BOUItbI:—PARIS, TUESDAY, APRIL 11.

.„,
THREE O'CLOCK.—The French funds have been ex
ceudingly firm all day, and the closing prices show e
considerable advance over those of the day before. Thu
Five per Cents. opened at 59f. 50c., and closed at 611.,
being a rise of 2f. 75c.; the Three per Cents. opened at
35f. 50c., and nosed at 40f. 75c., being a rise of lf. 25c.
This advance was generally attributed to the belief that
a considerable number of the troops of the line were to
enter Paris in the course of the day. During the
Bourse it became known that one regiment had alread)
arrived at the Batignolles, and only awaited orders to
pass tho Barrier° and match to barracks. Bank of
France shares were firm, closing at 1,125 f., being an
advance of 25f. ; Roman is higher, closing at 50f. ;
Belgian Fives (1840), are 10,%er, this decline being the
counter blow of lower prices from Brussels, on Monda),
iu cons( quence, it was said, of the movement in Paris
the day before ; Belgian Bank Shares are 10f. better,
closing at 510 f. Very little business was trim
ii,cted in the miscellaneous securities, but the)
also closed better ; Obligations de la Ville at
960 f., and Quatre Canaux at 665 f., both sf. higher.
lt.alway Shares have varied hut little, the movement
being rather upwards than otherwise ; ' Vierzoi,
are sf. higher, closing at 225 f.; Orleans and Bordeaux.
21. 50c. each better, at 4501. and 390 f.; Northern, Stras
burg, and Nantes, lf. 25c , at 3331. 75c., 345%, and 3351.;
Dieppe have advanced 151., closing at 1501. On the
other hand, Marseilles and llavre have tulle!! 51 , closing
at 195 f. and 170 f.; Lyons, 2f. 50c., at 306 f. 25e.; Rouen
are unaltered at 3051. ; Bons du Trisor were dune at

FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE.
FIFTEENTH SITTING OF THE GERMAN NA

TIONAL ASSEMBLY, FRIDAY, JUNE g.

The House met at nine A.M., as usual.
The Schleswig-Holstein question was the great busi,
nesa of the day.
The President brought the Schleswig affair before
the House for discussion, and conceiving it unnecessary
to read the report of the Committee again—(Cries of
"No, no")—he said he would content himself with
simply reading the motion—
" The Crerman National Assembly declares that the
affair of Schleswig, as the concern of the German nation
at large, comes within the sphere of their operations, and
demands that on the conclusion of peace with the Crown
of Denmark, the right of the dukedoms, Schleswig and
Holstein, as also the honour of Germany, may be pre-
served entire (protected).
" Moreover, the German National Assembly ex-
presses a confident expectation that, in the supposition
that the retreat of the troops of the German Confedera-
tion towards the south is to be attributed to strategic
reasons, speedy and effectual measures be taken for the
requisite recruitment of the Confederate army in
Schleswig-Holstein, as also for the security of Northern
Schleswig against the hostile incursions to which,
through the afore-mentioned retreat, it might possibly
be exposed."
A number of speakers followed, but there was nothing
in the course of the debate that threw any new light
upon the question.
Various new motions were brought forward; but all
compliance with a suggestion of the Presi-
unimportant modifications of that of
doefntht,eswe,,,rienmcoemrely
the Committee.
The motion of the Committee was negatived, though
not by a large majority.

DOLMAN.

After an agreeable chapter on "The Spirit of Chris-
tian Art—Ecclesiastical Architecture," Dolman con-
tains a candidly and deservedly eulogistic notice of the
political career of " Honest Tom Steele —a notice not
the less interesting from the circumstance of its having
been penned before the Head Pacificator's attempt at
self-destruction. Mr. Jerningham contributes a
rather superficial sketch of Boulogne-sur-Mer—a
sketch as superficial as though a topographer were to
describe Trafalgar-square without even mentioning
the Nelson column. The facetious "Adventures of
a Schoolboy" are brought in the thirteenth chapter to
a conclusion.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.

