" 8. The harbour has been surveyed by Sirs). M'Neill,
with the assistance of the officers of her Moj lsty's ship
Stromboli. Plans of the proposed works have been
already submitted to the First Lord of the Admiralty,
and they are now forwarded for your Lordship's inspec-
tion.

"`9. There being no harbour on the coast of Syria
better than the open roadsteads of Beyrout, Jaffa, Tri-
poli, and Acre, or the pestilential harbour of Alexan-
dretta, the importance of having a safe and commodious
harbour will be apparent for political as well as com-
mercial purposes.
" 'lO. This harbour, connected by means of the rail-
way with Bussorah at the head of the Persian Gulf,
woull give to England the first strategical position in the
world.

" 11. The resources of England being male promptly
available on any emergency in the East, Chatham and
Southampton would become the basi3 of operations in-
stead of Kurrachee or Bombay, and would enable this
country to anticipate or repel, whether in Europe or
Asia, any attack with the rapidity and advantages of an
irresi,tible force. _

" emergency in India, troops (from Eng-
land) could be I..nded at Kurrachee in three weeks, and
in another week at Lahore, by steam transit.
'" 13. The Euphrates Valley Railway, in addition to
its poltica.l advantages, would powerfully promote the
commerce and civilization of the world at large, and
that the commercial and manufacturing communities
concur in these sentiments has been shown by the ad-
dresses lately submitted to your I)rdship. They are
quite alive to the importance of obtaining cotton, wool,
sugar, indigo, and other products from India and Meso-
pr,tamia, and the producti(in, being effected by free
"b°ur, would of necessity tend to the exiinction of
slavery.

" Through the zealous ex trtions of Major-Gene-
ral Chesney, aided by the advice and powerful support
of Viscount Stratford do ltedcliffe, a concession was
granted by the Turkish Government in the early part
of this year, guaranteeing a minimum rate of interest of
6 per cent. on the capital required fir the first section
from the Mediterranean to the Euphrates, besides
affording other privileges.
"` 15. But as these terms, from the state of the
money-market and other causes, have neither been, nor
are likely to be, sufficiently attractive to induce the
British capitalist to embark his money in a distant enter-
prise, the deputation of which I had the honour of being
a member, waited upon your lordship with the view of
impressing upon your attentiou the absolute necessity of
the pecuniary support of her Majesty's Government being
ex.,ended to the undertaking, in the event of the Govern-
ment concurring in the opinion expressed by the deputa-
tion that the Euphrates Valley Railway was a work of
great national importance.
" 16. It was most satisfactory to the deputation to
have from your lordship the assurance that her Majesty's
Government entirely concurred with the deputation as to
the great importance to this country of connecting Eng-
land and India by the Euphrates Valley route, and that
it would c tntinue to receive the countenance and fur-
therance of Government.
" 17. The financisl support required from her Ma-
jesty's Government is a counter guarantee of 5 per cent.
for 25 years, or 41 per cent, for 50 years, on the capital
of 1,400,0001. for the first section. The responsibility in-
curred by the Government in granting this assistance,
would, it is believed, be merely nominal, and could only
accrue in the event of two cintingencies—the railway
not paying a moderate dividend, and the Turkish Go-
vernment failing to fulfil its part of the contract.
" 18, Only under the above circumstances could her
Majesty's Government be called upon to make any con-
tribution, and it will be seen by reference to Sir John
M'lsTeill's report that the existing traffic upon that por-
tion of the route of the proposed railway is sufficient, in
his judgment, to yield a dividend of 8 per cent. on the
capital required.
in. The East Indian Company might fairly be ex-
pectad to share the responsibility of the counter guaran-
tee in the same way as they have already contributed to
the subsidy to the European and Indian Junction Tele-
graph Company, as the establishment of the proposed
route appears to be of vital importance for securing the
possession of India.
goe,,,d,g2oov.e,rrnhmeeenxt peaceable
andperienced and distinguished gentlemen
with whom I had the honour of being associated in wait-
ing upon your lordship on the 22d inst. are well aware
that the question of the Government guaranteeing inte-
rest on an industrial undertaking is not free from diffi-
culty, and this difficulty would be increased if, on the
present occasion, the granting of the guarantee might
hereafter be quo!ed as a precedent for similar demands.
i« 21, The pecuniary support of Government is on
the present occasion sought not on industrial or commer-
cial considerations, but on account of the political im-
portance of the railway to the empire at large ; and it is

ment may render to the Euphrates Valley Railway ca'

