HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

I Lombardi was repeated here last evening, and we are
happy to say that Mario has Completely recovered his voice.
Never did he sing more exquisitely. Grisi, too, was in ex-
cellent voice and swig divinely. The representation of last
evening was a perfect triumph. Cerito was advertised in
The Lai sous Louis XIV. and in La Yivandiere. She was,
however, not sufficiently recovered to appear, and the dryade
scene with Lucile Grahn was substituted. The continued
indisposition of Cerito was announced in the following notice :
" Thursday, May 21, half-past four o'clock.
" It is respectfully announced, that from the report of her medical
attendant, Mademoiselle Cerito had sufficiently recovered yesterday
to be able to appear this evening; it is with the greatest regreo an-
nounced, that a violent relapse has just occurred, which renders her
appearance impossible ; and the indulgence of the patrons of the
Opera and the public is earnestly entreated in favour of those artists
who, to prevent further disappointment, have lent their valuable as•
sistance at the shortest notice.

" The following is the medical certificate:—
" Thursday, May 21, half-past four o'clock P.M.
" I herelv certify, that although Mademoiselle Cerito had so far
recovered yesterday as to justify the expectation that she could per-
form this evening, a violent relapse to-day renders it impossible for
her to appear. " A. BILLING, M.D."

The dryade scene was followed by the Elisir d'Amore, in
whioh Lablache, as Dulcamara, was superb. The house was
crowded to excess.

MADAME TIIILLON'S BENEFIT AT DRURY-LANE.—
The last appearance of Madame Tkiilon, and her benefit, took place
at this theatre last evening ; as might have been expected, the house
was crammed to suffocation. The opera was The Crown Jewels,
and the fair benefifiaire was as fascinating as ever in Catarina ; her
fiorature was lavishly rich and beautiful. The audience were in
raptures throughout the performance, and at the conclusion she was
called for, and bouquets innumerable were showered upon her.
A STLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.—TESTIMONIAL OF BE-
SPXCT.—Mr. Batty, the lessee of Astley's Amphitheatre, entertained
a large party of theatrical and literary gentlemen, at the Rodney
Tavern, Westmluster-read, to celebrate the opening of the establish-
ment under his management, on which occasion he presented Mr.
Withall (his professional adviser), a gentleman who took an active
part is promoting the erection of the theatre, with a magnificent
silver vase and salver, of elegant design and of exquisite handicraft,
as a token of his friendship and esteem. The testimonial was pur-
chased at Mr. Batty's own cost. Mr. Batty presided, and the vice-
-chair was filled by Mr. John Brady. The dinner and wines were of
the first quality, and served up in Mr. Vickress's best style.
MADAME THILLON.—There is a rumour abroad that
this fascinating syren is engaged at the Haymarket, and will make
ker appearance shortly in Le Domino Noir. We hope this rumour
may prave correct, for we should rejoice at any circumstance which
would keep Madame Thillon amongst us for some time longer.

ALMACKS.—The ball on Wednesday boasted of a
large attendance, nearly 500 fashionables being present. The ladles
patronesses in attendance were the Marchioness of Westminster, the
Marchioness of Londonderry, and 'Viscountess Palmerston.
Lady Peel has issued cards of invitation for a soirée
to-morrow night, after the Right Hon. Baronet's grand dinner party.
Lord Brougham entertained a distinuguished party to

Wellington, Prince and Princess Esterhazy, Lord and Lady Jersey,
Lord and Lady Wilton, Sir Robert and Lady Peel, Colonel and Lady
Alice Peel, Lady Clementine Vißier, Lady Douro, Lord Bowden,
Mrs. William Brougham, and Mr. Alfred Montgomei y.
PRESENT TO HER MAJESTY.—A handsome satin
dress, surmounted with lace, and intended as a present to her Ma-
jesty for the use of the Princess, was on view at the Victoria Asylum
for the Blind, In Newcastle, on Tuesday se'nnight. The dress having
been worked exclusively by blind persons, inmates of that excellent
institution, it attracted several hundreds of visitors, and excited uni-
versal admiration. A gift of a similar kind is annually presented to
her Majesty, who, it appears, Is a liberal patron of the institution.

