most excellent predecessor in the chief magistracy of
the city of London.—(C hers )
The toast was drunk with loud acclamation.
The LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, said he
should endeavour, in every way, to emulate the example
of his predecessor. His Lordship then proposed—
" The Marquis of Lansdowne, and the House of Lords."
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE returned thanks. He
assured the assembly that if there was a question upon
which the House of Lords were unanimous, it was in
the determination to maintain the rights, privileges, and
immunities of the City of London.

After the health of the Lady Mayoress was drunk,
the ladies retired from the Hall, and cc mmenced dancing
with great spirit in the Council Chamber.
Mr. MASTERMAN responded to the toast of the House
of Commons ; and several other toasts were proposed
and received with cheers.

The conviviality lasted till morning, and every one
seemed to be most happy.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—MoNpay.

There was a better attendance and a larger amount of
business transacted than any one could have ventured to
anticipate. Passing the Chester Cup, for which, al-
though more were mentioned, only two were backed, we
may mention several Derby horses as having been pro-
minently in demand ; they were Epirote, Allertonian,
Lunedale, the Marpessa colt, and Brother to Joinville.
The outlay on each was, for the season, liberal ; and it
will be seen that in two or three instances it had an effct
on the prices. The desire to " get on " was not confined
to tittle animals, but the investments were on a smaller
scale, and without any marked influence on the quota-
tions. We ought not to omit stating that Planet re-
ceded to 18 to 1, laid to 1501., the takers ready to go on.
The following list is made up to the close of the
betting :

John Bright, Esq., M.P., though slightly improv-

Plants that are gathered with the dew upon them
deaden and decompose much sooner than those which
are collected a few hours after sunrise, and do not dry
or preserve their colours nearly so well.—The Plough.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANIMALS AND PLANTS.—
Plants, unlike animals, are able to derive sustenance
from inorganic matter, such as air, water, carbon, &:-;
but they flourish most on that which has been already
organised, though in a state of decomposition. Hence,
in the scale of nature, they hold an intermediate posi-
tion between man and animals and minerals. No animal
derives its,food immediately from inorganized matter ;
bat many prey upon other animals, which have, in the
first instance, been nourished by vegetable matter. It
has been, theretbre, well said, that, " if plants ceased
to grow, animals would cease to exis)."-2 he Plough.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
A new three act opera, entitled, Loretta, a Tale of Se-
ville, the music by Mr. Lavenu, the words by Mr. Bann,
was produced here last evening with complete success.
The heroine, Loretta (Madame Biehop), is a Spanish
peasant girl, residing in the neighbourhood of Seville,
but albeit she is of humble birth, gentle blood flows in
her veins. Her father, Don Jua,nito (Mr. Weiss) is an
old soldier. He has won honours in the service of his
country; and to his son Philippo (Mr. Borrani), who has
enlisted in the army, he gives a medal and a cross, to be
byw his valour.ornwhenhe Thehall
opera op
have won his way
at the p
aytoa commissionosdeaof
Gaetana (Miss Rebecca Isaacs), where the re-
cruits are assembled preparatory to joining their
regiment, and, at the rising of the curtain, we
find the soldiers and the peasantry singing a joyous
chorus. Loretta and her father are there to take leave
of Philippe, and the revellers are joined by Don Carlos
(Mr. W. Harrison), the nephew of the Governor of Se-
ville, and the betrothed of his daughter Florinda (Miss