Signor Giuglini made at once an immense hit as

than his fair companion, after the first few notes of
his part., ho was enabled to display his wonderful
powers to the best advantage, and convince the

more and more as the performance proceeded, and
recollec ion on the time-honoured stage of her Ma-
gr ee
Italian tenor, with a fresh and beautiful voice, as
who could be ranked with the very few really great
ones that we already possessed, was found at last.
Many had been tried with more or less success, but
still the certain " few" who were and are not with
Mr. Lumley remained the best of the beat until the
advent of Signor Giuglini, who, take him for all in
all, is certainly second to none in existence, and
whose transcendent abilities are sufficient in them-
selves to establish a perfect " balance of power"
with respect to the tenor department of our Italian
operas. Signor Giuglini subsequently appeared as
Alfredo in " La Traviata ;" Arturo in "Puritani ;"
Edgardo in " Lucia di Lammermoor ;" Maurice in
" 1l Trovatore ;" and Don Ottavio in " Il Don Gio-
vanni," besides performing at Mr. Benedict's con-
certs, and in scenes from " Il Pinata" and "I Mar-
tini," on his own benefit night, when he strikingly
exhibited his extraordinary powers of endurance by
appearing in no less than five different characters
without betraying any signs of fatigue.
Signor Vialetti, the other debutant on the open-
ing night, impressed the audience very favourably.
His noble voice (a deep bass) gave due effect to the
heavy and pompous music of Baldassare, whilst his
acting was honourably distinguished by character-
istic dignity, breadth of manner, and unflagging
earnestness. He was immeifstely recognised as a
genuine and extremely valuable artist ; and his
subsequent admirable delineations of Fernando, in
64 Il Trovatore," Orastaphe, in " Nino," and the
Cotumendatore, in " Il Don Giovanni," raised him
still higher in public estimation.
In the charming ballet of 46 La Esmeralda,"
Madlle. Carolina POcchini danced herself into the
good graces of the habitues, and gained in one night
a reputation which subsequent efforts tended rather
to increase than to diminish. The peculiar light-
ness and vivacity of her movements, the extraor-
dinary suppleness of her limbs, the perfect origi-
nality of tier steps and attitudes, excited general
admiration, and nightly elicited applause of the
warmest kind. It was no small matter to succeed
so well in " La Esmeralda," with Carlotta thisi
still fresh in the memory of the public, and yet
Pocchini never failed ta obtain an encore for " La,
Truandaize," and was equally fortunate in"
her exe-
tion of anosher dance called " Zino at
Signor
Baratti likewise made a successful debut in " Es-
meralda," and the same ballet also served to intro-
duce to our notice those clever and accomplished
danseuses Mesdlles. Rolla, Pasquali, Morlacchi,
Brunetti, and Karliski, whose agile and picturesque
execution of a new pas de 6111 was greatly and
jus•ly admired.
Atter three consecutive representations of
" La Favorite" with " La Esmeralda," Madlle.
Piccolomini, with Signor Belleti, and Signor
Stecchi Bottardi (a new tenor), appeared on Tues-
day, April 21, as Maria, Sulpizio, and Tonio, in "La
Figlia del Reggimento." Madlle. Piccolomini met
with a perfectly overwhelming reception, and her
general performance proved that she had gained in
physical power and strictly musical skill since last
year, whilst her acting as the lighthearted vivan-
diere was vivacious, impulsive, natural, and sym-
pathetic as ever. The house was crowded to wel-
come the return of the " little pet"—the " cara
bambino," as she has been affectionately termed ;
but a still greater concourse was drawn together by
the performance of " La Traviata" on the follow-
ing Thursday, with Piccolomini, Beneventano, and
Giuglini (the latter for the first time), in the char-
acters of Violetta, Giorgio, and Alfredo. The ab-
surd attacks which have been made upon the
libretto of this opera, combined with the enormous
attractions of the cast, would more than account
for the densely crowded state of the house on this
occasion. It was literally " chokefull," as the
phrase goes. The last scene again drew forth the
tears and praises of the audience ; , and the gifted
little heroine of the drama received, as on former
tn Traviata" nights, no end of ovations. This opera
was repeated on the succeeding Thursday and Sa-
turday, April 23 and 25 : on Thursday and Friday,
April 30 and May 1, followed each night by " La
Esmeralda ;" and on Thursday, May 7, Madlle.
Piccolomini appeared' for the first time, and with
triumphant success, as Lucia. This was considered
in many respects her greatest performance, and it
certainly was, to say the least, a worthy companion
picture to her Traviata., Her acting throughout the
so-called "madscene ' wastranscendantly fine. After
several consecutive repetitions of Lucia, Mdlle. Pic-
colomini reappeared at intervals in "La Figlia" and
"La Traviata" with undiminished attraction and
effect, and on Thursday, June 11, she essayed for
the first time the character of. Zerlina, in " Il Don
Giovanni," and with most triumphant success.
Madlle. Piccolomini'srenderings of "La ci Darern,"
" Batti Ba ti," a',d. "Vedrai Caritio" may be ranked
amongst her greatest inspiratioes. Her Zerlina, in-
deed, was quite a dramatic creation. Unlike any
other version of that part we had previously seen,
it was truthful in conception and artistic in execu-
tien as it was fresh iu feeling and original in man-
ner. On Tuesday, the 28th of April, there was ano-
ther important debut—that of Madlle. Ortolani, as
Elvira, I Puritani This young lady, although
evidently suffering to a painful degree from trepi-
dation, managed to acquit herself, on the whole,
honourably, and met with unequivocal success. "I
Puritani' was repeated several times at intervals,
and the fair debutante rose gradually in public fa-
- your until the production of " Dori Giovanni,"
I when, by her really admirable delineation of the
somewhat ungrateful character of Donna Elvira,
she took a veritable pas de geant, and won the un-
qualified approbation of the connoisseurs, most of

