GERMANY.
The Reiner Zeitung has a telegraphic despatch,
dated Berlin, June 26, stating that the semi-official
papers announce, on undoubted authority, that Lord
Palmerston, in an official note, and also in a confi-
dential communication to the Prussian Cabinet, has
done everything in his power to obviate any further
consequences that might arise out of Lord Brougham's
late rude behaviour towards the Chevalier Bunsen.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The Prvphete was performed here last evening for
the rentree of Madame Viardot, whose Fides has lost
none of its immense power since last season. It is one
of the finest displays of histrionic power on the lyric
stage. Madame Castelien appeared for the first time
in this country as Bertha (a character she created in
Paris), and sang and acted with exquisite grace. Mario,
as the Prophet, was as perfect as ever, and Formes
added immensely to the strength of the cast by his
energetic delineation of Zsccherias.! This opera was
magnificently put upon the stage. The house was very
well attended.
London, England, 1850-06-21

MERCHANT SEAMEN'S FUND BILL.

Mr. GLADSTONE moved that the House should go
into Committee pro forma on this BUJ, which was
agreed to.

On the proposition that it be committel on the 4th
of July,
Mr. GLADSTONE hoFe I the Bill would pass this
session. In order that it might pass, they should have a
morning sitting.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM: ,wialied to know, when the
matter of the fund was settled, what they would do
then? There could be no question that the debt should
be paid, but he thought the principle of the Bill er-
roneous.

Mr. AGLIONBY wishei to know whether the object
of the postponement was biniply for the purpose of delay,
or with the intention of nbtindoning the Bill, in order to
bring in another m:.xt session? Lie thought the qt.o s-
Lion ought to be put at rest.
Mr. LABoueIIERE said he would not abandon the
hope that the Howe would decide on the question this
session, but, as an individual member uf the Uoverninent,
he could not undertake ti give a pledge to that ciTect.
The Bill IV then ordered to be recommitted the 4th
July next.

MARGATE AND RAMSGATE HARBOURS.

Air. MACKINNON having nominated his Committee
on Margate and Itamsgate harbours,
Mr. MOFFAT!' moved that it be an instruction to
the Select Committee to include the harbour of Dover.

DEEDES objccte4 to the motion.
.Mr. RICO said the inquiry would only be a waste of
time, and would be attenued with no useful results.
Sir GEORGE GREY said it would be better to con-
fine the inquiry as at first proposed.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

On the motion of Mr. TUFNELL, it was ag7eed that
the House at its rising should adjourn till Monday.
NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.

Mr. HUME wished to ask what were the instructions
given to the Committee lately appointed to consider of
the progress of the new Houses of Parliament, with re-
ference to the providing of better accommodation for
Members of Parliament in the House of Lords. At
present there were only 34 seats, and he thought it was
perfectly impossible to go on from year to year in such
a state.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that no instructions had bee❑ given on that point.
LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) BILL.
In reply to a question from Mr. ROCHE,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he could not at present
fix a day for taking this Bill, though he certainly did
mean to proceed with it this session.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert honoured the per-
formance of La Tempesta with their presence last
evening, and seemed highly delighted both with the
opera itself and with the manner in which it was put
on the stage. Her Majesty during the course of the
performance frequently applauded Madame Sontag, Mdlle.
Carlotta Grisi, and Lablache, and seemed exceedingly
amused by the "ponderous levities" of the latter in his
saltatory performacce at the close of the second act.
The Nepaulese Ambassador and suite occupied the box
next to her Majesty. The house was crowded in every
part, and as it was the night of the drawing-room, and
the greater number of the ladies who had been present
at the drawing-room were at her Majesty's Theatre in
the evening, the coup d'ffil presented by the audience
part of the house was brilliant in the extreme.

[Tae following appeared in our Fourth Edition of
last night :—]

FRANCE.