THE WAGHORN TESTIMONIAL IN EDINBURGH.—At
a meeting of the town council of Edinburgh on Tuesday, a circular,
to which was attached a long list of names. requesting the council to
subscribe towards the testimonial, having been read, treasurer
Thomson moved that although the council was satisfied that the
public bad great benefits conferred on them through the exertions
of Lieutenant NVaghorn, and that he had many claims upon them,
they regretted that in their corporate capacity they were not ix a
position to subscribe. Tills resolution was agreed to.
THE EARL op LINCOLN.—We regret to state that
the Noble Lord (Chief Secretary for Ireland) has been suffering since
Saturday last from severe indisposition. Ills Lordship has not been
able te leave his bed room until this morning. The answer te
inquiries in Whitehall-place to-day was, that " Lord Lincoln is
better."

a painful sensation has pervaded the town
fatal shipwrecks, involving the loss of sixteen the
or twenty persons, off
this port, during the heavy gales of last night. The name of one only
of the unfortunate vessels is as yet ascertained. She is the brig
Alert, belonging to Whitby, Mr. Eskdale master, laden with a
general cargo, bound to London from Oporto. The Alert was
bearing up through the roads, the wind blowing from S.S.W. in
squalls. At about ten o'clock she struck on the Long Sand, a
dangerous shoal several miles in length, about ten miles from the
coast. The captain hoped that she would float off with the morn-
ing tide, but unhappily at six o'clock the brig capsized. Mr.
Eskdale and four of the crew by some means managed to clear
the boat, into which they got, and they afterwards picked
up one of the passengers, who had lashed himself to a spar. In a
short time the Dartmouth smack bore down to their assistance, and
took them on board. Of the remainder of the passengers and crew
nothing could be seen. The captain stated the number of passengers
to be eight—a man and his wife, named Nelson, and their three
children, a Mr. Hargrave and two children. One of the seamen lost
is named P.. Anderson ; the names of the others could not be learned.
The other wreck took place en the Gunfleet, situate a few miles from
the sands, where the Alert capsized, and it is sadly feared that every
soul belonging to her met with a watery grave. The vessel was ap.•
parently of Danish build, and was laden with oats. At daybreak
this morning she was seen by some fishermen beating over the
sand. They took her in tow, and in attempting to get her clear she
broke up

FlRE.—Last night, about twelve o'clock, the neigh-
bourhood of St. Clement's-lane, Strand, was alarmed by the report
that fire was raging at the house, No. 15, at the corner of Old Bos-
well-court. Two engines were soon on the spot, and the fire was
extinguished without any considerable damage being done. The ex-
citement was very great, as it is a densely crowded neighbourhood.

THE CORN-LAWS.--THE IRISH PEERS.

DuanN, MAY 20.—The Evening Mail, in order to correct
the many erroneous statements that have gone abroad as to
the part likely to be taken in the approaching discussion in
the House of Lords, publishes the following classification of
the Irish Peers in the manner in which they will vote:--

PROTECTIONISTS,

Marquises—Waterford, Ely, Down-hire, Westmeath.
Earls—Egremont, Shannon, Roden, Mountcashel, Long.
ford, Mayo, Enniskillen, Erne, Wicklow, Lucan, Donough.
more, Caledon, Limerick, Clancarty, Charleville, Glengall
Sheffield, Ranfurly.
Viscounts—Strangford, Doneraile, O'Neil, Lorton.
Barons—Farnham, Clonbrock, Crofton.
MINISTIL RIA LISTS.
Marquises—Donegal, Headfort, Conynghain, Ormonde,
Clanricarde.

