GERMAN OPERA.

The German Opera season commenced at this
theatre yesterday evening. lierr Schumatm en-
couraged by the success of last' season, has left the
Prince's Theatre and taken Drury-lane, so that
he will no longer be prevented from giving
the fullest effect to the most splendid produc-
tions of the German operatic school, many of
which he found it hitherto absolutely impossible
to produce in consequence, of want _of space.
The opera chosen for the opening last evening
wasi Weber's masterpiece, Der Freischatz.
Madame Stoeckel Ilcinefetter was the Agatha,
a character in which she won " golden opinions"
last season. This lady is one of the most finished
artistes that we ever heard, critically correct in

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT.

•
her singing, never attempting more than the
composer has set down for her—(would that
other artistes, English and foreign, would, in
this point particularly, follow her example)—
exact in her observance of tone and time, she
throws a pathos and an energy into her singing
which produce an effect the more intense
from being without effect, and which contrasts
strongly with those tours de
,force in which
some other artistes indulge, and which, while
they create astonishment, but too frequently
shock good taste. Her grand scena in the
second act was perfect. It was the triumph of
correct taste and sound judgment. Hen.
Haitzinger of whom the frpiuenters 4,o#e

favourable impression, impression, was Max, the Rudolph of
the English translation ; and Caspar found an
able representative in Herr Sesselman. This
gentleman, who is from the Court Theatre of
esse Darmstadt, made his first appearance be-
fore an English audience last night. He possesses
a fine, clear, powerful bass voice, and, like all
Germans, is a thorough musician. He gave the
drinking song in excellent style, and was loudly
applauded. The great feature, however, of the
German Opera is the chorus, which is ad-
mirably directed by Herr Baerwolt. Those
who have never heard a chorus of Germans
can form no idea of the oneness, if the term is al-
lowable, of the effect produced. It is as if the
sounds and modulations proceeded from one
mighty organization, at the will, and under the
control, of one mind. We have heard well-
drilled choruses in England, in France, and in
Italy, but never have we heard any which can at
all approach a German chorus. The audience
last night seemed quite electrified by the Jager
chorus, which was twice encored. We have
often and often heard i t with &light, but never until
last evening did we fully appreciate the beauties of
that noble composition. We cannot close this notice
without paying a tribute to the exquisitely na-
tural acting of Madame Schumann, in the little
character of Annchen. The part did not afford
her any great opportunity of exhibiting her
ocal powers, but she made the most of that
which was afforded her, and in the duett with
Madame Stoeckel Heinefetter, at the opening of
the second act, she was warmly and most de-
servedly applauded. After the opera "God
Save the Queen" was sung by the whole com-
pany. Madame Stoeckel Heinefetter and
Haitzinger taking the solo parts. The orchestra,
which was complete in all its parts, was excel-
lently directed by Herr Ganz. Mr. Bunn, we
perceive, still continues his services as stage-
manager. Amongst the engagements we are
glad to see the names of Madame Schroeder Dev-
rient, Staudigl, Marschner, and Meyerbeer, the
composer of Robert le Diable and Les Huguenots.
This promises well. The house was crowded
last evening, and there is every prospect of the
present being even a more successful season for
the Germans than the last.