The Independence of Brussels publishes the follow-
ing from its Paris correspondent :—" The ell-absorb-
ing qu4stion is still and more than ever that of the
dotation. The President says nothing; hut, to
make up fur his silence, those by whom he is
surrounded speak for him. It is sail, at the
Elysee, that the Prince has only one course
to pursue, singe the majority abandons him, and
that is-Ist, to choose a blue Ministry ; 2, to ze7e_Tt
the resignation of General Changarnier, and to re-
place him by an insignificant but devoted person ;
31, to go forward. As the prudent appear to
doubt the majority, the bold reply that, in
case of refusal of co-operation, it must he
got rid of by making an appeal to the country. Dif-
ficulties are far from being smoothel down, but
hope is not yet lost. I em guarantee you
the following fact :—King Louis Philippe warmly
and loudly blames the conduct of the Conservative
party in this affair. He sees nothing in it but an in-
trigue. 'ltis a political absurdity,' he says. The
same quarrel is renewed with the President as took
place on the subject of the dotation of my chil-
dren. Experience is of no avail. The services
which the President renders to society are
forgotten, and a haggle is made with him about his
dotation. They will repent of it.' Since lam
speaking to you of the King Louis Pailippe, I may
rimers
met that his health is much improved. M.
met with a very warm welcome. I will shortly give
you circumstantial and authentic details on the sub-
ject ; in the meantime I will repeat that Louis Philippe
bits positively said that he wishes for a fusion. The
Princes seldom express thole opiision, with the excep-
tion of the Duke de Nemour;, who speaks a little be.
cause he knows that the King likes him to do so.
The Duchess of Orleans is little favourable to the
measure, but she explains herself with reserve, and
with a kind of indecision."

DENMARK.

The Free Press of the North, of the 16th inst.,
says it becomes more and more probable that the
King of DENMAEK seriously contemplates abdicating,
a circumstance which would give the Danish ques-
tion a purely dynastic character. It is a goed sign
that Prince FREDEEICK of Hesse is at Berlin. The
following appears to have some truth :—The
Prince FREDERICK will espouse the daughter
of the Dowager Grand Duchess HELENA, and,
aided by the influence of Russia, will as-
cend the throne of Denmark. The duchies
will submit to the female line, and will obtain several
concessions as to their internal government. Den-
mark will renounce the incorporation of the vi hole of
Schleswig, the north part alone being incorporated.
The south will be united to Holstein, and the KING
will become Duke of SCIILESWIG end HOLSTEIN.

Lord BEAUMONT believed that the Noble Marquis
intended to bring a c'earge egainst 1,1,11 as chairman of
that Committee; and be hoped their Lordships would
permit that Noble Marquis to /7,0 into the charge.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH said that certain
witnesses had been ordered to attend, but that the Noble
Chairman had adjourned the Committee sine die.
Lerd BEAUMONT said that there were two wit-
nesses served, a boy from the union workhouse, and Mr.
Lloyd, one of the Poor-law officials. He had received
a letter stating that Mr. Lloyd was too ill to
attend, he had at the same time been in-
formed that the evidence of two other witnesses
was necessary, and he adjourned that Committee until
Mr. Lloyd should: be able to attend, and until the
two other witnesses should attend; and he did this be-
cause as chairman of the Committee he was not willing
to draw up a report on an erparte statement. He had
therefore adjourned the sitting of the Committee.
Lord BROUGHAM said that the chairman should
have adjourned the Committee to a certain fixed day.
Lord BEAUMONT had given the NoblelMarquis
notice of the adjournment.
Lord BROUGHAM considered there had been a
mistake. The Committee should not have been ad-
journed sine die, but to a certain fixed day.
The Earl of EGLINTON, as.a member of the Com-
mittee had by no means made up his mind as to certain
facts, but he thought the Chairman of that Committee
had no right to adjourn the Committee without con-
sulting the Members, and he thought he kept informa-
tion to himself more than was just to the Members of
the Committee.

Lord BEAUM.ONT declared that he had kept no
communication from the Committee, and he was
not at all biassed in his conduct, he was perfectly indif-
ferent as to the result, and his only object was to do
justice, equal justice to all parties.
Lord REDESDALE thought the Noble Lord should
have given notice to the Committee of his intention to
summon two other witnesses, and have been guided by
the decision of the Committee.

The Marquis of WESTMEATH denied that he had
any information on the matter until he came down to
the House. He moved that the Earl of Mountcashel be
substituted for the Earl of Ripon ou that Committee,
because the Earl of Ripon had been examined.
The Duke of RICHMOND protested against the doc-
trine, that because a Noble Lord had been examined be-
fore the Committee he was not competent to be a mem-
ber of it.

Tke subject then dropped.
DISEASED SHEEP AND CATTLE.

The Duke of RICHMOND brought up the report of
the Committee on this subject, which was ordered to be
laid on the table.

PETITIONS.