Earls—Cork, Meath, Fingal! Besborough, Mornington,
Courtown, Charlemont, Clanwilliam, Clare, Leitrim, Bandon,
Kenmare, Gostord, Ross. •
Viscounts—Cliiden, Hawarden, Lismore.
Barons—Dunsaney, Blaney, Cloucurry, Rossrnore, Du-
nalley, Castionaine, Talbot de Malabide, Carew.
Amongst those who have not expressed an intention of
voting either way—and the majority of whom most pro-
bably will not vote at all—but certainly not in favour of the
Bill are:—

Marquis—Thornond.
Earls—Kingston, Dunraven.
Viscounts—Massareene, De Vesci.
"It will be seen," adds the Mail, "that the names of
Lords Bandon, Ross, Blaney, and Castlemaine, are printed
in italics, being the four Conservative Peers who have aban-
doned their party, deserted their country, and joined Sir
Robert Peel in his attempt to ruin Ireland. Lords Ormonde
and Hawarden are placemen—the latter 'Ministerial whip-
per,' an' it please ye—and are obliged to do as they are or-
dered, under the terror of the lash themselves."
THE FATAL AFFRAY IN TIPPERARY.

The Nenagh Guardian has brought the full particulars of
the fatal affray briefly reported yesterday. An inquest was
held on the bodies of the ill-fated persons who were killed,
and a verdict returned to the effect that they " came by
their death from gun-shot wounds inflicted by the police in
the discharge of their duty." The facts, as proved in evi-
dence, appear to be as follow :
"At 10 o'clock on Saturday morning, Mr. Going, sub-
sheriff of Tipperary, proceeded to Bird-hill, about 10 miles
a
from Nenagh, to obtain possession, under babere, of the
house and lands of Mr. George Maunsell, and his under-
tenants, about 22 in number, at the suite of the landlord, Mr.
Stephen Hastings Atkins, for 1 year's rent, ending the 25th
March last. Having been apprised that much resistance
would be given to him, he took the precaution to have a
strong military force of the 72d, from Newport, under the
command of Captain Pollard, and a large body of police, in
all about 100. On .arriving at Mr. Maunsell's residence they
found it regularly fortified, and prepared for a besieging force.
The windows on the ground floor were guilt up, the hall door
doubly barricaded outside, the sashes of the windows on the
drawing-room floor were taken out, and large rocks of stones
placed on the sills, ready to be hurled on the heads of any
who might attempt to force the door. Men and women
filled the windows, shouting out Carrickshock,' and. cry-
ing out No' surrender.' Mr. and Mrs. Maunsell were
quietly walking about the lawn, and refused on several
remonstrances to give up possession. The sheriff, with
his bailiff and a few of the police, then commenced the
eviction of the under tenants, and twenty-two poor
men, with their. wivts and families, peaceably gave
up possession in form, and were permitted to go in
again to their dwellings as care-takers. Near four o'clock
Mr. Going again appeared before the house, and by this time
a dense mass of people were congregated on the side of an
adjacent hill, looking on. The bailiffs were sent to the side
of the house in order to make a breach in the wall, when a
shower of stones saluted them, but without injury—a can
of boiling • water was thrown on one of the sheriff's men,
which scalded his neck severely. Mr. G. again appealed to
Mr. Maunsell, telling him that he should be compelled to fire
upon the unfortunate occupants of the house, but without
effect. He was reckless and determined, and would not give
up. The party inside the house were then told that the
military and police would fire upon them if they held out a
moment longer, but these unfortunate inebriated dupes,
maddened with the drink they had been supplied with,
vociferated the louder, Carrickshock,' and No surrender.'
The police fired over the house to intimidate them, but it
was no use • ultimately two shots were fired, and two persons
instantly fell dead upon the spot. The sheriff again appealed
to Mr. Maunsell, and asked him did he wish to see more lives
lost, when he at length yielded, and went to the front of the
house and ordered the inmates to surrender.

"One of the persons inside, named Margaret Butler, the
moment the young female fell went to her body and covered
her bands with blood, held them out to the view of the
people assembled on the hill, crying out 'Blood! blood! Car-
rickshock I Carrickshock !'

