HENLEY-UPON-THAMES ROYAL REGATTA.--In
consequence of the great number of entries for the various
prizes, two very first-rate days' sport are anticipated. On
the first day. the grand champion race for 100/., open to ail
four-oared boats (a new feature in this regatta), for the
year 1351 only, will afford to connoisseurs a treat not to
"be surpassed, as the list of crews contains the names of the
first professional oarsmen in the world. On the second day,
from the circumstance of the two universities being rivals
for the possession of the Grand Challenge Cup, and the other
eight-oared, four-oared, and scullers' lists, comprising all the
first amateurs of the clay, a- most brilliant meeting may be
relied on. The stewards and committee are using every ex-
ertion for the accommodation of visitors, and, in addition to
the grand stand, a space of ground commanding an unin-
terrupted view of the course will be railed iu to a stand for
carriers!

LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 16, 1851.

Cui Bono ? has long been the inquiry of those who
have evinced a perverse solicitude to depreciate the
value of the Great Industrial Exhibition. Answers
innumerable might undoubtedly be given without
tarrying for a single instant's premeditation. It
might be argued, among other things, that the pro-
motion of the cause of international amity would of
itself be sufficient to compensate for all the labour
and expenditure required in carrying out the
project to its complete development. It might
be insisted that the administration of a very
appreciable stimulus to the enterprise of Christendom
would be ample recompense for the toils and anxieties
devolving upon the Royal Commissioners. It might
be maintained, moreover, that the comparison of the
progress made by different branches of the human
family in all the various departments of art and of
industry could not but conduce to the furtherance of
the dearest and divinest interests of civilization.
Added to all which a multitude of new contrivances
could not but be suggested by the scrutiny of the
mechanism employed for divers purposes by the in- 1
genious members of the races of the five continents,.
by the inhabitants of North and of South America,
by Asiatics, Africans, and Europeans. Reference
might likewise be made undoubtedly to the variety of
advantages accruing to the capital selected to be the
arena of the world's exposition; but with all regard for
the benefits bestowed by this circumstance upon the citi-
zens of London and Westminster, we cannot but look
upon any such division of the subject as one of too subor-
dinate a character to be preserved very long in con-
sideration. Nevertheless, some allusion becomes ab- i
solutely requisite even to this section of the inquiry,
under the circumstances, seeing that the royal ori-
ginator of the enterprise has been most shamefully
and shamelessly vilified for bringing down upon the
metropolis of England what his traducers have been
pleased to designate pecuniary injuries, but which, in
truth, have hitherto proved to be the most inestimable
and remunerative benefits. It has been asserted, for ex-
ample, that London has in no way profited by the
scheme of the Exhibition ; and this calumny has
been indulged in, notwithstanding the enormous
sums of money already squandered, through its in-
strumentality, among all classes of the metropolitan
population. Because some frivolous dreamers were
pleased to indulge themselves in the most fantastic
and extravagant anticipations, and because those an-
ticipations have not been quite realized in every
particular, we cannot think it is exactly fair or just to
pronounce the whole undertaking a failure. To say
nothing whatever of the employment given to many
thousands during several months prior to the morn-
ing of inauguration, in the construction of the Crystal
Palace according to the design sketched out by Mr.
PAXTON, and realized by the energy of the contrac-
tors, Messrs. Fox and llEsinsasoN, a very great deal
of activity has been found necessary on the part of a
large proportion of the community in preparations
altogether apart from those made at the instance of the
Royal Commissioners. Several of the trades in the
metropolis, that of the painters for instance, have
never upon any former occasion been afforded any
similar opportunity for protracted and uninterrupted
employment. Subordinate exhibitions have in addi-
tion to this been opened in almost every quarter of
the capital, and most, if not all of these, have hereto-
fore turned out most prosperously for their proprie-
tors. Even the places of public recreation, the
operas, the theatres, and the gardens, after ex-
periencing the temporary neglect consequent upon
the superior attractions of the Crystal Palace, have
begun already to reap a golden harvest from those
who have been fascinated to London from all parts of
the world by that novelty in llyde-park which has
been so long vilified by the very individuals it is
tending to benfit materially. Perhaps next we
shall have complaints made against the Industrial
Exhibition by the directors and shareholders
of the different railways, in spite of the
emolument derived by them from the influx of
foreign visitors and provincial excursionists.
It were absolutely about as reasonable. Consider-
able, nevertheless, as are the advantages accruing to
the metropolis from the sublime project of his Royal
Highness the PRINCE CONSORT, they are literally as
nothing, when contrasted with the benefits conferred
by it upon the world at large—benefits moral and
physical, social and intellectual—benefits tending,
both directly and indirectly, to advance the cause of
religion as well as of civilization.
Shortly after the first suggestion of the enterprise,
certainly a considerable while before the Crystal Palace
had been completed, and consequently long before
the memorable day of its inauguration, we took oc-
casion to refer to a very noble tribute offered to the
undertaking by the Rev. J. A. EMERTON, of Han-
well College, Middlesex--a prize of a hundred
guineas being extended by him to the writer of a
prize essay on the Great Exhibition. Dr. EMER-
TON'S magnificent conduct has at length produced its
fruit in a luminous paper by the Rev. J. C. Walsti,
of East Peckham, Kent, the prize having
been formally awarded to him by the ad-
judicators at Oxford, the Reverend RoneaT
Waexee, the Reader of Experimental Philo-
sophy, and the Rev. RICHARD MICHELL, the
Public Orator in that University. To this singularly
interesting publication,* therefore, we would most
earnestly commend all captious depreciators of
the Exhibition, satisfied that if perused by them with
even a moderate share of impartiality it must necessa-
rily dissipate most of their very erroneous objections
to the enterprise. In his arguments the essayist has
revealed an earnestness and intelligence deserving of
our warmest admiration.