The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from
the fishermen of the River Dee, against the Salmon Bill.
The Earl of HARROWBY presented a petition
against the annual grant for public education.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
Afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
;eons than any hith,Tto offered, whereby an individual, hy the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
:tire either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
At his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowin; two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness rind want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Last evening a burlesque, entitled The Enchanted Isle,
was performed at this theatre for the first time. The
piece is not new—having been played last season at the
Adelphi—but the subject being that of Shakspere's
Tempest, some few alterations have been made with a
view to render the burlesque applicable to the operatic
performance at her Majesty's Theatre. The authors of
this production—the brothers Brough—have written a
new prologue, introducing the ghost of Shakspere and a
popular comedian (represented by Buckstone), and
conveying, in the form of a parody upon a scene in
Hamlet, some sarcastic allusions to the joint produc-
tion of Messrs. Scribe and Ilalevy. This prologue
was delivered by Mr. Stuart, and was received with
much favour by the audience. It is quite
unnecessary to mention in detail the various peculiarities
of the piece or to criticise the performances of the actors.
It will be sufficient to say that the cast of characters was
different from that at the Adelphi Theatre, and that the
change was certainly for the better. The principal fea-
ture in the piece was the Ariel of Miss P. Horton, who
it will be recollected formerly sustained the same cha-
racter in Shaltspere's play at Covent-garden Theatre.
The other parts last night were pla)e,i by Mrs. Fitz-
william, Mr. Buckingham, Messrs. Buekstone, Bland,
Selby, and others; and each endeavoured to give humo-
rous effect to the burlesque. Buckstone's Caliban was a
rich piece of drollery, and was the more grotesque from
the absurd contrast it presented to Lablache's perform-
ance of the same part at the Opera House. The piece
was effectively put upon the stage, and was very favour-
ably received.

most inadequate prices, and the result has been that
estates have, in many instances, been sold at seven
or eight years' purchase, and, in some instances,
even at a lower figure. Many postponements have
likewise taken place, the biddings being so very
cautious that the. Commissioners, notwithstanding
their unquestionaEe anxiety to "do business' on
anything approaching to fair terms, and their avowed
determination to refuse " no reasonable cffer," could
not assent to the sacrifices that would necessarily
have taken place.
Under such circumstances it was that the Marquis
of VirsTmEATH introduced his Encumbered
Estates Act Amendment Bill, which received its
third reading in the House of Lords on Tuesday
evening. The measure itself, as originally framed,
was not of a very importaat character. It merely
went to the extent that an estate should not be offered
for sale, under the Commision, unless the debts ac-

tually and bona fide amounted to one-half the value
of the entire property of the owner. Nothing is more
common than that a certain denomination of land
should be mortgaged for a small sum of money.
The lands did not, perhaps, constitute the fourth part
of the real property of the owners ; but still the net
proceeds, after liquidation of ali outgoings, did not
exceed double the interest of the specific charges, or
a receiver might hare been appointed under what is
in Ireland termed the " Sheriffs' Act," and the
property would thus be sold contrary to the
spirit of the Act and the avowed inten-
tion of Parliament. It was to remedy

this evil that the Noble Marquis brought
forward his Bill. But a clause was introduced on
Tuesday, whicb, like the postscript of a ledy's letter,
was of much greater iinportance than the orikinal
matter. The new clause provided that the Commis.
sioners should, before any sale, estimate the value of
the estate to be sold, and not sell unless fifteen years'
purcbaie ou that ascertained value should be offered
for it. This important clause was, after a brief but
very animated discussion, carried by a majority of

BILL.

The Marquis of LANSDOViNE moved the postpone-
ment of the order of the day in the committee on the
Parliamentary Franchise (Ireland) Bill to Thursday.
Lord STANLEY had received notice of the intended
postponement, but he thought it would be dependent to
him whether the motion would certainly come on Thurs-
day.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that was a sub-
ject over which he had no control.

Monday.
ACCOMMODATION OF FOREIGN MINISTERS

IN THE HOUSE.
The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE rose to move the re
solution of which he bad given notice with relation to
the accommodation provided hi their Lordships'
House for foreign Ministers. He would not
further allude to the corcuwstance which they must
all deplore, in consequene of which a most eminent
member of the diplomatic body had been deprived of
that seat which he thought he had a full right to oc-
cupy; more especially as on the door by which he had
entered was inscribed, " For the Members of the Diplo-
matic Body. • That eminent person, therefore, who was
well known to their Lordships, urged that he had a right
to the spat which he occupied. The mistake was most
unfortunate, and in order to obviate such mistakes for
the future, he moved the appointment of a Select Com-
mittee, of which he bad given notice.
Lord BROUGHAM seconded the motion, in order to
show that he entirely agreed with his Noble Friend.

" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
on matters that are the'prima mobil'a of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school' of the Disraelis, Man-

of the finest displays of histrionic poacr on the lyric
