obtained to the above cause, the names of the Earl of
Aberdeen, Lord Cornwallis, Mr. Cobden, M.P., Mr.
Cubitt, M.P.,
the Earl of Denbigh, the Marquis of

ALP have been received as patrons, with their very

snre.—l am Sir, Yours faithfully,
JOHN DOWNES, Hon. Sec.
Committee-rooms, Belvidere Hotel, rentonville,
London, July n, 1850.
On 'Wednesday morning, Mr. John Barber, the
registrar of coal-whippers of the port of London,
waited upon Mr. Gladstooe, M.P., with 101., col-
lected in
pence, the subscription of the registered
coal-whippers towards raising a fund for defray-
ing the expenses of a national monument to
the memory of Sir Robert Peel. Every
registered coal-whipper gave his penny ss a
token
of gratitude for the services rendered to the
country by the late gifted statesman, who had ena-
bled them to obtain cheap bread. Mr.,Gladstone re-
ceived the penny subscriptions of the coal-whippers
with much plensure, and assured Mr. Barber he
should not fail to name the subject at the general
meeting to be held at the London Tavern.

IMPROVED ORDER OF 01.. D FRIENDS.—On Mon-
day lait the anniversary of this social and provident body was
celebrated at the Copenhagen Liouse, Islington, when a very
numerous party of the members and their friends sat down
to a splendid dinner, WhiCh reflected great credit to Mr.
Garratt, the worthy host, and gave much satisfaction.
Brady, Esq., presided as chairman, and was supported by
some of the most influential members of the order. Alter the
cloth was withdrawn, and the customary loyal toasts had
been given, the Chairman gave " Prosperity to the Improved
Order of Old Friends," which was received with much cheer-
ing. Then followed "The Memory of Sir Robert Peel,"
drunk with silence. Afterwards the Chairman, in a few but
appropriate words, proposed "The Metropolitan Benefit Socie-
ties Asylum,' which drew from Mr. w. J. Cole some
lengthened observations, which wereplistened to with much
attention, and at their close elicited 'great,applause: lime
company then adjourned to the beautiful gardens until
the evening, when a ball took place, and was attended by.a
large assemblage of ladies. The greatest conviviality and
god feeling was kept up till a late hour.
William Penn and Thomas Story once sheltered
themselves from a shower of rain in a tobacco-house, the
owner of which said to them, .' You enter without leave.
Do you know who I am? lam a justice of the peace." To
which Story replied, " My friend, here, makes such things as
thee—he is Governor of Pennsylvania."

TIED MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
The reprise of La Tempestcl, and the only appear
ante on the stage of Madame 1 ; such were the
announcements of the programnn3 for last even-
ing at her Majesty's Theatre, and the
crowd at the doors, the crush to get in, and
the cram when in, fully equalled the crush,
the crowd, and the cram of the most crowded of
the Jenny Lind nights. Every portion of the theatre
in which it was possible to hear the music was oc-
cupied before the rising of the curtain, and we are
certain that there must have been many who, from
the crowded state of the house, could not have
had a glimpse of the stage during the whole
evening. Carlotta Grid, whose engagement termi-
nated a few evenings since, in consequence of which
the run of 'La Tempests wxs interrupted, has been
persuaded to renew it for the remainder of the season.
Last night was the commencement of her re-engage-
ment, and never dad she appear more lively, more airy,
more graceful, more fascinating, more Ar e'-like, i i a
ord, than she did la,t evening. Sontag was in ex.
cellcht voice, and sangthe anu-ic of Iklirenda with a
fate-lake sweetness, and with an accuracy of intona-
tion, and a brilliancy of execution, that has newer
be; approaclod. Lablache was as wonderful
tag ever as Caliban, and Parodi sanethe
Lrindi)i with a gusto and an abandon
that secured for her an enthusiastic encore. The
several performers, chorus. singers, and musicians are
now well up in their respective parts, end the opera
acts as close as possible. L was performed last
night in a manner that may, wtthout exag-
geration, be designated as absolutely per-
fect, and the enthusiastic applause which it
elicitei proved that its popularity is still on the in-
crease. All the artistes were frequently called fur
during the course of the performance. After the
opera there was a divertissement, in which Amalie
Ferraris excited a perftct furore by the
performance of her terpsichorean wonders.
and then came the grand event of the evening, the
re .appearance, for one night only, of Madame Pasta,
in the scene of her former triumphs. We had been
prepared to make great allowances for the ravages
which time must, as we imagined, have made in the
person:and in the voice of the,Queen of Lyric Tragedy,
but there was no need of such allowances, time has
dealt kindly by Madame Pasta, the majestic form is
as queen-like as ever, the features still retain their
mobility and expression, and are still the obedient expo-
nents ofthe inspiration of genius ; it is in the voice alone
that the ravages of time are perceptible, and eventhe
voice has not suffered to the extent to which •it might
naturally have been expected it would have suffered.
A diminution of power in the upper notes, and a conse-
guent defect of intonation whenever the voice
is forced, is the only perceptible defect ;
but the middle and low notes are as rich, as expres-
sive, as effective as ever. The scenes chosen for her
appearance were the prison scene in Anna Bolena
and the finale to the opera. Never have we
seen anything more majestically pathetic than ber
acting in those scenes. There is no one
on the stage who ever has approached, or who can
even now approach, her in the expression of queen-
like dignity and lofty majesty; the recitative was
rendered with a power that reminded one of the
Madame Pasta of former days; and, making allowance
for the defect of intonation in the upper notes,
the vocalization was wonderful. The Anna Bolena
of Madame Pasta, considered as a histrionic perform-
ance, was the most perfect example of lofty and
tragic conception perfectly carried out that
we have ever seen—it was unapproachable m
its excellence. She was admirably supported by her
favourite pupil, Madlle. Parodi, upon whom her
mantle has descended, and who sustained the part of
Jane Seymour. The applause was enthusiastic
throughout. Madame Pasta was twice recalled,
and retired loaded_ with bouquets. The house was
crowded.

