ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

L'Elisir d'Amore was performed here last evening
with a very strong cast. Madame Viardot Garcia
appeared for the first time as Adina, Ronconi for the
first time as Dr. Dulcarnara, and Mario and Tambu-
rini resumed their old characters of Nemorino and
Belcore. Madame Viardot Garcia made an excellent
Adina; gay, coquettish, and full of life, she seemed the
very beau ideal of a joyous Italian peasant girl, and
in the latter scenes her tender pathos contrasted
beautifully with ber joyousness during the earlier
portions of the opera. No artiste understands the
power of contrast better than does Madame Viardot
Garcia. Her singing was exquisite. Ronconi's
Doctor, although sometimes too exaggerated,
was on the whole an admirable re -
presentation of the impudent quack, and
excited roars of laughter ; even his exaggerations
were most laughter-moving; he was applauded to the
echo, and deserved the applause that be received.
Tamburini's Belcore was, as usual, excellent, and
Marro's Nemorino the best on the stage. His ren-
dering of " Una furtiva lagryma" was perfect. This
was, of course, rapturously encored. The opera went
off most brilliantly, and was felt to be a pleasant relief
to the heavy five act operas which have, during the
greater part of the season, formed the staple of the
amusement here. The house was crowded.

HER MAJEST Y'S. THEATRE.

Last evening was the first of the extra perform-
ances at her Majesty's Theatre, and we had the last
act of Lucia di Lammermoor, with Miss Catherine
Hayes as Lucia and Mr. Sims Reeves as Edgardo,
and the ever fresh and delightful 11 Barbiere, with
Madame Sontag as Rosina, who sang and acted deli-
ciously. Never did she sing Rode 's air more bril-
liantly than last evening, and on being encored she
substituted "Ah vous dirai-je," in which she was
applauded to the echo. Then we had a divertisse-
ment, in which Amelia Ferraris created a perfect
furore by her admirable execution of her pas, and the
last act of Ernani by Mademoiselle Parodi and Gnr-
doni. The %hole concluded with Les Raisirs d' Hiver,
in which Amalia Ferraris was again rapturously ap-
plauded. The house was crowded in every part by a
brilliant audience.

FALL OF

THE

BRICKLAYERS'

ARII3 RAILWAY STATION.
This unfortunate accident, although of a very serious
nature, has not been productive of so much mischief as
was at first anticipated, little or no damage being done
except to the root itself, and three cf the pillars that
supp rted it. The portiou of the station which has fallen
co.npriscs two roof's, Pointed at the top and covering the
permanent way t) a distance of 400 feet. The external
covering of these roofs was of deal planks, slated over
and resting upon beams formed of a bar of fir, bolted
between two lamitte of iron. This kind of beam was
used fir tho duuble purpose of insuring strength and
elasticity, and to er able the boarding of the roof to be
nailed firmly down. Tbe base of the cone formed by
these beams was spanned by j&nte 1 tandem of iron,
from which rose iron bars, affording support to the roof.
The helms were placed along the roofs at intervals of
about f tar feet, tied their ends rested upon cast-iron
support) running along iron pillars, about twelve feet
high and eight inches thick. This row of pillar; formed
a central support, on which the two roofs rested, the
other ends of the beams resting upon the supports of
the sheds at each side of the staLion. The accident
was caused by a carriage which was being moved
round on the turn table striking against the
last pillar of the central row. This instantly
snapped, as also did two others, upon which a great
weight was thus suddenly thrown, and a great portion of
both roofs being thus unsupported, the whole fabric was
torn away from the bolts by its own weight, and fell
with a tremendous noise. Wh, n the fall occurred there
was a long train of first and second-class carriages under
the sheds, ar,d it has been stated by some of the morn-
ing journals that had these been filled with passergers
the sacrifice of life must have been awful. It appears,
however, that the iron-work of the roofs fell on these
carriages and bent themselves over them, without break-
ing a single window or damaging any of them in the
alighest degree. To this fact is owing the preservation
of the three porters at work near the carriages. The
unforunate man who was killed, on hearing the fall of
the pithrs at the lower end of the shed, tete opted to es-
cape into the station, bet was knocked down by the fal-
ling materials, and suffocated by one of tto supports
falling across his neck. Of the three man tak ,n to Guy's
Hospital only one (Watson) Was found to b) seriously
injured, be having his leg broken. The ether two es-
cspd with some severe bruises,and were suffie ently well
t) leave the hospital yesterday afternoon. The iron
pillars along the centre, with the exception of the three
which broke, are still standing, tied the cast-iron sup-
porters along their tons are still entire. An inquest will
be hell on the deceased man to-ley (Friday).

