ADELPHI THEATRE.

One of those peculiar medly pieces, part burlesque,
part ballet, part opera, and part spectacle, for the pro-
duction of which the Adelphi has been so long
celebrated, was produced here last evening,
under the title of The Devil's Violin. it
embraces the whole strength of the company,
and 0. Smith, Wright, Paul Bedford, Munyard, Ma-
dame Celeste, and Miss Woolgar are each fitted
exactly. The scenery is superb, the fun fast and
furious, and the dancing graceful and effective, and
its success, therefore, was complete. It is founded
on St. Leon's ballet of The Devil's Bolin,
in which, with Cerito, he has of late been
turning the head of all Paris, but the
adapter has superadded certain large instalments
from the Parisian burlesque on Socialism ; and the
Socialist hero, Dr. Pruneau, announces himself as
Satan, Mephistophiles, .Mammon, the Devil, 0. Smith,
a point which drew down hearty shouts of
laughter and roars of applause. As to de-
tailing the plot that is impossible, for the
Devil's violin intervenes at every turn to render the
thread of the story a tangled skein of perplexity. A
conservatory scene towards the close of the burlesque
is one of the most graceful pieces of trans-
formation ever seen on the stage. The
several flowers become animated, and as they
group themselves round their Rose Queen, Miss
Emma Harding, who looked indeed the Queen of the
garden flowers of that beautiful parterre, the effect
was brilliant. The piece was completely successful,
and the Devil's Violin will no doubt play to the tune
of some hundred nights. The piece is, we under-
stand, from the pen of Mr. Webster. The dialogue
is replete with wit and repartee, and the piece itself
full of admirable hits at the prevailing follies of the
day. The house was crowded.

SOCIETY OF ARTS.—Yesterday evening the mem-
bers of this society met at their rooms in John. street
(Charles Barry, Esq., ILA., in the chair), when Mr.
Digby Wyatt read a most interesting paper on metal
work, and the artistic designs of whibh it is capable.
The paper was illustrated by drawings, and some rich
specimens of manufacture in gold, silver, bronze, iron,
and other metals. Mr. Wyatt, in a very lucid manner,
defined the principle of each metal, and showed the uses
to which it might be applied. At the conclusion of the
lecturer's address an interesting conversation ensued, and
a vote of thanks having been passed to Mr. Wyatt, the
proceedings terminated. The attendance of scientific
gentlemen was very numerous.
SERVANTS' PROVIDENT INSTITUTION.—On Wed-

PRICE TWO GUINEAS.

THE NICOLL PALETOT, registered 6 and 7 Viet., cap. 65, of
Nico Lian or Llama cloth, is the most agreeable and gt ntlemanly
3armott for the tre ent season, and its moderate price (viz., two
guineas) will place it witbi the reach f every one subject to the
income tax; besides this, its great durability and most graceful ap-
pearance will form other and most powerful grounds for recommen-
dation. - _ _

The word paletot is now assamed by many, but M. J. and D.
NICOLL are the sole Patentees of the design, the address of whom
Is 114, 116, 120, lIEGENT-STREET, and 22, CORICHILL.

THERE is a novelty introduced for this season
consisting in a BODY GARMENT, which is caned NICOLL'S
MORNING COAT ; and as it is especially intended for morning
wear, when Riding •or Walking, it necessarily avoids the stiff for-
mality to bs cbserved in the cut and farm of the Dress-coat. The
Price is TWO GUINEAS, to be obtained only at 114, 116, and 120,
REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL.

ceremony of the separation of the Assembly we have
already described.
M. DUFAURE, immediately after the breaking up
of the Assembly, accompanied M. ODILON BARROT
to the Elysee National. It was currently reported
in Paris yesterday that the new Minstry would be
composed of Marshal BUGEAUD, General BEDEAU,
MM. ODILON BARROT, DUFAURE, DE REMUSAT
(a partisan of M. TISIERS,) DE FALLOUX, BEN( IE, (a
Legitimatist), PANSY, LACROSSE, and BUFFET.
The Journal des Dibats denies a report current to
the effect that M. LESSEPS had negotiated with the
Roman Government, not only an armistice, but a
treaty, which he had sent for ratification to Paris. It
appears that M. FOEBIE JANSON has merely brought
the heads of a pacific arrangement to be submitted to
the consideration of the French Cabinet.
The National mentions, as a report, that the French
Government had disapproved the terms for an arrange-
ment with the Roman Triumvirate proposed by M.
LESSEPS, inasmuch as it would deprive the POPE of
his temporal power.
The preliminary meeting of the Legislative Assembly
for the purpose of choosing the Provisional President,
and secretaries, was to have been held yesterday.
MM. RAVEZ and KERATRY are the two oldest mem-
bers, but they are both absent from Paris. General
SUBERVIE, the third eldest, is unwell, so that it is
probable that M. CORDIER will be the Provisional
President as the doyen d' age of the members present.
The six youngest members will be appointed secre-
taries.
The Assembly was to be formally opened this day,
by a Message from the PRESIDENT of the Republic.
" Several journals," says the Debats, "have an-
nounced that Prince PONIATOWSKI, the Tuscan
Minister to the French Republic, had sent in his
resignation. This statement is entirely devoid of
foundation."

