sums of money under similar circumstances.

TO THE EDITOR of THE SUN.
Sin,—Seeing in your journal of this evening an
account of a person being brought up for examination
before a magistrate at Bow-street on Saturday last,
for the robbery of a lady in an omnibus, and the per-
son in custody when asked for his residence gave it
No. 48, Penton-street. Now I do not know whether
there be any other Penton-street, but must observe
that I reside at No. 48, Penton-street Pentonville,
and hare done so for many years past, and that I have
no men lodgers now, nor have I h adany at all for
many months last past. As the above statement of
the man in custody is calculated to do me an injury,
you will much oblige me by giving in your valuable
journal this public contradiction, and I remain, Sir,
your obedient humble servant,

HER MAJESTY AT ABERDEEN.—We are happy to
be able to state, that information has been received in
town, that her Majesty will land at Aberdeen, on her
way to Balmoral, in the autumn of this year. A letter
to that effect has been received from the engineer of the
Harbour, and the commissioners have been taking steps
to facilitate the progress of the works, so that the new
dock may be fully completed in good time. It will be
an auspicious event for the braif toun" to have its
magnificent dock, the greatest work of the kind in the
kingdom, opened for the first time, to receive the Sove-
reign of the realm in person. The name, then, will be
literally applicable. Our railway company, too, we be•
lieve, have made arrangements for opening up to Stone-
haven, by the Ist of August, and we should not wonder
if the whole line be completed to Aberdeen by the time
of the royal visit, so as to afford an opportunity to the
loyal subjects of her Majesty to be present, and give
proper eclat to her landing in this northern metropolis.—

A selection from the works of Mendelssohn, con-
sisting of the 95th Psalm—the solo part sustained by
Mr. Lockey, Miss Stewart, and Miss Gill ; Songs with-
out Words (accompanied on the pianoforte by Mr. W.
Sterndale Bennett), the',vocal portions of the singing
by Miss Duval, Miss Stewart, Mr. Lockey, and Mr.
H. Phillips ; and the First Walpurge s Night, for con-
tralto, tenor, and bass soli, and grand orchestra (sus-
tained by the same artists), was performed here last
evening. At the conclusion of the Songs without
Words, Mr. H. Phillips gave the grand scena " On
Lena's gloomy heath," which wrs composed expressly
for him, with immense power and energy. .Never
have we before seen Henry Phillips so great. The
choruses were furnished by the pupils of Mr. Hullah's
upper singing school. The manner in which they
performed the exceedingly difficult music allotted to
them reflects the greatest credit on the teaching of
Mr. Hullah.

to the study of natural history, and he could do as •
much by that as by classical instruction, or by ma-
thematics. He claimed for the principles which Dr.
Reid had laid down the same benefit as resulted from
classical or mathematical study.
Dr. WILsoN said that the great difficulty in im-
parting instruction was, that human beings would
not think till it was forced upon them. The culti-
vation of the intellect, on moral and religious grounds,
was the true foundation to go upon. Till parents and
guardians aided tutors in doing that they never
would have an efficient system of instruction. To
inculcate the great moral principles of life was the
duty of all parents. In educating, they must look at
primary principles ; if they took partial views, arising
from any particular development around them, they
would be sure to go wrong. He called upon parents
to inculcate upon their children the principles of self-
denial, self-instruction, and self-reliance. The great
fault was, that parents would not do that. The parent,
generally speaking, would not allow the tutor to be
his locum tenems. That was a serious error. Very
often remarks impressed upon the mind of the child
became the germ of future greatness. The effects of
the moral anti religious training bestowed upon lads
in the north in his early days was most beneficial.
Upon their arrival in London they used to be imme-
diately received into merchants' offices, as it was
known that they could be trusted. He was sorry to
say that that was no longer the case. All educa-
tion was of no value unless based on moral and re-
ligious truth.
Mr. WHARTON hoped that they should have many
opportunities to meet and:compare opinions. He hoped
that in future they would adhere together like bro-
thers—(Cheers)—feeling zealous to raise themselves
to their proper position in society, and zealous to raise
the standard of education to the highest pitch to
which it could be brought. One of the chief duties
of a teacher was to teach the boys how to learn.
Mr. WALKER observed that it was not so much
the study itself as the mode of study that produced
results.—(Hear.)
A general conversation ensued, in the course of
which various facts and circumstances bearing upon
the subject of the paper read, were stated and ob-
served upon.
A vote of thanks was given to Dr. Reid and to
the President, and the members separated, apparently
high pleased with their social and instructive inter-
course.

INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGI-
NEERS.
(Sir John Rennie, President, in the chair.)
The first meeting of the session was held on Tues-
day evening, when a paper was read descriptive of
Mr. Frederick Ransome's process for making artificial
stone. The modus operandi appeared to be very
simple. Broken pieces of silica (common flint),
being subjected for a time to the action of caustic
alkali, boiling under pressure in a close vessel, formed
a transparent silicated solution, which was evaporated
to a specefic gravity of 1,600 (distilled water being
1,000); and was then intimately mixed with given
proportions of well-washed sand, broken granite, or
other materials of different degrees of hardness. The
paste thus constituted, after being pressed into
moulds from which the most delicate impressions
were readily received, was subjected to a red heat,
in a stove or kiln, by which operation the free or
uncombined :silica of the raw materials united
with the excess of alkali existing in the solution,
thus forming a semi-vitreous compound, and
rendering the artificial stone perfectly insoluble.
This production must evidently be adaptable to a
comprehensive range of objects—for decorative art
and for architectural purposes ; busts, vases, flooring,
tiles, steps, balustrades, mouldings, capitals, shafts,
and bases of columns, &c. Even grinding stones and
whetstones for scythes have been made, and in fact,
from the beauty and variety of the specimens exhi-
bited, there would appear to be a vast field opening
for such a production. It was stated to be already
extensively manufactured at Ipswich, and it was
allowed to admit of extensive application where
elaborately carved stone would be too expensive.
Mr. Richmond (of Bow) exhibited and explained
an engine counter manufactured
i by him on an im-
proved principle. The counters n ordinary use were
described as either somewhat inefficient machines,
liable to error, or of too expensive construction to be
generally employed. This counter differed from
others chiefly in its simplicity and its accuracy, whilst
at the same time its low price of seven pounds
brought it within the reach of every one. With this
machine the number of strokes made by the engine
or other machine could be read off at one view with-

day evening.
Yesterday morning the Queen and Prince Albert
walked in Claremont Park.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales,
Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess
Alice, took walking and pony exercise yesterday
forenoon.

Prince Albert enjoyed the sport of shooting yes-
terday at Claremont. His Royal Highness was at-
tended by the Earl of Morton, and Mr. George Ed-
ward Anson.

The ➢Marquis of Ormonde has left Claremont.

A Cabinet Council was held at two o'clock yes-
terday afternoon, at the Foreign-office. The Ministers
present were Lord John Russell, Sir George Grey,
Viscount Palmerston, Earl Grey, the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, the Earl of Auckland, Lord Camp-
bell, the Right Hon. H. Labouchere, and the Right
Hon. T. B. Macaulay. The Council sat three hours.
The Right Hon. H. Labouchere arrived in town

MARLBOROUGH:STREET.

The number of destitute persons who have received
temporary relief from the funds of the poor-box
between January and December last year is 800, and
the amount of money divided among these persons, in
sums varying from ls. to 11. or 21. is upwards of
2001. More than half the persons receiving relief
were Irish, and money has either been given to them
to help them on to their own country, or, if of good
character and resident here, to give them the means of
getting their own living at some industrious occupa-
tion. Another class whoihave experienced the season-
able relief afforded at this Court are female servants,
who, when their money has been spent and their
clothes pawned, and thus reduced to a state which
prevented them from taking another situation, have
had their clothes redeemed, or some trifle advanced to
enable them to engage in a new service with decent
clothing. The aged poor, as a matter of course, have
been liberal participators in the charitable donations
from this Court.

