book. Therefore, we ssy, it is not enough to
extend the suffrage, the ban must be taken
off from those already enfranchised, and the
existing constituencies will be thus virtually
extended a full third, aye, more than a full third,
when we take into account in addition to the regis-
tered electors who abstain from voting, those who
systematically disfranchise themselves in order to
escape from persecution. Those Honourable Members
who have been lately returned can do the good cause
of protection to the Parliamentary elector no better
service, nor better reward the constituents who have
' returned them, than by attending on Tuesday, the Bch
of July, in their places in the House of Commons,
and bearing their testimony to the corruption which
they have witnessed in our electoral system,
and in giving their votes for election by ballot
as brought on that evening by the Member for
Bristol.

We would remind the supporters of this
great measure of reform, that on the Bth of
July Lord ROBERT GRosysziou has the first place,
with a motion respecting attorneys' eertificates, which
is expected to last scarcely half-an-hour, and that
consequently there exists every probability, not to say
certainty, of the second notice coming on, which no-
tice is that of Mr. HENRY BERKELEY, for leave to
bring in a Bill to extend to the Parliamentary elec-
tors of Great Britain and Ireland, in all elections, the
protection of the ballot.

If all those who have pledged themselves to their
constituencies are in their place to redeem their
pledges, there is every probability that the
Honourable Member for Bristol will, as he
did in 1848, be in a majority, in which
case Lord JOHN RUSSELL may possibly be
convinced of the necessity of including the
ballot in his forthcoming measure of reform.
We regard the approaching debate on the ballot
as the most important that has, perhaps, ever
taken place on that question, and we warn our repre-
sentatives that their constituencies expect every man
to do his duty, while we urge upon the constituencies
the necessity of watching narrowly the conduct of
their representatives, and of " putting the screw on,"
if need be, so as to keep every man up to the mark.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
, The second, and professedly the last, grand morning
concert for the present season took place yesterday. The
concert began with Beethoven's splendid overture to Ego
mont, remarkably well played by the band. Mademoiselle
Caroline Duprez then sang the beautiful air from St. Paul,
" 0 Jerusalem," with a purity of style that declared a
thorough appreciation of the music. Two pieces, essentially
French in character, followed—a cavotina from Donizetti's
Les Martyrs, exceedingly well sung by Madame Giuliani,
and the well-known bolero, "La chanteuse voilee," executed
to perfection by Madame Ugalde, to whose peculiar style of
vocalization it was admirably adapted. Madame Sontag
sang "On mighty pens," from Haydn's Creation, in a
highly impressive manner; and the fine voice of Madame
Fiorentini found ample scope for display in Mozart's aria,
" Deh parlate." The most decided effect, however, produced
in the first part of the concert was by Mr. Sims Reeves,
who, by his energetic and spirited delivery of the air from
Purcell's King Arthur, " Come, if you dare" (with chorus),
gained a well-merited encore. The unpublished pieces of
Paganini formed at this, as at the last concert, one of the
special points of the programme, and Signor Sivori was
again the executant. On the present occasion he repeated
the " Witches' Dance," and played, for the first time, a
morceau entitled "Il Mouvement Perpetuo." The audience
did ample justice to Signor Sivori by recalling him after
each performance, but the applause bestowed was
solely due to the merits of the violinist. In the second
part of the concert the honours fell to Madame
Sontag, who sang a bolero, by Besozzi ( a composer un-
known to fame), and the English (or, as some will have it,
Spanish) ballad of " Home, sweet home," the latter of which,
given with the sweetest expression, was unanimously re-
demanded. The air, " Sonde al meats," from Cenerentola,
is one of those things which Signor Calzolari sings the best.
In the elegant florid style this vocalist is quite at home,
which he fully established yesterday, by his almost faultless
delivery of the air in question. The comic duet from Il.ita-
trimonio, " Se fiato in corpo avete," thanks to the irresistible
humour of Lablache, and the spirited co-operation of his son
Frederic, produced its accustomed effect, and he last move•
ment was encored with acclamations. One of the great hits
of the second part was the air " Roberto toi que j'aime,"
which Madlle. Alaymo sang with so much passion and feel-
ing that she was twice recalled at the conclusion, and de-
o rued the more praise for resolutely declining the encore she
might so reasonably have accepted. Besides the pieces we
have enumerated the band played the overtures to the Ruler
of the Spill's ( Weber), and Prometheus (Beethoven). Mr.
Wife cooducted the whole concert, except the compositions
by Paganini, which were directed by M. Tolbecque. The
house was crowded in every part.

