DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.
Letters from Bucharest of the tat instant state that
Gl.neral I:lunAlukr., who was on the point of starting
for Constantinople, received a command from the
CZAR, at St. Petersburgh, not to quit Bucharest.
This command was accompanied by a letter from the
Chancellor of State, desiring that the General should
not be permitted to depart. The note caused great
surprise to the Russian commission, and the more so,
as Mad iine'DhuAiktEL was obliged to go to Constan-
tinople with M. &Limos, who is commissioned to
bring certain papers to the General which are of great
importance to him, and which are in the hands of a
relative of M. MAUROS. It is supposed that this stra-
tagem has been set on foot by a bitter enemy of
DUHASIEL9s—General HASFURT.

THURSDAY EVENING,

THE FLUTE.
The flute, which was the most popular musical instru-
ment of the ancient Greeks, and has retrained popular
up to the present time, has lately undergone a revolution
At the beginning of the last century it was but a com-
mon whistle. sounded like the modern flageolet, and
termed flute-a-bcc. It had no keys, and could produce
only the diatonic scale. The German flute, which sup-
planted this feeble instrument, was equally'limited in its
range of notes, but bad a more sonorous tone. The in-
creased cultivation of instrumental music, and the de-
mands of the modern orchesira, whetted the invention of
the eminent performers upon the instrument; and pro-
duced ultimately all the notes of the chromatic scale.
The notes of the original diatonic settle, however, being
imperfect, these additional notes, which were obtained
by keyi, were still inferior, and thus the flute, like all
the fingeted wind instruments' which were similarly cir-
cumstanced, remained proverbially false in intonation.
Theme defects, however, having proved too gress for mo-
dern ears, the last twenty years have produced a flute
tuned according.to equal terepennient, and with tones
Of an equally resonant quality throughout the entire re-
gister of the' instrument. One of the most active
movers in this direction was Boehm, of Munich, whose
suggestions have been adopted, not only on the flat%
hut the oboe, clarinet, and bassoon. Messrs. Rudall and
Rose, who introduced the improvements of this gentle-
man to the English flute player, soon found two classes
of 'objectors to them—one consisting of those who were
indisposed to make certain changes in the manipulation
which we re required iu playing upon the flute which
went by Boehm's name, and another teas comprised
great numbers who, having adopted the Boebm mode of
fingering, found it more dAlicult of execution than their
old method. In this dilemma Messrs. Rudall and Rose
made numerous experiment 11 flutes for different in-
ventors, having fur an objf,ct to remove these obstacles
to the free progress of the amelioration of the instru-
ment. But it was not until they met the flute as planned
by Mr. Carteehat they were fully satisfied. The patent
of Mr. Carte extends to two flutes, which are contrived
to meet the objections of the two classes of persona re-
ferred to; one flute combining the principle of equally
distributed holes, with the exact fingering of the old
flute, and
-the other having the same perfection of tone
and intonation, with the fiegering somewhat
,changed,
but aff)rding a facility of execution that is something
extraordinary.

PUNCH VERSUS HUMBUG.

A delightful sarcasm, both pictorial and literary, is
given in the columns of our droll contemporary,
Punch, of this morning. Fain would we transfer to
our impression the larga wood-cut, most grotesque

my Lord John Russell as Puritans—the latter ex-
claiming, with the genuine nasal twang of the conven-
ticle—" Verily, Brother Ashley—between you and
me, and the Post—we have made a nice mess of it."
Gladly, too, would we give the sketch of the " Puritan

ATROCIOUS ASSAULT

UPON
E R IV" A.J EST Y.
(THIS EVENING.)

This evening, at a quarter-past six, as her Ma-
jesty was leaving Cambridge House, accompanied
by a lady in waiting and three children, a tall
gentlemanly-dressed man, about 26 years old, aimed
a violent blow at her Majesty's head with a bludgeon,
by which her bonnet was removed. The villain was
instantly seized by the police, but not before he re-
ceived summary and severe punishment from the
hands of the infuriated populace, who surrounded the
carriage and witnessed the assault.
The miscreant is well known at the West End,
and is considered insane.

Her Majesty, we rejoice to say, was but slightly

injured.

THE FLUTE.

The flute, which sfes the most popular musical instru-
ment of the encl. nt aLd h-ts re tn‘ined ;eviler
up to the present time, has lbt,ly und,rgene a ee-olution
At the beginning o: the last c,et cry it w.:5, but a cona-
mon whistle, sounded like the modern flageolet, and
termed flute-a-bre. It bad no keys, and could produce
only the diatonic scale. The German flute; which *HE,-

was equally limited in its

creased cultiv,,tion of insttemental music, and the de-
mands of the ui-otlernorchestra,-whetted the invention of
the eminent performers-upon tlac instrument, and pro-
duced ultimately all -the notes of the chromatic sea Te.
The notes of the original diatonic se:ale, however, being

by keys, were still inferior, and thus the fiole, like all
the fingered wind instruments which wale similarly eir-
ciawstrateed, remained proverbially false Jin intonaticne

A HAPPY HONE.