LONDON, THURSDAY. JANUARY 13, 1848

Among the most reprehensible proceedings of the
Radicals of Switzerland, the violation of the famous
hospital of Mount St. Bernard will prove the one by
which they have most materially weakened their
cause and damaged their reputation. It will not
merely intensify and concentrate the animosities of
the Ultramontanists, it will associate with the
triumph of the principles of Liberality the com-
mission of one of those cardinal crimes which cry
out alike to heaven and to humanity for vengeance,
The recollection of this atrocious act can never be
obliterated. It must for ever and for ever excite the
abhorrence of posterity. What, indeed, will the
Helvetic historian have to narrate as among the
more memorable consummations of the late victory ?
He will have to describe that infamous decree of
the 2d of .
December, by which the Landsge-
meinde of the •.
Valais deprived the monastery
of its ecclesiastical patronage and inflicted upon
its inmates a fine of 5,000/. or 80,000 Swiss
francs. He will depict the
__arrival of the two
Federal Commissaries,
pam!. and DELARAGSAE,
on the 18th of December, to compile
an inventory of
,be furniture and property of the establishment, with
s view to its final appropriation for the liquidation of
its debts to the Supreme Government. lie will re-
zord the brutalities perpetrated under the surveillance
of those officials, the bursting open of doors by crow-
bars, and the opening of closets and strong.hoxe S by
the instruments of the locksmith, the quartering of
forty Vaudois soldiers as a garrison to the sacredl
building, and the distribution of sentinels with loaded
muskets at the windows, for the purpose of firing at
whomsoever should endeavour to escape with the con-
secrated vessels, or with any other of the valuables of
that sublime institution. Never were the sympathies of
de -whole civilized world so wilfully and flagrantly
• iolated ; never were the interests of society so mon-
strously abused for the sake of a contemptible reta-
liation, as in the infliction of these extreme penalties
upon the heroic brethren of St. Bernard. By the inde-
cent rigour of the Confederation, ruin has been suddenly
brought upon an association which, for nearly nine
centuries, has existed among the alpine solitudes of
the Valais, affording warmth and nonrisis. ment to the
travellers from all nations, and shinsmt* forth to the
whole of Christendom the Beacon of a divine and
niversal charity. •

There is something so 'remarkable, both in an
historical sense, and as the close of an acted romance,
in the infamous behaviour of the Valais towards this
illustrious order of ecclesiastics, that we willingly
give, in extenso, their emphatic and dignified protest
against the violation of their renowned institution :

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

limh 61141,44.0171. Z was
produced here last evening, for the purpose of intro •
ducing three new aspirants for the public favour, in
the persons of Mrs. J. Lea, Mr. J. Lea, and Mr.
Gregg. Mrs. J. Lea, who sustained the part of
Linda, has been, we believe, for some time past,
favouralby known to concert-goers as Miss Hobbs.
Her voice is a pure soprano, rather thin in quality
and somewhat deficient in power, but very flexible,
cultivated up to the very highest pitch of ex-
cellence, and with an intonation absolutely
faultless. She was last night evidently labouring
under great nervousness, which somewhat marred
her histrionic efforts, but never once did she sing I
out of tune. Her figure is good though slight, and
her features pretty and expressive. Mr. J. Lea
possesses a good baritone voice, which has been well
cultivated, and Mr. Gregg has a good bass voice, but
was so nervous that he scarcely did himself justice.
All the debutants are evidently unused to the stage,
and would do well to take some lesions in acting.
M. Santiago made his second appearance in
the character of Carlo, and sang and acted
with great tenderness and feeling. Weiss as the
Marquis was very good, but the • great hit of the
evening was the Pierotto of Miss Miran. Her fine,
rich contralto tones told most effectively. • The house
was very well and fashionably attended.- There were
present his Highness the Conde de Montemolin, and