the lover of Florinda, he deter-
mines to carry off Loretta, in which he succeeds ; and,
in the next scene, we find her a prisoner in the apart-
ment of Don Carlos, in the Palace of Don Henriquez
(Mr. S. Jones), the Governor of Seville. Carlos is full
of remorse for the crime which he has committed, but
yet does not give up his prey, and he gives utterance to
his remorse in the ballad, "That feeling which exalts
the soul," which is full of melody, and which
was well given by Harrison, and honoured with
an encore, not, however, without some resist-
ance on the part of some portion of the
audience. Loretta enters nearly senseless with fear ;
and here occurs a fine duet, the gem of the act, " Some
hearts there are too changed with grief," which was
beautifully given by Madame Bishop, who was well sup-
ported by Harrison. The scene then changes to a
Gothic saloon in the castle of Henriquez, who informs
Carlos that war has been declared—and that Le
(Carlos) has been appointed to the colonelcy of a
regiment, and that when he returns from the war
he shall wed Florinda. The act concludes with a quar-
tette, carefully written, and well sung, by Messrs. Har-
rison, D. W. King, S. Jones, and Miss Poole), and
a chorus, during the singing of which Loretta escapes
by letting herself down by a scarf from the window.
This concludes the first act. A lapse of five years is
supposed to take place during the first and
second acts. The second act opens with a fete in a
village on the banks of the Guadalquiver. Loretta
enters melancholy and downcast, and sings the recita-
tive, " The bosom of yon waters," and the romance,
" On the banks of the Guadalquiver," which is the gem
of the opera, and which was exquisitely rendered by
Madame Bishop. The audience were enthusiastic in
their plaudits, and from that moment the opera, the sue •
cess of which had previously been somewhat doubtful,
was safe. It is needless to add that this beautiful ro-
mance was rapturously encored. A peasant girl enters,
bringing in a child, which Loretta takes in her arms and
kisses. A flourish of trumpets is heard, and Carlos
Henriquez, Ferdinand, and Floriuda, enter. Carlos re-
cognises Loretta, and seems bewildered; he, however, is
roused by his companions, and retires into the chateau
with Henriques, and Ferdinand and Florinda are
left alone; and here occurs an exquisite duet, " The
keenest torture to the mind," which was beautifully
given by Mr. King and Miss Poole. From that mo-
ment Florinda and Ferdinand understand each other.
She knows that Carlos, to whom she is betrothed, loves
her not—that Ferdinand has long loved her, and she
feels that she loves Ferdinand in return. Then
fellows a most animated scene of a village
fete by night. Stalls are erected, the trees are illu-
minated, the stalls are lighted up, and there is a dance
on the village green to a chorus sung by the revellers.
Soldiers join the festivity. In the captain of the troop
Loretta recognises her brother, and rushes into his
arms. Carlos, who is the colonel of the regiment,
recognises Loretta, and his jealousy is roused at seeing
her in the arms of another. When, however, he learns
that that other is her brother, he is appeased ; but soon
the child enters. It is hers. Her brother is out-
rageous, and would sacrifice her on the spot. Carlos
however interferes and saves her, and in the midst of the
melee the drop falls. The whole of this scene is in con-
certed music, which is most characteristically written.
It tells well, and promises much for the future of Mr.
Lavenu. The composer who, as a young man, can write
thus, will do great things—looked upon merely as an
academical exercise it is worthy of all praise ; but it is
better than this, there is genius about it. It is a com-
position full of promise. The third act opens with the
preparations for the marriage of Carlos and Flo•
rinda—Florinda surrounded by her women, who
sing a carefully written chorus, and dressing
for the wedding. Her women and her father leave
her—she is sad—she feels that Carl( S is indifferent
to her—that Ferdinand loves her, and she gives vent to
her feelings in the exquisitely beautiful romance " Happy
heart," which was so feelingly rendered by Miss Poole
that it was deservedly rewarded with a double encore.
It is, indeed, a delicious mo,ceau of pure melody.
Carlos and Ferdinand enter, and the former, who
wishes to be alone, consigns her to the care of
Ferdinand. Scarcely have they left the apart-
ment, when Philippo enters leading his sister.. He
has earned his commission—he is entitled to his die.
charge—and he demands it of his Colonel, in order that
he may devote the rest of his days to his fallen—his de-
graded sister. Carlos grants him his discharge, and leads
him to another apartment to prepare it. Loretta is left
alone. She surveys the apartment. She recognises,
article by article, the furniture of it. It is the apart-
ment in which she was confined as a prisoner by her ab-
ductor—the father of her child. The recitative and
scene, " What vision comes upon me," and
‘• When pale and clouded is our star," is
one of the most marvellous pieces of execution
ever heard. There is no one on the stage who could
venture to attempt to sing this trying scene by Madame
Bishop. It taxes the higest soprano voice to the very
uttermost, but superbly did she give it. Never has a
greater triumph been achieved. It was not only sung
exquisitely, artistically, but fairly. There was no
attempt to shirk a single note, every difficulty was fairly
met and fairly conquered, nay more, she herself seemed
to create difficulties only for the pleasure of show-
ing how easily she could conquer them. It
was sung beautifully, tastefully, and with the
greatest ease, and marvellous for such a scene. With
such a voice there was not a single fault of' intonation, not
a single note sung false throughout. In this particular
Madame Bishop stands alone ; she is the only pure so-
prano who never on any occasion sings out of tune. Her
ear is as perfect as her voice—more perfect it cannot be.
Carlos enters, and in him she recognises her seducer,
and denounces him to her brother, who tears up his
discharge ; and in the presence of Don Henriquez
and his suite, inflicts on Carlos a blow. He strikes
his superior officer, and is condemned to death.
He is led out to execution—She soldiers are
ready to fire on him. Loretta, with her child in her
arms, rushes between him and his executioners. Carlos
recognises her, confesses his crime, and offers her the
only reparation in his power. Philippe is pardoned—
Loretta and Carlos are married—and Florinda being
then at liberty, willingly accepts the proffered band of
Ferdinand. The opera concludes with a finale, "Ah I
heart be hushed and calm," by Madame Bishop,
in %ilea she proves herself superior in powers
of execution to any prima donna on the stage. Per-
siani herself, in her best days, never surpassed Madame
Bishop in this finale. Nothing could exceed the luxu
riance of her fieriture in this finale; except the exquisite
taste with which that fiordure was introduced. Luxu-
riant almost to excess, it never overlined the melody.
It was a perfect triumph. At the conclusion all the
principal artists were called for and overwhelmed
with bouquets, and then Mr. Lavenu was called for
and led on by Harley, who " made fun" in collecting the
bouquets and presenting them to the young composer.
and then Mr. Buun was called for, and after awhile came
on and bowed his thanks. This opera, considered as the
work of a young composer, is full of promise, of course he
has not, in every instance, ventured to go alone; here and
there, as might have been expected, we meet with re-
miniscences ; but the music is, throughout, csarac-
teristic. For instance, any one hearing the music
without the words, would at once be aware
that it was descriptive of a Spanish love story. It is,

