The Duke de Nemours is at present on a tour of in-
Vection of the army in the provinces. He has received

that 5,660,800 leeches have been imported into France.
The imprudence of carrying an umbrella during a
thunder-storm was exemplified a few days back. Two
workmen were overtaken by a violent storm near
Schlidt, in Switzerland, and covered themselves with an
hmbrella. It acted as a conductor, for the electric fluid
running down the stick, killed the man who held it, and
injured the other, though but slightly.
The Cologne Gazette publishes a letter from Athens,
016 the 21st of July, in which it is stated that, in the

bruised by the ball than was at first supposed. Doctor
Sehvenlein, though declaring that no danger was to be
"Pprehended, ordered leeches to be applied. His Ma-
jesty, instead of proceeding immediately on his journey,
has been compelled to stop at Erdmansdorff."
According to a late census, it appears that there are
80,000 labourers employed in the mines of Prussia. The
annual revenue arising from them amounts to about
5,000,000/.

IRELAND.
THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND.

DinitaN,Tc. 10.—There is a rumour in town to-
day that her Al Pjesty and her Illustrious Consort intend
to visit this country during the present autumn.
THE CROPS.

The weather has undergone a favourable change since
yesterday, although it still appears far from settled.
DONEGAL, AUG. B.—Since Monday night we have had
much fine rain, from which the crops are looking most
promising. Farmers look forward to an abundant
harvest ; crops of every description have apparently re-
covered the early drought. Potatoes are plentiful in the
markets, and both cheap and good. The hay has turned
out beyond expectation, and wheat looks well and for-
ward to ripening.
BORRIS-IN-OSSORY (QUEEN'S COUNTY.)—The heavy
rain and wind of Monday night and Tuesday morn-
ing have done a great deal of injury to the heavy
crops in this neighbourhood. The River Nore wns
flooded extensively, and all the bottom meadows are
covered with water.
ADDRESSES TO LORD lIEYTESBURY.

The College of Physicians presented an address to the
Lord Lieutenant yesterday, at the Vice-Regal Lodge in
the Phoenix-park. The following is the reply of his Ex-
cellency :
" Mr. President and Gentlemen,—Your address of
congratulation upon my arrival in this country has
afforded me great satisfaction.
" I feel grateful to you for the flattering manner in
which you have alluded to the different employments I
have had the honour to fill as representati%e of my Sove •
reign at foreign courts. I endeavoured there, as I shall
always endeavour here, to carry out the duties in-
trusted to me with temper, firmness, and. impartiality—
feeling convinced that such a line of conduct is most
likely to secure the confidence and approbation of the
Irish people.
"You may rely, gentlemen, upon my granting all the
encouragement in my power to the arts and sciences; and
nothing shall be wanting on my part that may tend to
uphold the character and consequence of your distin-
guished college.
_ _

"I thank you, gentlemen, in Lady Heytesbury's name,
as well as my own, for the kind expression of your good
wishes."

A FIGHT IN A JURY-ROOM.
At Cork assizes, on Tuesday evening, Mr. liemmis,
Q.C., presiding, the jury, in the case of Casey for horse
stealing, came into their box.
COURT—WeII, gentlemen, have you agreed ? Fore-
man—lmpossible, my Lord ; two of the jury are as ob-
stinate as mules—the eloquence of Socrates would not
convince them.—(Loud laughter.)
The jurors retired for the night.
On Wednesday Doctor Beamish came into Court, and
having been sworn, stated that one of the jury in the case
of Casey, named Carey, was labouring under affection of
the kidneys and stomach, and that his confinement would
be attended with serious results.