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

The great test of a true dramatic artiste is Shak-
spere. Many an actor or actress who has acquired
a fair portion of fame in the ordinary run of charac-
ters, fails in the attempt to embody the creations of
Shakspere, whereas, on the contrary, the artist who
can act Shakspere can act anything elsa.with ease
and success. Mrs. Mowatt was lest tight' tried' by
the Shaksperian test, and was not cOund ;wanting; she
is an artiste there is no mistake about it.
She has the ring of the genuine metal-,s-slie art pct
Shakespere.t The play was Mmill Ado. abd'ut NotAivg,
and Mrs. Mowatt sustained the part of BeatriCe. She
looked charmingly, and thoroughly entered into the
spirit of her part. Nothing could exceed the playful
espiklerie with which she bantered Benedick, and
the thorough gusto with which she gave the re-
partees; her ringing, tinkling, laugh, too, was
fascinating exceedingly—it was the laugh of
genuine enjoyment. In the more serious scenes,
too, although perhaps she exhibited here and there
a tendency to over-acting, which appears to
be the great fault of the American school of tragedy,
she was -very fine. " One touch of feeling makes
the {whole world kin ;" and who that witnessed
her indignant denunciations of the wrongers
of Hero did not feel the truth of the line ?
The forte of Mrs. Mowatt is evidently high
comedy. Her Beatrice is a proof of it : her suc-
cess was complete. She was well supported by
Mr. Davenport, whose Benedick, albeit perhaps
scarcely sufficiently rollicking in the earlier scenes,
was a well-studied gentlemanly line of acting.
Compton's Dogberry was glorious, and Miss Susan

I have one very serious fault to find with them, namely,
the unpardonable levity and flippancy with which
passages from Holy Writ are frequently introduce...
in their pages. There is little wit and no taste
evinced by such a play upon words as can institute
a comparison between Jupiter" and the " Jew
Peter," and still less in such a remark at; that which,
falling from a lady's lips! accounts for there being
" no marriages in heavers," because no priests will
ever get there to perform them. The:3e and many
similar observations, are, to our thinking, sufficient
to counteract the attractions of a more attractive
book than " Henry. Domville."

BI?IAN O'LINIV; or, LUCK IS EVERYTHING-
By TV. H. Maxwell. 3 Vols.
These volumes record the wanderings ALA adven-
tures of an Irish youth, who under the borrowed
appellation of Brian O'Linn, is travellin g, like
Christopher Tadpole, in search of a home, a' -family,
and even a name. He is accompanied by one Francis
Elliott, a Borderer, who is also the supposed ii,cliter
of these memoirs. Although only one of these ge
m i
n-
tle en s an Irishman, both seem to be endued, in t
most extraordinary degree, with that tendency to get.
into difficulties, and that dexterity in getting cut of
them, which, in novels at. least, seem peculiar attri-
butes of the Hibernian. That Luck is everything is
asserted on the title-page of these volumes, and fully
demonstrated by the fortunes of their heroes. The
plot contains little novelty, being on that old and
hacknied theme which tells of an heir of large for-
tune brought up in ignorance of his rights, while his
inheritance is possessed by some wicked relation.
Many of the incidents of the tale are exceedingly
impr-Obable, but the best light in which to regard this
work is as a series of amusing, and marvellous, and
even ridiculous adventures, narrated in the pleasant,
and humorous, and interesting manner which cha-
racterises the writings of the author of " Stories of
Waterloo."

It will be perceived by the above accounts that the
assets show a dividend equal to about ss. sd. in the
pound,
and an offer was made to pay a composition
of 55., by instalments of 2s, cash down, ls. 6d. at
three months, and ls. fid. at six months, the final
payment to be properly secured. From the expla.
nations rendered by Mr. Ladbury, it appeared that
the books of the house had been regularly kept, and
that balances had been struck at stated periods, but
the great mistake of the partners seemed to consist in
amount of bad debts

to the study of natural history, and he could do as I
much by that as by classical instruction, or by ma-
thematics. He claimed for the principles which Dr.
Reid had laid down the same benefit as resulted from
classical or mathematical study.
Dr. Wasois said that the great difficulty in im-
parting instruction was, that human beings would
not think till it was forced upon them. The culti-
vation of the intellect, on moral and religions'grounds,
was the true foundation to go upon. Till parents and
guardians aided tutors in doing that they never
would have an efficient system of instruction. To
inculcate the great moral principles of life was the
duty of all parents. In educating, they must look at
primary principles; if they took partial views, arising
from any particular development around them, they
would be sure to go wrong. He called upon parents
to inculcate upon their children the principles of self-
denial, self-instruction, and self-reliance. The great
fault was, that parents would notdo that. The parent,
generally speaking, would not allow the tutor to be
his locum knots. That was a serious error. Very
often remarks impressed upon the mind of the child
became the 1,-Term of future greatness. The effects of
the moral and religious training bestowed upon lads
in the north in his early days was most beneficial.
Upon their arrival in London they used to be imme-
diately received into merchants' offices, as it was
known that they could be trusted. He was sorry to
say that that was no longer the case. All educa-
tion was of no value unless based on moral and re-
ligious truth.
Mr. WHARTON hoped that they should have many
opportunities to meet and'compare opinions. He hoped
that in future they would adhere together like bro-
thers—(Cheers)—feeling zealous to raise themselves
to their proper position in society, and zealous to raise
the standard of education to the highest pitch to
which it could be brought. One of the chief duties
of a teacher was to teach the boys how to learn.
Mr. WALKER observed that it was not so much
the study itself as the mode of study that produced
results.—(Hear.)
A general conversation ensued, in the course of
which various facts and circumstances bearing upon
the subject of the paper read, were stated and ob-
served upon.
A vote of thanks was given to Dr. Reid and to
the President, and the members separated, apparently
high pleased with their social and, instructive inter-
course.

