation revolts at so transparent an attempt to
dictate to it despotically. The Sovereign in the
instance now brought under the consideration of all
Christendom, the Sovereign and not the minority
raised the defeated Administrators to power. The
members of the moribund Cabinet at Berlin were
in the first place the more insignificant members of
the previous Administration. To these "leavings"
of the last Govern ment,there was added a little eruster
of mere nobodies from the back benches, the most

neutral-tinted of political mediocties. A Cabinet
so formed was thrust by the arbiary will of this
" Right-Divine" Ruler of a Kingom only created
in the last century, upon the acceptance of an
unwilling Parliament. Unable o act with that
unwilling Parliament, the latter Its been dissolved,
the country has been appealed tc and with what
result all Europe now recognies—the wilful
Monarch himself now feels ver painfully and
ignominiously. "Pride," the adge says, "shall
have a fall." It has seldom met 'ith a more sum-
mary punishment of that kind han in the in-
stance before us. King WILLIAI has certainly
cause at length brought directly iome to him for
serious reflection. May it lead aim, this timely
meditation—as it ought—to a rerion of his policy
ab initio. Otherwise—they havei pleasant pros-
pect, politically, at Berlin !

For, what in effect is the situatia of affairs there
at this juncture in the annals of tht Constitutional
Government ? Here is a Prince, Low seated upon
the throne of Prussia, who, while eir presumptive
to that Crown he now wears so ver3arrogantly, was
supposed to be a champion of the cost liberal ideas,
an ardent lover of the most advaned and enlight-
ened principles. Scarcely had the liberal Prince
succeeded the poor roi faineant, Is brother, who
had for so long an interval lapsed ato imbecility in
that misnamed scene of his sad setusion, San Souci
—when the illusion of this suposed liberalism
has utterly vanished from tb ken of all !
King LOG has given place to Kng STORK. The
diadem of the 110IIENZOLLER7S is seized by a
hand delicately clothed in Sill—but within the
silken glove there is a grasp of Iron: WILLIAM
of Prussia is crowned, or rather, disdaining to be
merely crowned by a church dignitary, however
exalted, crowns himself after the fashion of
NAPOLEON, though without NAPOLEON'S recog-
nised and consummate genius as a Lawgiver,
and assuredly without NAPOLEON'S fame and his
heroic and deathless deeds of valour as the Conqueror
of other nations and the Organiser of a Strong Go-
vernment for his own. The earliest Ministry work-
ing under the regsme of this newly enthroned and
haughtypotentate—now in possession of the sceptre,
and as he apparently thinks also of the fee simple,
of Prussia—does not work to his liking, is not
submissive enough to his will, is not composed in
fact of sufficiently plastic mediocrities. It gives
place, under his mandate, to another, so feeble in its
general character, so insignificant in the reputation
of most of the men composing it, that it has been forced
into power in very despite of the Prussian Legisla-
ture. The Representative Chamber is consequently,
in obedience to a simple necessity, dissolved. The
constituencies are appealed to by the Ministry—
yea, through the Ministry, by the SOVEREIGN him-
self. For the Cabinet is notoriously oneof His
MAJESTY'S own construction. Hence the extraor-
dinary and unexampled fiasco—a Ministry with
not one of its members having a seat in the popular
branch of the Legislature. We shall look for the
sequel, of course, with eager curiosity, but at the
same time without one particle of anxiety. For
in simple truth, the KING, with all his hauteur,
is utterly powerless in the presence of so over-
whelming a demonstration.