In conclusion, we may call attention to the rare
merits of the gentleman who not only set all this
complicated machinery of a vast establishment in
motion, and applied it to the best purposes of art,
but who also discovered its capabilities. With
zeal and energy a man of average ability and long
experience may easily fulfil the routine duties of
theatrical management ; but he who displays what
we will term creative powers may be truly said to
possess the genius of direction. The public
must have confidence in such a man under
any circumstances. He may have reverses—mis-
fortunes "enough to bear a royal merchant down"—
but so long as he shows any signs of vitality the
public will believe in his resuscitation, if not in his
ultimate triumph. Such a person is Mr. Lumley,
the manager of her Majesty's Theatre. Twice has
he been left without a company, and twice has ho
contrived to " create a soul under the ribs of death,"
to defy augury, and reconstruct one of the
greatest lyrical institutions in the world upon what
most people would consider the very slender and
treacherous foundations of hope, faith, and confi-
dence in his own indomitable courage and unflag-
ging energy. Marietta Piccolotnini and Giuglini,
two of the greatest artists in existence, may be con-
sidered in a certain sense, and, with reference t 3
the London public, to be creations of Mr. Lumley,
as was Jenny Lind in former years ; and, in fact,
the greater portion of the company, whose attrac-
tions have filled his gigantic theatre night after
night during the last two seasons, were artists
scattered about Europe (some of them in compara-
tive obscurity) whose great merits none but a
manager of extraordinary vigilance would have be-
come cognisant of ; people who required all the
efforts of the most delicate and pet severing diplo-
macy to bring them together, and upon the chances
of whose success with a difficult public nothing less
that a most enterprising spirit would have staked
the vital interests of a great establishment. It is
no wonder, then, that Mr. Lumley, after all his
recent glorious successes, was called for enthusias-
tically on Saturday night last, which brought one
of the most brilliant E eisons ever known at her
Majesty's Theatre to a worthy close. The popular
director merely walked across the stage, bowing
his acknowledgments, and made no speech, as
many people imagined he would. We have now
only space to say that the regular season termi-
nated with a very fine performance of "La Tra-
viata," and a new ballet-divertissement, in which
the fascinating Marie Taglioni appeared to great
advantage.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge,
accompanied by her Royal Highness the Princess
Mary, honoured the performance with their pre-
sence. Their Royal Highnesses were attended by
Major Home Pur ves and Lady Geraldine Somerset.