It has often been asserted that there is " one law
for the rich and another for the poor," that wealthy
persons could escape with comparative impunity from
the penal consequences of acts that would be visited
with stringent severity if committed by their less
fortunate and less wealthy neighbours. This exemp-
tion, however, arises more frequently from the means
at the disposal of the fortunate few, enabling them to
make compensation to the injured parties out of
court, and thus to buy off prosecutions, or, if matters
were driven to extremities, to obtain the best possible
professional assistance, and to present their respective
cases in the most favourable aspects, than to any defi-
ciency in the law itself, or negligence, or undue
totenritis mon the part of its administrators. It used
be the proud boast of Englishmen that their law

"ABLEY V. DALE," must completely dispel the pleas-
ing illusion.
We do not venture to impeach the de-
cision of the learned and distinguished judges who
preside in that court with so much credit to them..
selves and advantage to the community. If even a
different construction could be placed on the statute
we should feel the utmost doubt and diffidence in
contesting any point that had been determined with
'
the unanimous assent of Lord CAMPBELL and his
learned colleagues. But we fear that the conclusion
arrived at by these eminent men was bat too well
founded, and that no other interpretation of the law
could have been consistent with the faithful and con-
scientious discharge of their onerous and important
duties. The'fault, then, such as it is, must be ascribed
to the Legislature, and not to the judicial authorities,
and the unquestionable grievance inflicted on the less
wealthy classes must be redressed by Parilacant and

The facts of the case were very simple. The de-
fendant having obtained a County Court judgment
against the plaintiff, took out a summons to enforce it
against his person. On the hearing the plaintiff re-
lied on his discharge by the Court for the relief of in-
solvent debtors under the several statutes in such
cases made and provided, and that the said judgment
debt had been duly inserted in his schedule, and full
notice given to the creditor of his intended application
The judge of the County Court, however, overruled
the defence ; an order was accordingly made, and a
warrant issued, under which the plaintiff was arrested
and imprisoned, and for that injury he brought his
action for false imprisonment against the former
plaintiff. On the trial a verdict was returned in his
favour, leave being reserved to move to enter a non-
suit, or for a new trial. The matter was subsequently
argued on both sides, the real question being as to the
effect of a discharge by the Insolvent Court from
County Court judgments.
Judgment was delivered on Friday, as we
have already stated, the practical effect of
which is that a discretion is vested in the County
Court judge, who has jurisdiction to commit in such
cases, notwithstanding a discharge by the Court for
the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, which, so far as judg-
ments of these recently constituted tribunals are
concerned, becomes of no practical utility. It cer-
tainly seems strange that the Commissioners of these
latter courts should have authority to grant protec-
tion to parties who surrendered all their property to
be administered for the general benefit of their cre-
ditors against the judgments, decrees, and orders, of
the superior courts •f law and equity, and not
against those of inferior tribunals. The creditor can
oome in to make his complaint in one case as well as
in the other, and if he can show any misconduct on
the part of the debtor, or establish a well-founded
complaint, the petitioner will be punished either by
a prolonged remand, or by the dismissal •f his peti-
tion. Having thus satiated hie vengeance, the
County Court creditor could, however, take further
proceedings, and bring the unfortunate debtor again
and again before the County Court judge, obtaining
repeated orders for his incarceration, unless be did
that which would be considered a fraudulent prefe-
rence if committed before his insolvency, justly sub-
jecting him to a prolonged imprisonment. As Lord
CAMPBELL justly remarked, "It certainly did seem
to be manifestly unjust to commit, for the non-
payment of a particular creditor, a man whose whole
property had been given up for the satisfaction of the
debts of the whole of his creditors, and that a county
court should have the power to commit a man for not
paying such debt, who has been adjudged by the In-
solvent Court to be discharged from that debt."
The Noble and Learned Lord added, " that ab-
surdity was not diminished by the transfer of the
business of the Insolvency Commissioners to the
judges of the County Courts." He was, however,
coerced by the plain and unambiguous words of the
statute, and reluctantly compelled to decide against
the equities of the case.
We trust that this anomalous state of affairs, con•
trary to the intention of the Legislature and the spirit
of the law, Rill be speedily changed. None can con-
tend that a poor man, all whose liabilities must ne-
cessarily be within the jurisdiction of the county
courts, should be subjected to the unceasing persecu-
tion of vindictive creditors after he has denuded him-
self of all his possessions, and started afresh on the
" battle of life" without means or resources save his
own exertions, while the man whose position enabled
him to obtain more extensive credit, and whose debts
were a hundredfold those of his less fortunate neigh-
bour, should be exempted from all annoyance. It
certainly does establish the fact that there now is
" one law for the rich and another for the poor"--a
reproach which it is the duty of the Legislature to
remove from the nation without any unnecessary
delay.

