ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA CONCERTS.
•
• The SEASON will COMMENCE on FRIDAY, the Ist of
May, with a Grand Morning Concert by the artistes of the
Royal Italian Opera. These Concerts having been honoured
last year by such general approbation, the Directors have en.
tered into arrangements with Mr. Gye to give a similar Series
of Twelve Concerts during the present season.
These Concerts will be supported by the following cele-
brated artistes :—Madame Grisi, Mademoiselle Rosa Devries,
Madenioiselle Marai, Mademoiselle D:diee, Mademoiselle,
Parepa, and Madame Bosio ; Signor Mario, Signor Ronconi,
Signor Neri-Baraldi, Signor Gardoni, Hgnor Graziauii Herr
Formes, Signor Taggiafico; Monsieur Zegler, Signor Polonini,
and "Signor Lablache.
The Grand Orchestra of the Royal Italian Opera, with ad-
ditional performers, and also the celebrated Chorus, are en-
gaged for the whole series.
The musical direction of the whole is in the hands of Mr.
Costa, who will himself conduct a portion of the Concerts.
With the above assemblage of artistes, it is hardly neces-
sary for the Directors to state that the performances will be of
the highest class, and capable-of very great variety.
The Concerts will take place on the following Fridays, viz:
—May 1,8, 15, 22, and 29 ; June 5 and 26 ; July 3, 10, 17,
24, and 31.
The space allotted to the Concert Room last year (extensive
as it was) having been found inadequate to accommodate the
audiences, the Directors have this season determined to give
the Concerts in the Great Transept.
The Two Guinea Season Tickets will also be available for
these Concerts. Transferable tickets will also be issued for
each Concert at 7s. 6d. each ; which tickets can be obtained
at the Company's offices, or of any of the agents.
In compliance with a desire which was universally expressed

apart, which may be taken for the series of 12 concerts at one
guinea each stall, or at half-a-crown each for a single concert.
11. CONCERT OF THE COLOGNE CHORAL UNION.

this Concert.

171. GENERAL ARRANGEMENTS OF THE BUILDING.
EXHIBITIONS OF PICTURES.—The. Picture Gallery, formed
during the past year in the North Wing of the Palace, has
proved so successful in its capabilities for the effective dis-
play of paintings, that it is the intention of the Directors to,
hold therein, during the present season, Two Exhibitions of
the' Works of Living Painters of all Schools.
The first of these Exhibitions will open in May, and con-
thiue open during the Summer.
The Second will be a Winter Exhibition.

Portion of the Picture Gallery from time to time during the
flesaon.
enema COURT.—The Directors are desirous to take the
present opportunity of expressing their acknowledgments for
the kind and ready maner in which their requests for loans
for the Ceramic Court were responded to by the owners of
Collee ions of Porcelain and Pottery of the most rare, fragile.
and valuable descriptions.
It is very gratifying to the Directors ,to be able to say that
the further aid offered them is such as will enable them to
Continue the Ceramid Court, for the present season, with a
number of additional specimens, exemplifying the capabilities
of the art in its most elaborate branches.

Of Mr. Thomas Battam, F. S.A.
INDIAN COURT AND GALLERY OF ENGINEERING MODELS.--11l each of these departments the Directors ha4e to acknowledge
assistance of the same gratifying nature as that in the Cera-
reit Court. By public companies and institutions, as well as
by private individuals, the Directors have been entrusted
with the most valuable and beautiful models, with costly
carvings and works in ivory and bronze fabrics and works of
art, granted with a liberality and readiness for which they
cannot sufficiently express their obligations. They have thus
been enabled materially to improve the Indian Court, and
also to form a collection of models of engineering works, illus-
trating in a very complete manner that great branch of
tish skill and enterprise, surpassing any other now accessible
to the public. It will give the Directors great pleasure to
receive any further contributions with which they may be
favoured.

tion in the First and Second Galleries of the North Transept,

ture and navigation during a period of 340 years. It also
contains specimens of new inventions connected with the im-
provement of nsvigation.
' The Directors beg here also to acknowledge the ready and
extensive assistance which they have received from shipown-

ing this very interesting and national collection, and at the
Woo time solicit the further aid of all parties who may have
the means of extending it.

he essential object of thin treatise is to point nut the fearful con-
sermences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, pe'rhaps, any
other class of dis age known to modorn pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly rtcommendel to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their phys crl ecndition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.

