LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY MI 1857

House of Commons, to say nothing of the Lords.
Why then delay that which sooner or later must
be attempted, for a vacillating course, that cau
only weaken the position, and render the proceed-
ing more amenable to adverse criticism ? The
question has not been ventilated during the pre--
sent Parliament, and the sooner that objection be
removed the better for all parties concerned.

HANOVER-WARE Rooms. Last evening, Signer
Guieeppa Operti gave his annual vocal and instrumental
concert in the above-named rooms. The attendance was
batter than could be expected at this time of the year,
and was all that could be desired, both in numbers and
respectability. The fair sex mustered in the greater
proportion, showing, thereby, a total disregard fer the
warmth and inconvenience of a heated assembly, at the
hottest part of the season, and a desire to enjoy the
works of eminent composers, at any hazard. The con-
cert was in itself a rich and welt-selected banquet of
mas'c, containing gems of the pure and beautiful works
of Donizet!i and Verdi. A remarkable feature of the
entertainment was the presentation of a new opera called
" Andrea Pesani," the muele of which was by Signor G.
Operti, and the words by Signor S Renfredo Mazzioni.
The novelty was well received, and met with merited
success. Any attempt to affordremarkal. la specimen
of progress in the art of c reep9sition should be hailed
with pleasure, especially when it evidences a refinement
of taste. Among the vocalists were—Madame Sanviile,
Maclaine Desprey, Miss Clarissa (a pupil of Signor G.
Operti, and a very promising young artiste), Madame
Newton Frodsham, Madame Russelli, Madame Ballosio,
Ma'llle. Martinetti, Signor Grossi, Signor Sabastien
Crockaert, Signor Annoni, and Signor Mazzioritti. The
orchestra and choruses were complete and satisfactory iu
their effect. A terz,tto in Verdes opera of "I L
bardi," was well sung by Signor Enrico Grosei, Signor
Sebastien Crockaert, and Madame Sanville, and was
loudly applauded. An aria in the. opera of " Traviata," ;
by Signor Monari, wee deserving of notice ; but the
piece that seemed to have delighted most was a duetto
—" Elisir Wetmore," by Donizetti, and beautifully
sung by Madame Sanville and Signor Grassi. Madame
Sanville displayed a great compaee and flexibili y of
voice in the executi,n of her pert of the duetto, but
Signor Grossi gave greater tokens of strength and vigour
than of taste and refinement. The whole concert passed
off satisfactorily.
HERR REICIIARDT.—One of the most recherelce con-
certs of the season was given yesterday by Herr
Reichardt at the Dudley Gallery, by permission of Lord
Ward. This celebrated tenor was assisted by several of
the most distinguished artistes, including Mesdames
17galde, Mare-Auer, Mdlle. Westerstrand, Molique
Piatti, Benedict, Osborne, T,desco, Belletti, Jules
Lefort, &c. Several beautiful compositions of Dr. H,
Mareshner were performed, both vocal and instrumental.
the gem of the concert being a charming song, " Der
Kuss," which was given by flerr Reichardt with such
exquisite taste and expression, that it was encored una-
nimously. Dr. H. Marcshner's performance op the
piano was remarkable for genuine artistic feeling and
classical reading.
In ordinary course the next telegraphic intelligence
from India would not be expected before Monday, the
26th inst., but as every effort will be made for speed it
will doubtless be hoped for next week. In official
quarters an impression seems to be entertained that in
gee of the taking of Delhi a special steamer will
probably have been despatched, and therefore it is
possible that further accounts may be received at any
hour. It Is also to be remarked that if the Governor of
Malta should adopt the same plan as on the last occasion,
and transmit the arivices to Cagliari, to be forwarded by
the Sardinian line of telegraph, the Government may
obtain them considerably in anticipation of the general
public. In such case it is much to be desired that they
should be made known as soon as possible in some
regular and authorized manner. A strong suspicion is
entertained that the main points of those last received
were in the hands of speculators for au entire day before
they were properly published, It may be assumed that
the heads of the Government act with discretion on such
occasions, but when striking political news has become
known to any three or four persons and their immediate
attendants absolute secrecy is out of the question. More-
over, in the present instance it is difficult to understand
what what object can be served by concealing facts which
in
the course of 48 hours will become known to all the
world through other channels.—Times' City Article.
MINES.—The increase of business in Great Alfred

LATEST NEWS,

FRANCF.
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.
The funeral of B6ranger, the poet, took place to-
day at noon.
The relig,ious ceremony was performed in the
Church of St. Elizabeth, in the Temple. The re-
mains were then buried at Pere la Chaise.