It may be asserted, that as the point is left to the
discretion of the judge, no great mischief can arise;
but, although we believe that discretion would be
wisely and judiciously exercised in the great ma-
jority, there may, and have been instances to the con-
trary, and great hardships may be inflicted if even
the present session be suffered to elapse without an
adequate remedy being provided fur the unquestion-
able grievance.

THE GREAT CHESS TOURNAMENT.
Since our last notice of these interesting matches, the second
series of games has terminated by Mr. Staunton's placing Herr
Horwitz hors de combat, the result of their play being that Mr.
Staunton won four games, Herr Horwitz two, and one finely
contested game was drawn. The four hitherto successful
players have again drawn lots for their antagonists, and Mr.
Staunton has now to contend against Herr Anderssen, a dis-
tinguished player of Berlin. The interest of the play in-
creases as the tournament draws nearer to its conclusion.
Mr. Staunton has to defend, against no ignoble rival, his
well-earned reputation ; while the play between M Wvill
and Mr. Williams will be watched with the m orer.
intey rest
from their previous success against good players. Mr. Wil-
liams has already commenced the third aeries by winning
one game of Mr. Wyvill. Messrs. Andersaen and Staunton
are to commence their contest to-day.
[The signal triumph achieved by Mr. Staunton over his
distinguished antagonist, Herr Norwitz, will be scarcely
matter of surprise to those who are in any way acquainted with
the peculiar genius and remarkable powers of the conqueror.
As a master of the game he has never perhaps before revealed
such varied resources, such vigilant caution, or such scien-
tific adroitness, not even in his celebrated contest with M.
St. Arrant, a contest which, like the recent
one with Herr Horwitz, left him still the glory
of being unvanquished. Those already familiar with
his "play" need not be reminded that he never indulges in
the temerity of the " gambits," adhering throughout to that
close game, which of all styles and systems on the board is
the most deadly and overwhelming. It is in this manner
that he closes in the whole power of his forces upon those of
his antagonist, striking whenever he does strike with -a
vigour altogether irresistible, and slowly grapp;ing
his opponent with the energy of an of Calculations. Inasmuch as his r Athlete
has displayed these singular capacities ecent
struggle
more than
in
their usual vividnesss, we have certainly not had to
record a more brilliant triumph since the days of Delabour-
donnais. The result, however, has confirmed rather than
enhanced the reputation of the conqueror, Howard Staunton
having been long, recognised as the most illustrious of living
chess players. It cannot but be matter of congratulation,
nevertheless, to his fellow-countrymen to find him, in addi-
tion to all his former successes, passing more than satisfac-
torily through the present ordeal as Champion of the Great
Chess Tournament.—ED.

