DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Benedict's magnificent opera, The Crusaders, draws
overflowing houses here every night. It is by far the
most perfect opera that has hitherto been produced upon
the English stage. As might have been expected, it is
the first night.rmh
heard now to greater advantage than it was oa
choruses they are!)
the Thel, solo performers are more perfect
choruses (what massively magnificent

inspiration of one master-mind.

Unity is the great
beauty of this opera. It
it, nothing can
harmonious and inclivisable ; nothing
be taken from, it without marring thattl:
one-
ness which is its distinguishing characteristic. It is a
great musical epic ; and, as the Iliad, or the Para-
dise Lost, or the Jerusalem Delivered
must
read again and again, and not only rea be
but
studied to thoroughly appreciate the genius of Homer,
or Milton, or Tasso, so must The Crusaders be lis-
tened to attentively again and again, and be studied
before its beauties can be properly appreciated. At the
first hearing the mind is lost in admiration at the
magnificent whole. It is only by hearing it repeatedly
—by dissecting it, as it were—that the excessive beauty
and fitness of the various parts of which that whole is
composed, can be comprehended, or that the mar-
vellously harmonious manner in which those parts are
combined can be thoroughly appreciated.: The Crusaders
is, indeed, a great opera. .M. Benediet'has- produced a
work which "the world will not willingly let die."

reached Alexandria at five o'clock P.M. on the 7th inst., and
passengers this morning at half-past six o'clock.
Here in Egypt nothing new has occurred since the de-
Parture of the last mail, the French steamer Osiris, which
ought to have left on the 30th ult., and has been detained
till this day, on account of the heavy repairs she was obliged
to undergo. Mehemet Ali had ordered a Council to be held
at Cairo to take into consideration the future administration
of the transit affairs ; and, according to the letters received
from Cairo, it seems the Council had determined to place
Abbas Pasha at the head of the transit affairs; and as
Managing Director, Roachdy Effendi, lately returned from
England, where he had been sent by his patron, General
Edhem Bey, for his education, and to study civil engineering
The general opinion is, Oat the duration of these new ar-
rangements will be very short, perhaps they may never
really take place. A change of some sort is however very
desirable, or, at least, that the existing managers should
improve their stock and conveyancer, particularly their
steamers on the Nile.

MR. GLADSTONE.

We (Nottingham Journal) last week made some remarks
relative to Mr. Gladstone's retirement from the representa-
tion of the borough of Newark. In the course of those re-
marks we stated that the electors of Newark disapproved of
the Right Hon. Gentleman's conduct with regard to the
Maynooth grant, and that he declined to oiler himself for
reelection in consequence ; and we also surmised that the
probable future commercial policy of the Government had
been not without its weight in bringing about the separa-
tion. We have since received the following letter from Mr.
Gladstone on the subject of those remarks, which we consider
it right to lay before our readers :
" TO THE EDITOR OF THE NOTTINGHAM JOURNAL.

"Sir,—My attention has been drawn to an article in your
paper of the 9th. Such an article, written in a local paper,
I cannot consider as an irresponsible and merely anonymous
publication. The tone also in which it is composed—a tone
of extreme, and I fear unwarrantable, favour to myself—must
give weight to such statements as it contains in regard to
mere matters of fact.
" It states that my vote in favour of the Braynooth College
Bill has either wholly or in great part led me to retire from
the position of a candiate for the representation of Newark,
and that the future commercial policy of the Government has
also had its weight.
"Allow me, sir, respectfully, but most positively to assure
you, that neither the Maynooth College Bill, nor any com-
mercial policy of the Government, past or prospective, nor
other public question, have had the smallest effect in deter-
mining my conduct.
" The motives by which I have been influenced have been
exctusively of a personal character.
" I have the honour to remain,. sir,
"Your very obedient servant,
"W. E. GLADSTONE.

BLEEDING TO DEATH.— SINGULAR FACTS..--OD
Saturday a little boy, at Wolverhampton, fell and cut his
gum, but not severely. The bleeding, however, could not
be assuaged, though every means was tried that surgical skill
could suggest. The child died on Tuesday morning, from loss
of blood. At the coroner's inquest, Hannah Phillips, grand-
mother to the deceased, stated that she had lost four children
from bleeding to death, and in the family twelve other persona
(making altogether sixteen) had bled to death ; not one of
them having been seriously injured; the injuries were slight
cuts or falls. Some of them had bled to death from teeth
having been drawn.— Wilts Independent.

LONDON, MONDAY. JANUARY 19, 1846.

Three days more will bring us to the beginning
of a session; of Parliament which promises ,to be of ,
an unusually eventful character, and to which, with
various emotions of hope, fear, distrust, the whole
nation looks forward with almost unexampled inte-
rest. Not certainly since the carrying of Catholic
Emancipation has the first day of the session been
the object of so universal or intense an anxiety.
What is to be done with the corn-laws is yet a
mystery, and will probably remain so for some
days after the first day of the session. It is al-
most a part of the prerogative of the QUEEN'S speeches
to tell nothing, and stifle meaning in generalities;
and the Government will probably claim the right to
reserve all explanation that could give any clue to
the character of their intended measure till the day
of its formal proposal. Sir ROBERT PEEL will keep
his supporters in ignorance till the last possible
moment, and then try to carry them by a coup de
main. He can depend upon his Opposition at any
time, and on the shortest notice, if he is about to pro-
pose total, immediate, and unconditional repeal.
And, notwithstanding some ugly signs of a
contrary character, which, however, admit more
or less of explanation, we retain our be-
lief that he will prepare a measure calculated
to obtain the support of the whole of the Opposition.
If Mr. B. DENISON, after seconding the Address, ,
should oppose roe measure, his West Riding con-
stituents will before then have :emphatically declared
their approval of it by giving him Lord MORPETH for
his colleague. The selection of the Members for
South Lancashire and the West Riding, to move
and second the Address, has all the appearance of a
direct appeal to the free-trade hosts. Then, again,
why the delay and difficulty in finding a mover and
seconder for the Address in the House of Lords?
No seconder, it appears, has yet been found,
though we are within three days of the
opening
of Parliament ; and the selection which