The Funds have varied but little.

A R R I A G E.
n One half the world are desolately single, and the other
,apposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
Ctter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
eoraprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
cud broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
eeglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let ne imaginatively
refined, er prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
wogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
lttle publications claim yoar attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Nappy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral seribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servcnca of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as ho
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
in the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES•

FRANKFORT.
According to the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort,
the Prussian Cabinet has recommended the Archduke
JOHN to make over his powers as Vicar of the Em-
pire to the King of PRUSSIA ; but, it says, the Arch-
duke has hitherto refused to do so.
In addition to the body of troops to be assembled
near Frankfort by the Central Government, another
is to be collected near Stuttgardt, and to be placed
under the orders of the King of WURTEMBERG•
In the sitting of the German Parliament on the
24th, M. Scnuvrx asked the Ministry if it was true
that Prussia intended to dissolve the Assembly, and
to conclude a peace with Denmark without the assent
of the Central Power ? The Minister postponed his
reply till the first sitting after Whitsuntide. The
Minister of War announced that the Vicar of the
Empire had received a notification that a Provisional
Government had been established in the Bavarian
Palatinate, but that Government being contrary to
the constitution no notice could be taken of the
communication. The proposition that 100 Members
should be sufficient to pass measures in the Assembly
was adopted.
The King of BAVARIA has refused to accept the
office of Head of the Empire.

AUSTRIA. AND HUNGARY.
Intelligence has been received from Vienna to
the 22d.
Count STADION had tendered his resignation on the
score of ill health ; the EMPEROR had refused to
accept it, but had granted him unlimited leave of
absence until his health should be reinstated.

The Magyars have again utterly defeated the Im-
perial forces in the neighbourhood of Odenburgh, and
in consequence WELDEI has inserted in the Pres-
burger Zeitung an order of the day forbidding the
publication of any 11WW8 of the army, except in an
official form. Great surprise is expressed in Vienna
at the non-appearance of the Russians in Hungary,
and persons are asking what can have become of them.
Probably BEM and DEMBINSKI could furnish some
information on this subject.
It is said that the Emperor of AUSTRIA, the Em.
peror of RUSSIA, and the King of PRUSSIA will hold
conferences at lialisch.

SOPHOCLES FOR THE MILLION.

EDIPUS, KING OF THEBER. Translated
from the CEdipus Tyrannus of Sophocles. By Sir
Francis Hastings Doyle.
Four summers back the reception of Antigone by
an English audience in Covent-garden Theatre suf-
ficiently showed that the old Greek dramatists were
not incapable of finding appreciation among us bar-
barians. The enthusiasm with which that great
tragedy was welcomed by the inhabitants of London
was scarcely owing so much to the splendid histrionic
abilities of Mr. Vandenhoff and his daughter,
or to- the noble composition of an il-
lustrious musician since deceased—Mendelssohn
liartholdy—as it was to the dramatic majesty of
Sophocles, a majesty which was recognised even
through the film of a translation. Remembering that
incident, which almost constitutes of itself an epoch
in the drama and in literature, it is with peculiar
gratification that we observe the appearance of the
present diminutive, but most estimable volume, an
English version of the renowned CE.lipus Tyrannus,
from the pen of Sir Francis Hastings Doyle, late
Fellow of All Souls' College, Oxford. From
the few words prefixed to the translation it would
appear that in the event of the writer meeting
with anything like adequate encouragement the
present will only prove the pursuivant of many
similar performances. With all possible cordiality
we trust to see this double intention realised—we
trust to witness this success which will evoke this
scholarly enterprise. For the purpose of the trans-
lator is eminently deserving of encouragement—
seeing that it is a solicitude to familiarise the masses
of his fellow-countrymen (unacquainted as they are
with the language of ancient Greece) with the
famous masterpieces of antiquity. To do this
effectually Sir F. Hastings Doyle has here pro-
duced a faithful yet elegant translation into our
mother tongue of one of the chef d'auvres of the im- ,
mortal Sophocles—at a very trifling expenditure for
the reader, and of a most portable size for his con-
venience. As we have already intimated, the trans-
lator in his preliminary " Notice," expresses his in-
tention of furnishing versions successively of the six
other plays. This intention, we repeat, we earnestly
hope to see realised. It will do honour to Sir F. H.
Doyle, while conferring an inestimable advantage on
the community. It will tend to diffuse still further
the fame of Sophocles, and in so doing it will elevate
the tastes and widen the intelligence of the mul-
titude.

FRANKFORT.