beauty of Oriental skies. The extraordinary enterprise
Mr. Batty possesses, and the ample resources he com-
mands at will, have enabled him to bring from each
country of the world the animals peculiar to
itself, and thus in the Demon Horse we were
presented in Germany with living deer bounding over
the stage in the agonies of the chase, while, in the neigh
bourhood of Damascus, we had the patient camels of
Syria and the wild zebras of the desert. Two polar
bears, also, made their first; bows to a Surrey audience ;
but we must, in truth, confess that their "get-
ting up " was far from truthful, inasmuch as
they resembled over-grown maggots in a decayed
cheese, with their extremities carefully rolled
up in lambswool. The brutes were, however, agile, and
pleased the juveniles amazingly. The plot itself can
with difficulty be unravelled, and our readers must,
therefore, rest contented with a very brief outline. Ul-
ric Martens (Mr. Harwood), a miller's son, indulges cer-
tain ambitious longings, which make him forget his
business and his peasant love Alicia (Mrs.Jt)linson). The
demon encourages this train of thought, and promises his
victim that he shall, on condition that he gives himself
up to everlasting misery, have in this world the ful-
filment of his twelve wishes, each wish being
equivalent to five years of his existence. The
compact is entered into, and the real action of the
piece commences. The second Tableaux exhibited a
wild, rocky country in Flanders, and stags bounding
across the stage, followed by an animated troop of
hunters on foot and horseback. Many admirable leaps
were performed, in which, truth to tell, the fair eques-
trians far excelled their male companions. An incident
occurs which introduces Ulric to the Count of Flanders
(Mr. Dale). This is nothing less than the preservation
of the Princess Odyle (Mrs. Adams). Two wishes have
been sacrificed—ten years pr Ulric's life have been ex-