The House of Lords, in its wisdom, has again, if
we remember rightly, the third time rejected the
" Qualifications for Offices Bill," sent up to it by
the House of Commons. It is of very little conse-
quence, indeed, so far as the subject-matter of the
bill is concerned. It is to repeal a declaration, sub-
stituted for the old Test and Corporation Act, by
persons taking certain offices—that they will not,
by virtue of their office, do any harm to the Church
as by law established. It is cleverly contrived, by
means of an annual indemnity act, that no pers6ns
shall be liable to any penalty for omitting to make
the declaration but the municipal officers of corpora-
tions. The reason, no doubt, why the stiff Church-
,uat Me ;at ter are irequentiy
Dissenters. Many Churchmen do not like the declara-
tion, it being, as they say, absurd to call on them not
to injure their own Church. Dissenters dislike it
because, as Lord CHELMSFORD expressed it, the
declaration was a testimony to the dominance of
the Church of England. This indeed is all. It is
a badge of Church supremacy, and Dissenters do
not like to wear it. It cannot have the slightest
practical utility as a check upon the hostile opera-
tions of the most virulent Dissenter. It is strictly
limited to his official conduct, and if ho used his
office to aid in dis-endowing and dis-establishing
the Church, he could plead that with his views he
was doing the Church service. He thinks Volun-
taryism a purification for Churches.
The conduct of the Upper House must strike
every common sense Euglishman as exceedingly
petty and wilful. They are worse than children
in the matter. They show a silly pleasure in simply
teasing. Last time the ex-Lord Chancellor or ex-
barrister, Lord CLIELMSFORD,headed the rejectors ;
this year the saintly leadership of the Duke of
MARLBOROUGH was invited. This sage legislator
of an Upper House, too, had actually the wisdom to
faggot up the Bill with a number of measures, ap-
proved by the Liberation Society—all of which
must be meant to destroy the Church. So a legis-
lator for all the English peop e, instead of asking
whether a confessedly superfluous and useless

declaration should be abolishcd, merely because,
though useless, it was insulting to some of her
MAJESTY'S subjects, gets it rej.cted by others as
wise as himself, because some other persons approve
the Bill. Men, not measures, he rays. These men
whom I hate, like it, therefore I don't like it. So
reason evangelical Dukes, and lords, who laugh at
them, yet vote, for party's sake, withthem.

BURNTISLAND—ARRIVAL OF PRINCE ALFRED,
AND EMBARKATION ON BOARD THE ST. GORGE.—As
previously arranged, his Royal Highness Prince Alfred
left Balmoral yesterday morning, on his return to his ship,
the St. George, and travelling via Perth, arrived RI- ,i,„
railway terminus hero exacly at 8 p.rr. Some prepara-
tions for a becoming reception to sg august a visitor were
improvised by the railway authgritias—the station having
its arches and pillars hung with festoons of evergreens and
flowers, with the word " Welcome" twisted in large cha-
racters, and the building otherwise tastefully decorated. A
considerable number of people assemb'rl at the 5 p.m. train,
expecting the Prince at that hour, mid by 8 p.m. the quad-
rangle in front of the station was completiy blocked up
by the crowd, a select number only being adDitted within
the precincts of the station. The arrival ofthe train was
the signal for a continued ru,ind of cheeritg) and as the
Prince stepped out, dressed as a china-a, the assemblage
cheered vociferously. Captain Egerton waswaiting at the
station. The Prince was accompanied by Major Cowell.
The crowd drove in the gates, and accompa ied the Prince
to his boat. He left the shore amidst greatcheering, and
looking very much pleased. He bowed seveal times, and
lifted his hat to the crowd.—Scotsman.