(From the Times.)
Rumours which reached us during the course of last week
had prepared us for the probable result of the Bishop of Exe-
ter's motion. Lord Bathurst's incorporation of the trustees of
the Seminary of Nicolet in IE2I appeared to the Duke of Wel-
lington to constitute a precedent for Lord Sydenham's incor-
poration of the ecclesiastics of the Seminary of St. Sulpice in
1841 ; the discovery of a precedent had the effect of setting all
questions of principle at rest ; and the Bishop, deserted by those
whose encouragement had urged him on to call upon the Peers
of Great Britain to interfere in•the case, was compelled, by
withdrawing his motion, to save himself from the mortifica-
tion of seeing it rejected. We must say, that upon this occa-
sion the Conservator leaders in the House of Lords do not seem to
us to have made a very creditable figure. We refer not so much
to the failure of the Duke of Wellington's memory as to transac-
tions in which he was officially engaged at solate a period as 1835.
What strikes us as the painful feature in the case is, that a
question.whieh on ,Thuritialf the 4th inst., was warmly taken
up on grounds of principle, should have been aband ,ned on
Monday, the 15th, for the sake of mere party considerations.
'l'he Right Rev. Mover proceeded from the first cautiously in
this matter, and gave no notice et any motion upon the sub-
ject till he had sounded the House, and received from the most
influential quarter the strongest assurances of support. What
was the tone of the Duke of Wellington on the 4th inst.? He
expressed his gratitude to the Bishop for bringing the matter
forward ; he spoke of Lord Sydenham's ordinance with indig-
nation, as an attempt to break in upon " the Protestant Con-
stitution of this country," as an unprecedented departure from
the " principles of the Reformation." The Bishop of Exeter
was emboldened (as who would not have been ?) by these and
other strong expressions of the illustrious Duke, to submit a do-
finite proposition on the subject, and we now see the result. The ,
Duke has been convinced in the interval, not that the ordinance
which moved his ind gnation on Fridayweek is reconcileable
with "the Protestant constitution of the country," but only
that it it is not unprecedented; that the example of a similar
"departure from the principles of the Reformation" was ori-
ginally set by a Tory Government, and thereupon all his indig-
nation vanishes. Conduct, which would have been unconsti-
tutional and illegal, if the Whigs had been the first to adopt
it, appears in a different light when sanctified by the associa-
tions of Toryism. Nor is this the only weak point in the
Duke's speech of yesterday. We should have expected from a
statesman of his experience and sagacity a greater knowledge
of constitutional law than was shown in his determination to
regard the charter of the trustees of Nicolet as a precedent
for Lord Sydenham's incorporation of the seminary of St.
Sulpiee. " The ordinance," he said, " established the corpo-
ration of St. Sulpice almost in the same words as the patent
establishing St. Nicolet, which was as much an ecclesiastical
corporation as the other, being composedv entirely of Roman
Catholic ecclesiastics and none other. Now this is purely alegal
question, and Lord Lyndhurst, or any other lawyer in the
House, could have told his Grace, that a corporation com-
posed entirely of Church of England ecclesiastics, for Church
of England objects, is not therefore an ecclesiastical corpora-
tion. The trustees of Nicolet, in short, are as much a lay
corporation as the rord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonalty of
the City of London. But the ecclesiastics of St. Sulpice, are
by Lord Sydenham's ordinance, expressly and in terms
erected into " an ecclesiastical or spiritual corporation, com-
munaute ecciesiastigue." The Duke of Wellington has evi-
dently no idea of the importance of this distinction, which,
nevertheless, is a most real one, and involves the whole ques-
tion whether the Roman Catholic is henceforth to be recog-
nized in Canada as the State religion or not; we shall rather
say, as one of the State religions ; for among other peculiari-
ties of this unhappy ordinance, it is the first overt act by which
the British Government has sanctioned the establishment of
two State religions in one colony and at the same time.
The Duke of Wellington seems to be alive to
the very serious defects of the ordinance upon the
score of legality, arising from its conflict with the
recent acts of Parliament relating to the government of
Canada ; but strangely enough, he treated these defects as ad-
ditional reasons for urging the Bishop of Exeter to withdraw
his motion. We cannot sufficiently express our regret that a
question involving so many important points of law should
have come on for discussion during the absence of the Learned
Judges on the Circuit. If ever there was an instance in which
the House of Lords had occasion for solemn consultation with
those grave authorities, it was assuredl this.
(From the Morning Chronicle.)
The Times continues its attacks upon Lord Ponsonby,
upon the assumption that all the harshness to be found in the
hatti scheriff was suggested by the personal enmity of our Am-
bassador. Nothing can be more groundless, either than the
assumption or the inference drawn from it. In the first place,
that which is denounced sts' extreme rigour in the firman is so
denounced upon a misapprehension of its real object. We
yesterday quoted the at gument of a French paper, an
organ of the Thiers party, which contends for the un-
conditional hereditary tenure, upon the ground that
such' a tenure means sovereignty, and that conditions
are inconsistent with sovereignty. The argument is
perfectly just. Now, what has been from the begin-
ning the object of the policy of the Allies? Was it not to
prevent the establishment of a " sovereignty?" If, then, the
Pachalie be unconditionally ceded en heredite, is not the abject
defeated which the Times itself has been supporting for the last
twelve months? We repeat what we stated before, that it is to
this article alone that Mehemet Ali decidedly objects; and the
chief ground of his objection we understand to be, that he fears
it is directed against the succession of Ibrahim Pacha. So
far, however, from this apprehension being well-grounded, we
have it in our power to state, that with the hatti scheriff
there came an amicable communication, assuring the
Pacha that, from considerations which can be easily
appreciated, the Sultan would dispense with the
personal attendance either of Mehemet or of Ibra-
him, should he outlive him, at Constantinople, in order to
be invested with the Pachalic. So that the succession of
Ibrahim is already indirectly guaranteed. Nor do we enter-
tain the slightest doubt that the intention of the Sultan—which
is only to reserve to himself the appointment in case of the in-
fancy or incapacity of the legitimate successor—will be ren-
dered sufficiently distinct to appease all the apprehensions of
the Pacha. He has, in fact, already accepted the hatti
scheriff, and only prays a modification of some articles, which
it is not at all likely will be refused. It is a mere chimera of
the Times to suppose that any misunderstanding is likely to
result upon this affair amongst the European Powers. To this
objection a very little time will give the most satisfactory reply
that can be offered.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS OF TIIIS DAY.