The Court directed the jury to be discharged.
Mr. Bennett, Q.C.—Before this jury is discharged, I
must state to the Court that I have been informed that
some highly improper conduct took place in the j ury-
room last night. I call upon one of the jury to come
out of that box, and inform the Crown solicitor of the
disgraceful occurrence which took place last night.
Foreman—The fact is, my Lord, that about two
o'clock this morning, when we were all reposing as well
as we could, one of the jury, who got some sudden fit,
jumped up from his chair, struck us with it, and trampled
about on our bodies —(Roars of laughter)—and what was
more extraordinary, in a short time after he did not re-
member what he had done.—(Continued laughter.)
Another Juror—l can show my arms where I was
struck with the chair, and if I had not taken up another
chair to protect myself, I don't know how it would be
with me.—(Laughter.)
The belligerent juror, a Mr. M'Donnell, was here
brought into the box, and sported a very ugly--looking
black eye.
COURT-Oh, let him go away, let them all go away ;
I shall certainly not swear them any more this assizes.
PUGILISTIC ENCOUNTER ON THE BENCH.

A Birr (King's County) correspondent of the Tippe-
rary Vindicator writes as follows :—" A rich scene
occurred on the bench of the Petty Sessions Court
shortly after Sir W. Lynar had retired. Mr. Philip
Drought, a deservedly popular magistrate, playfully
applied a rod which he had in his hand to the back of
Sir Edward Synge, who was sitting in front of him, when
the Baronet, suddenly turning round, and throwing
himself into a pugilistic attitude, popped in his right
and left, fibbing Mr. Drought in a style that would have
done credit to Deaf Burke' or the Tipton Slasher.'
Queer things have sometimes been acted even on the
bench, but such an exhibition as a mill' or sparring
match has seldom come off in a court of justice."
SHOCKING MURDER IN THE KING'S COUNTY.

The Nenagh Guardian contains the following appall-
ing narrative :—" It again becomes our sad duty to re-
cord the perpetration of a barbarous murder. The lo-
cality of this scene of blood is the King's County, close
to the borders of Tipperary, and within one mile and a
half of the village of Shinrone, at Kilcommon, in the
barony of Clonlisk. The deceased, Thomas Grenvill,
was a stonemason, of industrious habits, the only sup-
port of an aged father and mother ; but, unfortunately
for himself and others, he became acquainted with a
girl named Winny Cahill, who, with her parents and
four brothers, lived contiguous to the residence of the
Grenvills. Their intimacy resulted in the girl giving
birth to a child, which is now one year and a half old.
No excuse can be pleaded for Grenvill's unfeeling con-
duct towards the girl Cahill, not only in refusing to
marry her, but even to allow her any recompense for
the support of her offspring or the loss of her character,
on which the blight of defamation never rested up to the
period Grenvill became her seducer. Her father obtained
a quarter sessions' decree for the loss of his daughter's
services and time during her confinement, but was un-
able to recover the amount. The Cahills at last were
incensed at the harsh and ungenerous treatment their sis
ter received, and inflamed with revenge, they were fre-
quently heard threatening Grenvill : his house was at-
tacked, and on many occasions the police had to protect
him. Grenvill's mother, about ten o'clock, had pro-
ceeded to Shinrone to buy some bread, when her son
determined to meet her, in order to carry her over a
part of the road which was flooded, near the bridge of
Kilcommon, adjacent to which there was a wake, where
many persons, and among them were the. Cahills, as-
sembled. Grenvill was seen taking off his shoes and
stockings, and must have been followed down to a dark
part, where his assailants waited the return of their vic-
tim. They fractured his skull in several places, and
broke his arm and jaw-bone, and from the severity of
the wounds it is thought instantaneous death must have
ensued. Some boys going home found him on the road
bathed in his own blood, and bore him to the home of
his aged parents a helpless and mangled corpse. On the
following day a lengthened investigation was held before
Sir W. Lynar, R.M., when six persons were committed.
An inquest was held on Thursday, and the following
verdict returned :—" That on the 6th day of August, at
Clika, parish of Kilcommon, barony of Clonlisk, King's
County, Thomas Grenvill was found dead, where he
was previously wilfully, feloniously, and of malice afore-
thought waylaid, killed, and murdered by some person
or persons to that jury unknown."
PARDON OF A CONVICT.—The Tipperary Indicator
contains the following:—A man of the name of Neil,
tried and found guilty at the last assizes for this county
of the wilful murder of John Kennedy, at Cappagh, in
January last, and left for execution, was on Thursday
morning informed by the governor of the county gaol
that Government had granted him a free pardon.
EXECUTION IN ROSCOMMON.—At half-past twelve
o'clock on Thursday, pursuant to the respite, Catherine
Brien and Bridget Langan were executed in front of the
county gaol. Catherine Brien protested that she had
neither hand, act, or part in the murder, but did not
deny that she knew of it, and, therefore, admitted the
knowledge of all that took place.
At the late meeting of the board of trustees of the
College of Maynooth, the Right Rev. Doctor James
Brown, Bishop of Kilmore, was appointed a trustee to the
said college, in the room of the Right Rev. Dr. Kernah,
of Clogher, deceased.

