(From the Morn* herald.)

A series of English operas was inaugurated last even-
ing at this theatre, under the joint management of Miss
Louisa Pyne and Mr. W. Harrison, two highly esteemed
favourites of the public, who have recently returned from
America, where for nearly two years they have been
exhibiting their talent to delighted audiences, and
achieving more solid testimonies of their abilities than
mere mouth-honour or the eulogies of critics. Miss
Louisa Pyna sings the music of Catarina admikbly,
while Mr. Harrison vocally sustains the part of Hen-
rique most effectively. The band and chorus are h)fif
excellent, and Mr. Alfred Mellon's name at the bead of
the forces shows that the managers are determined that
nothing shall be wanting in the neglected departments
of English opera. a move in the right ,direc-
tion, and calls for unqualified praise.

( From ae Morning Ackertisei)
Last night this tileatre was re-opened for an opera
season of three months, under the joint managemint of
Miss Louiea Pyne and Mr. W. Harrison, who have for
a conider.th:e period bean engaged in a professional
tour of the United States in the performance of
operas, and, we trust we may say, with very profit-
able re6ults. We ha'l with Much pleasure the Present
speculation. Our old favourite Mr. W. Harrisdh was
eLst.in the part of Don lienrique, and, being his firth
appearance since his return from America, his e 1-
trance upon the stage was haiilied with repeated rounCis

AQUATICS.

WEST LONDON ROWING CLUB.

This club contested on Saturday last, 19th inst.,
a pair-oared race in outrigged giga,•with coxswains,
for silver tankards, the course being from Putney to
the Old.-bridge, Battersea. The following craws
statted—llest.rs. H. Nicholetts and Captain G.
Chadwin—G. Mann, cox. (Green) ; E. M'Manus
and R.I. Tyler—W. A. Tyler, cox. (White) ; T.
M. Morriss and P. R. Morriss—W. E. Bennett,
cox. (Red) ; E. G. Hartley and E. Mann—John
Tyler, jun., cox. (Blue). Mr.. F. E. Needham
acted as umpire. On starting Green slightly took
the lead, closely followed by White ; but, notwith-
standing the energies of both Blue and Red, kept
it fill within a hundred yards of the goal, when
White by a tremendous spurt lessened the distance
between them to about a boat and a-half. Green,
nevertheless, won by nearly two boats' length.
When near the Feathers, Wands worth, the stretcher
of Red gave way, Blue then passed them, and a
good race ensued between the two, which resulted
in Red coming in third by a boat's length.

A letter from Berlin confirms the news which bad
.prevailed that M. Von der Heydt, Minister Of
Commerce, in compliance with solicitations ad-
dressed to him, has consented to withdraw his re-
signation.

The Algiers papers' state that some agitation
has recently been remarked amongst the wio-
- Moorish tribes which occupy the territory
between Fez and Morocco, and that some acts of
Insubordination were expected. They add that the
Emperor of Morocoo is at the former town and his
son in the second.

CITY SIIERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q. C. )

MASTERS AND WORKMEN-WHERE IS THE REDRESS ?
This morning several workmen who had been in the
employ of Messrs. Bra's, of Silver-street, Aldergates,
applied for summonses, under the following circum-
stances :—They were, according to their statement, dis-
missed last evening without being paid, and were told
to call for their money at G o'clock this morning, which
they did, but were not paid till seven o'clock. They
now applied to his Honour for advice.
His Honour said that he could not, as a judge, give
any advice ; they must apply to a solicitor.
The men generally said it was hard to lose a day's
work and not be able to get recompense. As to the
j ,h, they did not care about it, although it might be
a long one.
His Honour, being still further pressed for his advice,
said the best advice he could give them was to go
back and settle the difference with their employers ;
there must be some misunderstanding.
The men were still discontented, and at last his
Honour said that he would not in the least way inter-
fere until the case came before him judicially.
The parties then retired. No reason was assigned
I r the discharge of the men.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

RUFFIANLY ASSAULT ON THE POLICE BY A CABMAN.
John Ash, a cab—?river, badge 2,723, was charged
before Mr. Bingham with vieleutly assaulting police
constables Cook, 106 C, and Winters, 115 C, while in
the execution of their duty.
Cook, 106 C, stated that about S o'clock last night be
was on duty in the Haymarket, when he saw the
defendant standi❑g with his cab by the side of the
street, so as to intercept the whole of the thoroughfare.
lie civilly requested him to go away, which he
refused to do. Prisoner then got off his cab,
aril said, " There is my cab, I shall go home."
Witness- then observed that he was intoxicated,
and called the waternian from the adjoining cab-stand
to take charge of defendant's cab while be took him (de-
fondant) to the station-house. On their way to the latter
place the prisoner struck him with great foree in the
mouth, and then tripped him up. Witness struggled
with him for nearly ten minutes, during which the pri-
soner tore his coat ar.d trousers all to pieces. The pri-
soner would no doubt !alive inflicted "further injuries,
had not Winters, 115 C, come to his assistance, and
lodged the prisoner in the station.
Winters said he went to the aid of last witness, when
the prisoner turned upon him (witness) and kicked him
' with great violence.
11 The prisoner, who strongly denied the charge, was
committed to the House of Correction for a month.