HER XAJESTPS T.I7E.4T.RE,

SIGNOR ARMTENDI.
The " tragedy of tragecl'ies," as -Byron so empha-
tically called the "B:•ide of Lammermoor," has
scarcely supplied to Donizetti the breadth
of design one would have supposed. He
has translated all its pathos, ail its deep
and absorbing passion, but he has left
almost untouched the historic beauty of the story.
Edgar of Ravenswood under his hand has sunk
from a highly poetic to an ordinary passionate
conception. He in no longer, as he is with Scott,
a sketch-of medizeval heroism—a relic of the past,
lofty in attitude and noble in proportion—which
from the very shadow that it lies in gathers a
grandeur that not unsuccessfully combats the strong
light of the present—he emerges in the opera as the
mere hero of border rivalry, whose highest
characteristic is a certain personal and family
pride. A family feud is the entire subject—a gulf
of border discord, bridged over, as in ancient story,
by the love of one of the combatants for the sister
of the other. A secret pledge, a forged letter,
and a broken vow, in consequence, followed
by the sudden return of the. betrayed lover to re-
veal the treachery which has ensured the utter de-
solation of the victims such are the entire
materials. Denuded of all historical, and there-
fore imaginative beauty, they have nevertheless an
emotional depth that sufficed to elicit from Doni-
sette some of his most vigorous and pathetic
fancies. Some of his loveliest meledies, some of his
noblest choruses, and some of his most character-
istic concerted pieces, are to be found in this pro-
duction. His mode of treatment has made the
heroine instead of the hero its central
interest, on whose account, with but rare
exceptions, the opera is now produced• Never-
theless, he has given certain distinctions
to the music of the Lord of Ravenswood which
render its effective delivery a very rare matter of
success. It depicts a proud, impulsive being who
unites the opposite qualities of the utmost vehem-
ence and tenderness—:who requires to combine a
highly declamatory with a highly passionate
delivery. Effectually to render the maledizione
and the fra poco of the opera would ordinarily
demand the powers of the most differently gifted
singers. Such a conception is one that Rossini and
Meyerbeer, in their " Arnold " and " John of Ley-
den," have treated on the grandest scale, but which
few singers in recent years have been found at all
adequate to realise. Duprez and Moriani are the
most signal instances of the past, and of all our liv-
ing artists the great exemplar is Signor.Tamberlik.
Signor Armandi, who last evening made his
debut in Edgar, at this theatre, challenged the
the ordeal under circumstances which almost de-
prive us of the right of criticism. We under-
standthat he was labouring under an amount of
indisposition which would have prevented his
appearing, but from his anxiety to keep faith
with the management. We can judge of
him therefore but partially, though, we are
happy to add, that all we have to say is
very greatly in his favour. His defect
last night lay in his voice, which seemed
to want both power and quality—an impression
which it is very probable his subsequent exertions
will remove—his obvious merits were his genuine
passion and his high dramatic feeling, which
stamped his acting throughout the character with
every quality it needed. These merits, we must
add, he sustains with the advantages of a manly per-
son and an easy spirited bearing. To these conclu-
sions we must limit ourselves till we have an oppor-
tunity of again hearing him—simply recording
that he produced a very favourable impression in
the opening act, and that he extended it in the
great scene of and in the delivery of the
malediction, which roused the audience to
a degree of enthusiasm that led to his recall.
The Lucia of Madame Titiens requires no sonees-
sions at our hands. Though a character which
affords her no dramatic scope whatever, and one
which also seems scarcely in unison with the
mature bloom of her person, nevertheless the pre-
rogative of genius to elevate everything it touches,
enables her to make it the vehicle of
some of ner most passionate ebullitions, and the
channel also for the display of some of her most
brilliant vocalisation. Never was her incomparable
voice in finer order than it was last evening—
never more resonant, more fluent, or more cora-
mpr,l:- -1- "• ALIA quaituy•-•

which places it apart from anything that has
been heard in recent years, and in the matter of
delicious sound makes it alone a great enjoyment,
flooded the house throughout the night with all its
best impressions. Nor did her triumph terminate
here. If her delivery of the opening cavatina,
the superb duetto with Enrico, and her share
in the grand concerted piece of the scene of the
malediction, " Chi ritiene it mio furore," sustained
all her ample fame, and fulfilled the highest expec-
pectations, it was in the music of the mad scene
that she carried satisfaction to the highest point—
alike in the force of its dramatic, expression
and the singular brilliancy of the vocalisation.
Here the music rose from her lips like the clear
stream of a fountain, and, high in air, broke away
into as brilliant a mass of sparkles. The acknow-
ledgment of this achievement was a very vociferous
recal—an honour which, with signor Armandi, she
also enjoyed at the end of every act. Signor Gassier
was the Enrico, and very ably he sustained it,
giving another proof to the public of his sub-
stantial power as singer and actor ; a power not
more remarkable for its strength than for its
range. The charming choruses of this opera were
very admirably sung, and the band under Signor
Arditi was all that could be desired. The scenery
and the movement were also very striking. On
the whole this was a very excellent and satisfac-
tory performance.

LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAlL-
WAY.—Yesterday a special general meeting of the share-
holders of this company, convened in compliance with the
Wharncliffe order, was held at the London. bridge station,
Mr. Leo Schuster in the chair, for the purpose of consider-
ing the following bills, which are at present before Parlia-
ment, viz. :—A. biil for making a railway from the Sutton
station of the Croydon and Epson branch of the London,
Brighton, and South Coast Railway, to Banstead and Epsom
Downs, in the county of Surrey ; a bill for making a rail-
way from Horsham to Dorking, and for other purposes ; a
bill for making a railway, to be called the " East Grinstead,
Groombridge, and Tunbridge Wells Railway," and for
other purposes ; a bill for enabling the Mid Sussex and
Midhurst Junction Railway Company to extend the time
for completing their railway, to sell or lease their under-
taking to the London, Brighton, and Soi,+l. D
poses. The meeting having
Company, and for other
been opened in the usual form, the Chairman said he very
much regretted that, as the bills mentioned in the notice
bna ..dd a second time in the House of Lords,
as the directors had expected would ere this have been the
case when they fixed the day of meeting, he would have to
trouble the shareholders by asking them again to attend.
He would therefore move that the consideration of the bills
in question be postponed until Monday, the 26th inst. The
motion, having been seconded by Mr. Lushington, was una-
nimously agreed to, and the proceedings terminated.
SUSPECTED CHILD MURDER.—On Saturday
evening, as some boys were bird-nesting among the ivy
which grows on the top of the wall at Tweedbank, on the
Coldstream road, opposite Shedden Park, they came on a
parcel wrapped up in some pieces of black alpaca, which,
on examination, proved to be the body of a full-grown male
child. It was shortly after taken to the police station, and
on being examined by a medical man, he gave it as his
opinion that the body had lain from three to four weeks in
the position in which it was found. It was vary much de-
composed. No trace has been obtained of the unnatural
mother.—Kelso Mail.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CALEDONIAN RAIL-
-wAY.--On Saturday evening James Gray, brakesman on
the Caledonian Railway, accidentally lost his life near
Hangingshaw, on the south side of the river. He was
reaching over the tender of the engine, which was in mo-
tion at the time, for a piece of cotton-waste, when he over-
balanced and ftll on f. the rails, tho locvu.avtive passing
over him. He was 22 years of age, and unmarried.—N. B.

BALLOON ACCIDENT.—A dreadful accident has
just taken place in the town of Barcelona. The ascension
was announced of a Montgolfier balloon of 14,000 cubic
metres, to which a trapeze was attached, on which gym-
nestle 'eats were to be performed by a young lad. The bal-
loon shortly after ascending took fire, and the lad, who had
got up on the trapeze, was seen calmly holding on by one of
the ropes below it. The balloon at last fell on a house,
where the lad hung from the roof until his strength failed,
when he dropped to the ground, fracturing an arm and a
leg. A young man, who had got on the roof of a house to
witness the descent of the balloon also fell, and was killed
ou the spot,

FRANCE.

The visit of the Prince Napoleon to Naples
suggests the following observations to the Presses
" Prince Napoleon embarks, preceded by his
speech of the Ist March ; by that speech, in which,
history in hand, he has demonstrated—first, that
the Government of the Roman States has at all
times been considered as execrable; secondly, that
Napoleon I. considered as a misfortune the union of
the temporal and spiritual powers on the same
head; and, thirdly, that the idea of Italian unity,
far from being one of our own time—one of conquest
and ambition—was germinating in all minds and
in all hearts at the period of the Restoration. We
have had, especially on the Italian question, too
many miscalculations of all kinds to abandon our-
selves blindly to our hopes, and to take our desires
for realities. We do not look upon the recall of
General de Goyon as a solution, and we do not
forget the note of the Moniteur upon the presence
of the French fleet in the Gulf of Naples. But facts
are facts, and their importance remains, in spite of
all official reserves, and all diplomatic exigencies.
In whatever manner they may be explained, the
salvos of the French and English fleets have re-
sounded in the ears of Europe like the artillery of
a naval battle, and the language of M. Benedetti
.and Sir James Hudson to the King of Italy has
been the funeral oration of Francis II and of the
dynasty of the Bourbons. As for Prince Napoleon,
if he has not received any political mission, his
journey has not the less, for Italy and for Europe,
an important signification."

SPORTING IN2ELLIG.ER

CHESTER RACES.-TUESDAY.