GROUSE SHOOTING.

The season, on Deeside, promises to be a very fa-
vourable one for sportsmen. In Braemar, the grouse are
more abundant than was expected from the severity of
the early part of the season. Oa the 12th, the party of
Lord Elcho and the Uon. H. Coventry begged, on the
Moss of Monaltrie and Muirs of Geirnsheil, belonging
to Invercauld, 244/ brace of grouse, of which Lord
Elcho shot 90/ brace. His Lordship's bag would have
been larger, but he was obliged to give up shooting at
an early hour, on account of his keeper having been
Wien ill on the bill. In the Forest of Birse, Mr. Robert-
son, of Foveran, bagged, on the 12th, 54. brace and 2
hares; on the 13th, 52/ brace, 5 hares, and 1 wild duck;
on the 14th; 27 brace and 2 bares; on 16th, 19/ brace
and 4 hares; ou 170, 19/ brace and 2 hares. Mr.
George Gordon, Nethermuir, killed, on the 12th, 35
brace and 7 hares; on 13th, IS brace; and up to the end
of the week, 423- brace, be.iides hares. We bear that
one of the party at Finz an had 45 brace on the first day,
on the comrconty. Lord Elcho, the Hon. H. Coventry,
Mr. Coventry, and Henry Dundav, E'q., continue to
have excellent sport at Gairnsheil. Lurd Echo and the
Hon. Mr. Covett7 have had, on an average, about 50
brace a day. At the Cairndavon shootings, where
ate Captain Loylands and family, H. L. Lumley, Eaq.,
R. H. Lane, Esq., and Brock, Esq., there are great
appearances of grouse and red deer, but there arc no
accounts of the success of the party. At Lagganauld,
Lord H. Bentinck killed 3 stags before the 12th, and Sir
Richard Sutton had excellent spor', fishing. On the
12 h, Lord 11. I3entinck had 54 brace of grouse; Sir R.
Sutton, 64 brace; and Mr. King, 53 bra-e. Average
since then, 55 brace per day. At Morven Lodge, C. M.
Christie, E:q , of Mule, and Captain N. Christie, have
hal excellent sport. Grouse more plentiful than usual.
The Glenmuick shootings, belonging to Invercauld, have
been taken by F. R. Magennis, Esq., and H. D. Drum-
mond, Ecq. 'rho party arrived on Saturday last, and
on Monday, being very rainy, nothing was done. At
Glendye, Sir James Carnegie, Barr., killed 63 brace ou
the 12th; Sir James G. Bard, 301 brace; and Captain
Carnegie, 3.91- brace. Tee accounts of the success of
spurting parties en the Deeside moors have hitherto
gene ahead c f those noted from almost every other
quarter; and there is, therefore, little doubt that his
Royal Highness Prince Albert will enjoy excellent sport
on the Balmoral and Abergeldie grounds when Le ar-
rives.— Aberdeen Journal.

NEW COURT.

(Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.)
AN IRRECLAIMABLE THlEF.—Henry Tucker, 19,
tailor, pleaded guilty to an indictment for stealing a coat
two pair of trousers, and other article., the property of
Lord Ashley.
Mr. PAYNE appeared for the prosecution, and said
that in this case the prisoner had been before convicted
and sent to Tothill-fields, and having been recommended
by the chaplain of that prison as a fit object. he was ad-
mitted in April to the Ragged Dormitory, Westminster,
intended for the reception and preparation of persons
for emigration under Lord Ashley's plan. He stayed
until the middle of July, when he absconded with the

FitANCII:.