OPENING OF THEISTATES GENERAL.

THE HAGUE, SEPT. 21.

The States General 'assembled to-day for the
session of 185'T and 1858, and the proceedings
were opened as usual by a speech from his Ma-
jesty in person. His Majesty thanked.the Chamber
for their cordial co-operation in the formation
and completion of the law relative to education.
His Majesty informed the Chamber that his
relations with foreign Powers remained upon a
most peaceful and friendly footing ; that the co-
lonial possessions in •the East, and almost all
portions of the Dutch dominions were in a most
satisfactory and peaceful condition ; that the
abolition of slavery in the West Indian colonies
would again be brought under •the attention of
the Chamber ; that the balance of the Colonial
credit for the current year was most satis-
factory ; that the country generally was in a
most flourishing condition ; that, although a
very hot summer, preceded by a cold spring,
had rendered feed for cattle scarce, the general
result of the harvest was favourable ; that the
attention of the Government was especially
directed to railway schemes, and that they had
brought forward several proposals with regard to
these undertakings ; that it was the intention of
the Government to favour private enterprises by
all means in their power, and, if necessary, even
to render assistance in a pecuniary way in the for-
mation of the capital ; that the. increase of tele-
graphic communication had rendered it necessary
to open more offices and construct new lines ; and
that among the financial laws to be introduced
during the present session the revision of the sys-
tem of taxation would occupy a prominent place.
His Majesty concluded by trusting that the pre-
sent time of prosperity, and peace might be used
in a manner indicative of thankfulness to Al
mighty God for the great blessings vouchsafed to
the country.
His Majesty then declared the States General
to be opened.

GREAT BOAT RACE.

The great boat race between Robert Chambers,
of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and Alfred Ralph, of
Wandsworth, for 2001., took place yesterday. Ihe
celebrity the first-named had acquired in his many
gallant conflicts in the north, and the fine and close
race between him and his present opponent Ralphl
at the last Thames regatta, had rendered this a
most interesting event in aquatic circles, and large
sums of money had been speculated on the event.
At first, the betting was only slightly in favour of
Chambers, but after he had had a few trials over
the course, his friends became so sanguine of his
success that the odds increased to 6 and 7 to 4, and
at last to 2to 1. There were never two men more
evenly pitted against each other in point of weight
and age. They both rowed at about 11 stone, and
are fine athletic men, 26 years old. The distance
was from Putney to Mortlake, and several
steamers were crowded to witness the race, besides
which there was a vast multitude on shore. At 4
o'clock the men made their appearance in very flue
light out-riggers, and divested of every superfluous
article of clothing. They both looked very confi-
dent, and were in first-rate condition. Ralph,
having won the toss for choice of station, took ►he
Middlesex side, and all preliminaries having been
arranged, the competitors started. They both got
away at the same inAtant, and were literally scull
and scull to Messrs. Searle's, and then for a mo-
ment, by dint of very extraordinary labour, Ralph's
boat showed just in• front, but he was unequal to
the continuance of exertion necessary to keep :it
there, while the steady, long, and machine-like
stroke of his opponent seemed incompetent of abate-
ment in power, and he consequently drew oval'
from his opponent, at first slowly, but as the latter
declined, with more rapidity. Ralph most assuredlY
rowed desperately to retrieve the fortune of the
day, but his opponent, after the first half-mile,
never gave him the shadow of a chance. Chambers,
after again and again easing, won by half-a-dozen
lengths, completing the distance in 24k minutes•
Mr. Casamajor, the gentleman champion of the
Thames, was referee.

(From the Times.)

Last night this house was opened for a short season,
that Mr. Roberts, an American tragedian, new to this
country, might have a fitting opportunity of displaying
such talents as he might be supposed to possess. For
his first part he selected Sir Giles Overreach in the
"New Way to Pay Old Debts," by which selection he
exposed himself to no slight ordeal. By the dint of
much spirit and a great deal of judgment he passed
through the ordeal with credit. The great passionate
act with which the piece concludes, and which by the
dint of accumulated mishaps elevates a bad man into a
hero who can command the sympathy of his spectators,
was most conscientiously rendered. At the fall of the
curtain he had the honour of a separate call, and we may
say that the guerdon was fairly merited.

(From the iforni2sj Herald.)