The entertainments announced to take place at
these gardens were of the usually attractive charac-
ter, but in the face of weather, which none but web-
footed bipeds would voluntarily encounter, they failed
to draw even a respectable sprinkling of the depen-
dents upon the free list. All the out-of-door amuse-
ments and the fireworks exhibition, as a matter of
course, were suspended. A concert in the theatre,
horsemanship in the circus, and some splendid vault
ing, were followed by an "Ethiopian Ohio," in which
the man with the bones (Pell), arrayed in an out-
rageously extravagant shirt frill and collar, and Juba,
whom the bills describe as " The original," men-
tioned in Mr. Charles Dickens's " American Notes,"
particularly distinguished themselves. Notwith-
standing the thin attendance of visitors, there was
no abridgment of the performances in the theatre ;
indeed they were deserving the presence of a larger
and livelier audience. As it was, however, they may
be said to have been addressed almost to " empty
boxes."
London, England, 1848-06-13

ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.

Mr. Batty last night brought out "a new grand
chivalrous spectacle, in three acts," dramatised by
Mr. Fitzball, founded upon Sir Walter Scott's
glorious romance of " Marmion; or, the Bat-
tle of Flodden Field." The plot is too well
known to need repetition as originally given by the
great novelist, but Mr. Fitzball has deemed it fitting
to alter the catastrophe in respect to Constance, who,
instead of being bricked up alive in a wall, is con-
demned to die in a small cell, upon entering which
she is followed by an emissary of the convent autho-
rities, who stabs her, but only wounds her in the
hand, and the door closes. A smuggler, who knows
of this cave, accidentally proceeds to batter down a
portion of the wall, in order to save a cask of usque-
baugh from the fangs of the Excise officers. The
unhappy doomed one is discovered, and after many
escapes by flood and field Constance dies at the close
of the battle, while bathing the face of the slain
Marmion. The tal►leaux are extremely good, and the
dresses of the knights, &c., are very splendid, those
of Marmioa (Mr. Crowther), and of De Wilton
(Mr. Fredericks) especially. The scenery is very
charmingly pourtrayed, and the ensemble is in every
respect worthy of the justly earned reputation of
this theatre. Mr. Crowther's Marmion was highly
creditable to that versatile performer, and his dying
scene, the closing of which was given literally from
the poem, " Charge, Chester, charge ! On, Stanley,
on !" was peculiarly well given. " He shook the frag-
ment of his blade " with great fervour; nor can we
omit to mention " the phantom fight" between Mar-
mion and De Wilton, which made us tremble for both
gallant knights, so vigorously did they lay on each
other with their ponderous maces, and so gallantly
did their steeds rear, that we were apprehensive they
would fall over the stage lights. The part of Con•
stance was very prettily filled by Mrs. Moreton
Brooks, who did not rant, as she is too frequently
prone to do. A Highland sword dance, by Mr. W.
H. Harvey, afforded much amusement. Some varied
scenes i❑ the circle followed, the chief being a caval-
cade of a " Hungarian Brigade of Female Cavalry."
The entertainments concluded with the equestrian
spectacle of Timour the Tartar, compressed. Owing
to the terrible state of the weather the boxes were
only scantily filled. The pit and galleries were filled
at half-price. The " Persian Barb," in going through
some of his performances, thought proper to jump
into the pit, having overshot his step in going round
the circle on his hind legs, with his fore legs on the
edge of the pit front. A scream followed his jumping
over, but no one was hurt. The fox, too, on being
" too hotly pressed" by the horses ridden by Mr.
Powell, jumped into the front row of the pit, ran
along the laps of several persons, but retreated to one
of the equestrian side entrances, and caused some
merriment only.

WILLIS'S ROOMS.