The Ptecse states that severe orders have been is-
sued by the Prefect of Police for the seizn.ve of all
prints of a MonarchizAl or Legiri!nist tendency.
During the last week, it says, more than 20,000 por
traits of the Count de Gh.-,mhord have been seized and
taken to the Prefecture. It Ldds that the zeal of the
police agents has been carried so far as to seize prints
representing Charles X. and Loui4 XVIII.

GERMANY.

According to the Cologne Gazette, the intention
which the thvarian and VVurtemburg Governments
had of forming a corps of observation on the Lover
Maine, or the Central Rhine, has been abandoned for
the present.

A letter from Frankfort of the 15th says—" The
Prussian Government, fearing that the Customs
Union between Belgium and France which is spoken
of may be effected, has resolved to make some con-
cession to Belgium, and to renew its treaty of com-
merce with that country."
A letter from Berlin, of the 17th, in the Cologne
Gazette, says—" Yesterday our Government received
the invitation of the Cabinet of Vienna to send a
Minister to the restricted Federal Council. It is
unnecessary to say that Prussia refuses to accept the
invitation. In yesterday's sitting of the provisional
College of the Princes the question of a war between
Prussia and Austria was discussed. Yet, notwith-
stanling all this, it is believed that all will terminate
amicably."
The German Gazette of Vienne, of the 18th, says
that the corps d'arnieo of Vorarlberg has received
orders to leave for Holstein, under the command of
the Archduke Albert.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

A letter from Copenhagen of the 12th inst. gives
some farther account of the modification of the Danish
Ministry. The Count de Moltke, lately Minister of
Foreign Affairs, remains President of the Council, a
post which he has occupied since 1848. The port-
folio of Foreign Affairs passes into the hands of M.
11.?edlz de Palsg•aard, well known in diplomatic mat-
ters, who, conjointly with M. de Pechlin, Danish Mi-
nister at the Diet of Frankfort, concluded last month
the treaty of peace with Prussia. M. D'Lsminger is
appointed Minister of Mlrine ad interim, and Count
de Reventlow-C:hninil has the ad interim portfolio of
the Interior and of Justice.

Letters from Hambnrgh state that the inaction of
the armies is generally attributed to the efforts of the
envoys of the foreign powers, who, it is said, have
been sent into the two camps to prevent the renewal
of hostilities.

The Cologne Gazette states, on the authority of a
letter from Lubeck, that orders had been sent by the
Russian Government to Cranstadt to hsve all the
vessels of war in that port immediately fitted out, and
sent on the 15th to join the fleet off the coat of Den-
mark.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Mr. Wright took his benefit last evening, and, as
might have been expected, the house was a bumper;
in fsct it was as full as the most adroit packing could
cram it, and many persons went away unable to se-
cure admittance. The performances were Paul Pry,
The Spito?fields Weaver, Domestic Economy, and
My Precious Betsy, in all of which Wright apt ears,
and is himself! ay, every inch himself! He acted
judiciously in selecting The Spita?fields Weaver
for his benefit. It was the first piece in which be
appeared before a London audience, and in which he
at once assumed the high position which he has ever
since held. The character of Sin-axon& is, more-
over, not that of a mere farceur—it is a bit of genuine
comedy, and we should like to see Mr. Wright
appear more frequently in pieces of this nature,
which are much more worthy of his high
talents than many in which he too often
appears. He was excellently supported. The Adelie
of Miss Emma Harding was a beautiful specimen of
genteel comedy of a very high order. Miss Harding
has made a vast advance in her professional career by
her very lady-like and artistica-1 delineation of this
character.
.The other performances went off with
great éclat, and the applause and laughter were
throughout vociferous.

FRIDAY EVENING,

He passed through Mulhausen en route, where an
enthusiastic Republican manifestation took place, the
only cry heard being Vive la Republique !
So:ne of the letters from Besancon state that, so
anxious was the Government to prevent the circula-
tion of the accounts of the bad reception given to
the PRESIDENT in that city, that the Republican paper
of that place was seized in its bureau, and at the
post-office.
General JUNG BAHADOOE, Prime Minister of Ne-
paul, and Ambassador to the Court of London, has
arrived in Paris.

