RED LION INN and POSTING-HOUSE, BOSTON.
CAROLINE MINTON takes the earliest oppor-
tunity of expressing her grateful thanks to the public for the
very liberal support they have bestowed upon her late husband, and
more especially to those kind friends who have sympathised with
her in her deep affliction ; and begs most respectfully to inform them
that, with the assistance of her Son, she purposes carrying on the
Red Lion Inn, and the Business attached to it, in all its branches ;
in which she trusts she shall meet with a continuance of their
patronage, which she will endeavour by every effort in her power
to merit. It will be the aim of Caroline Minton and her Son to
retain for the Red Lion Inn the character it has hitherto borne, of
a comfortable Family Hotel ; to increase its accommodation to those
agricultural friends who have so long frequented it; to extend its
advantages as a Commercial Inn ; to pay unremitting attention to
the Posting Department; and, by selling none but the best Wines
and Spirits, and paying constant regard to the wishes of her guests,
to strive to gain the favourable opinion of every class of her
customers.

30.* The Red Lion Brewery will be conducted as usual, under the
most careful superintendence, and with a due regard to the produc-
tion of the best article, at the lowest prices consistent with a fair
remuneration.

Her Majesty's Theatre opened last evening for the season,
and, notwithstanding the difficulties with which Mr. Lumley
has had to contend, notwithstanding that it opened with an
almost entirely new orchestra, an entirely new chorus, and,
with one exception, an entirely new company, the opening
night of the season of 1841 is without comparison the best
opening night of any opera season within our remembrance.
The orchestra is the most perfect that has ever performed
within these walls—more fall and more complete than the
former orchestra; there is also a greater degree of ensemble in
its performance. Mr. Balfe conducts it as though it were
one great instrument, which he guides according to his vo-
lition. It has, moreover, the advantage of numbering among
ifs members the Chevalier Anglois, the greatest contrabassist
in the world, who is what Dragonetti was twenty years ago.
The orchestra is peculiarly rich in bass instruments, and the
effect produced by the unison of the violincellos, the double
basses, the trumpets, and. the trombones, is indescribably
sublime. The chorine too, is very strong, and admirably
drilled, and, unlike the old chorus, instead of arranging them-
selves in a semicircle on the stage, each chorus singer is an
actor and takes a part in the scene. They divide into groups
and re-unite, and net, instead of standing still like automatons.
The greatest credit is elne to Mr. Balfe for the infinite
pains he must have taken in making the orchestra and chorus
so perfect, and we congratulate Mr. Lumley on having en-
gaged the most perfect orchestra, and the most perfect chorus
ever heard within these walls. The opera was Donizetti's La
Favorita, the plot and music of which is familiar to every
English playgoer, and the following was the cast :
Fernando, Signor Gardoni (his first appearance in this
country); Alfonso XI., King of Castile, Signor Superchi (his
first appearance); Bahlassans Signor Bouche (his first ap-
pearance); Leenora, Mdlle. Sanchioli; Ines, Mdlle. Nascio
(her first appearance in this country). Signor Gardoni is
quite worthy of the high fame which he has acquired. His
voice is a tenor of moderate power, of considerable compass,
of great flexibility, and of excessive sweetness. It is capable
of great variety of expression, and is completely under ma-
nagement. Judging from his Fernando, we should say that
the tender and the paLl:et.'s is his fin*. In Elvirtot for in-
stance, we should opine that he would be inferior only to
Rubini. He is a remarkably handsome man. His features
are perfectly classical. To look at him in repose he seems
the model of some antique statue. The duet with Sanchioli in
the first act was exquisitely given, and the grand scene at the
conclusion of the third act, in which he casts his broken
sword at the feet of the King, was given with great spirit.
The great triumph, however, was the fourth act, the whole
weight of which rests upon the tenor, and nobly did Gardoni
sustain it. Nothing could exceed the exquisite expression,
the tender, heart-rending pathos which he infused into the
romanza in the fourth act (perhaps the chef d'ceuvre of Do-
nizetti) ; and the duet which follows with Sanchioli, and