EASTERN PRODUCE.

Cotton—The transactions in this staple since our last have
been very limited, and principally for exportation to China ;
prices, though somewhat reduced, being still too high, in the
present state of the money market, to induce shipments, to
any extent, to Great Britain. No very material decline san
be expected in the present rates, inasmuch as it is known
that the next crop will prove a short one.
Wool—Some changes will be noticed in our quotations, but
these are rather attributable to the variableness of the quali-
ties at market than to any actual fall in the value of the
article. The present stock is not great, there being no cutch
available, and not more in all than 500 or 600 candies of the
other descriptions.
Coffee—Malabar is about half a rupee per maund cheaper
than before.
Gums—Animi has risen to the extent of about sr. per
cwt., while Olibanum and Arabic are without change. •
Hemp—There has been a general decline in the prices of
this article.

Ginger is sr. per candy higher than last month.
Opium wholly unchanged in value.
Silk—All varieties, save Bengal, are cheaper than before.
Freights—There have been numerous arrivals within the
last week, and the demand for tonnage being extremely li-
mited, a further reduction has taken place in the rates of
freight to Great Britain, which may now be quoted at 3/. to
London, and 2/. 17s. 6d. to 8/. to Liverpool. There is no ves-
sel loading for the Clyde. We may quote freight to China
at 15r. per candy—the same as on the departure of the last
mail.

The Periodical Valuation of the Policies effected with this Com-
pany on the Return System will be made after the 3d of July, 1847,
when an equitable proportion of the surplus premiums will be allotted
to the holder of every such Policy issued prior to that date.
The peculiar feature in the mode of division adopted by this Com-
pany consists in the admission of every member to participate in the
surplus he has assisted to create.
The general plan of the office comprises all the real advantages of
which the system of life assurance is susceptible. Insurances may
be effected on the return or non-return systems ; in either case the
assured will be guaranteed from all liability of partnership, and will
possess the most ample security arising from the large accumulations
of the Company invested in the Government funds, and the unlimited
responsibility of its proprietary.
Prospectuses and every information may be obtained on application
atthe Offices as above, or to the Agents of the Company appointed in
every city and principal town in the kingdom.

CHINA..

(From the B.ngal Hurharts, Dec. 5.)
We received yesterday a copy of the China Mail of the
30th ult., being of later date by a month than our last intel-
ligence from that quarter. -We are sorry to say it confirms
the wreck and total loss of the Bombay 'clipper, the City of
Shiraz, on the Isle de Negros, in the Mindora Sea. All
hands, with the exception of three lascars, are supposed to
have perished. This vessel, with several others, had long
been due at Bombay, where, as well as in Calcutta, appre•
hensions for her safety were beginning to be felt.
In the columns of the Mail we find Ordinance No. 12 of
1845, being " an ordinance to amend Ordinance No. 1, of
1845," which decreed that any one convicted of belong-
ings to the Triad Society, or other secret associations,
should, in addition to other punishments, be branded or
marked on the right cheek, and which has been very pro-
perly disallowed b$ the Home Government. The amended
ordinance exempts from punishment " all who shall have
joined the Triad Society, in ignorance of its designs,
or under the influence of terror, who shall not be duly con-
victed of active participation in aomr unlawful act arising out
of his or their connexion with the said society," exceptions
which must very considerably limit the opersilinn of the ordi-
nance on the members of the Triad Society, woe, in mercy
to the Masonic fraternity, perhaps, as regards all other secret
assooiations, it is repealed. For the iKnominious brand on
the face, marking under the left arm, as in the case of military
a:Nerters, is to be substituted?
vvve have marked for transference to our columns a loi:g
and in,`oresting account of the institution, objects and opera-
tions of
.the Morrison Education Society, which will, we are
sure, be re,'Ul with pleasure by all who have at heart the
moral and
al
tellectual improvement of their fellow men. The
society maintar l
an establishment at Hong-Kong, in which
Chinese boys ate Brought up and educated in their own
language and in Eng,:‘sh ; the number that can be received
is, of course, limited, bust
the result in the case of these few
appears to be highly gratis Pg•
Among the items of Peki2 Pews we find a paragraph in
which it is mentioned that the .Xtoperor had been pleased to
announce that no criminals concimnPed at the then present
assizes should be put to death. It Atati2d, perhaps, as ac-
counting for this display of imperial clemency, that before
signing the death warrants of malefrowtors his Majesty has
to fast for three days, It may then at lest admit of ques-
tion, whether the Irr...,ther of the Sun has bessa moved to his
merciful determination by the claims of humanity, or by the
appeals of his own imperial stomach.
