We are authorised by Lord Panmure to eats that the
assertion made by Commissary-General Filder, in a
pamphlet published by him, that Colonel Tulloch, when
sent out to the Crimea, carried with him a commission
to supersede Mr. Filder as Commissary• General of the
army, is without foundation. Colonel Tulloch was
armed with no commission to supersede any officer, and
could have no personal object to attain by the removal
of Mr. Filder from his office.

Mr. Beale's troupe of Italian artistes have been per-
forming with great success in Manchester and Liverpool.
'Amongst the novelties in the representations has been
the first appearance of Herr Formes as Don Pasquale ;
and the result has been such as to realise the expecta
tions that might naturally be farmed by those who had
witnessed the great basso's performance of Leporello.
He played the part according to a conception of his
own; and the audience were much amused at the ease
and lightness displayed by an artist whom they had
seldom seen in other than characters of the most sombre
hue. Madame Gassier, as the heroine, is described as
having fairly revelled in the sparking beauties of the
music ; and the papers state that this favourite artiste
was never heard to greater advantage.