A letter from Valenciennes of the 20th inst. states
that the damage caused by the inundations in that
neighbourhood ii immense. The entire country has
the appeaaance of a lake. Several of the inhabitants
have been drowned, together with a vast quantity of
cattle.

ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.

A magnificent romantic and equestrian Spectacle,
entitled Corse de Leon; or, The Brigand of
Savoy, was produced here last evening, with the most
triumphant success. The plot is taken from the cele-
brated romance by G. P. 11. James, and has been
adapted to the stage, with considerable dramatic
tact, by Mr. 'l'. G. Blake. Those acquainted with
the novel are aware that it aff,r(ls many opportuni-
ties for the display of equestrian spectacle, and of
these the adapter has judiciously availed himself.
The performances of the excellently trained and beauti-
ful stud of Mr. Batty in these scenes were admirable ;
the scenery was splendid, and the costumes magnificent.
The last scene was one of the most gorgeous displays
ever witnessed, and elicited rapturous applause from
a crowded and a delighted audience. There were
several incidental dances introduced in the course of
the piece, in which the Terpsichorean performances cf
Mr. and Mrs. llarvey were much and deservedly ap-
plauded. The dancing of this lady and gentleman
would have done credit to the boards of a theatre in
which ballet is made much more of a feature than it
is at Astley'e. The scenes in the circle were of the
usual high order of merit, and the gloriously success-
ful pantomime of Yankee Doodle concluded the even-
ing's entertainment. The house was crowded.

NAVAL OBITUARY.

DEATH or RSTIRED REAR-ADMIRAL STUPART.—
This gallant officer died at Exmouth, Devon, a few
days since, aged 75. He was youngest son of Robert
Stupart, Esq., of Burton House, Christchurch, Hants.
He entered the navy in 1781.2, embarked July, 1790,
in the Windsor Castle, 74; was made Lieutenant,
September, 11'96, and in June, 1799, commanded one
of three of the Queen's (32) boats in an attack made
on the harbour of La Seva, near Cape de Creux, on
La Belle Aurore, a richly laden polacre, mounting
nine carriage guns, which vessel was most gallantly
boarded, carried, and brought out, although defended
by 113 men, secured by a boarding netting, and sup-
ported by a battery and a large body of men at small
arms on the shore, in which affair three were killed
and Mr. Stupart and nine others were badly wounded.
This exploit was officially stated to be equal to any en-
terprise recorded in the naval history of Great Britain.
He was not promoted until 1802, and was posted in
1810, for beating off, when in command of the
Emulous, brig, near Puerto river, a French frigate.
The action, which WAS within pistol-shot, was main-
tained for an hour and thirty-five minutes, when the
enemy wore and made sail on the other tack, leaving
the Emulous with her sails, masts, and rigging, so
entirely cut to pieces, as to oblige her to be kept be-
fore the wind to save the lower masts from falling.
The enemy was pierced for 24 guns on the main
deck, and had 22 French 24-pounders mounted, be-
sides eight of a smaller calibre on the quarter-deck
and forecastle, with several swivels, and appeared very
full of men. When she wore she had only two guns
left on the side she had been engaged on. The Bri-
tish loss was nine killed on the spot, and thirteen
wounded—eight mortally. Captain :Stupart did not
leave the Emulous until (February, 1811, and after
fifteen years' service on full pay. He could not ob-
taind employment as a captain, and in 1846 accepted
the retirement. The gallant deceased's eldestixoenter

while in charge of a prize brig, after a brave defence.

raiso, charging Mr. Henry Stephen bullivan, British
Charge d'Affaires to the Governor of Chili, with

and Mr. Hawkins for the defendants.
This was an action by which the plaintiff sought to

named Halstead, and eon which the plaintiff alleged
he had advanced the suns of 150/. to a person named
Cottrell, to enable him to take a public-house, culled
the Town of Leith, in the neighbourhood of Wapping.
The defence was that the ce'endants were entitled to
seize upon the goods in question as the a3sigreci of
Halstvad, to who: e estate it was alleged they belonged.
The details of the case presented no feature of the
slightest public interest. The trial occupied a portion
of yesterday, and was not likely to conclude until a late
hour to-day.
