HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Last night the new tenor, Signor Salviani, made his
debut with great success as Il Conte Almaviva, in "Il
Barbiere di Siviglia." We never heard a tenure robusto
with such a flexible voice, his leopiture are always in the
purest and most artistic school, and his taste is unex-
ceptionable. We congratulate Mr. Lutuley upon this
valuable addition to his already splendid company, as
we have heard a professor (upon whose judgment we
have implicit reliance) say that he is the best Prophete
he ever heard. Madame Alboai was the Rosini, and
she displayed all those wonderful fetes of vocalisation in
" Una voce poco fa," in the duet " Dunque si son,"
and in Hummel's variations to a Swiss melody, for which
she is so justly celebrated. The new ballet, " Manola,
or Love's Stratagem," was moat brilliant. We under-
stand it is by the principal danseuse, Madame A. Bellon,
who has already established herself as a favourite with
the habitues or the Opera. The pas de quatre was in-
imitable ; the graceful Katrina surpassed herself, and
shone like the bright planet Venus amongst her sister
stars, the beauteous Rosa, the piquante Lizereux, the
charming Clara, and the diamond-toed Pierron. The
house was crowded with a very fashionable audience,
and the Duke of Cambridge's box was occupied by his
Highheigs the Rajah of Coorg, Syed Abdoolah, ambas-
sador, Mrs. R. Rogers, Miss Lewis, and Dr. Lewis,
the Rajah's physician.

'THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE ; its People,

By BARON. VON HANTHAUSEN, Author of " Transcaucasia," &c.
Translated and issued under the immediate sanction of the author.
We have long desired a book which should fairly exhibit the
social state of the Russian people, and show us their internal organisa-
tion. The volumes by Baron flaxthausen fulfil that desire. We
have no hesitation in saying that they give more valuable informa-
tion on the character of the people, and on their social relations in
rural diitects, than any work that has yet been presented to the
British public."—The Press.

GREAT SCULLERS' RACE FOR 200

SOVEREIGNS.

KELLY AND MACKINN EY.

This exciting match, which for the last three
mouths has created the greatest interest iu aquatic
circles, took place yesterday afternoon over the usual
course, from Putney to Mortlake, and was attended
by an immense number of spectators. No fewer
than eight steam-boats were chartered to accompany
the race, and all were well patronised ; the towing-
path along the bank, Hammersmith-bridge, and
every point where a view of the race could be ob-
tained were also crowded.
The weather, although showery and dull in the
early part of ie day, cleared up beautifully about
half-an-hour before the time of starting. _ _

The preliminaries havi, g been arranged, the
umpires and referee were chosen—Mr. J. Salter
for Kelly, Mr. Jackson for Mackinney, and Mr.
Edward Searle referee.
The toss for choice of stations having been won
by Kelly, at four o'clock the men appeared,
each looking in first-rate condition and full of con-
fidence. A considerable amount of betting took
place at 5 to 4 on Kelly.
The signal having been given, a very even start
was effected, and each man exerted himself to
the utmost to obtain the lead. Off Searle's Kelly
had succeeded in getting a lead of about half a
boat's length. On reaching Craven Cottage he had
increased his lead to two lengths, and at the Crab
Tree to three lengths ; and on passing Hammer-
smith-bridge he was leading by six lengths—Kelly
ultimately winning easily by twenty boats' length,
doing the distance in 25 minutes 35 seconds.
The time from Putney to Hammersmith Bridge
was 97, min. ; to Barnes Bridge—Kelly 21i min.,
Mackinney 22f min.
The victor was loudly applauded by the nume-
rous spectators assembled at Mortlake.
The arrangements on board the steamers, under
the management of Mr. Searle, the celebrated
boat builder, were admirably conducted.

PRESENTATION TO IV. F. DOBSON, ESQ.,
EX-MAYOR OF GRAVESEND.

