LYCEUM -THEATRE.

The opera of Guy Manner/7:g was revived at t his
theatre last evening, for the benefit of Miss Kathleen
Fitz within's, who made her first appearance in the
character of Lucy Bertram, and achieved a complete
success, earning for herself a well merited encore in the
ever delightful ballad "Oh! slumber my darling." The
piece was very strongly cast, Miss Cushman appearing
as Meg Mortifies, Mr. Donald King (who introduced
the beautiful ballad of " John Andersom my Joe," and
sang it exquisitely) as Barry Bertram, and Har-
ley as Dominie Sampson. The great at-
traction of the performance was of, course, the
Meg Merrilies of Miss Cushman, and, frequently
as we have been delighted by the performances of this
lady, never have we seen any of her creations so mar-
vellous as is this of Meg Merrilies. Her Bianca, terrific
from its energy, stamped her at once as an artiste of
genius; her Lady Macbeth proved her to be far and away
the greatest Shaksperian actress on the boards on either
side of the Atlantic; her Rosalind proved the versatility
of her genius, aiid was as wonderful for its playfulness,
its humour, and its thorough high and ladylike feeling,
as her Bianca was for its intensity, and her Lady Mac-
beth for its power. Then came that most wonderful of
all her performances save one, her Romeo—
she, and she alone, of all who have ever trodden the
stage in our days, has thoroughly entered into the
spirit of the vehement Italian boy, whom love, by its
magic, in one hour transforms into a man, a man in
thought, a man io:aims and aspirations, but still a boy in
impassioned feelings. We remember the Romeo of
Charles Kemble, a gentlemanly, well-studied, careful
performance, but too full of care, too manly, too old for
Romeo. It was left for Miss Cushman to show us the
Romeo that Shakspero intended. Untramelled: by
traditional' stage conventionalities, she, in fact
created the part. 'We have spoken of her Romeo as
the most wonderful of all her performances save
one, and that one is Meg Merrilies. In Romeo she had
but to follow Shakspere's teaching, and never had
Sbakespere pupil more apt, but in Meg Merrilies she
had to do that which the author ought to have done for
her, to compose the part, to discover the key to the t
cha-
racter, to develop in action and manner that !Lie,:
aids
and set down for her in words, and withb
e
and hints which she mightw hgather h Walterefrom dramatisthad made
Scott to
clothe the mere skeleton
of the part with real flesh and blood, to ani-
mate it with feeling and passion, and to raise
that which her predecessors had made a mere melo-
dramatic exaggeration into a character of the very
highest order of tragedy, and this Miss Cushman has
done, and by doing has shown how true genius com-
municates a portion of its own power to everything it
touches. The first thing that strikes us in the Meg
Merrilies of Miss Cushman is the utter abnegation of
self; this is apparent even from her make-up of the part—
there is no attempt to avoid the :squalor and the
rags of the old gipsy, no little under-
current of female vanity apparent in the shape
of a particularly neat apron or coquettishly-
disposed bit of ribbon, as we have seen
frequently the case with other actresses who have to
appear in squalor and rags, but there she stands the very
identical gipsy that appeared to Henry Bertram and
Dandie Dinmont on the moor. Until we saw Miss
Cushman we were inclined to consider the character of
Meg Merrilies as an unnatural character. In her
hands, however, Meg is anything but unnatural. That
fiery eye, that intent and earnest gaze, that hollow
voice, those grand and queen-like gestures, made more
sublime from the strong contrast they form with the
attire' and station of her who uses them, all proclaim
that she has faith in her own mission, and not a barren
faith, but one calculated to create a like faith in all that
come near her; awe-struck at her own powers, whicheeilno
believes to be supernatural; she creates a like awe
d aww'e are
all those with whom she comes in contact,
a prayer, when he finds himselfu
bout the memor-
ablenot at all astonished at Dandie Dinmont's re-
memberidneasdiraentgoerofhaving an interview with her. Thro
Miss Cush:nen was sublime ;it was