Mr. Julian Adams's concert, which took place last
night, was remarkable for several excellencies, a
judicious selection of music, combining classical
pieces by the best composers, and several of the most
favourite modern compositions, which were in every
instance executed in first-rate style. Added to which,
the artistes were mostly British—the highly gifted
Collins family, the talented beneficiare, Miss Cubitt,
Miss Ellen Lyon, Mr. G. Taylor, and Mr. George
Collins. The novelty of the evening was the debut
of Herr Muller, who has a beautiful baritone voice,
remarkable for power, sweetness, and evenness. It
is what the Italians call a voce simpatica. Herr
Muller, on singing Schubert's celebrated song,
" Der Wanderer," which was given in true
artistic style, was unanimously encored, when
he kindly accompanied himself, and was as suc-
cessful in that beauteous cansonet " Das Bachlein,"
by the same composer. Mr. Julian Adams's playing
on the piano and Luff's patent harmonium was the
theme of universal admiration ; he performed his own
beautiful "Notturne" in a style that at once convinced
his audience he was one of the most highly finished
pianists of the day, his playing being distinguished
at one time for tenderness and delicacy, while at
others it was fraught with poetic fire and enthusiasm.
The most interesting performance of the evening was
Paganini's variations to the " Carnival de Venise,"
which were performed upon the violin by Miss Ro-
sina Collins in a manner that astonished and delighted
every body. Her second appearance at these re-
unions fully justifies the high eulogiums that
were lavished upon her at the first. Her
execution was full of energy and brilliancy
her scales, particularly those played staccato,
were even and perfect, while her arpeggios were
equally to be lauded. Her tone is full, and, when
occasion requires, delicate in the extreme; not a note
is ever lost, even in the pianissimo passages, added to
which, her command over the most difficult traits de
force was astounding. Long, loud, and rapturous
applause rewarded the exertions of the fair young
artist, who was encored unanimously., In the duet
"La Gaiete," by Chopin, for piano and violoncello,
Mr. George Collins introduced a cadenza, which was
as remarkable for novelty and good taste as it was
brilliantly and effectively executed. One of the gems
of the evening was its Emma Collins's eharming
interpretation of Dr. Pepusch's popular song "Alexis,"
the accompaniment on the violoncello being exqui-
sitely performed by her talented little sister Victoria.
The next of these agreeable re-unions will take place
on the 28th inst., for which several novelties are in
preparation.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused. the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses. on
the nature and consequence of whieh this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It
subject c deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what an
be of more importance than the preservation of the health
and of the physical capabilities of which
thater evythe unman shouldhap
he possessed. it unfortunately happens
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquiring
red
in early life or from the follies of advanced age,
while suffe
Croat their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent kis
'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus,s
lie
forgets that accurate discrimination nascertaining causeof
'isea'e, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy,
inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by hi:, posse,sion of the requisite legal
tualiflcations that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his prefes-
,iozal pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
l , MEET has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
ertify, and the great extent of his practice fee many years is
4uarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

DOLMAN.

After an agreeable chapter on "The Spirit of Chris-
tian Art—Ecclesiastical Architecture," Dolman con-
tains a candidly and deservedly eulogistic notice of the
political career of" Honest Tom Steele"— a notice not
the less interesting from the circumstance of its having
been penned before the Head Pacificator's attempt at
self-destruction. Mr. Jerningham contributes a
rather superficial sketch of Boulogne-sur-Mer—a
sketch as superficial as though a topographer were to
describe Trafalgar-square without even mentioning
the Nelson column. The facetious " Adventures of
a Schoolboy" are brought in the thirteenth chapter to
a conclusion.

THE DANISH FLEET.

- - -
The following letter has been addressed to a Morning
Contemporary.
Sir,—As it seems more than probable that, ere this, a
collision has taken place between the Prussians and the
Danes by land, it may rerhaps be of interest to the
English public to know what means the Danes have at
their disposal to make reprisals by sea.
You receive hereby a statement of the Danish fleet
now in service, as also of the number of vessels not in
commission, but which can be put into active service in
the space of 14 days.
The German papers this morning inform us of the
appearance of a Dar.ish frigate at Swinemunde, and
from advises from Denmark I learn that another frigate
would follow, to await there the news of the Prussians
having crossed the Eider, when they would immediately
blockade that town, and take away the Prussian vessels
wherever they could lay hands upon them.
Whatever may be the power of Prussia by land, she
can do nothing at sea, and her merchant nary would
suffer greatly.
It is to be hoped that England, before things proceed
too far, will have effected a settlement between the two
Powers, and that Denmark will be left to settle her
affairs without the interference of Germany.
I enclose my card, and beg to remain,