.OBATII OF DANIEL GRANT, Et3Q.--MF. Daniel
Grant, of the well-known firm of Grant, Brothers, Mancheis-
ter, expired on Thursday, at his residence at Ramsbottom,
near Bury, having survived his elder brother William only
five years. There were originally four brothers, who left
the Highlands of Scotland with their father to try their for-
tunes in the manufacturing districts. William, the elder
brother, was apprenticed to a calico printer and dyer, near
Bury, and afterwards took the business of the Peels, at
Ramsbottom, subsequently receiving his brothers into part-
nership. Everything they engaged in went exceedingly
prosperous with them, and they were enabled in a few years
to purchase the works they at first only rented. Their belie;
volence was known throughout the manufacturing districts,
as well as their great wealth, and it was an oft-quoted re-
mark of the elder brother's, " that the more money they,
gave away the more they made." Those who have visited'
Rarambottom, situated in a beautiful part of the vale of the'
Irwell, a few miles only from the birthplace of the late Sir
Robert Peel, will have noticed a tower oa the bleak summit
of the hills which form the northern side of this valley. It
is said to mark the spot where the elder brother and his,
father sat down to rest on their first arrival in the neigh-
bourhood from the Highlands, more than half a century
ago, with a drove of cattle, and the old man, who, struck
with the beauty and luxuriance of the vale beneath, ex-
claimed, " Oh, Willie, here's a heaven on earth l " lived to
see the broad fertile lands he had admired so much the pro-
perty of his son (then only fourteen years old), and to live
with him in a handsome mansion erected upon it. The
only surviving son is Mr. John Grant, of Broadbottom, near
Mottram.—[lt may be interesting to remind the public that
Daniel Grant, of Manchester, was the original of one of those
BrothersCheeryble whose benevolence has been so beautifully
celebrated by Charles Dickens in his "Nicholas Nickleby.