Amongst the distinguished visitors were—the Duke of
Devonshire, the Duke and Duchess of Cleveland and
Lady Augusta Poulet, the Prince Troubetzkoi, his
Excellency the Russian Minister, the Baroness Bra.

DIRECT BIRMINGHAM, OXFORD, READING, AND
BRIGHTON RAILWAT.—On Tuesday, the 9th, and Thursday,
the Uth inst., Master Brougham proceeded, under the Wind-

ing. up Acts, to settle the list of contributories in this com-
pany as far as respected the defaulting allotteea. The list of
this class, prepared by the official manager, Mr. James Hut-
ton, comprised upwards of 2,500 individuals, and the Master
appointed 500 cases for hearing cn each of these days, and it
being conidered inconvenient to bring such a large number
of persons to the chambers of the Master in Southampton-
buildings, leave was obtained to sit on the days appointed in
the court of thetiice-Chancellor, Sir James Wigram,

Lincoln's Inn. This is the firs instance of the piaster in

Chancery sitting in this court under the Winding tin Acts.
The cases presented the g.neral features of the railway allot-
ments at the period of October, 1845, when the panic took
place ; out of a very large amount of shares allotted the de-
posits of scarcely one-twentieth part were paid, and the allot-
tees of the remainder it was now sought, by the operation of
the I‘ inding-up Act, to make liable to contribute towards the
expenses incurred in the formation of the company. On
Tuesday the Master settled 300 eases, and on Thursday he
succeeded in disposing of 500 more ; the remainder of the list
will be proceeded with on Saturday, the 13th, and en the
18th, 19th, and 20th.

LOSS BY FIRE of THE AMERICAN STEAMER
GRIFFITH, AND DREATWUL Loss OF LIFE.--We regret
to state that accounts have arrived in England of
the total loss by fire of the American Steamer
Griffith in Lake Erie on the 16th of last month,
with a large party of British emigrants on board,
the lives of most of whom fell a prey to the devouring ele-
ments of fire and water. It appears that the W ellesden
American emigrant ship left London en the 7th of May with
emigrants, principally hum Cambridgeshire and the adjoin-
ing counties, and after one of the quickest voyages on record,
reached New York on the 26th of that month. Upwards of
200 of the emigrants proceeded up the Hudson River and
reached Lake Erie on the 14th June. They then engaged a
passage across the Lake in the Griffith steamer, and at about
three A.M. on the 16th, when they had reached within thirty
miles of their destination, a fire broke out in the stern of the
ship which baffled all the efforts of the crew and the emigrants
to subdue it. The captain then made an effort to run the
ship ashore, which, as far as the security of the lives of the
passengers was concerned, was favoured by the wind keeping
the flames clear of the head of the vessel, and enabling the
bulk of the passengers to take shelter there. The vessel had
reached within half a mile of the shore, when it struck on a
sand-bank, having nine feet of water upon it. The entire
ship became instantly enveloped in flatnes, and as the only
remaining hope of escape such of the passengers and crewas had
not been burnt, were obliged to leap overtamrd. Some few
reached the shore, but the rest met with a watery grave.
The numbers lost have been variously stated at from 150 to
200. Of thirty persons from a village near Ely (Len, women
and children), only three were saved. One person lost his
wife, two children, and his mother, and has sent an Account
of the melancholy disaster to his friends in England.
THE MONEY-TAKERS IN THE CHURCHES. —...• A
visitor to Stratford-on-Avon Church and Shakspere's Tool)
complains that although " the • living ' is a much mor.‘
lucrative one than that of thousands of working and learned
clergymen," the parish clerk is allowed to extract sixpence
each as his demanded charge from visitors to the church,
under pretence that " he receives no salary or other emolu-
ment." The complainant suggests that the exhibitor" ought
at least to follow the example of other showmen by admitting
children at half-price, and taking the money at the door
before the exhibition commences." He should be thankful,
however, that in the exhibition of the real tomb of so no-
torious a character as Shakspere, in so interesting a church
as Stratford-on-Avon, he was subjected to "no extra charge"
whatever, such as Madame Tipsaud would undoubtedly have
exacted, on the Chamber of Horrors principle, could she
have got hold of the genuine article before she went herself,
poor lady, " down among the dead men." As to half-
ti price,
we do not believe that even in the great twopenny. exhib
of St. Paul's, children have any such privilege. hy shoUld
they have it at Stratford-on-Avon,"therefore, since the great
central model establishment looks so respectfully down upon
the ris ng generation as but so many little men and women,
even though all at the "small charge el twopence"overhead ?