--
According to the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort,
the Prussian Cabinet has recommended the Archduke
JOHN to make over his powers as Vicar of the Em-
pire to the King of PRUSSIA; but, it says, the Arch-
duke has hitherto refused to do so.
In addition to the body of troops to be assembled
near Frankfort by the Central Government, another
is to be collected near Stuttgardt, and to be placed
under the orders of the King of WURTEMBERG.
In the sitting of the German Parliament on the
24th, M. SCUULTX asked the Ministry if it was true
that Prussia intended to dissolve the Assembly, and
to conclude a peace with Denmark without the assent
of the Central Power ? The Minister postponed his
reply till the first sitting after Whitsuntide. The
Minister of War announced that the Vicar of the
Empire had received a notification that a Provisional
Government had been established in the Bavarian
Palatinate, but that Government being contrary to
the constitution no notice could be taken of the
communication. The proposition that 100 Members
should be sufficient to pass measures in the Assembly
was adopted.
The King of BAVARIA has refused to accept the
office of Head of the Empire.

AUSTRIA ANI) HUNGARY.
Intelligence has been received from Vienna to
the 22. d.
Count STADION had tendered his resignation on the
score of ill health ; the EMPEROR had refused to
accept it, but had granted him unlimited leave of
absence until his health should be reinstated.
The Magyars have again utterly defeated the Im-
perial forces in the neighbourhood of Odenburgh, and
in consequence WELDEN has inserted in the Pres
burger Zeitung an order of the day forbidding the
publication of any news of the army, except in an
official form. Great surprise is expressed in Vienna
at the non-appearance of the Russians in Hungary,
and persons are asking what can have become of them.
Probably BEM and DEMBINSKI could furnish some
information on this subject.
It is said that the Emperor of AUSTRIA, the Em•
peror of Russia, and the King of PRUSSIA will hold
conferences at Kalisch.

Madrid journals of the 22d have arrived.
The Gageta publishes the official account by

General (Field-Marshal) as a reward for his services.
The Minister on the 21st presented the new tariff
to the Chamber of Deputies. It is expected to be
strongly opposed.

PRUSSIA.

An insurrection has broken out in the district of the
Moselle. Several arrests have taken place in Berlin.
An army is collecting at Erfurt, in which city it
is intended to convene the new German Parliament.

The Cologne Gazette publishes the following let-
ter from Berlin of the 22d :—" Official intelligence
has arrived here that the Russian fleet has sailed
from Cronstadt to protect the integrity of Denmark,
and, under that appearance, with hostile intentions
towards Prussia. The official note on the matter is
of great length, and declares positively that the occu-
pation of Jutland causes the question of Schleswig-
Holstein to become an European one, and to be parti-
cularly interesting to Russia, It strongly blames the
conduct of Prussia in the affair, and intimates that if
the Prussian Cabinet shall not immediately evacuate
Jutland, amicable relations between Prussia and
Russia cannot be maintained. The Prussian Cabi-
net has sent off General RAucu to the Emperor of
Russ/A, to assure him that it only makes war against
Denmark by order of the Central Government, and
that it will employ its efforts to bring about peace.

BAVARIA.
A Provisional Government has been proclaimed at
Spire in the Bavarian Palatinate on the 22d. In the
evening it received a deputation from Alsace, which
expressed the sympathies of the French people, and
offered if necessary energetic assistance.
It appears that it is not true that, as announced by
a Frankfort journal, the Bavarian Chambers have
been dissolved ; but the dissolution is considered in-
evitable. On the 21st the Chamber of Deputies
adopted, by 72 votes to 62, an address containing a
declaration of want o f confidence in the Ministry, for
their recent declarations on the German question.

Altogether the journal sustains its character.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.—The Hon. Newton Fellowes
has given orders to have a great quantity of his coppices
and brakes, in the neighbourhood of Eggesford and
Chawleigh, cleared and broken up for tillage, which is
now affording a large amount of labour to the poor;
immense tracts, which but a few years since were planted
with furz?, for the purpose of affording shelter for the
foxes, are now undergoing that change which will soon,

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

The opera of Semiramide was repeated here on
Saturday evening, and Mademoiselle Parodi more
than confirmed the favourable impression which she
had made on Tuesday by her magnificent im-
personation of the Assyrian Queen. Her per-
formance on Saturday was even superior to that
on Tuesday. It had greater breadth and colouring.
On her first appearance the sympathies of her audience
were excited, and were carried to a climax by the
tomb scene, the scene with Assur, and the last scene
with Arsace. Her rendering of the "Giorno d'orrore"
in this last scene was excessively fine. It was diffi-
cult to whom to assign the palm, to Parodi or to
A lboni in this exquisite duet, which was re-demanded
with enthusiasm. The " Bel raggio," in the first
act, was a perfect marvel of brilliant execution. She
was frequently called before the curtain during the
course of the evening, and at the conclusion of the
duet was honoured with a separate call. The beauti-
ful ballet of Fiorita, with its statues and fountains,
concluded the evening's entertainment.

ASTLEY 'S ROYAL AMPHI-
THEATRE.

The recent campaign in the Punjaub is the subject
of the new grand Eastern spectacle, which Mr. Batty
intends producing this evening for the amusement of
the Whitsuntide holiday-makers ; it is entitled
lifooltan and Goojerat, and embraces all the prin-
cipal incidents of the campaign. It will be followed
by the scenes in the circle, in which the celebrated
Marie Macarte will appear, and the favourite drama
of the White Maid of Calffornia will conclude the
entertainments.