This meeting opened under good auspices, for the num-
ber of horses in the town exceeded that of the previous an-
niversary, and the attendance on the course was above the
average of the last few years. Many arrivals took place on
Monday evening, but owing to the late hour at which the
afternoon trains from London set down thier passengers
there were few backers of horses in the subscription rooms ,
and betting was in consequence remark-ally slack. On the
following morning, however, speculation upon the cup be-
came more active, ;and Fairwater, after being backed for
some money, was upon even terms with Zodiae and Silk-
stone, who were all at the same price, 7 to 1 being offered
on the field, and 8 to 1 taken about each of them. Stam-
pedo stood next in public estimation, and trod closely on
the heels of the favourites ; Caractacus and Brighton also
received support, but beyond these no animal was backed
except at a long price. The field was expected to contain
20 limners, but the six we have named were the only
horses whose friends appeared to have any sanguine hopes
of winning the great prize of the week.

Seven races stood on the card for the first day, and busi-
ness commenced at two o'clock with a highly interesting
contest, in which the winner of the City and Suburban.
Stakes met the winner of the Cambridgeshire upon even
terms, and a head only separated them at the finish.

One other race was looked upon with some interest, the
Mo,tyn, for which seven 2- yr-olds ran, and one was backed
almost against the field, but a very clever outsider named
Carnival, by Sweetmeat, won in a canter. He is engaged in
the Derby of next year. The Vest colt, s long in the bet-
ting for the Cup, was well beaten in the Palatine, and sent
out of the market. The turf was slightly holding, but the
fine weather throughout the day will, in all probability,
have rendered it good going this afternoon.

Betting—Even on Sawcutter, sto 4 agst Palestro,, had
6 to 1 agst Dusk.

Sawcutter was the first to show in advance, but was soon
after pulled back, and the running taken up by Dusk, who
came on with a long lead, followed by Sawcutter, and the
Frenchman to the half-mile post, where the latter ran into
the second place ; and on rounding the Gmsvenor turn he
took a clear lead, waiting upon the favourite to half way in
the distance. A fine race home ensued, which ended in
favour of Sawcutter by a head ; a bad third.
Chesterfield Stakes, a handicap of 10 sous each, with 100
added, for three-year slds ; second to receive 25 sovs

Betting-5 to 2 agst Egyptian, 4to 1 agst Lachesis, and
5 to 1 agst Jung Frau.
Egyptian made play, followed on the whip-hand by
Lachesis, Pilot, and Jung Frau, the others, headed by
Ophelia and Real Jam, lying close at their heels. On reach-
ing the half-mile post Pilot fell back, and his place was
taken by Ophelia, the three leading horses running in close
company into the straight, where they were joined by Mr.
Naylor's filly. From this point the race was never in doubt,
Fordham winning without the slightest effort by half a
length. Jung Frau, who came in with a rush a fe•,v strides
from the chair, was beaten by a head only for second,
Ophelia was a good fourth, and Real Jam neY.t. Pilot and
Miss Livingstone were the two last.

Prophet, Recovery, Leonora, and Mayflower.
Betting—Even on Voltella, 4 to 1 agst Dictator, 6 to 1
agst Lord of the Manor, and 100 to 12 agst. Juliet.
After one failure, in which the favourite, with Mayflower
and Fig, got off and ran to the T.Y.C. post, the flag was
lowered, when Voltella rushed to the front, and came on
with a commanding lead, followed by the Prophet, Eidolon,
and Fig, with the others, widely spread, following some
distance in their rear, the last of which was Dictator. On
rounding the Grosvenor turn the Prophet gave way tcr
Eidolon, Fig, and Mayflower, who followed in the wake, of
the favourite into the straight, where they were joinc,d by
Dictator, who half-way up obtained the third pla.ce, but
was passed opposite the stand by Mayflower. V oitella held
her own to the end, and won in the commonest of canters;
by 10 lengths, a length separating the 'second and third,
and two lengths separating the third wad fourth, the others
beaten off.

when Blithfield drew forward, but never had a chance of
reaching the leader, who won with hands down by six
lengths, Blithfield beating Rudiments by four lengths for
