EXETER HALL.

Mr- Sims Reeves has resumed his position as tenor
singer in the concerts given here on Wednesdays,
after a long absence, during which he has been
fulfilling provincial engagements. The notoriety and
favour he enjoys with the general public ensured him
a warm reception by a very crowded audience. The
programme was a little better than usual, as regards
some of the selections, and the vocalists. The former
included some of the best pieces from Lucia di Lam-
mermoor, together with some miscellaneous vocal
pieces, one or two of which were good, a solo (the
fantasia on airs from Otello) by Ernst, and a piano-
forte solo by Thalberg. The vocalists were, in addition
to Mr. Beeves, Miss Dolby, Miss Lucombe, Miss
Poole, Miss ijEyles, Mrs. A. Newton, Mr. Land, and
Mr. Leffler.

PANORAMA OF THE ARC TIC

EXPEDITION.
An exhibition of peculiar interest is now opened
to public inspection in the Haymarket—being
Hamilton's grand moving panorama of the Arctic
expedition and discoveries. A visit to the gallery of
the exhibition, which is almost immediately adjoining
the little theatre in the Haymarket, will be amply re-
paid, the spectators having there an opporiunity of wit-
nessing, for the first time, all the magnificent scenery
of Baffin's Bay, Davis' Straits, Lancaster Sound,
Prince Regent's Inlet, Leopold's Island. Fury Beach,
&c., &c.; also, the perils of the expedition—winter
quarters—cutting through the ice—nni all the most
interesting discoveries made by Sir James Ross,
Parry, and Franklin, with the manners and customs
of the Esquimaux (from authentic drawings by
Sir James Ross, Captains Lyons, and Beechey)—a
novel representation of the extraordinary phenomena
of the aurora borealis, and other luminary effects
peculiar to these mysterious regions being likewise
introduced. •

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Bliss Vendenhoff made her first appearance for the
season last evening, in the character of Pauline Des-
chappelles, in Bulwer's Lady of Lyons. It is some
years since she appeared on the metropolitan boards,
but the reception she met with last evening proved
that in the interval she had not been forgotten. It
was enthusiastic in the extreme. ber acting last
evening she showed a perfect knowledge of all the
resources of her art, which it is evident she has studied
most carefully. There is not an artiste on the stage
who understands so thoroughly as does Miss Vanden-
hoff the force of contrast, and by her supremacy over
this branch of her art her acting last evening was
rendered very effective and full of power; the energy
with which she gave the more impassioned
scenes contrasting beautifully with the tenderness
and pathos which she infused into the more senti-
mental portions of the character. The whole of the
last act was excellently performed, and inthe course of
it Miss Vand, nhoti not unfrtquently compelled the
audience to pay to her the tribute of their tears. Mr.
Anderson was the Claude Melnotte, and as he is de-
cidedly the best Claude Melnotte on the stage, so is
Claude Melnotte, with the exception, perhap, of
Huon, his best character. Mrs. Winstanley made
an admirable Madame Deschapelles. She seemed a
perfect incarnation of haughtiness and pride.
This lady has already secured to herself a high
position, and she may aspire to one still higher. She
is the only lady at present on the stage who can
approach Mrs. Clover in her peculiar line. The
theatre was crowded in every part, and considering
the short time that Mr. Anderson has been in pos
session of the theatre, he has done wonders in getting
together such a company, and in putting plays on
the stage in the manner he has done.

value, wero sent from the treasury on duo receipt,
through the interrnedium of a Wallachian agent, but
I defy Count Zichy to show that KoLsuth ever re-
tained, received, or handled any portion of this or any
other national property.
The Zichys are unfortunate, one having been shot
by the Austrians, the other hanged by his country•
men as a traitor ; but this is no reason why Count
Edmond should calumniate Kossuth, who never
sanctioned that nor any other political execution.

ITALY

The Risorgimento of Turin publishes a royal de-
cree of the 14th ult., approving. of the union of the
two banks of Genoa and Turin, under the title of
National Bank.

In the sitting of the 27th ult. of the Chamber of
Deputies of Turin, the verification of the elections
was continued. The elections of MM. Guna.o, SUe•
SARELLO, and SERRA were annulled, on account of
their being State functionaries.
Count TERENCE MAMIANI has addressed the fol-
lowing letter, dated Genoa, Dec. 16, to the director
of the Consigliatore :
" Recenre my sincerest thanks for the interest you
and your friends have taken in my election. I thought
I had given sufficient proofs of the moderation of my
opinions to spare the Ministry any anxiety on the ground
of my election to Parliament; it appears I was mistaken.
Banishod from Rome, excluded from the Piedmonteso
representation, I should have no ambition or desire, save
that of returning to my dear studies, and of ending my
days in repose and tranquillity, it I saw the liberty of
this country safe. As usual, I have neither sought nor
solicited the honour of being a deputy; the suffrages of
the electors have been spontaneously given to me, and
I should have failed in my duty had I refused the oppor-
tunity of joining with those who share my opinions in
upholding the statute, from which depends, as I firmly
believe, the future tate of Italy."
The Nazionale of Florence of the 25th ult. men-
tions a case of violation of territory committed by
some Papal soldiers on the Tuscan frontier, neap
Latnone. A Tuscan peasant had crossed the frontier
to shoot some game, but being surprised by seven
Papal carabineers he hastened back to his own ter-
ritory. The carabineers having fired at him without
effect, pursued him beyond the frontier, and repeatedly
fired, but still without hitting him. Not content
with this violation, they searched the cottage del
Fiume for the fugitive, and ill-treated the inhabitants,
and after committing the same outrages at the cot-
tages of Vallone, retired to the Papal territory.