ACCIDENT ON THE BRISTOL AND GLOUCESTER
RAILWAY.—GLOCESTER, SATURDAY EVENING.—An ac-
cident of a very critical kind, and which must have
caused some alarm at Bristol, occurred this evening on
the Bristol and Gloucester line. The stations of the Bir-
mingham and Gloucester Company and of the Bristol
Company are placed exactly alongside of each other, but
the respective lines of rails cross each other at a point
about half a mile distant from the stations. The train
which conveys the mail left the station at half-past 7
o'clock for Bristol, but when the engine had cleared by
only a few feet the place where the Birmingham lines
cross the Bristol lines, it left its rails and got embedded
in the gravel of the permanent way. The carriages at-
tached to the engine lay in the way of the Birming-
ham traffic, and as it was known that a goods' train
could not be far distant, a lively alarm was felt lest it
should come up whilst the rails were blockaded. To
guard against this a man was instantly dispatched with
a flag in the direction of the coming train, and every
effort was made to get the carriages shoved back
to the station. Both objects were luckily accomplished.
The man with the flag succeeded in attracting the at-
tention of the driver of the coming train, and a stoppage
took place, and the Bristol carriages were shoved back to
the station. As might be supposed, considerable alarm
was felt and expressed at the outset by the passengers,
but on the nature of the accident becoming known, the
alarm subsided into grumbling at the detention to which
they were subjected. The embedded engine lay within
a few feet of the off Birmingham rail, and the circum-

stance enabled the goods train from Birmingham, which
consisted of thirty-seven heavily-laden carriages, to pass
after a detention of about half-an-hour. A passenger
train arrived shortly afterwards, so that had anything
occurred to prevent the goods train from getting out of
the way, the chance of accident was largely increased by
the trains being so close upon each other. The mail
train from Bristol arrived about half-past eight o'clock,
and, on discovering what had happened, it instantly re-
turned on the same line of rails by which it had arrived,
taking with it the passengers and the mail. This acci-
dent occurring so soon after the one which threw a damp
over the festivities of the opening, must be regarded as
an untoward event, and should induce the Directors to
make a searching inquiry into the cause.
PONTOP AND SOUTH SHIELDS RAILWAY.—The half-
yearly meetiug of this Company was held.. on Saturday,
at the office in Guildhall-buildings, City. The chair
was taken by Mr. Robert Stephenson. The report was
not of a very gratifying nature for the last six months,
through the strike of the pitmen, and the depression of
business consequent on it at Newcastle. Before the
strike the profits had gone on increasing to the extent
of 1,130 Z The total receipts of the Company for the
half year were 29,5541. 12s. 9d., and the expenditure
21,4831. 12s. 6d., leaving a balance of profit of
8,071/. Os. 3d. From the net balance remaining the
Directors declared a dividend of IL 4s. per share, equal
to 4 per cent. per annum on the paid up capital. After
the report was adopted, a vote of thanks was passed to
6110 chawman) and the business terminated,

PRAYERS AND THANKSGIVINGS
FOR THE QUEEN.
Yesterday the following pastoral letter from the
Roman Catholic Vicar Apostolic of the London district
was publicly read at each of the masses in all the Roman
Catholic chapels of London and its vicinity:—

R PASTORAL LETTER OF THE BISHOP VICAR APOSTOLIC
IN THE LONDON DISTRICT TO THE CLERGY AND
FAITHFUL.