1-115;RR KAUFMANN'S CONCERT, ST. MARTIN'S HALL.
—This gentleman, whose name has been brought promi-
nently into notice, from his having been twice commanded
to perform before the Court, at the Palace, gave his second
concert in the above hall last evening. The whole of the
instruments, except one, are played by machinery, as in the
common musical boxes, we believe; but the sounds emitted
do not in the slightest degree resemble that of musical boxes,
but imitate all kinds of instruments—flutes, clarionets,
pianos, flageolets, tram, ets, &c. &c. The Symphonion is a
very prettily arranged piece of mechanism, and one of its
bar-els, set with a theme, with variations, from Il Flauto
Magic°, was so pretty that it was unanimously re-demanded.
The harmonic:on is a stringed instrument, resembling an up-
right piano, and played by the hand. The tones are pro-
duced by the friction of a cylinder on the wire strings.
The effect when played is very pleasing. We advise all
who really wish to enjoy a couple of hours to visit this mu-
sical curiosity, and we are sure they will be pleased with
the music, and astonished at the complicated mechanism of
the different instruments.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BRISTOL.--Yesterday a
fire broke out in the premises of Messrs. Hunt and Co., oil
merchants, Bristol. The fire was first discovered at about
twenty minutes past five o'clock, but it spread with terrible
rapidity, and all efforts to extinguish it proved unavailing
until the whole, or nearly the whole, of the valuable stock
of oil, rosin, sc., was destroyed.

Ma. GEORGE THOMPSON, M.P.—This gentleman
is now on his passage to England, per the North America,
which sailed on the 17th inst. It is said that he wili'resign
his seat in Parliament, and become a permanent resident in
the United States.—Patriot.

MALICIOUS ROBBERY AT SOYBR'S SYMPOSIUM.—
On SundAy evening some evil-disposed person penetrated to
the " Encampment of All Nations," in the Sympbsium, and
succeeded in cutting off and carrying away Iwenty-five
yards of the monster tablecloth which formed one of the
attractions of Gore House, and was certainly a triumph of
British manufacture.

Mr. W. FARREIC'S BENEFIT.--.TO-11101TORY the be-
nefit of Mr. W. Farren, the most accomplished and perlect
artiste that the English stage has perhaps ever possessed,
takes place at the Olympic theatre, on which occasion' Miss
Helen Faucit and Mr. J. W. Wallack will appear as Pau-
line and Claude Melnotte in the Lady of Lyons, and Mr.
W. Farren will, for that night only, sustain his original
character of Grandfather Whitehead.

The annual general meeting of the shareholders of
the Cambrian and Universal Insurance Company was held at
the offices, 61, Moorgate- street, on Saturday last. It ap-
peared from the balance-sheet and report read, and unani-
mously adopted, that there had been received for premiums
during the previous nine months, ending the 3 st last Decem-
ber, about 1,1001.; that since that time the business had in-
creased, and was still considerably advancing; and that no
loss had occurred up to the present time. The entire pre-
limitary expenses scarcely exceeded 700', while the working
expensee were only 50C/. Interest at the rate of 41 per cent.
per annum on the paid-up capital was agreed to, and it was
anticipated that the prospects of the company would shortly
warrant a higher rate being adopted. The shareholders were
much pleased at this satisfactory position, and after warmly i
expressing their approbation of all that had beed done,
complimentary resolutions eulogistic of the
chairman, igdiyrlectors, manager, medical officers, &c.

Among the visitors at the Exhibition on Saturday
were the Ayr clabiahop of Bordeaux and the Bishop of Neva's.