which may be considered as the finale of the opera, was given
with an intensity that went at once to the heart. Signor
Gardoni is still young. He has a brilliant career before him.
We give him four years to be the first tenor in the world, not
by sufferance merely, but to be universally acknowledged as
such. Signor Superchi is one of the most wonderful bari-
tones we have ever heard. Never has there been heard a
voice of such depth, such power, such firmness, and at the
same time such wonderful flexibility. To the depth of the bass
it superadds the flexibility of the most flexible of tenors.
Superchi is moreover a great actor, and " makes up" with
great taste. His Alphonso, whether considered musically or
histrionically, was perfect. The celebrated duet with
Leonora was superbly given by Superchi and Sanchioli, and
was rewarded with a rapturous encore. His aria in the
second act was given with exquisite taste Like Gardoni he
is young, like Gardoni he enunciates with beautiful distinct-
ness—like Gardoni he is a perfect musician, and like Gar-
doni he will at no distant period be the first singer of his class.
Gardoni.and Superchi will be ere long, the new Rubini and
Tamburini. Bouche has a magnificent bass voice, which
was of immense service in the concerted pieces, and is more-
over a good actor. Leonora is certainly the best character
in which Mademoiselle Sanchioli has yet appeared.
Her splendid voice enabled her to do full
justice to the music, and her energetic style of acting told
admirably in Leonora, which is, par excellence, a character
of energy. Mademoiselle Nascio is very young and very
pretty; she had little to do, but that little she did well. The
opera was admirably put on the stage, and there was alto-
gether a completeness about the manner of its production
which we have never before observed on an opening night.
The principal artistes were called for at the conclusion of the
third act, and also at the conclusion of the opera. The
National Anthem was sung by the whole corps, after which
the new ballet of Coralia was produced with the following
cast :—Coralia, Mdlle. C. Rosati (her first appearance); the
Knight Hildebrand, M. Paul Taglioni ; Squire, M. Gouriet ;
Bertha. Mdlle. Petit; Page, Mdlle. Honore ; Duke, M. Gros-
selin ; Fraisondin, Al. Venefra; Fisherman, M. di Mettle.
Tis ballet is founded on the Baron de la Motte Fouquf's
beautiful tale of Undine. It is in five tableaux, and the fol-
lowing is the plot :
" Sir Hildebrand, of Ringstetten, is victor at a tournament
given by the Grand Duke, and attracts the attention of the
Prince's adopted daughter, Bertha. She presents him with
her scarf, which possesses magical properties, but requires
him to enter the 'Enchanted Forest,' of which wondrous
legends are related. With that chivalric deference to beauty
so prevalent in feudal times, Sir Hildebrand obeys her com-
mand, and actually forces his way through the forest. The
Marine King, Troisondin (the Kuhleborn of La Mothe-
Fouqui), the most potent spirit of thillaellte7 has directed
the steps of the knight towards the luft of a poor fisherman.
This simple abode forms an afire le contrastirto the
scenes of splendour which Sir Hildebrand has lately quitted.
The old fisherman and his wife receive him hospitably; but
the principal charm of the cottage is their adopted daughter,
the lovely Coralia (the ljndine of Feuqui), who is at once
Palirsnisivater alynticit.:;aatt4.liteerserezie Jeri &Ate_ ;ede
and, though alma has been reared by mortals, retains all the
sportiveness of her peculiar nature. Her heedless conduct
in the presence of the stranger draws upon her the reproof of
the fisherman's wife, but the playful girl is unwilling to bea
of
restraint, and in a fit of ill-humour bounds out th
cot-
tage. A violent storm arising, the old people and the knight
become alarmed for the safety of Coralia, and go in search_ of
her; at last she is found by Hildebrand reposing on a bed of
leaves in the middle of the large lake, which supplies the
fisherman with the means of subsistence. By the aid of the
scarf which Bertha had given him, Hildebrand draws her to
the bank. Their mutual love is now avowed;
nymphs, of

the fisherman and his wife, who have come to the same part

of the lake, Sir Hildebrand declares his intention to marry
Coralia, and the union takes place without delay, the awful
Troisondin attending as an unseen witness of the ceremony.
" The return of Sir Hildebrand to the court of the Grand
Duke at first occasions general delight; but the joy of Berthas
is changed to sorrow on perceiving that her former lover Da