" Dearly beloved brethren and children in Jesus
Christ,—Divine Providence having again caused the song
of thanksgiving to resound through the nation,lby the birth
of another Prince to our beloved Sovereign, we invite
you to manifest your gratitude
.to the great Ruler
of kings and empires, whose mandates we obey
in submitting to the delegate of this power, and
whose Sovereignty we reverence in revering the
august Queen of these realms ; and whilst your
hearts are poured forth in gratitude and affection
before the altar of God for this fresh proof of his
benevolence to the nation, fail not to implore a continu•
ance of the Divine protection to her Gracious Majesty
and the Royal infant. Beseech him whose wisdom and
power meetly dispose all things for the good of them
that love Him to endcw her Majesty with Christian
wisdom, with heavenly fortitude, and with Divine
charity, that she may so govern these realms with pru-
dence, justice, and benevolence, that an eternal crown
of unfading glory and happiness may succeed to the
perishable crown of anxious responsibility, which at-
tends worldly empire.
" That you may all unite with one heart and one
voice in these fcrvant acts of thanksgiving and supplica-
tion, we direct that, on the .first Sunday after the re-
ceipt of this pastoral letter, there be recited or sung in
every chapel, Te Deem, Laudamus, with the Versicle
and Response, Benedicamus and the prayer Deus
cujus miseracordice, &c., and Domine salvam fae, &c.,
with the usual prayer for the Queen and Royal Family
—in Latin or English.
" The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you,
Amen."—l Thess., v, 28.
" THOMAS, BISHOP OF OLENA,
" Vicar Apostolic in the London District."

TIER MAJESTY AND THE INFANT PRINcE.—On
Saturday the following " form of song and thansgiving''
was offered at all the synagogues throughout Great
Britain on the accouchement of her Majesty the Queen,
and the happy birth of a Prince:—" Aleim, 0 Lord God.
King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, whose dominion is
everlasting, in Thy great goodness, dost Thou bestow
Thy kindness on all the inhabitants of the universe.
Through Thee Kings reign and Princes administer jus-
tice; on them bast Thou placed the kingly diadem.
With song of thanksgiving do we approach Thee, and
with praise and blessings for Thy favour shown us, that
Thou hast vouchsafed to visit our Sovereign Lady Queen
Victoria with mercy and salvation. Thou art He who
giveth to the weary strength, and to the feeble power.
In Thy great kindness and mercy Thou didst shield her;
Thou didst release her in safety from her suffering, and
hast granted to her a, son. 0 Lord ! bestow on him
length of days in health and prosperity, and may his
name be praised and extolled. Thom, 0 Lord, be
with him for ever ! Amen. Most, High King, whose
eyes are open upon all created beings, as Thou hest in
Thy goodness given the Kingly crown to our graciou-
Queen Victoria, so continue to bestow on her Th)
favour, to strengthen her, and may her throne be esta-
blished in mercy and kindness. May her days be pre
longed, and her reign continue in happiness. May
the sceptre not depart from her prosperity, but sheild
her and her offspring, and grant to him the spirit of
wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and
might. May peace reign in their habitations, and tran-
quillity in their dwellings, and may the beauty of the
Lord be upon them ! Amen. Let Thy blessings attend
his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the illustrious consort
of our most gracious Queen ; may he lire to behold his
descendants to the third and fourth generation, flourish-
ing and prosperous in theifullness of Thy bounty. In
his days and ours may Judah be saved and Israel live in
comfort. Amen. May He who dispenseth salvation
unto kings, and dominion unto princes, whose kingdom
is the kingdom of the whole universe, who delivered his
servant David from the sword of destruction, who
maketh a way in the sea and a path in the might)
waters, may lie bless, preserve, and elevate to the
highest dagree our sovereign lady Queen Victoria, the
Prince Albert, Albert Edward Prince of Wales, Ade-
laide, the Queen Dowager, and all the Royal Family.
May the supreme King of Kings, through his mercy,
grant Queen Victoria life, preserve her from all sorrow
and grief, save her from all danger, subdue nations
under her feet, cast her enemies down before her, and
cause her to be successful whereuntosoever she may
turn. May the supreme King of Kings, in his mercy,
inspire her heart, and those of her councillors and
nobles, with benevolence towards us and all Israel ! In
her days and ours may Judah be saved. Israel dwell in
comfort, and the Redeemer come unto Zion. Oh ! may
such be the Divine will ! And let us say Amen." The
choir sang the 21st and 40th Psalms.