bids them to harm Henry Bertram. She stood indeed
in rags, but in her rags queen-like—ay ! more queen-
like than, in her royal robes, Semiramide.
The last act was a perfect triumph, ending
in the climax of her martyrdom, for martyrdom indeed
it was when she sealed her testimony by her blood; and
then her dying scene—it was beautiful, tender, pa-
thetic, such as words cannot describe, albeit
the heart throbs and the throat choke's, and the
eyes become suffused even with the recollection of it.
It was a thing to be seen, not described, and once seen
never to be forgotten. As we stated on a former oc-
casion, we believe Miss Cushman is about soon to quit
our shores, we trust not for ever. We hope she will re-
turn to us after having paid her native land
a visit ; indeed we claim her as ours, for
genius is of language, not of country. Shakspere is
American as much as English, and Miss Cushman is
English as much as American. We have been so led
away by our enthusiasm that we have only left our-

selves space to Eay that the other characters were ably
supported, and that the house was well attended. We
hope that before Miss Cushman leaves us she will be
induced to play a round of her principal characters•
A farewell engagement, if she could be induced to
accept one, could not but prove a most profitable opectl•
lation to any manager.

.ARRIAGE (SCOTLAND) BILL.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUE.
Sin,—The Bill for altering the Law of Marriage
which has existed in Scotland since the Reformation is
to be read a third time to-morrow night. As it is of
the utmost moment to the morality of Scotland, and as
Scottish affairs seldom obtrude themselves upon your
notice, I trust that you will make room for these remarks.
And first, it is a Bill against the stomach of the
Scottish people, as the almost unanimous petitioning
against it shows.
It is a Bill upon the policy of which we have the
evidence of only three English lawyers, the Committee
by a majority refusing to examine a Scottish lawyer
at all.
It is a Bill on the policy of which we have the evidence
of no one peculiarly able to estimate its moral effect,
the Committee having refused to examine any clergy-
man, or indeed any other than the three English lawyers;
and Lord Brougham, when asked the moral effect of the
law as at present existing, answering candidly (p. 18),
" I really profess to have no competent opinion upon that
subject." Yet that is the whole point in issue.
It is a Bill which is on the face of it a mistake,
for it is forced to provide for the very great
inconveniences it produces a remedy of the most
ludicrous kind—to create a registrar at Edinburgh,
with papal power of dispensation, upon the payment of
the sum of three pounds, a scheme of legal indulgences,
placed in the uncontrolled and unguided discretion of
nobody knows who he may be.
It is a Bill carried through Parliament upon the faith
of cases which bad no peculiar existence under the Scot-
tish law: the Lord Advocate not knowing, as it would
seem, that bigamy exists elsewhere than in Scotland, end
no less frequently; and Lord Brougham not knowing
that there were cases as painful in English law u that
stated in his ninth answer; Mr. with subtle
irony, asking if it was a Scotch case.
It is a Bill changing, in Scotland, marriage into se-
duction. Dr. Lushingtoe, speaking of England, says in
the 78th answer:—"l am satisfied that in this country
a great many of the calamitous instances which we have
of seduction arise from the promise cum copula. It is
very true that that cannot constitute marriage by our
law, but the promise produces the same effect, for the
woman relies upon it as if it were an actual marriage."
This is a marriage by the law of nature; it is at present
a marriage by the law of Scotland; you now create it a
seduction.
It is a Bill making the judgments of the law clear and
easy by negativing whatever does not come up to a certain
standard, and thus working a wrong for the convenience
of the lawyer, instead of shaping the law to enforce
every contract.
It is a Bill in this way creating bastards by refusing
to acknowledge what is a marriage by the law of nature
a marriage by the law of Scotland.
It is a Bill which sacrifices the innocent offspring in
protecting a seducer from the consequent inconveniences,
giving him a chance of slaking his passion without fear
of " a rash disposition of th largest estates and the
highest honours."
It is a Bill which, in place of bringing the law as
close as possible to good morality, which is the law of
nature, carries it away as far as possible from it. Adul-
tery is a crime by the law of nature. Seduction
is none. Look at the Decalogue; is seduction there?—
it is not, because by the law of nature seduction is mar.
riage. Seduction is a creature of the civil law, fund
especially aggrandized by this Bill.
Look at the vexatious clause, compelling a constant
residence in one parish for a fortnight before marriage.
Look at the requiring a certificate from the the registrar,
who may have no personal knowledge of that fact. Look
at the fact of the registration being conclusive evidence,
which, if it means anything, means evidence that can
never be rebutted—and then say whether our successors
will revere the wisdom of their ancestors.