A series of Euglish operas was inaugurated last even-
ing at this theatre, under the joint in magement of Miss
Louisa Pyne and Mr. W. Harrison, two highly estesund
favourites of the public, who have recently returned from
America, where for nearly two years they have been
exhibiting their talent to delighted audiences, awl
achieving more solid testimonies of their abilities than
mere mouttl-honour or the of if'
eulogies
CI ...CH. Miss
Louisa Pyne sings the music o Catarina admirably,
while Mr. Harrison vocally eustains the part of Hen•
rique most effectivt;y. The band and chorus are both
ex,:ellent, and Mr. Alfred Mellon's name at the head of
the forces shows that the managers are determined that
nothing shall be wanting in the neglected departments
of English opera. This is a move in the right direc-
tion, and cabs for unqualified praise.

(From the Morning Advertisee)

Last night this taeatre was re-opned for an opera
season of three months, under the joint management of
Miss Louiea Pyne and Mr. W. Harrison, who have for
a considerable period been engaged in a professional
tour of the United States in the performance of
operas, and, we trust we may say, with very profit-
able results. We hall with much pleasure the present
aun
speculation. Our old favourite Mr. W. Harrison was

GREAT BOAT RACE.

The great boat race between Robert Chambers,
of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and Alfred Ralph, of
Wandsworth, for 2001., took place yesterday. The
celebrity the first-named had acquired in his many •
gallant conflicts in the north, and the fine and close
race between him and his present opponent Ralph
at the last Thames regatta, had rendered this a
most interesting event in aquatic circles, and large
sums of money had been speculated on the event.
At first, the betting was only slightly in favour of
Chambers, but after he had had a few trials over
the course, his friends became so sanguine of his
success that the odds increased to 6 and 7 to 4, and
at last to 2to 1. There were never two men more
evenly pitted against each other in point, of weight
and age. They both rowed at about 11 stone, and
are fine athletic men, 26 years old. The distance
was from Putney to Mortlake, and several
steamers were crowded to witness the race, besides •
which there was a vast multitude on shores • At 4
o'clock the men made their appearance in very fine
light out-riggers, and divested of every superfluous
article of clothing. They both looked very confi-
dent, and were in find-rata condition. Ralph,
having won the toss for choice of station, took the ,
Middle3ex side; and all preliminaries having been
arranged, the competitors started. They both got
away at the same instant, and were literally scull
and scull to Messrs. Searle's, and then for a mo-.
meat, by dint of very extraordinary labour, Ralph's
boat showed just in front, but he was unequal to
the contiLuance of exertion necessary to keep it
there, while the steady, long, and machine-like
stroke of his opponent seemed incompetent of abate- •
went in-power, and he consequently drew away
from his opponent, at first slowly, but as the latter
declined, with more rapidity. Ralph most•assuredly
rowed desperately to retrieve the fortune of the
day, but his opponent, after the first half-mile,
never gave him the shadow of a chance. Chambers,
after again and again easing, won by half-a-dozen
lengths, completing the distance in 241 minutes.
Mr. Casamajor, the gentleman champion of the
Thames, was referee.

PAST AND FUTURE.

If we are to witness a repetition of the Acrobat and
Blink Bonny riots few gentlemen will be inclined to visit
a race-course, and it will be absolutely dangerous to
keep horses. A more di,,,graceful disturbance—a "row"
more unwarrantable than that created at Doncaster on
Friday—it was never my misfortune to witness. I have
no hesitation in stating, from facts that have come to
my knowledge, that the St. Leger backers of Blink
Bonny had an honest, race for their money, and that
the confidence of her owner and jockey were und►minished
until the very moment the mare was beaten. Blink Boni y
began to tire after passing the Red House, and on
reaching the distance she was quite beaten. Ignoramus
proved to be an overrated hone, but he went to the pat
with a moat suspicious leg, and walked so lamely back to
the enclosure, that many persons fancied he had broken
down. I was prepared for the utter defeat of the favour-
ites. In The Sun, on the Monday before the race, the
following remarks appeared :
" I shall therefore, without extending my remarks,
jump at the conclusion that Blink Bonny and Igno►a-
m.us will not be amongst the placed horses, and that the
double and treble events about the mare will be spoiled
by either Adamas or

(Front the Daily News.)

The spirited essay, made by Miss Louisa Pyne and
Mr. Harrison to raise the fallen fortunes of the English
musical stage, has been, to all appz•aranCe, most au,pi-
ciously begun. The Lyceum opened last night with- the
English version of Auber's comic opera " Les Diamans
de la Couronne," familiar to our public under the tide
of " The Crown Diamonds." The house was crowded
in every part, and the audience indulged in every de-
monstration of unbounded a❑thusiasm. A good deal of
allowance must be made for the enthusiasm of a first
night. Something must be ascribed to the ardour of
Personal friends and well wishers, and something to the
good spirit of an English audience towards a new and
well-intended undertaking, and their natural desire to
give it encouragement. But, after making every qoali-
fication of this nature, the applaus-, ou the whole, had
the true ring of spontaneous and hearty feeling ; and,
what was more, it was thoroughly deserved, for the p;ece
and its performance were sufficiently endlent to give
delight to the most fastidious critic.