TX& TIMES WE LIVE IN.—During the recent ex-
min ttion of insolvent debtors at Taunton, the case of
a far ner, residing near Bridgwater, who had a family of
tweicti-one children, came before the Learned Commis-
sion .r, upon which his Honour remarked that he could
no; wonder at a man becoming insolvent who had so
numerous a family of dependents in the present hard
times.

PROLIFIC CROPS.—In the garden of Mr. Blackford,
of Blockley, in this county, was picked up, a few days
ago, a branch of an apple tree, six inches in length, and
bearing upon it a cluster of no less than thirty-five
apples. Also in the garden of Mr. Bennett, of Chesnut-
walk, in the suburbs of this city, a single pea-stalk was
plucked, a few days ago, on which were found no less
than 101 pods ! It bears the name of the branch-pen."

CHEAP TRAVELLING.—We have seen nothing yet
in the way of travelling which equals for cheapness a
projected journey to Liverpool from London by rail,
which is to take place on the 19th instant, and from
Liverpool back to London on the 29th instant. The
journey is projected to give travellers an opportunity of
vi:;iting Scotland, Ireland, Wales, the Lakes, and the
Isle of Man; and is one of those extraordinary pleasure
trip, which are now so frequent, and are performed so
cheaply from being participated in by a great multitude.
It is an exemplification of the great principle that the
cheapness of any production of art becomes great in pro-
I portion as its advantages are shared by numbers,

NOTTINGHAM CATASTROPHE.
The inquest on the bodies of the unfortunate persons
who perished in so melancholy a manner at the Notting-
ham execution, concluded in the following verdict :
" The jury are of opinion, that the deceased indivi-
duals were accidentally thrown down in and by a crowd
of people who had been attending a public execution in
the town of Nottingham, and were then and there
trampled to death, or suffocated."
It was then unanimously added, that " the jury are of
opinion, that the front of the County-hall is a most im-
proper place for a public execution, and they trust the
persons who have the authority to fix upon a place for
that purpose will not allow another execution to take
place there."
The matter would have speedily been settled, had not
a desire been expressed by several of the jury. to add
something in the way of censure upon the magistrates.
Mr. Page, as foreman, declared he would not sign the
verdict if a resolution of censure were not passed, and
expressed his determination to hold out until the follow-
ing day. The coroner at length explained, that although
the verdict must be unanimous, any subsequent opinion
of a majority of the jury might be appended. An ex-
pression of censure was then persisted in, and was car-
ried by a majority of two, in the following terms :
" A majority of the jury at the same time express
their opinion that, considering the extensive excitement
which prevailed, sufficient precaution was not taken by
the proper authorities to prevent accident."

Thoresdyke, R.A., and King, R.E. ; Lieutenant-Co-

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
A new opera, entitled Corrado di Altamura, was pro-
duced at this theatre on Saturday with complete suc-
cess. It is the composition of Fredeigo Ricci, brother
of the composer of Scarramuccia, and contains much
pleasing melody. The "cast" of the characters was as
in the subjoined scheme:—