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—We are much surprised that the editor of the Medical
Gazette, is his last number of February 12, at page 285,
should attempt to screen Dr. Sir Theodore de Mayerne from
participation in the murder of Sir Thomas Overbury by
poison administered " medicinally," and this, too, in the face
of such an eminent jurist as Mr. Amos. As to Mayerne being
retained in the King's service after the death of Overbury and
Pence Henry (which is relied upon by the Gazette as proof
of his innocence), it is, in our judgment, no inference what-
ever in his favour, but rather the contrary, since it was the
King's interest to keep the poisoning a secret. In conclu-
sion,
we beg to state that we have shown, in all their bear-
ings, by an illustration, the dangers to which all classes of
her Majesty's subjects are exposed so long as deadly chemical
preparations are held out "medicinally," whether by doctors
or no doctors, the whole of which is made palpable to the
meanest capacity. The illustration may be had at the
Hygeist office, 368, Strand, London, and, in our opinion,
should be in the possession of every individual.—We are, Sir,
your obedient servants, the Members of the British College
of Health, ler and on behalf of Hygeists.—Feb. 15,1847.

TO THE EDIT OR OF THE SUN.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Siit,—The Rev. Mr. Alpinele published in yesterday's
Chronicle a statement, showing the number of people holding
land in his parish, and the quantity of acres possessed by
each. This statement, the reverend gentlemaq, says, " gives
that there is hope for Irelapd in that part of the Midi ferisi
policy so strongly censured by the Hon. Member for Bath."
With great deference, I submit that the example stated
by the reverend gentleman is widely different from the Minis-
terial policy on this subject, as clearly proved by the following
table :

and the sales amounted only to 1,000 bales, at about previous

steady, and a good proportion of the shares were sold. The

The large majority against Lord George Bentinck's Rail-
way Bill for Ireland has afforded much satisfaction
here, because it will afford Government a reasonable
opportunity of proposing its financial measures unshackled
by engagements previously entered into by Parliament.
Most persons expect a plan from Lord John Russell that will
partly meet the object sought by the protectionists, and not
derange the money market so much. Until the budget is
announced, it is not considered probable that the Bank of
England will further advance the rate for discounts.
Advices of December 20, from the Cape of Good Hope,
state that there had been no further hostilities between the
Kafirs and troops, but that matters could not be considered
to be entirely settled. The Brilliant had arrived at Pert
Elizabeth with stores, and 40,0001. in apeele. The Kafirs,
who bad submitted were in course of location. The latest
dates received out from England were to Sept. 30.
In the Grand Duchy of Baden great regard for the poor is
manifested, for in all the provinces of that state, councils,
made up of clergymen, burgomasters, and the leading
citizens, have been appointed, whose duty is to see that the
unemployed poor are set to work on things of public utility,
and also to make wholesale purchases of provisions to be sold
to them at a moderate price, or given gratuitously, as cir-
cumstances may require. The means will arise from the
contributions of the benevolent, and the funds of the different
communes ; and in cases where the communes are too
poor for the purpose, then at the expense of the State.
In 1839, says a letter from St. Petersburgh, the Empress
of Russia expressed her satisfaction at the first attempts of
the Agronomical Society of Moscow to introduce the cultiva-
tion of silk into that country, and ordered a small. establish-
ment for that purpose to be prepared at the Castle of Hude •
netz, under the superintendence of the Horticultural Society
of Moscow. This patronage led several Russian. adies
to establish plantations for that purpose to which
they attended personally. Amongst these was the
Lady 'Berednikef; wife of the Privy Councillor
of that name, who in the year 1845 obtained a sufficient
quantity of silk for the production of various articles of
elegance for the exhibition in that city, and which, being
afterwards sent as a nuptial present to the Archduchess Olga,
obtained for the Lady Berednikof a magnificent gift of bril-
liant earrings from the Empress of Russia, in token of her
approval of the success attending her cultivation of this new
article of industry.
The English Funds have been very well supported again
to-day, and the large ministerial majority has reassured the
speculators. Consols are 90% to 91 for present transfer
and the 25th instant. The value of Exchequer-
bills has rallied to one shilling and lout shillings premium.
A funding of this security, since the March bills are to be re-
newed at lid. per centutn per diem, appears to be determined
on. Bank Stock has been quoted at 203 to 204, and India