the interior of the Crystal Palace, viewed from the middle of
the transept, looking down the western nave, and including,
of course, among other interesting objects, the crystal
fountain. The plate—which has been engraved on steel
and is adorned with facsimile autographs of the Queen and
the Prince—forms an admirable companion picture to
Berger's view of the exterior of the same building.
Flsis ARTS.—We have been requested by Messrs.
Clarke and Melton to look at Mr. Linnel's large picture of
"The Eve of the Deluge," which having served to illustrate
the enormous prices given for modern works of art, has found
its way into the galleries of those gentlemen in Regent-
street. The picture is certainly a magnificent one, and has
been retouched by the artist with considerable advantage.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.
We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and of yesterday.
The discussion on the third reading of the National
Guard Bill was resumed on Friday, and in the
course of it General BARAG UAT D'HILLIERS, to
whose refusal to act under the orders of General CA-
VAIGNAC in June, 184ö, allusion had been made on
Thursday, thus explained the incident. After de-
claring that he repudiated the doctrine that a soldier
bad a right to refuse under certain circumstances to
obey the command of his saperior,
General BAaAGUAY D'HILLIERS said that as to
the particular circumstance alluded to he begged to
remind the Assembly that he was at the time a re-
presentative of the people sitting in opposition to the
Government of the day, and as such was folly war-
ranted in declining to accept an invitation—:or it was
an invitation and not an order, from the lion. Ge-
neral CAVAIGNAC. Previously to that period he had
been honoured with the defence of the Assembly,
and had it been attacked he would not surely have
acted as Colonel CHARRAS had dote on the
15th of May, when, instead of repelling the
rioters, he went off to the Luvmhourg to
look for instructions. Oa the 2nd of .-une he ten-
dered his resignation, because he did tot approve of
seeing 17 battalions around the Assembly for no use-
ful purpose. It was at six o'clock, on the evening of
the 24th, that the invitation to take the command,
vacant by the death of General NEGRIER, had been
offered him; but the insurrection was then virtually
at an end, and he did not wish to ga into the field
after the victory. In conclusion, he would again
protest against the monstrous doctrines concerning
military obedience which had beet put forth at that
tribune.
General CAVAIGNAC then spoke as follows :—Since
my name has been mixed up in this discussion, I de-
sire to re-establish the facts in their real situation. I
was Minister of War on June 23, when the incident
occurred to which allusion has jest been made. Then,
as now, I fully admitted the distinction which the
Honourable General who spoke lasthas made between
the military man and the representative. I did not
send him any order to take a command ; I saw that
as representative he bad a right to refuse or accept,
as he thought fit, and I in .:onsequence only gave
him an invitation to the effect that the vacant com-
mand was at his service, ane that I should be well
pleased to see him take it. 1 did not do that through
a third party, but in person in the cabinet of the
President of the Assembly. Had he not been a re-
presentative of the people, ny course would have been
different, as then I should lave sent him an order to
act as I desired. I consider that he was fully autbo.
rised to refuse, and 1 admit the more readily Me lati-
tude which he claims for the military man who is a
representative, that I can very well picture to myself
situations in which I should also refuse to afford my
co-operation.—(Hear.)
General CHANGARNIER—I can well conceive that
the Assembly is not anxims to prolong this afflicting
discussion, and I consequently do not intend to
occupy it for any length of time. M. CHARRAS yes-
terday, whilst supporting the strange doctrines which
were brought forward, mentioned my name. I wish
to disengage that name from everything that can
in the remotest degree seem to connect it with
such doctrines, and my task is facilitated by the na-
ture of the opinions set forth. Some short time back,
in this tribune, I said that nothing could force the
army to march against the National Assembly, and
the Hon. Gentleman who spoke of me appears to
have drawn from that assertion the conclusion that
the army would refuse to march when ordered--
that it would, in fact, consult on the orders given.
Well, then, I affirm that such a doctrine is nothing
else than ridiculous.—(Loud cheers.) With ,such
doctrines all discipline would he at an end, and I say
further that every act of my life is opposed to such
ideas; that not a word of mine, spoken or written,
ever in the remotest degree sanctioned such detestable
doctrines.—(Loud cheers.) The interpretation, there-
fore, which M. CHARRAS has given to some words
which fell from me is absolutely erroneous, and I
stand here to protest against it.—(Renewed cheers on
the Right; great agitation on the Left, accompanied
with exclamations.)
On the demand of General LAMORICIERE the inci-
dent was declared closed, the debate on the Bill was
resumed, and that Bill was read a third time by a
large majority.
We find the following in the Journal des Debats :
—"lt is affirmed that General Annex, who had
been intended as Ambassador to London, has just
been appointed to Madrid. He will be replaced in
the post at London by Count COLONNI WALEWSKI,
lately appointed Ambassador to Madrid, and who was
previously French Minister at the Court of Naples.
The National publishes a protest signed by M. C.
LESSEE'S and several other persons now confined in
the prison of Agen, charged with being concerned in
the Lyons conspiracy. They complain bitterly of
the treatment they have undergone in being dragged
from prison to prison for eight months, while scarcely
the shadow of a charge, they affirm, can be brought
against them, except that they are republicans. They
ask for immediate trial, which they assert will fully
establish their innocence.
M. Dumas late Minister of Commerce, has just
left Paris for 'London.
The Committee of Revision sat on Saturday, and
in the course of the discussion M. BeauvEß declared
that his main object in desiring a total revision was
to prevent the re-election of Louis NAPOLEON.
M. DR TOCQUEYILLE thought the country ought to
be allowed the full exercise of its judgment by an un-
qualified election of a President by universal suffrage.
General CAVAIGNAC declared that he would bear of no revision until the stability of the Republic was
put beyond question. Let the partizans of monarchy
renounce their projects, and rally to the Republic,
and he would then consent to a revision of the Con-
stitution, which be acknowledged to be defective.
M: FORCADE replies in the Massager to M. CAR-
LIER 5 letter, accusing him of abuse of confidence in
publishing the notes which were intrusted to him in
confidence for the purpose of drawing up a report.
M. FORCADH says that he has never seen M. CAR-
, LIEN but twice in his life; once, after several invita-
tions sent him at the Prefecture of Police, in com-
pany with MM. SOLAR and AUDERTIN, friends of
his connected with the press ; and the second
time, after AI. FORCADE had left. the Patric, also
at the Prefecture, when the Prefect requested
him to draw up the report on the notes lately
made public. Al. FORCADE did not draw it up
because he perceived, he says, a marked change
in the Prefect's policy, as proved by his conduct rela-
tive to the reviews of Satory, the tolerance of the
Society of the Dix Deicembre, and the part
taken by that functionary in the affair
of ALLAIS against the Assembly. He kept
the papers by him for eight months without
ever making them known, but " I esteemed myself
fortunate," says M. FORCADE, " in possessing under
your hand a powerful proof of the practices and
dangers of Bonapartism." He only at length made
the documents public when charged with having
thrown on the Government a suspicion which he
knew to be false. " You ask me," continues M.
FOECADE, " by what right I made use of your manu-
script? It is, Monsieur, by the right of my con-
science, enlightened by the revelations which you have
afforded me, and by the right of my honour attacked
by a policy which you caused me to suspect. If one
of us can talk of breach of confidence, I safely put this
question to public opinion. Is it not he, who, if the
facts put forth in your memoir be false, as you en-
deavour to show in your letter, would have been not
only the victim, but the dupe of the confidence which
he had placed in you ? Is it not I?"