"Everything in the house of Ivan Vassilievitsch's
friend was comfortable, though simple and unpretending,
but the smallest trifle was distinguished by nn artistic
selvction; every tb Jig reflected the indescribable light of
the presence of is 5 oung and beautiful woman. She wel-
comed Ivan Vase itievitsch with a smiling friendliness
as if she had Icaown him for many, many years,
and he stopped in devout admiration betoro her.
It teemed to him as if tilt then he had
never seen a woman. She was not beautiful with
that beauty that troubles the passionate dreams of
youth; her whole being was an ideal of the highest.
peace, of the most poetical quietude. Her soul looked
through her eyes— her heart spoke through her lips.
Her child-like features expressed such a kind-heartedness,
such profound and holy lore, that any man in looking
at her must involtentarily become a better man! Two
rosy-checked children, at the view of the stranger
pressed their curly little heads to her knees. Ivan viewed
this picture as if it were a relic, and he felt that he had
before him the brig 3.test illustration cf the highest reward
for man's toils, I abours, and sorrows. How long he
stopped before this scene he was unconscious; he did
not hear a single sword that was said to him, but his
heart felt wider mad wider, all his feedngs concentrated
themselves into one of quiet beatitude, all his thoughts
into a prayer."
In the chapter entitled "Merchants" is recorded a
curious scene at a tavern, where some merchants
are regaling, themselves on the, apparently, favourite
Russian beverage, tea. An individual hearing the
euphonious name of Potapitsch enters the room, in-
quires if one of the merchants is going to Ribua, and
on being answered in the affirmative, consigns to his
charge more than five thousand roubles, to be paid to
some one residing at Ribua, without, to the estonish-
ment of the civilized Ivan, even asking for a receipt.
On the stranger's departure, the inquiring Ivan can-
not resist demanding of the merchant if the owner of
the money is a relative or intimate acquaintance,
and then naively asks—" but how is it that he did
not ask you tor a receipt for the money ?" The other
merchants laugh, and the one concerned gets into a
passion. "a receipt !" he .cried. out furiously ; " a
receipt. Iwoul d havebraken his jaw with his own
money had he dared to ask me for a receipt. I have
been a merchant now more than fifty years, and I
have never yet been insulted by being asked to give
a receipt." In matters like this the writer of
" The Tarantas" has exhibited with happy effect some
of the peculiar, and in some cases praiseworthy, cha-
racteristics of his countrymen. Brief as is the jour-
ney, and trivial as are the events which it reveals, a
trip by the Tarantas will be found by all who choose
to essay it both a profitable and pleasant pastime.

LATEST PARTICULARS.

(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)
SUN OFFICE, Eight o'clock.
Oar reporter has ascertained from Mr. Inspector
Wall, of the Vine street p )lice station, that the above

information is quite correct. •
The miscreant described himself as Robert Pate, of
27, Duke-street, St. James's, and Wisbeach, in • .
Cam-
bridgeshire, and stated to the police that he was
formerly a lieutenant in the 11th Hussars.
The occurrence has, as might naturally be expected,
created a great deal of excitement at the West. end.
Inquiries are momentarily being made at the
Palace as to the safety of her Majesty, who, we are
glad to repeat, suffers but slightly from the effects
of this atrocious attack.

Information of the assault has been forwarded to
the police authorities in Scotland-yard, and the
various Ministers of State, and in all probability the
culprit will be brought up at the Chief Pulice-court
the first thing to•morrow morning.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE,

The eighth representation of La Tempesta took
place on Tuesday evening ; the house was again
crowded in every part, and the furore excited by its
performance was as intense as ever. Madame Sontag
was in exquisite voice, and sang the music deli-
ciously. In her rendering of her "aria d'intrata" on
Tuesday night she surpassed herself ; never has such
exquisite delicacy of execution been displayed
as she displayed on that occasion ; her
concluding cadenza was the most wonderful, and
at the same time most delicate and most perf-ct
piece of florid execution ever attempted, and excited
rapturous applause and an unanimous encore. Car-
lotta Grisi. as Ariel, was the most fascinating of
sylphs. We have heard it ohjtcted to Scribe that he
has made the part of Ariel a dancing instead of a
singing part, as it is in Shakspere. With all due
deference to these hypercritics we contend that
Scribe is right, and is more Shaksperian in his
treatment of that subject than are his would-be
critics ; Ariel is a light and airy spirit, and
Shakespera evidently intended to draw a marked
distinction between the sylph Ariel and the human
beings of the drama, such a distinction as should at
once mark that Ariel was of a distinct and different
nature from that of the beings by which he is sur-
rounded. This distinction Shakespere has marked
by making Ariel sing whilst all the other characters
speak ; but in opera, where all the characters sing, it
became necessary, in order to preserve this distinction
between Ariel and the human actors in the drama,
that Ariel should not sing, and therefore has M. Scribe
acted most judiciously, and in a true Shaksperian
spirit, in making the part of Ariel a mute pantomimic
part. With such a poetess (for that is the proper
title to apply to her) as Carlotta Grisi the part of
Ariel is infinitely more effective than it could
have been rendered by the utterance of
any articulate sound. Her expressive gestures and
her graceful abandon are far more effectively
eloquent than would be any uttered language. La
blache, magnificent Lablache, was as Caliban "great
glorious and free ;" his dancing is of its sort as won.
dertul as that of Carlotta, and Parodi was as usua
encored in the Brindisi. The choruses were beau.

tifully rendered, and the performance of the or-
chetra was perfect. La Tempestu is to be repeated
to-night, and on Saturday &limes 1 Montecchi ed
I Capuletti is to be produced for the rentree of
Gardoni.