" The people were then seen moving onward—but the
precaution taken by the military, who were ordered to prime
and load, checked any further advance. Mr. Maunsell then
went to the front of the house and called upon Margaret
Butler to surrender—and shortly after an entrance was
effected. There were five persons only found inside when the
sheriff got in—who were all committed to Newport Bride-
well, one notorious character named Shinners, of whom the
police were in search for the last three months, was seen in
the window, but was nowhere to be found. By accident
the sheriff on coming through the yard looked into
a stable in which was a loft, and on looking up
through a crevice in the floor he perceived a stir, and
calling in a policeman they discovered Shinners. One
of the five persons committed to Bridewell stands charged
with shooting at Mr. Brown, Lord Bloomfield's steward,
some months ago. In narrating the above we forgot to
mention that Doctor 'Twigs, who acts as agent to this pro-
perty, several times offered Mr. Maunsell to let him in
again as care-taker, and give him his own time for re-
moval—but he was obdurate. We have also learned that
workmen were employed for the last three weeks in barri-
cading the place. On Mr. Maunsell's part, however unwise
he was in refusing the possession, and in giving opposition
to the Queen's writ—an opposition that any sane man must
have seen would be fruitless—his case is this. Ile held 130
acres of land by a lease of lives renewable for ever, at the
very high rent of 21. 12s. per acre. On this land there was
no dwelling when he took it but a mud cabin. We also learn
that he built the house at a cost of 1,500/. or 1,6001., which
perhaps was the cause of his being in arrear one year and a
half. His landlord offered him 1001. for the quiet possession,
when he became in arrear, which he refused, trusting to the
present crop to relieve his embarrassment ; and he alleges
that it was in consequence of a railroad in contemplation, in-
tended to run near or through his land and house, he was
evicted, as compensation to considerable amount would be
made by the company for any damage."
The evidence of Mr. Going was essentially similar to the
above narrative.

Captain Pollard, in the course of his deposition, stated that
the instructions of the military, when called upon in aid of
the civil power, were, when it became necessary for the
troops to fire, that they should do so effectively. Such were
the military orders, and he made the remark in order to show
that he was not actuated in refusing to fire over the house by
any brutal feelings upon the occasion.
The deceased were servants of Mr. Maunsell, Catherine
Gardner was in her 18th year, and Henry Boucher was about
22 years of age. _

MURDER IN THE COUNTY CLARE.
A man named Cleary was brutally murdered as he was re-
turning from the fair of EnnistvmOn on Friday evening last,
in company with his brother, who was also most dreadfully
beaten, and lies in great danger. They were attacked by a
number of men who had been lying in wait for them, and
with whom they had no cause of dispute.
INTREPID AND SUCCESSFUL RESISTANCE.
On Sunday night last, eight or ten ruffians attacked the
house of Patrick Manogue, of Clonusker, in the parish of
Scariff, in search of lire-arms. A brave and determined re•
sistance was made by Manogue and his son, who not only
succeeded in repelling the party, but in capturing two of
them, named Bruslane and Wilson, who were committed to
Ennis gaol on Sunday, under an escort of police.

RAILWAY LEGISLATION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Srn,—lCh;s;een ---a
maxim with me, during the course of
my experience, to avoid rushing to extremities. Now, as
the Americans say, I am in a regular fix, being compelled
by circumstances to do so. My case stands thus :—I hold
100 shares in a new railway, which, when constructed, is
certain to yield some 7 or 8 per cent. on the outlay, but I
What, then, aml to do ? I am called upon to say aye or nay,
confess I am not prepared to pay up the calls on my shares.
to the following question :—Will 3 ou, or will you not, agree
to dissolve the company, and thereby abandon the scheme
in tote ? Of course, in the present position of affairs, I must
agree to the winding up of the concern, and thereby cast to
the winds all my fair prospects.
Now, Sir, as my lot is the lot of many, I would recom-
mend that, in such cases as the above, it be optional with the
shareholders either to abandon the scheme totally, or other-
wise to postpone their application for a Bill until another ses-
sion ; in the mean time, the surplus of the deposits, after
payment of expenses, to be returned to the shareholders (and
their scrip cancelled), with a certificate of their being en-
titled to an equal number of new shares, on payment of the
necessary funds, in the event of the Bill being applied for at
any future time.
Some such arrangement as this seems imperatively called
every with
pro-
spect for, otherwise every one of the new railway schemes,
the exception of those few which happen to stand at a pre-
mium, will be broken up; and it must be admitted that there
are numbers at a discount in the market which are absolutely
iieces sosfryy