pended already. He has assumed the name and bearing
of a noble, and he has saved the life of the Princess through
the instrumentality of the Demon steed (a beautiful
blood mare from Barbary, and not the least perfect actor
on the boards). This animal also carries him through
the dangers of a grand tournar,ent, and he is proclaimed
the victor. Ulric aspires to the hand of the fair Odyle,
and is, with the consent of the Count, to be wedded, when
his mother, Jeannette Martens (Mrs. Brooks) rushes in
and proclaims him to be a vassal, and her son. He is
thrown into a dungeon, and is visited by one of the
Demon's satellites, who renews afresh his dreams of am-
bition by informing him that the child of the Sultan of
Damascus has been carried off by a noted pirate Hans
(Mr. Henderson), and that he is confined in
a lonely town in Iceland. With the aid of his
steed, the prison doors are opened, and Ulric, in a good
ship and with a band of trusty soldiers, appears before
the robbers tower. The demon steed rescues the boy,
and the next scene introduces us to Damascus and to
the Sultan, who is no other a personage than Ulric, a
renegade. A proclamation has been issued denouncing
death to all Christians, and who are informed that the
Count of Flanders and his s mi are marching on the city.
The Sultan is reclining on his velvet cushions observing
the dance, when his mother and Alicia, who had tra-
velled to Damascus in hopes to reclaim him,
rush in, pursued by some Mahomedans, but they
are rescued by Ulric. The final scene exhibits
the storming and capture of Damascus, the death
of Ulric, and his repentance before it is too late.
The piece, as a spectacle, was first rate, and this is all we
ever look for at Astley's. Feats of horsemanship and
vaulting in the circle followed, and the evening's amuse-
ments were wound up with the favourite afterpiece of the
15th Lancers. The house, as we have already stated,
was crowded, and the reception given to the whole of
the performances was enthusiastic.

DEATH of the GREEK GENERAL
LONDOS-ORATION OF ANASTASIUS LON-
DOS OVER THE DEAD BODY OF HIS
BROTHER, THE GENERAL.

—ince the embalming of Londos' corpse, and when
about to be conveyed to the place of his nativity, Agiurn,
his surviving brother Anastasius Londos made the fol-
lowing oration, which is a multum in parvo exemplifica-
tion of the reasons of the Ministry's behaviour.
" Dearest Brother,—l solicit of thy shade as much
tolerance as I felt grief for the forgiveness of thine
enemies. Petty intrigue of base passions will never be
capable of obscuring St. Laura, Missolonghi, Cerasobus,
other places of thy glory, and the 3d of September.
They wish, my dearest brother! to deprive thee even of a
tomb, but for thy tomb thou wilt have the hearts of the
Greeks, and the whole of Greece, which will eventually
render thee thy natural tomb with due honours. Thou
hest left me a mortal wound, but I find consolation in the
feeling of thy friends, of thy numerous relations, of all
the literati, of every feeling Greek, and of the whole of
the nation.
" Rendering thee, sweetest brother, the last salutation*
I crave thy blessing, which, guiding me in this mournful
and brief stadium of my life, will make me a worthy
imitator of thy political and other virtues of thy firm cha-
racter, and a friend of thy friends. And ye, my brother's
friends, assist me with your counsels, and grant me that
friendship you always evinced towards my dearest brother,
of which I hope I shall prove myself a worthy partaker."
The worthy editor of the Age, Mr. Philemon, in giving
insertion to the above oration, makes the following
remarks :—" It is impossible for us to depict the indig-
nation, the just indignation, which has been infused in
the hearts of all. It is impossible for us to write a single
word upon the subject. Let the Greeks both at home
and abroad, and all the world besides, form a clear notion
of this savage and unheard-of inhumanity, which guided
the conduct of the Ministry, or rather that of Coletti, in
this scandalous affair. How otherwise will the Premier
be looked upon in this melancholy case, but as the most
pitiless and inhuman organ of the revengeful spirit of
Anti-Septenibrianism? This revengeful spirit against
the men of September has achieved the banishment of
some out of Greece—others it has sent far out of the
metropolis, and has endeavoured to turn out of the ser-
vice both of the nation and of the Chambers all those
who have a spark of patriotism in their breasts, and has
denied even the enforcement of the first article of the
constitution. What more can it achieve against the Sep-
tembrians than to deprive them even of their tombs?
" Thinking ourselves incompetent, we do not under-
take to support the voluntary or involuntary suicide of
the ever-memorable Andreas Londos. But as in this
case, however, the ecclesiastical authority simply
denied, without making previously the necessary
examination, which the canons enforce, and as the
Faculty and the members of the legal profession
of our metropolis declared doubtful the voluntary suicide,
it follows that from the copulation of these circumstances,
with the a priori arguments, and from the moral and
gentle character of the deceased general, the canon ought
to be interpreted with a degree of clemency in his favour,
and that the Ministry has no reason whatever to deny
military honour being paid to his rank as a general.
Yes we are not the only ones who partake of this idea;
the whole of Athens, replete with grief, has partaken
with us in deploring this inhuman reproach against one
of the greatest benefactors of our country: both senators
and duputies of every shade and degree of politics have
indeed partaken of this idea, as appears from their peti-
tion to the ministerial counsel, a translation of which
has appeared in the Morning Chronicle of Saturday the
7th instant."