TAKING THE STARCH OUT OE

'EM—A COLD WATER SKETCH.
A knot of idlers stood upon the end of a pier which
ran out into the Hudson River, in one of the small
towns near Albany, a few days ago, amusing themselves
with hurling stones into the broad stream, each
Tieing with his neighbour in the endeavour to pitch
a missile to the farthest distance from the shore,
when a tell, rugged- built Vermonter, direct from the
Green Hills, suddenly made his appearance in their
midst, and fur a while remained a quiet observer of their
movements. He was a very brawny, strong-looking
Yankee, and was very decently clad. The efforts of the

- -
little party had been exhibited over and over again, when
the stranger pick, d up half a brick which lay near him,
and giving it a jerk, it tell in the water a long way beyond
the line which had as yet been reached by the foremost of
the crowd. At the conclusion of this feat a loud "bravo!"
went up from half a dozen voices around him. It was
a cold, clear day in October, and the men, determined
not to be outdone, renewed their attempts; but the Ver-
monter, without saying a syllable to any one, continued
to pitch the pebbles far out into the stream, which
seemed to annoy one of them in a green jacket, the ap-
parent leader of the gang, who declared he would'nt be
beat( n by a " fellow right and straight out of the
woods, any how;" and sliding up to the stranger,
he determined to make his acquaintance. " Where do
you come from neighbour?" inquired the other. "Me?
`'Val, I hails from Vermount, jes now, friend." " Mint
been in these parts long, I reckon?" "Wal—no.
Not edzactly yere—but up and daown, sorter." " Yis,
so I 'sposed." " )(ass," continued the green 'un,
carelessly, and seizing a big billet of wood, he
twirled it over his head, and it landed several
rods from the shore in the water. " You've a

little strength in your arms, neighbor." " Some
pumpkins—is them flippers, stranger, up in our taown,
more'n a month ago, I driv them are knuckles rite
strait thur a board more'n a ninch 'naff thick." " Haw,
haw," shouted the hearers, the man in the green jacket
laughing loudest. " May be you don't believe it."
" Not much," answered the crowd. " We aint very green
down here in York—we aint," said the fellow in the
green jacket; " we've been about, you see." " Wal, jes
you look yere, friend," continued the Vermonter, in
the most plausible manner, " up in aour county, we've a
purty big river, considerin'—lnvun River, it's called, and
may be you've hearn on it. Wal, I hove a man clean
across that river t'other day, and he camp down fair and
square on t'other side." "lls, ha, ha," yelled his audi-
tors. " Wal, naow, you may laff, but I can deu it agin."
"Do what?" said the green-jacket quickly. "I kin
take and hove you across that river just like open and
shot." "Bet you 10 dollars of it." "Done." said the
Yankee, and drawing forth (upon a broken Down-East
bank) he covered the shinplaster. "Kin yeu swim, fel-

A terrific shout rang through the crowd as he
floundered into the water, and amidst the jeers and
screams of his companions, the duck loafer put back on
the shore, and scratched up the bank half frozen by this
sudden and involuntary cold bath. " I'll take that ton
spots, if you please," said he, shivering rapidly to the
stakeholder. "You took us for green-horns, eh ? We'll
show you how we do things here in York," and the
feller claimed the twenty dollars. " Wal, I reckon you
won't take no ten-spots jest yet, cap'n." "Why ?
You've lost the bet." " Not edzactly. I didn't kalki-
late on deuing it the fust time; but I tell yeu I kin deu it"
—and again, in spite of the loafer's utmost efforts to
escape him, ho seized him by the neck and the seat
of his over-ails, and pitched him three yards farther
into the river than upon the first trial ! Again

mates, who enjoyed the sport immensely. " Third

off his coat ; " I kin deu it,

CHATHAM, JULY 4.—Private James Brown, of the
17th Company of the Royal Marines, who was tried
last week by a general court-martial for disobeying the
lawful orders given by Colour-sergeant Michael Rogers,
his superior officer, and found guilty, received corporal
punishment of fifty lashes in the presence of the batta-
lion, and the prisoner is further to undergo imprison-
ment with hard labour for 168 days in the military pri-
son, Fort Clarence.

TILE LONGITUDE.—It being considered interesting
and important to the commercial marine of the United
States and of the United Kingdom to ascertain with
correctness the difference of longitude between the Ob-
servatory at Cambridge, Boston, and that at Liverpool,
it is proposed by the United States' Government to ac-
complish this object by means of marine chronometers to
be transported across the Atlantic to and from Boston in
the British and North American royal mail steamers;
and, for this to be effected, arrangements will be made
with the authorities in this country that when the chro-
nometers arrive at Livcapool on their returu from Bos-
ton, they may be transmitted with all possible care and
dispatch to the Liverpool Observatory.