the theatre with their presence on this occasion we

THE CONDEMNED CONVICTS IN Esssx•—•The Sheriff
has fixed the 23d instant for the execution of Crawley,
and the 29th for that of Finch. It was desired that
both executions should take place on the same day, but
the official authorities found this arrangement could not
be made. Crawley continues in the same indifferent
state as when upon his trial, and has not made any con-
fession of his guilt. He has since Friday been visited
by the sheriff, his eons, and the Rev. J. Last, the
Catholic priebt.-04amsford Chronicle.

In hosiery there is a little more doing ; trade,
however, still continues quiet in most branches, and
manufacturers are wisely abstaining from accumu-
lating stocks.
Hosiery, silks, and yarns are without alteration.
LEICESTER, JULY 18.
There is an improvement in the hosiery trade,
manufacturers for the most part giving out more
work. In the fancy department there is a decided
change for the better, still the high price of mate-
rial will prevent manufacturers making extra
stock. There is not much change in trade at
Loughborough or Hinckley. Wools are realising
very high prices. At Brackley ftir the price
averaged was 425. per tod, being 6s. higher than
last year, and all the wool was disposed of with
the exception of two small lots.
Worsted yarns are advancing, but as manufac-
turers have still some stocks on hand, sales will
not be effected at the advance until those stocks
are cleared. _ _

LEEDS, JULY 18.

The woollen trade has been rather quiet this
week, both in the warehouse and the pub-
lic markets. There appears to be a lull
in both the home and the export trade, and
purchases are made chiefly to make up stocks, or
where anything good and cheap for the fall
trade is offered. The manufactures continue to
be moderately well employed, and the stocks in
hand are only of an average character for the 'sea
son, so that, with the present prospect of an early
and abundant harvest, a good trade for the close of
the year is anticipated To-day's market has pre-
sented no feature of material change. The attend-
ance of buyers was of an average character, and
they bought in the aggregate a good bulk of the
h.avier kinds of cloth for the winter trade, being
stimulated thereto, in some degree, by the prospect
of an increase in price, both wool and indigo having
advanced at the current sales in the metropolis.
The home growers of wool seem disposed to have
the very highest current prices, and are holding off
selling rather than take less. Hence transactions
in Yorkshire wools have not been very numerous
or to a large amount this week. Foreign and colo-
nial kinds, it is hardly necessary to say, are held
very firmly by the dealers.
HALIFAX, JULY 18.
_ _

The worsted and carpet trades are enjoying a
fair amount of prosperity, but neither of them is
actually brisk. The demand is more steady and
regular than in some past years, so that there is lees
fluctuation and less ground for speculative hope or
fear. The great bulk of the manufacturing opera-
tives are in work, but not wholly on full time. To-
day's market has been fully as active as that of last
Saturday, and a good deal of yarns and pieces has
been sold. Rather less done in wool, and prices
without alteration.

DUBLIN, JULY 18.

The Customs' receipts for the week to Thursday,
July 16, inclusive, were 18,7261. against 19,726/.
last week.

BELFAST, JULY 18.

Linen.—We cannot notice any material altera-
tion in any branch of the linea trade this week,
either in supply or demand.
Linen yarn unaltered.
Flax.—Owing to the large quantities of Baltic
flax arriving in our port for the la'tt fortnight, the
coarse qualities of both hand and mill scutched
flax have been neglected, and prices are now
in favour of buyers ; dealers are glad to get rid of
any stock they have on hand at less rates than they
would have accepted 14 days ago.
Cotton.—We have no change to report in the
sale of muslins in Belfast. The quantity of goods
at present made in the country districts is still
much under the mark, and as yet there is little sign
of greater actiou. In the yarn trade no change
whatever has taken place ; all high counts sell at
the rates of last month, those of the numbers ex-
ceeding 120's twist are firmer, and if Sea Island and
Egyptian wools range at the high figures noted for
some time past spinners will be obliged to put on
additional prices.