lIE R ALD.--The Bank broker was again in the market to-
day, but :ingula!ly enough his sales were limited to the usual
amount of 30,0001. stock, as before for account of the Savings
Banks. The continuance of these sales would seem to betoken
a " tightnesss" of money somewhere about the Treasury equal
to what has prevailed in the City, whilst the smallness of the
daily venture would seem to indicate a suspicion that the mar-
ket is in too unsettled a state to bear any large pressure of
stock upon it. The closing prices of the funds to-day show less
firmness, which to some extent may be ascribable to the aprre-
hensions entertained of the news which may be brought by the
Columbia steamer of the Halifax and Boston line now due, and
her arrival fully expected this morning. It may be ob-
served, howeve-, that, as she haves Boston on the Ist of this
month, her dates from New York can hardly be later than the
28th ult., or from Washington than the 27th, consequently, as
it was not anticipated that the present Congress, whose func-
tions with those (S President Van Buren, expire en the 3d
inst., would take any further action than what it had com-
mitted itself to in the printing of the firebrand report of
Mr. Pickens, the chief point of interest attaching to the ar-
rival of the Columbia Tics in the chance of some overt de-
monstration:on the part of the State of Maine for the purpose
of currying out the resolutions so vigorously adopted, if it can,
for driving the British from the occupation of the terri-
tory in dispute. It may be hoped however that the
Columbia will be enab!ed to bring intelligence of the arrival
out of the President steamer to New York which left here
the 10th of last month, and was the bearer, as understood, of
important despatches for the British Minister at Washington
in reference to the ense of Mr. M.Leod, the event of which
would he decisive of his further stay in that capital and in fact
perhaps of the question of peace or war. As the President
would be the first steam-vessel subsequently from the other
side, and would leave New York on the 10th instant, the intel-
igence of the installation of President Harrison and the new
Congress on the 4th instant, with the usual message indicative
enxhiecatvyy aboutand Consols
thne solnsedwespr front the
perhaps of the future policy to be followed, cannot in fact be
expected before her arrival here, about the 2,5 th inst. In con-