At 12 o'clock precisely all the persons specially
invited were assembled at the house of the poet in
the Rue Vendome, and the cortege set out soon
afterwards for the church. A magnificent hearse,
adorned with branches of oak, of laurel, and crowns
of immortelles, bore the remains of the pee'. The
chief Mourners were MM. Benjamin Antin, Perro-
tin (his publisher), Prospero Vernet, Professor of
Law at Toulouse ; a sub-officer of the Ist Regiment
of Artillery, nearly related to Beranger, and a
compositor, employed at the Imprimerie lm-
pedalo of Paris, said to be distantly related to
him. One of the Emperor's carriages and
nine mourning coaches immediately followed the
hearse The Parisian press had also its repre-
sentatives on the occasion. The mounted guards
of Paris, with their colonel at their head, opened
the procession, and rode on both sides of the
hearse. The infantry of the same force closed it
with their arms reversed, and three regiments of
infantry were drawn up in line, and extended from
this Rue Vendome to the Church of St. Elizabeth.
The hearse reached the church at a quarter-past
12. The exterior of the building was covered with
black cloth, which displayed shields inscribed with
the initials of the poet. The interior worealso the
same sable hangings from the floor to the freizes.
A. border of white stars ran round the nave.
Shields, with the initials, and large crowns formed
of immortelles, were alternately placed on the dra-
pery. At the extremity of the nave, close by the
high altar, rose a magnificent catafalque, displaying
tears wrought in silver, and encircled by lamps and
lighted tapers. The cure of the church, with his
clergy, received thebody at the entrance, and followed
it in procession to the catafalque in the nave. The
united choirs of the Madeleine and St. Elizabeth
chanted the mass for the dead and the Dies irce,
accompanied by the organ. When the absolution
was delivered the remains were reconducted by the
officiating clergy to the hearse at the door ; and
then the cortege set out for the cemetary of Pere-la-
Chaise. On issuing from the church it descended
the Rue du Temple to the Rue de Bretagne. It
passed down this street, as also that of the Filles-du-
Calvain as far as the Boulevard, which it crossed
and entered the Rue Menilmontant. In all this

direction the same vast crowds of people might be
observed; and the cries of "ilonneur a Beranger,"
were repeated during the whole passage, from the
Rue St. Elizabeth to the Cemetery. I have not
heard of the slightest symptom of disorder having
occurred. The only moment of confusion was
when the cavalry checked the advance of the
crowd as the body issued from the Church. It
lasted but a short time, and, with the exception
of the streets through which the procession pebAsed,
the circulation was free. At the entrance of

the Cemetery a crowd, as great as that in the
neighbourhood of the church, covered the outer
boulevards, an I were evidently waiting for hours
before the arrival of the remains.
The remains were deposited in a vault, over
which a handsome monument, at the Emperor's
expense, it is said, will be raised to thu memory of
Beranger. In complance with the express will of
the poet, no discourse was pronounced over his
• urave Those who formed the cortee, the multi-
,'
tuile that witnessed or followed it, and the large
body of troops that performed the double duty of
maintaining tranquillity and honouring Beranger,
retired in order.
The crowd, which was immense, separated in
the most perfect order.
The following telegraphic despatches have 11-32,n
received here to-day :
" MARSEILLES, July 16, ALGIERS, 14.—The Gover-
nor-General has sent a despatch declaring that on the
11th, by a combined movement, the divisions Henault,
MacNlahon, Massiat, and Jusuf, occupied simultaneously
the whole of the territory known by the name of Deil-
loul-Beni-Touraghiwitt. The troops, with admirable
spirit, &imbed up to retreats deemed inaccessible. The
French flag floats over the highest point of the Djurd-
jura."
"TRIESTE, July 16.—Letters from Constantinople, of
the 10th, state that a proposition having for object to
establish a thorough understanding among all the powers
relative to the principalities had failed. Gen. Bariatineki
had proceeded to Tiflis leaving Melikoff at Teheran to
continue the negotiations entered on."