It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated with-
out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc-
ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physictl infirmity or functional
derangement to whirls the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

THEFT BY A POLICKMAN.—On Friday, at the Edin-
burgh poiioe•court, Robert Whitehead, a person lately

intoxication in the street. lie was sentenced to 60 days'.

COCK-FIGHTS IN •LIVERPOO4—At the police-court, on
Saturday. before Mr. R. Sheil, Mr. James Clarke, pub-
lican, of Houghton-street, was summoned for permitting
the construction of a cock-pit in his house, and allowing
cock-fighting, on Wednesday last. Inspector Tomlinson
stated that, about half-past 1 o'clock in the afternoon
of that day, he went into the defendant's house, and on
going up stairs he found one of the rooms crowded by
about 100 persons assembled round a "cock-pit" built
of sods, and two combatants already engaged. On his
entering the room the spectators made a rush down stairs,
and the officer captured the two contending birds, and
five others which were in full trim, ready for other en-
counters. Mr. Daggers, attorney, defended Clarke,
contending that he was justified in what he had done by
the time-honoured custom of cock-fights in Easter, and
that the humbler classes had as much right to prosecute
ther games and pastimes as those in more favoured
walks of life. This argument diet not influence the
bench, who fined the defendant 51. and costs. The
game-cocks remain in the possession of Mr. Superin-
tendent Clough, who will not give them up until the
owners claim them.—Liverpool Albion.

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Courier and Enquirer states tha the q Ties ion Of the
reinforcement of the United States' squadron in
the East was still under consideration by the Cabi-
net, an I it was believed that a very, imposing fleet
will soin. be gathered there. It was probable that,
in addition to several large steamers and sailing
vessels, all the sloops-of-war available from their
light draught for that srvice had already been or-
-dered to the coast of China. It w.is likely that
Commodore Perry would be appointed to the,
general command.
In another communication the correspondent of
the same journal says :—" It is understood that
the Government has settled upon a line of p Aicy
to be pursued in regard to China affa'rs,,, and that
in very recent conferences between the Secretary
.of State and the British Ministrr latter" has
expressed his entire satisfaction with the course
which is to be pursued. The American merchants,
Mr. Forbes, Mr. Appleton, and o:hsrs interested
in the China trade, have also, after receiving expla-
nations from the Government, become convinced
that it is neither politic nor necessary that we
should co-operate with. the Western Powers in their
proposed crusade against China, and their joint
efforts to extinguish or limit Russian ascendancy
in that quarter ; but that the Government will se-
cure every important or desirable end by taking
measures for the protes;tion of the persons arid pro-
perty: of our citizens, and for the enforcement of
the privileges which are secured to us by the
existing treaty, acting independently of any
alliance with Powers engaged in hostilities
against China. The Government will aug-
ment the naval force in the China Seas, and send as
an Envoy to China some man of high political.stand.
ing and character, who will be instructed to rever

to the aid of the naval force, in case of hostile pro-
ceedings against our citizens. The Envoy will also
be instructed to procure some modifications of the
treaty and an improvement of our commercial ra-
. _ __. .

latious with China. It will be obserVed that the
United States is at peace with the Chinese empire,
and that we have no motive for waging war against
it, eitl.er single-handed or in alliance with England
and France."