AMSTERDAM, JULY 2.—TEE BOURSE.—lnland
Funds were in demand at the opening of the Bourse,
but there was a gradual decline, and they closed at a
depreciation. Russian and Amsterdam Funds on the
other hand were unusually steady. Spanish, French,
and Portuguese without fluctuation.
AMSTERDAM, JULY 2.—Our Vienna correspondent
has communicated to us a document which is of great
importance to the holders of Austrian funds; it is an
Imperial decree dated June 20th, stating that holders
may receive in exchange for their coupons an
equivalent sum calculated at 250 Wiener
Waerhung per cent. in a new fund which
bears interest at five per cent., payable in specie, either
at Frankfort or Amsterdam. By a decision of the
25th the Austrian Minister of Finance has decided
that all persons who desire to avail themselves of this
decree are at liberty to state whether they wish to
have the interest paid at Frankfort or Amsterdam.—
Ifandelsblad.
AMSTERDAM, JULY S.—Yesterday afternoon her
Royal Highness Princess Marianne quitted this city
to commence her tour for Syria. She embarked on
board the steamer William 1., Captain Savart. She
was accompanied by a suite of twelve persons,
among whom are the Rev. J. H. Van Sen-1
den of Zwolle. Her Royal Highness proposes
to touch at Bordeaux, at Lisbon, and some of the
principal ports of the Mediterranean, before she pro-
ceeds to Jaffa, whence she will commence her tour
through Syria and the Holy Land.
THE HAGUE, JULY 2.—The Government steamer
Cerberus arrived here on the 30th from Vlaardingen ;
it is the forerunner of the herring fishery fleet, and
bad on board 58} tons of herrings. The usual offer-
ing of the first fruits of the fishery was presented to
the King and the Royal Family. The remainder
was sold this evening at 700 f. per ton. The steamer
reported that the fishery was extremely abundant
this season. The health of the men engaged in the
fishery, amounting to 1,600 persons, was good. The
Dutch herring fleet consists of 110 vessels.
THE CHOLERA.—Tbe morning's report from the
Cholera Hospital, of July 2, states that on the pre-
vious day 10 fresh cases were admitted, 7 persons
died, 3 recovered; remaining under treatment, 56.
At Leyden 42 persons were attacked on the 28th
and 29th, of whom 31 died. Total number of cases
301, deaths 154, recoveries 23, under treatment 124.
66 cases have been admitted into the Cholera Hos-
pital since the 10th, of these 44 died, 4 recovered, 18
remain under treatment.
At Utrecht 15 fresh cases were brought in, and 7
proved fatal; remaining under treatment, 8.
No fresh reports have been received from other
parts of the country, but the foregoing show that the
disease has assumed a very malignant character.—
,Dutch Papers, July 3.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.
BOROUGH, JULY 2.—The accounts continue to come
unfavourable from the hop plantations. The duty has
been done at 80,000/. and 90,0001. We have a firm
market; the hops on sale are pretty much the inferior
sorts.
MAIDSTONE.—The blues have not retrograded, and by
some are considered to have improved during the past
week. In many parishes of this immediate district, foul
as they are they do well to maintain their ground. A
few weeks warm nights and genial showers might even
yet offer them a chance of recovery, but the season is
slipping on, and the nights are chilly to a degree almost
unprecedented at this time of the year. Cultivation will
probably tell, should a favourable chance arise, but at
present the crop seems to " hang fire " in a way which
is anything but pleasant to the eye of the planter.
YALDING AN]) II UNTON.—The hops in some few
grounds continue in a growing state, and bid fair for a
crop, while others, and the great majority, are almost
overcome with fly, flea, &c., e hich it appears almost im •
possible for them to surmount.
MALLING.—The hops grow, considering their foul
state. Some grounds are weak and short of bine; others
throw out healthy looking branches, but the vermin,
which are as thick as ever, follow them up to the very
tips.
HUNTON.—Although it cannot be said that our hops
are free from vermin, yet hitherto they have been less
infested than many others. Consequently, unless we
have a more serious attack, at this late season, we have
at present, pretty generally, the prospect of growing
some good hops—many, it cannot be, for, like the great
bulk of the plantations, our bine is far from being full
and vigorous.
IGIITHAN AND SEAL.—Within the last few days
there is a decided improvement in the hops, and, unless
there is an increase of fly, hopes are entertained of
A crop.
CRANBROOK.—There is still a considerable quantity
of vermin and honey-dew on the bine, and it is the opi-
nion of some connoisseurs in this neighbourhood that
there can be but few hops grown here this season.
HORSMONDEN.—lmprovement has been observed in
some gardens this week, and in most grounds a great
decrease of fly; but lice and honey-dew are as prevalent
as ever. The strong bines (of which we have a good
portion in our parish) are still in a growing state.
LAMBERHURST.—T 110 hops in this parish are looking
very bad. The lice are daily increasing. and every pro.
bability of their going black. Our prospects are very
discouraging.
BRENCHLEY.—The reports from our planters are some-
what contradictory. Some are of opinion there are some
clean shoots appearing; on the other hand it is quite
evident we have more fresh fly. On the whole there is
no improvement.
HAWES VAST. —The hops are very bad, and many
grounds in this vicinity are hopeless.
WROTHADI.—The hops here are in a very unfavour-
able state, the insect being decidedly on the increase.
The honey-dew also is still seen in many gardens.
GOUDHURST. —ln the early part of the week there was
a considerable decrease of vermin, and the honey dew is
also disappearing. This change has taken place upon
the strong grounds. The weakly land in the first growth
still continue so, but still the bine has made considerable
progress this week. There is a very small quantity of
fly guldings as compared with former years; a few
niggers are to be seen.
SHARDEN AND BIDDENDEN.—In S3lllO grounds the
vermin is on the decrease; the niggers have made their
appearance. In general. the bine presents a very un-
healthy appearance. Unless there should come a
favourable time for the Midsummer shoot, there must be
but a very short crop.
ORPINGTON. —The hops about here are much in the
same state as last week, still there is a slight improve-
ment. The rain on Friday night has somewhat revived
them.
CANTERBURY.—The hops everywhere present the
Most unfavourable appearances. Laden with fly, lice,
and flea, and honey-dew dripping trom the bines, the
plant is fast sinking to an irretrievable state. The last
few days have been warm, but the nights, in some in-
stances, quite cold. Unless a speedy change ensue, of
settled warm weather—warm by night as well as by day
—the crop must be exceedingly small. Bets are freely
laid against 80,0001. General accounts speak of an in-
crease of fly and honey-dew—of the bine mostly being
very foul, black and curling, and altogether evidencing
no hope of half an ordinary crop, even if the weather
beareatter prove favourable.
EDENBRIDGE.—The best grounds are improving, but
the weak binea cannot do much. The niggers increase
yery fast.
HußST•GßEEN.—Generally speaking we can quote no
improvement in hops since our last; they continue in-
fested with vermin to a great extent. The midsummer
shoot seems very tardy in its progress.
TICEHURST.—We find a decided decrease of ver-
min this morning (July Ist), and an improvement in
the bine, particularly among the Jones's, has taken place
within the last few days.
Buewssa.—The bine in this neighbourhood is re-
ported to be less infested with vermin than hitherto.—
Maidstone Gazette, July 3.