Corrdo di Altamura Signor Fornasari.
Ruggiero di Morreale Signor Mario.
Giffredo (his Squire) ..4; Signor A. Giubilei.
Grand Chancellor Signor Dai Fiori.
Delizia Mad. Grisi.
Guiscardo Bonello Madlle. Favatiti.
Margarita Mad. Dai Fiori.
Isabella Mad. Bellini.
The scene is laid in Sicily, and the period at which it is
supposed to pass is about the twelfth century. The plot
of the opera is simple in substance, and not complicated
in its texture or development. It turns on the old story
—love and treachery. Corrado di Altamura, a Sicilian
count, has, " like Jephtha, King of Israel,"
One fair daughter, and no more,
The which he loveth passing well.
her name is Delizia, and she is betrothed to Ruggiero,
a disgraced dace of the Guiscard, or serpent family, who
has found a refuge and a friend in her father, in his hour
of distress. The gentle maiden is as fond of her lover
as ever Galatea was of Adis, as they disported erewhile
on the sunny slopes of the Lilybean promontory ; but
he, as though to save the credit of his family cognomen,
with the subtleness of the snake, from which he takes his
designation, having won her unsuspecting heart, and—it
may be something more—woos another high-born dame,
the child of the Arch-Chancellor of the kingdom, and
arranges to wed her. All this is revealed to Corrado,
and by him of course to Delizia, through the virtuous
indignation, and it may be violent jealousy—" all for
love, and a little for the bottle"—of Bonello, a young
and noble knight, :who has long sought, but sought in
vain, to obtain the hand of the fair one so falsely be-
trayed, and so foully abandoned; and daughter and sire
set out at once for Palermo to stop the nuptial rites—
forbid the banns—and exposes the recreant Ruggiero,
or " Hager," for that is his ominous appellation.
They arrive in due course, at the " nick of
time," and " a scene" ensues, which issues in
the resumption, by the Arch-Chancellor, of all the
rascally Ruggiero's deprived dignities, the price, it is
inferred, of his marriage with his daughter, and then
finishes with the flight of the baffled betrayer. The trea-
son of Ruggiero has, however, so wrought upon the
heart of Delizia, that she resolves to renounce the world,
and become the bride of heaven ; and a nun she accord-
ingly becomes, like the Toaggenburger's lady-luve in the
beautiful ballad of Schillar :
" She you seek, the veil now bearing,
Is the bride of Heaven ;
Tester's feast, as night was nearing,
She to God was given."
She has taken the irrevocable rows—she has entered
the cloister—she belongs to life no longer, save by her
breath—she is among her fellow-creatures, not of them
—she is the servant and the handmaiden of religion—
immured for ever