The accounts from Nicaragua received by the
Arago at Southampton do not appear to be reliable,
those by the present mail tending to show that
Walker was in greatdanger. The New York Tri-
bune gives credence to the following statement :
" On Saturday we had an interview with a gen-
tleman who came as a passenger in the steamer
Texas, and from whom we obtained the latest in-
telligence from the seat of war in Nicaragua. Our
informant is an intelligent native of Nicaragua,
who owns a large hacienda near Rivas. He was
among the first to espouse Walker's cause, to which
he remained true until he discovered that Walker,
instead of being a Liberator, was but a potty chief
at the head of a banditti. On the 18th of March,
our informant left Virgin Bay in the steamer San
Carlos, and crossed the lake to Fort San Carlos,
at the head of the San Juan River, which point
was held by a strong force of Costa Ricans. At
Fort San Carlos be was joined by a,Costa Rican
priest and a soldier, and there embarked in a
canoe for GreytOwn. To pass Castillo they
were compelled to carry their canoe by the road
around the rapids, to avoid the danger of crossing
the rapids. Castillo they passed without difficulty,
they being known to the Costa Rican forces • and
they flo ited to a point above Sarapiqui, which is
held by the Fillibusters under Lockridge, about
dusk. Here tney tilled the canoe nearly full of
water, to give it the appearance of a log of wood,
and throwing themselves in the river on the side
of the canoe opposite the fort, were enabled to float
by undiscover,id. They reached Glaeyt.)wn in time
to take passage in the Texas for Aspinwall, where
the priest and soldier left for Costa Rica: Our in-
formant had been in General Canas's camp, at
Virgin Barand St. George, several days previous'
to his departure on the 18th. At that time it was
not known where Walker and his men were. A
few days previously, finding themselves in a starv-:
ing condition, being cut off horn. obtaining supplies!
by the scouting parties of the Costa Ricans, Walker
had evacuated Rivas, with the intention of forcing
his way, if possible, to Rosario—a point about
seven miles from Sau Juan del Sur, where he hoped
at least to find food for his men. This movement
was observed by the Costa Rican scouts, who fell
back upon the main body of the allied forces. The
allies at once marched to intercept Walker, who,.
hearing that they were advancing, made an ineffec-'
tual attempt to reach Rivas. ill the meantime a'
guerilla party of Costa Ricans-10 of whom are con-
stantly moving along the transit road to fire upon
the small parties of Walker's men who are sent out
to obtain supplies, and to intercept the recruits
from California-I—having discovered that Walker
had left Rivas, entered the town, and, either by ac-.
cident or design, the remaining part of the city
was set on fire. The opinion of the allies at Virgin
Bay when our informant left was that the Fdlibus-
ters were making a desperate struggle to reach the
coast to provide for the safety of Walker, by send-
ing him out of the country. A correspondence had
taken place betwel•n Walker and Gen. Canas, which
fact has been tortured into a foundation for the
statement that °alma was ready to acknowledge
Walker's rule. The facts of this correspondence our
informant states to be that Walker had opened a
correspondence with Gen. Callas, in which the Fil-
libustera proposed to surrender, provided they would
be permitted to leave the country. General Canas
stated that he would accept their surrender, and
give passports to the whole force, with the excep-
tion of Walker himself, whom ho intended to deli-
ver up to the authorities of Costa Rica. This offer
Walker's adherents refused to accept, and their
efforts to reach the coast are undoubtedly with the
view of providing for the safety of their leader.
Should he reach San Juan del Sur, he would prob-
ably leave the country in the little schooner which
Captain Fayssoux abandoned, unless Gen. Bosquet
should arrive with the forCe of 1,000 Costs Ricans,
which our Panama correspondent sated was ex-
pected to reach that port on the 21st of March.
The officers'of the American vessel of war at San.
Juan del Sur interested themselves in favour of
Walker and his men with Gen. Canas, who replied
that he would pay the expenses of the whole force
to the United States, except Walker him=elf,
who must be delivered up. The reported
battle aed victory on thel6th our informant states
to be entirely without foundation in truth,"
The _Rome Sentinel states that on the 2d the
ferry-boat between Cape Vincent and Kingston
(Canada) was partially capsized by arush of passen-
gers to the bow, and out of 15 or 20 only two per-
sons escaped. The rest were droWned.
The Baltimore Repuulican gives an account of an
extraordinary and fatal duel which occurred at
Winston (Maryland). The parties were fastened
down by their trousers to a two inch oak plank,
and fought with bowie-knives. " They fought,"
says the liepublican, "until Drain was mortally
wounded. Young Pendleton was cut' nearly in
pieces, and now lies in a critical position. Part of
Pendleton's knife is still in Drain's head. There .is
no hope of his recovery. The doctors think they
will both die. Drain was 22, and Pendleton 19."
On the 6th snow fell at Buffalo, Cincinnati,
Louisville, end Nashville.