EXPECTED DISTURBANCES

ITALY.

(Taken from the Journal de r Ain, of Jan. 7, 1848.)
It is announced that the entry of the Austrian
troops into Modena and the Duchy of Parma has
created a great degree of exasperation amongst the
Italian populations. There have been some risings at
Livourne and Florence, and the Government, not
being sufficiently strong to constrain this movement,
has been obliged to deliver up the arms which were
in the arsenals.
Serious events are, therefore, momentarily expected
to take place in Italy, and attract the attentive consi-
deration of the great Powers, principally concerning
the Duchy of Parma, which, by the death of Maria
Louisa, puts forward all the rights of the family of
Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua, and Guastalla, of whom
there exist descendants who have retired to England.
The London papers, and amongst others The Sun,
have already published from the Alba of Florence,
the reclamations of Prince Alexander de Gonzaga
Mantua, and have declared his rights to be well
founded and acknowledged by the Duchy of Mantua,
as possessions of his ancestors. According to the
Italian journal, the restoration of this Prince, who
served in the armies of the empire, and adheres
frankly to the reforms inaugurated by Pius IX.,
would be a great blessing to the populations of Parma,
Placentia, &c. They would then progress more
wisely and more expeditiously towards the policy of
Pius IX., which is the policy most suited to the Italian
States, than towards that of Austria, whose weight is
difficult to bear.

A selection from the works of Mendelssohn, con-

Mr. Lockey, Miss Stewart, and Miss Gill ; Songs with-
out Words (accompanied on the pianoforte by Mr. W.
Sterndale Bennett), the4vocal portions of the singing
by Miss Duval, Miss Stewart, Mr. Lockey, and Mr.
H. Phillips ; and the First Walpurgis Night, for con-
tralto, tenor, and bass sell, and grand orchestra (sus-
tained by the same artists), was performed here last
evening. At the conclusion of the Songs without
Words, Mr. H. Phillips gave the grand scene " On
Lena's gloomy heath," which was composed expressly
for him, with immense power and energy. Never
have we before seen Henry Phillips so great. The
choruses were furnished by the pupils of Mr. Hullah's
upper singing school. The manner in which they
performed the exceedingly difficult music allotted to
them reflects 'the greatest credit on the teaching of
Mr. Hullah.

The Marquis of Ormonde has left Claremont.

A Cabinet Council was held at two o'clock yes-

ABD-EL-KADER.

A letter from Toulon, of January 7, says :
" The authorities have received instructions relative
to Abd-el-Kader and his family. The Emir is to be
transferred to-morrow to Fort Lamalgue, with his
mother, his three children, and his brother-in-law,
Mustapha Ben Tchann. The other Arabs now at
the Lazaretto are to be sent to Fort Malbousquet.
Theseinstructions arrived here last evening at the
same time as Colonel Lheureux, who is to assume the
command of Fort Lamalgue, with an increased
garrison. Workmen are employed to-day in pre-
paring the rooms on the first story for Abd-el-
Kader. From the precautions that are to be taken,
it is easy to perceive that the Emir is to be detained a
prisoner, at least for an indeterminate period. He is
even to be guarded a vue, and is not to be allowed to
take exercise, except on the terrace of the fort. The
Emir is to be informed in the course of this day of the
decision which the Government has come to re-
specting him,"