On Wednesday the inhabitants of Gravesend and
its neighbourhood presented to W. F. Dobson,
Esq., who has filled the office of Mayor of that
borough for the last two years, a magnificent can-
delabrum, manufactured by Messrs. Smith and
Nicholson of Duke-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, and.
to Mrs. Dobson a portrait of her Husband, painted
by Brigstock. The presentation took place at a
dinner of the subscribers at Wates' Hotel ; the
Right Honourable the Earl of Darnley in the
chair, supported by W. Masters Smith, Esq.,
M.P. for the county, the Clergy of the town,
the Mayor, and about one hundred of the leading
gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood, and the
principal tradesmen. The candelabrum is 33 inches
in height. The base supports three female figures,
the first representing " Liberality," with one hand
resting on a cornucopia, the emblem of hospi-
tality, and supporting in the other hand a tablet
inscribed " Dispensary and Infirmary," of which
institution Mr. Dobson has been a most earnest
supporter ; the second, Justice supporting an
exact model of the splendid mace of the Corpora-
tion, and holding the scales ; the third, Minerva,
the Goddess of Wisdom. From the base rise stems
of the vine, breaking into six branches for candles,
and three pendant arms supporting dishes for
flowers, the whole being surmounted by a basket
with glass bowel for flowers or fruit. The stems
and branches are richly decorated with hops, en-
twined with the vine leaves and grapes. On the
panels of the base are the arms of Gravesend, Mr.
Dobson's arms, and the following inscription :

" Presented by the inhabitants of the borough of Graves-
end, and its neighbourhood, to William Francis Dobson,
Esq., in acknowledgment of his valuable services as Mayor
of that borough during the years 1851 and 1855, his general
courtesy, kindness, and hospitality, and his liberal support
and encouragement of all the charitable and public institu-
tions of the town ; and in testimony of the esteem and

MELANCROLT ACCIDENT.—On Monday evening an
amiable little girl, named Mary Mathews, aged 12 years,
daughter of the late Mr. Robert Mathews, upholsterer,
&e.i was shot dead by a youth named Richard Ingham,
With whom she had been a playfellow. It appears that
the father of the lad placed his gun in a cupboard in the
kitchen. He had drawn the shot out of the barrels and
removed the caps, but left the powder in. Richard
Ingham, the son, took the gun down on Monday even-
ing and put a cap on the nipple. In play he put the
gun up to his shoulder, aiming at the deceased. He
drew the trigger, and the deceased fell and died almost
directly. The charge entered the left part of the fore-
heal, making a deep hole—the nose and cheek were
Completely blown away, the left jaw bone was broker,
the tongue destroyed. the teeth driven down the throat,
and the left eye lay upon the chin. Another little girl,
who was leaning upon her, had her neck discoloured by
the explosion, and the left arm bruised. The deceased
had gone that day to invite young Ingham (who is 13
years old) and his sister to spend the following day at
her uncle'i house, it being the anniversary of her birth-
day.—North. Wales Chronicle.
MEXICAN AND SOUTH AMERICAN COMPANY.—YeAer-
day the annual meeting of this company was held at the
London Tavern ; Mr. J. D. Powles in the chair. The
report stated that the company was in a sound and

believe that by the next meeting they would resume the
payment of dividends. It was thought afivisable by

LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 29, 1856.