" In those deep solitudes and awful cells.
Where heavenly musing contemplation dwells."
The youthful Bonellu departs from the church when she
has taken "presentation," cast down with the loss he
has sustained, and only animated by the hopes of re-
venge upon him who blighted his being. Her aged fa-
ther turns away from the grated portal within which is
enshrined his treasure—all that to him made life lovely.
They are all gone, and he is alone—alone in his deep
grief, in his bitter anger, in his boiling rage—grief,
and anger, and rage, which none can fancy but
those who have felt what it is to have the
" one object in the world" torn from them, by hands
which they have trusted, and hearts which they
have loved. In this mood he encounters a masked
man, who implores the pardon of the injured parent on
behalf of the wretch Ruggiero ; and who, that pardon
being denied to his entreaties and refused to his tears,
discovers himself as the traitor. A noble nature will
not take advantage even of its worst enemy. Ruggiero
calls on Corrado to strike, and wipe out with his heart's
blood the stain he has cast on his name, the blight he
has brought on his race ; but the angered father, in-
jured though he is, cannot strike a defenceless man. He
gives him his sword, and they fight, not on the stage,
and the wounded and disabled traitor flies for refuge
even to the convent, where, all unknown to him, Delizia
has made her last home between the grave and this
world. The end of the drama may be easily anticipated.
The nun, attracted by the groans of a dying man in the
garden of the nunnery, where she is then walking, rushes
to his relief with the prompt humanity of her sex, and
Ruggiero, penitent and imploring forgiveness, •passes
away—let us hope to a better sphere—under the in-
fluence of her benediction and her pity. He dies as
Corrado, Bonello, and their friends and followers enter,
beseeching blessings on the head of her he loved and
betrayed, and offering, as the only extenuation of his
crime, besides his deep contrition and heartfelt woe, the
fact that he had not once turned his sword against his
benefactor and her sire in the fatal affray which cost him
his existence, and consigned her to irremediable sorrow
for his loss. And so ends this sad eventful history.
The first act, which is preceded not by an overture, hut
by a few bars of introduction, represents the joy of De•
lizia at the return of her lover Roggero, who departs,
almost as soon as he returns, for the wars, according to
his own account ; but alas, he has really gone to marry
the daughter of the Grand Chancellor, and the joy of
the house of Altamura is turned to sorrow, when this
afflicting intelligence is communicated by Bonello, the
curtain failing on an indignant trio by Bonello, Delizia,
and Corrado. An aria of Grisi, "Forse ah forse," was
pre-eminently successful, not for its own merits, but for
the very exquisite singing of the artist. She lavished
upon it all her fioriture, and never was heard, probably,
a more charming specimen of perfect execution. A song
which she afterwards sings—"Raggio di con tento "
is exceedingly pretty, and withal light and playful even
to triviality. She sported through it in the true spirit
of heedless happiness, and we were somewhat surprised
that this did not receive the honour of an encore, as
well as the preceding aria. A duet by Fornasari and
Favanti, in which the revelation iimade of Roggero's in-
fidelity, is remarkable for the favourable opportunity
given to the former for an exhibition of strong feeling.
'1 he representation of tender affection, when Corrado
describes his love for his daughter, and the fury of his
delivery when he discovers that she has been wronged,
are among Fornasari's best efforts, and quits in his own
vein. The second act commences with a drinking
chorus. The scene is now a hall in the Chancellor 'a
palace, and the nuptials of Roggero and Margarita
(Madame Dui Fiori) are about to be celebrated, when
the ceremony is interrupted by the appearance of Cor-
rado, Delizia, and Bonello. The concerted piece by the
whole of the dramatis persona and chorus is exceedingly
good, and the orchestral accompaniments highly skilful
and effective. The act is a very short one, but what it
contains leaves a better impression of Ferdinand Ricci
than any other part of the opera. We should not take
leave of this second act without a word as to Mario's
costume. That vocalist has made it such a com-
plete study to introduce new and striking dresses in
every character he assumes, that his habiliments are
always anticipated with curiosity. The chain armour
in which he is attired in the first act, gives all the
notion of a middle-age knight, as distinguished from the
gingerbread-looking warriors who so often represent
chivalry. his dress as a bridegroom in the second act
is superb. The blue silk tunic, and, indeed, the whole
costume, gives an appearance of the most graceful light-
ness, while a golden circlet is worn upon the head. It
is a most picturesque medium between the classic and
romantic attire. The third act is decorated by a very
beautiful scene, representing a convent, with light
streaming through the painted windows. Delizia is
about to take the veil, and an appropriate chorus and
preghiera are introduced. Roggero, stricken with re-
morse, enters enveloped in a large cloak, and has an in-
terview with old Corrado, whose pardon he endeavours
to obtain. When he reveals himself he receives a chal-
lenge in the place of forgiveness, and the injured father
and the faithless lover retire to mortal combat. The
whole of this business forms the subject of a duet, which
has little originality, but with its attendant flourishing
of swords and the spirit of the two vocalists, produces
that excitement which must almost necessarily result
from all duets, written with tolerable skill, taking their
date from " Suoni la trornba." The sound of an organ
is heard within the convent chapel, and Delizia enters
ates
it after singing an aria. Then Roggero makes his
appearance, mortally wounded, but nevertheless in
sufficiently good condition to sing a long duet
with Delizia, and obtains her forgiveness ere he dies
in the arms of Corrado, which death concludes the opera.
At the fall of the curtain the principal artistes were
called for sad received with all the honours. The mag-
nificoont. ballee-of Le Lac des Fees followed, with Cerito
as the heroine. The theatre was crowded. Among the