There are many other considerations showing the total
want of all analogy between the two cases, which will imme-
diate suggest themselves to the minds of those of your
readers who have paid attention to the subject—into these it is
unnecessary to enter.— I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
London, Feb. 16. RIGBY WASON.

The mortality of London, and indeed, of England
generally, shows a gradual annual decrease, whilst it is well
known the population increases considerably. The rates of
premium for life insurance have been greatly reduced during
the last few years, yet the offices continue as prosperous as
formerly. These facts clearly demonstrate that some cause,
either unknown or unheeded, must have produced such
favourable results. Amongst these causes, the increased
knowledge of anatomy, and the many very valuable disco-
veries in medicine, will stand most prominent. The small-
pox, that annually carried off thousands, has been success-
fully combatted by vaccination ; and Gout, that used to claim
its numerous victims, has been thoroughly vanquished by
Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills.
The Gazette of last evening contains a proclamation,
by the Queen, for the election of a Peer of Scotland, in the
room of John Lord Rollo, deceased.

RISE IN BENTS IN EDINBURGH.—The rents
houses, shops, &c., within the city for the current year are
much higher as compared with the former. But the land-
lords have made a most serious and ungracious advance on
the cents of next year. In some cases sixty per cent. over
the rent of the present year has been added to that of next.—
Edinburgh Post.
THE NEW BISHOPS.—It is stated that the new sees
are to be-1. St. Albans, made up of portions of the present
dioceses of Rochester and London.-2. Leeds or Nottingham.
—3. Cornwall.-4. Manchester. It has been said that these
sees are only to be created according as the surplus in the
hands of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners &ball be sufficient
to provide revenues for the new sees.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAIL-
WAY.—TUNRamos, TUESDAY.—Last evening about twenty-
five minutes past six o'clock, a frightful occurrence took
place on this line, by which an old man named John Seal,
upwards of ninety years of age, met with a horrible death.

between the lines until the engine him • *g

forty yards, when to the amazement of those in charge of the
train he stepped on to the line on which •rt was travelling.
The driver instantly shut off the steam, and the firemen ap-
plied the break, the whistle going all the time, but it was
im-
possible to save the man's life, for in a few seconds he was
struck down and the entire train passed over him. On it
being stopped the guards found the poor old man to be
dreadfully mutilated, and quite dead. In the course of
the night the body was identified to be that of John Seal,
residing in the village of Four Elms, in the parish of Blax-
ted, a few miles from Edenbridge. He was not employed
on the line.
NIGHTLY SHELTER FOR THE HOUIBLESS POOR.—
Yesterday the committee of the above association made a
further report of the number of individuals of both sexes
who, during the inclemency of the weather, have sought
shelter since the opening of their establishments on the 14th
December. In the Central Asylum, Playhouse-yard, St.
Luke's, 5,067 were received ; in the Eastern Asylum, Glass-
house-street, East Smithfield, 3,820: and the extern Asy-
lum, Ogle-street, Marylebone, 4,455; altogether amounting
to 13,342 individuals, amongst whom have been distributed
145,707 rations. The average number received nightly is
1,200.

ILLNESS OF LORD TORUINGTON.—For several days
last week his Lordship was considered in imminent danger,
and it was almost doubted whether he could recover. A
favourable turn took place in his Lordship's state on Thurs-
day, and he has been since improving, but so
slowly
as not
yet to be pronounced out of danger.—Maidstone Gazette.
THE MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, FEB. 16. The