LONDON PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.
The anniversary festiv..l of this unpretending, but moss
useful and benevolent society (tor providing the deserv-
ing
poor with bread and coals in all parts of the metro-
polis and its suburbs), was read yesterday at the London
Tavern, Henry Pownall, Esq., in the chair. The report
states:—
" Thelublic press has brought much to light which
before was concealed, through circumstances which have
called forth the prompt and vigorous interference of
several benevolent magistrates ; but these cases, numer-
ous and fearful as they are, form but a very limited por-
tion of the number which exist; while, heartrending as
not a few of them have been, they are greatly exceeded
by those by which the committee of this society have
lound themselves surrounded in the various streets and
courts of London. Among the cases now referred to,
whole families have been found, of from six

even more human beings. Not few
met with who were reared in the lap of plenty—who
commenced their career of life with prospects of the
most flattering order, but who, by uncontrollable provi
dential circumstances, have been reduced to a directly
opposite condition in life. Such are the objects which
this society seeks out, and to whom, as far as means are
furnished, aid is administered.
From the Ist of January, 1848, to the end of March,

We are glad to announce that this company is now in
full operation. Its object is the assurance of the lives of
passengers by railway; and inasmuch as 1,0001 may be
received for a few pence in the event of death during a
single journey, we should think all railway travellers
would avail themselves of so ample a mode of providing
for their families in the event of accident.-7 he Reporter