" Sir,—l have the honour to place in your bands a
copy of a despatch addressed to me by the Earl of Cla-
rendon, in which his lordship expreeses his high sense of
the humane and devoted conduct manifested by the crew
of an American lifeboat in the rescue of the British bark
Tasso, of St. John's, Newfoundland. On this occasion
it is to be deeply lamented that two of the boatmen
perished, as well as four seamen belonging to the ship.
"Mr. Fowler, acting British Vice• Consul at New
York, has been authorised to convey to the widow of
John Jones, one of the American sufferers, a pecuniary
donation of 501., as a mark of the Sympathy of her Ma-
jesty's Government, and a subscription having been set
afoot, which has resulted in the collection of a sum of
money sufficient to purchase a small house and farm, it
is hoped the widow may find, in a mere material point
of view, some compensation for the loss of that support
which she derived from the labour of her deceased
husband.

the boatmen who unfortunately perished, named John
Jones, left a largeramily ; and they have instructed Mr.
Fowlerto make a pecuniary donation to his widow, as a
mark of the sympathy of the British- Government, and of
their approbation of her husband's conduct. The other
boatman who was drowned, John Parker, is understood to
have left no family ; but her Majesty's Government have li

Advices from Havannah to the 3d inst. state that
General Concha had issued a decree revoking the
certificates. of protection ordered to be issued to
slaves as being insufficient in curtailing the traffic. Two New York vessels had been sold as slavers.
There was a sufficient number of vessels in the port
to carry away the whole of the sugar crop. The
stock of sugar at Havannah and 11 was
210,000 boxes, and the market remained firm at last
quotations. Two Dutch ships, with 700 coolies on
board, had arrived at Havannah. There had been
copious rains throughout the
On the evening of the 6th the New York Stock
Market was heavy, notwithstanding the increased
facilities for roans through the banks. The rates
for money at the note brokers were 9 per cent. for
prime endorsed paper, 10 to 12 per cent. for well-
known single names. The bank statement fur the
eveek showed an increased movement in leans and
deposits. Foreign exchange was firm at 108 a to
1081 for good, to prime bills on London, most
drawers asking 109 ; 5 231 to 5 21.-1 fur Paris.
The advices by the Asia respecting cotton created
disappointment among speculators, but the market
was firm, although less active. Mr. W. P Wright,
in his circular, says :
" Our domestic consumers have operatO most libe-
rally during the week ending yesterday, and very ex-
treme prices have been paid for suitable parcels. Ex-
porters have also participated, and the total sales I esti-
mate at 8,000 bales. The export-for the week has been—
to Liverpool, 3,395; Bremen, 675 ; Hamburg, 1,022 ;
Riga, 421 ; Antwerp, 428 ; total, 5,641 bale-t. Cotton
in transits has been in fair demand at the quotations of
last week. The quantity on sale is very much reduced
and holders are very firm in demanaing outside rates.
The southern markets continua to advance, with a fair
amount of business in each. The quantity of cotton for
sale,in Savannah and Charleston is so much reduced
that the business may be considered as closed. In Mo-
bile and New Orleans the season is drawing rapidly to
an end, and the buyers are preparing to leave at an.
early day. The accounts from the South received during
the past week fully confirm the conclusion that the crop
will result in lees than 3,000,000 bales, and this e.ti-
mate is now fully established here and in the South. We
have been visited with a few days'cold weather, and it
has extended some distance in the South, but whether it
has been sufficiently severe to make replanting necessary
we have yet to learn. On the 17th of March a frost oc-
curred in Texas, which checked vegetation. The public
mind is very sensitive just now on the subject of the
coming crop. Receipts at the ports c eatinue to fall off
rapidly, and are during the week under review less
,than
half as compared with the corresponding week -of: last
year. By telegraph we learn that a further reduction
will be shown next week. The total deficit is now
289,000 bales, and next week it will probably exceed
330,000 bales."