This day terminates the Sossion, in which mere
has been said and less accomplished than in any
previous one within the memory of man. B)th
Houses, in many respects, abdicated their consti-
tutional functions. So far as the management of
the War was concerned, and the arrangement of
the terms on which Peace was concluded, they
permitted themselves to be made mere cyphers
in the hands of the Government—bsdies whose
sole duty it was to register the decrees, and pro-
vide funds to meet the demands of Ministers.
And yet each branch of the Legislature displayed
a striking instance of independence, an unflinch-
ing determination to resent what it considered to
be an attack on its own peculiar rights and pri-
vileges. In matters of the most vital importance
to the honour and welfare of the nation, the policy
of "abstention" as it was termed, was carried
to an unparalleled and almost slavish extent ;
but the moment questions were ventilated which
ran counter to the prejudices and feelings of the
members themselves, they immediately displayed
a degree of firmness and resolution deserving the
highest praise.
The session found the nation engaged in a
sanguinary and expensive War. Great sacrifices
had been cheerfully made great successes
achieved. A golden opportunity was before us,
but it was grossly neglected, or rather wilfully
and deliberately relinquished, and an inglorious
truce was patched-up, which gave neither credit
for the past nor security for the future. The
British people were regularly sold. They were
made the laughing-stock of Europe, for suffering
themselves to be made the tools of
Imperialism and Germanism. One Hundred
Millions of money, and tens of thousands
of valuable lives, were literally wasted without
producing any adequate result.
The first Ministerial defeat of the session was
inflicted by the House of Lords. The Govern-
ment had conferred a Peerage for life on an emi-
nent Judge who had recently resigned his judicial
seat. It was universally admitted that Mr.
Baron PARKR was eminently worthy of a Peerage,
and that the aid which he could afford in the hear-
ing of appeals would be of the greatest possible
value. He had no male issue, and therefore it
made to him no possible difference whether the
limitation had been for life, or in the usual form.

He was, therefore, selected as a fitting subject
for the great experiment which, if successful,
would have completely swamped any portion of
independence that remained to the House. The
attempted subversion of the hereditary attribute at
once alarmed thesusceptibilitieslof indignant Peers.
In such, a ?natter they felt that it was no time for
the extension of a more than doubtful prerogative
of the Crown. The claim of Lord WENSLEY-
DALE to a seat in the House was, therefore, re-
jected by a considerable majority. And the com-
promise bill was introduced, which, although
carried with unparalleled unanimity in the Lords,

been applied to the machinery, to the most effectual test.
Mr. Partridge, acting chief engineer of Woolwich Dock-

HOUSE OF LORDS-(THIS DAY.)

Their Lordships assembled this morning at one
o'clock, shortly after which the prorogation took
place by Royal Commission, although it had
been anticipated that her Majesty would have at-
tended in person, and have congratulated the
country on our return to peace. Remarks issued
from the Royal lips on occasions of this kind have
far greater effect on the country than a dozen ad-
dresses to her Majesty's "faithful Commons " on
matters of import occurring during a session of
Parliament, and the country would have been
much better pleased had that course been adopted
now than its being done by deputy. We have
heard in our time many Royal Speeches read by
various Lord Chancellors, but all of them have
failed to attract that attention which irresistibly
takes possession of the audience as the clear,
silvery, and emphatic enunciation of -our beloved
Queen falls upon the ear.
The weather was beautifully fine throughout the
day, which drew numbers of respectably.attired
persons in the neighbourhood of the palace and
along the route to the Houses of Parliament,
who appeared much disappointed when they found
that her Majesty would not prorogue Parliament
in person.
The appearance of the interior of the House of
Lords was exceedingly animating. There was a
tolerable attendance of ladies, but they were not
so numerous as when her Majesty attends the
house in person. There were, however, sufficient
present to throw a charm over the scene, and their
light and mriel dresses, varied with delicate hues,
combined with the brilliant colour and gorgeous
robes of the Peers, as the rays of the sun through
the stained windows cast a rich and mellow light
over all, sufficient, however, to bring out in strong
relief the gilding and other decorations of the
vaulted roof, as well as the interior generally, pre-
sented a most brilliant and charming scene.
Lord Wensleydale was present, and sat on one of
the cross benches.
Mr. Dallas, the American Minister, with Mrs.
and Miss Dallas, were in one of the side galleries,
attired in deep mourning.
After the transaction of some unimportant busi-
ness, the Speaker and members of the House of
Commons appeared at the har of their Lordships'
house, when the Royal assent was given by com-
mission to various bills. The Royal Commissioners
were—the Lord Chancellor, Lord Willoughby
D'Eresby, Lord Monteagle, Lord Stanley of Aldqt
ley, and the Earl of Harrowby.