SPAIN.
Madrid journals of the 10th have been received.
The Marquis of MIRAFLORES, the Minister for
Foreign Affairs, was questioned in the Senate as to
the intentions of Spain with regard to intervening in
the affairs of Portugal. In reply, the Minister stated
that he respected in the highest degree the indepen-
dence of other nations. He added, that the single
exception would be that of Queen ISABELLA'S Go-
vernment beholding Queen DONNA MARIA'S throne in
danger ; but that event had not happened, and at that
moment nothing serious need be apprehended. The
Duke of SALDAsne had hastened to assure the re-
presentatives of France, of England, and of Spain
that as long as he should be honoured with the con fi-
deuce of the QUEEN, there was nothing to be feared
for the safety of the throne of DONNA MARIA. Up
to this period the representatives of the three powers
at Lisbon had limited themselves to giving to Marshal
SALDANIII and the Portugues Government wise and
salutary counsels touching the preservation of the
throne. If, however—which GOD forbid—the crown
of Queen DONNA MARIA should one day be placed in
peril, and the intervention of Spain become necessary,
that intervention should not take place without a
previous understanding between Spain and the other
powers who were parties to the treaty of quadruple
alliance.

HOLLAND.
TEB HAGUE, JUNE 14,—The communal law, as
voted by the Second Chamber, has been brought
under debate in the First Chamber. The Govern-
ment has presented to the Second Chamber a project
of law for abolishing the navigation dues on the river
Meuse. In the preamble accompanying the project,
the Government states that measures were taken to
induce the Belgian Government to adopt the same
course in regard to that part of the Meuse which runs
through the Belgian territory.
DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Cologne Gazette contains a letter of the Gth
inst., from Flensburg, which says :—" After the dis•
cessions by the notables of Schleswig of the Govern-
ment Bill for an arrangement of differences, the Hol-
stein deputies presented a protest, in which inadvisi-
bility and independence of the duchies is asserted.
A warm discussion ensued. M. Wiese, who had
drawn up the protest, in speaking of the future pros-
pects of Schleswig, said that, if necessary, an applica-
tion would be made for support to the Germanic Con-
federation. Then the storm burst ; the Danish and
Schleswig Deputies protesting in the moat energetic
and solemn manner against the right of the Confede-
ration to interfere in the affairs of Schleswig. The
Deputies of Denmark and Schleswig
in then
counter declaration to that of Holstein, w made a
hich they
declare that the Government plan suited them
better
than any other. Both of these protests were inserted
formally in the procis verbal."

ITLY.
The Government of Piedmont has ordered Count
BERTOLA DE Risura, an emissary of the POPE and of
the Emperor of AUSTRIA, to be expelled the country,
and to be conveyed to the frontier by the police.
An English family named A1.130E0E411 has been
placed under arrest at Leghorn.
The Austrians have entered Spoleto.

Il HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Prodigo was repeated on Saturday with an increased
effect. The Limo elapsing beta een the second and third
acts is now diminished considerably ; the opera conse.
quenty acts within reasonable limits. Mine. Sontag sang
the touching air of Jeftele in the first act with exquisite
taste and pathos, and in the finale to the third
act her
acting and singing were perfection. Never have we seen
her so great an actress as in this finale. Madame
Ugalde was even more brilliant on Saturday than she
was on Thursday, and Gardoni has never appeared to
such advantage as he does in Azaele. Mas-
sol's Reuben is sublime; his make up is
perfect (his dress, it is said, was designed
by Horace Vernet, and he looks like an Emir
who bad stepped out of one of Horace Vernet's pictures),
and his singing and acting full of dramatic power and
heartrending pathos. Colletti as the High Priest was
very fine. The music of the opera grows on the auditor
by repetition; it must be heard more than once to be pro-
tpheirt!dy

graceful and fascinating choerographic art been carried
to such a pitCh of perfection. Rosati has, by her persona.
tion of Lia, vindicated her claim to the throne left vacant by
the abdication of the Taglioni, and the coryphies would, on
any other stage, rank as Blesses. It is impossible to
imagine anything more beautiful, or a more exquisite
junction of force and grace than the Pas des Poignards.
This, perhaps the most dazzlingly brilliant opera that
has ever been produced, was again received with enthit•
siastic applause by a house crowded to the ceiling.