AQUATICS.

WEST LONDON ROWING CLUB.

This chit) contested on Saturday last, 19th inst.,
a pair-oared race in cutrigged gigs, with c(xswains,
for silver tankards, the course being from Putney to
the Old-bridge, Battersea. The following craws
started—Messrs. H. Nicholetts and Captain G.
Chadwin—G. Mann, cox. (Green) ; E. M'ManuS
and P. J. Tyler—W. A. Tyler, cox. (White) ; T.
-M. Morriss and P. R. Morriss—W. E. Bennett,
cox. (Red) ; E. G. Hartley and E. Mann—John
Tyler, jun., cox. (Blue). Mr. F. E. Needham
acted as umpire. On starting Green slightly took
the lead, closely followed by White ; but, notwith-
standing the energies of both Blue and Red, kept ,
it till within a hundred yards of the goal, when
White by a tremendous spurt lessened the distance
between them to about a boat and a-half. Green,
nevertheless, won by nearly two boats' length.
When near the Feathers, Wandsworth, the stretcher
of Red gave way, Blue then passed them, and a
good race ensued between the two, which resulted
in Red coming in third by a boat's length.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE;

Last night Mr. Roberts, the American , tragedian,
made his first appearance in London as Sir 'GINS
Overreach in Maqsinger's play of "A New Way to
Pay Old Debts." In appearance Mr. Roberts bsars
strong resemblance to the late Edmund Kean, but he
lacks that magic voice which worked au& wonders.
On his entry he was- most cordially received, and
some minutes elapsed before the action of the
play proceeded. In the first two acts there was
nothing peculiar to notice in his acting—it was an even
gentlemanly performance, but in the third act he warmed
up, and from that part of the play he carried his audi-
ence with him. In the interview with Lord Lovell the
craving desire for the advancement of his daughter was
finely depicted, and again at the close of the fourth act-
he elicited great applause by the uncontrolled, yet
fiendish delight with which he gave the following lines
Methinks I hear already knights and ladies
Say, Sir Giles Overreach, how is it with
Your honourable daughter ?
My ends, my ends are compassed !—Then, for Wellborn
And the lands—were he once married to the widow—

I have him here. [Touching his forehead with his finger.]
I can scacre contain myself,
I am so full of joy ; nay, joy all over !

The quarrel scene with Wellborn was exceedingly well
acted, and as the terrible reality of the failure of all his
Eskimos became known to him, him acting rose to first-
rate excellence, excepting, of course, the death struggle,
which was by far too American to suit an English
audience. His next character, King Lear, will afford a
better opportunity of fairly judging of his merits, as last
night he was evidently labouring under excessive
nervousness. Mr. Belton made a capital Wellborn, and
Miss Portman, as Margaret, created a very favourable
impression. The house was well filled in every pars.

AFACT FOR PHYSIOLOGISTS !—lt is a
singular fact that in this enlightened age and countr y the
treatment usually adopted by the Faculty, in cases of Dyspep,ia. (In-

LYCEUM THEATRE.

(*am, the Times.)
Miss Louisa Pyne acs Mr. W. Harrison have Let
on foot a new enterprise, the aim of which is to
estaLlish English opera on a permanent basis at the
Lyceum Theatre. Since these well-known sing.sre
left England for the United States more thaai
one attempt has been made prdessing a simf.-
lar object—but without success. The reason was ok,
vintv. Tie idea of completeness wai altogether over •
looked, and in the absence of completeness no suca
undertakiog can possibly answer in the present day.
Miss Pyne and her asecciate appear to have taken thzq
into account, if we may judge from the first pert rtuance
last night, when Auber's delightful opera, "Les Thatnan3
de la Couronne," was given, according to the English
version, in such a in:enuer as to merit almost unqualified
approval. There was not a hitch from beginning to end,
and the beautiful mel idied of the king of French com-
posers were beard to the best advantage. A more-
genuine success was never obtained, one more indepen•
dently earned and amply merited.

(Front Me Morning Chronide.)
The Lyceum Theatre is again an English Opera House.
Last evening Mies Louisa Pyne and Mr. W. Harrison
commenced their season, and never were popular favou-
rites on their return from foreign travel received more
cordially. It is now, three years since they Lilt this coon
try for America, and all who renumber the vicissitudes
of English opera during that period must acknowledge
that we have not had such a force of "native talent"
that we could well spare two artistes of sun
Rarely during that interval have 'we srien an English
opera placed on the stage with so 'complete a caste as
that of Auber's " Crown Diamonds," as performed last .
evening.