* It is the prevailing custom in Greece for the relations,
friends, and others who are present at a funeral, to kiss the
forehead of the departed, and say, " May thou rest in peace,
departed brother !"

FRAUD IN THE SALE OF LEECHES.--For some time
past a very extensive fraud has been perpetrated in Paris
by the sale of leeches in a gorged state. An official
inspection has been lately made by order of the Govern-
ment, and the result is, that no less than forty thousand
leeches have been seized and condemned by the com-
missioners appointed to visit the different stores where
leeches are kept for sale. The cause of tllis fraud ap-
pears to be the strange system which exists in Paris of
selling leeches by weight; hence they are allowed to
gorge themselves with the blood of dead animals. A
fraud of this kind is easily detected by very gently
pressing the body of the leech from the tail to the mouth,
when a small ring of blond appears. This is not ob-
served in a leech which is in a proper condition for medical
use.—Medical Gaztte.

FIRE IN LlVERPOOL—Yesterday (Friday) morn
ing, about half-past five o'clock, a fire broke out on the
.
premises of Messrs Eyre and Jeffries, paint and colour

as the buildings adjacent were filled
with oils, paints, and other substances of a highly com-
bustible nature

, great fears were entertained not only
but for the neighbouring dwellings. ,

in the dry-
ing-room, in a general blaze, and had it not
the assistance afforded, it is probable that a mostllotbeen for

flames
were soon extinguished. Considerable damage was done
to the contents of the room ; many of the sheet

severely injured. The fire was caused from some of
the linen having come in contact with the pi •

drying stove.
THE ROYAL STAGHOUNDS.—In consequence
the extremely heavy fog which hung over ixhof
Uxbridge-
common on Friday morning, it was fully expected that
the hunt would be postponed. There were, however,
upwards of three hundred horsemen present, including
Lord Anson, Captain Seymour, Messrs. Cox, W s
Hey,
o
&c., and a great number of officers from Windsor,
Hounslow, and Hampton Court. The Earl Granville,
in order that the large field which had assembled should
not be disappointed had the deer, which was an untried
ene, uncarted shortly after twelve o'clock, having waited
till that time in the vain hope that the fog would
d have
cleared off. Upon the deer being turned
out in Long-
lane, it took away to Ickenbam Marsh, and there headed
back to Pale hill, again to Ickenham, crossing Mr.
Newdegate's farm, on nearly to Ilarefield, circling to
the left to Denham Marsh, and was taken •
hi the Canal,
after a run (during which there were lots of spills and
duckings) of about an hour. A second deer, the cele-
brated Rory O'More, was in the deer-cart ready to be
turned out, but another run was not attempted in
consequence of the fog.