RATING OF IRISH RAILWAYS.

The Poor-law Commissioners have issued an order
with a view to put a stop to the serious expenses and
inconvenience occasioned to the railway companies in
being obliged to appeal against the poor-law valuations
of railway property in the several unions through
hich the lines pass. The Commissioners consider
that a uniform system of rating should be adopted, and
the principle of rating on the profits should he applied
as soon as any section of a railway is opened for
traffic. The gross income of the entire railway is
taken for one year, from which the working expenses
have to be deducted, together with an allowance of
23 per cent. for tenants' profits, and wear and
tear on the capital invested in locomotives,
carriages, and vans. The balance remaining
is the net annual value of the entire
railway, in-
,cluding stations. An estimated value
c,f the several
stations is then made out, the aggregate an:.
qun.t of
which being deducted from the net annual value or
,The
entire railway, leaves the value of the line; this suns
divided by the number of miles in length, will give
the value per mile, to be paid in the several unions or
parishes, in proportion to the length of railway

their desires; they saw them under aspects unknown to,
and ucseen by common men, end which enabled them to
c.eiceive and execute those hardy enterprises. deemed
rash and foolish, till their wisdom was established by
their success. It is in fact the great passions alone
which enable men to' distinguish between what is diffi-
culz, and what is impossible: a distinction always con-
founded by merely sensihle men; who do not even suspect
the existence of those means, which men Of genius
employ to effect their object. It is only passion which
gives a man that high enthusiasm for his country, and
makes him regard it as the only object worthy.of human
attention ; —an enthusiasm, which to common eyes
appears madness and extravagance • but which always
creates fresh powers of mind, and commonly ensures
their ultimate success. In fact, it is only the great
passions, which, tearing us away from the seductions of
indolence, endow us with that continuity of attention, to
which alone superiority of mind is attached. It is to
their passions alone, under the providence of .God, that
nations must trust, when perils gather thick about them,
and their last moments seem to be at hand. The history
cf the wcrld shows us that men are not to be counted
by their numbers, but by the fire and vigour of their
passions; by their deep sense of injury; by their memory
of past glory; by their eagerness fur fresh fame; by their
clear and steady resolution of ceasing to live„ or of
achieving a particular object, which, when it is once
formed, strikes off a load of manacles and chains, and
gives free space to all heavenly and heroic feelings. All
great and extraordinary actions come from the heart.
There are seasons in human affeirs, when qualities fit
enough to conduct the common business of life, are
feeble and useless; and when men must trust to emotion,
for that safety winch reason at such times can never give.
These are the feelings which led the ten thousand over
the Carduchien mountains; these are the feelings by
which a handful of Greeks broke in pieces the power of
Persia: they have, by turn, humbled Austria, reduced
Spain; and in the fens of the Dutch, end on the moun-
tains of the Swiss, defended the happiness, and revenged
the oppressions of man! God calls all the passions out
in their keenness and vigour, fur the present safety of
mankind. Anger, and revenge, and the heroic mind,
and a readiness to suffer;—all the secret strength, all the
invisible array, of the feelings,—all that nature has
reserved for the great scenes of the world. For the
usual hopes, and the common aids of man, are all gone!
Kings have perished, armies are subdued, nations moul-
dered away! Nothing remains, under God, but those
passions which have oten proved the best ministers of
His vengeance, and the surest protectors of the world.—
Sydney Smith.

GERMAN Y.

On the 23d ult. the Austrian Government published
an edict, giving the sole superintendence and control
of education to the Benedictines. The measures re-
cently adopted by Austria for increasing the power
and the influence of the clergy are extremely unpo-
pular, and will eventually lead to an outbreak, which
nothing but the presence of her enormous army
prevents, and the state of her finances is such that she
cannot much longer maintain such an army on foot.
The Jesuits, who have been recalled, being about to
establish a Mission House at Kotzeldorf, in Bohemia,
the inhabitants of that place petitioned the authorities
not to permit it. The petitioners say—" Missionaries
are very good in foreign lands, but are superfluous in
orthodox parishes. Too many priests in a village are
unfavourable to domestic peace and happiness. Their
presence would tend either to stultify the people in
religious matters, or, by exciting heterodox reflections
concerning dogmatic subjects, lead to schisms, sad
ultimately to apostAcy.

GERMANY.

On the 23d ult. the Austrian Government published
an edict, giving the sole superintendence and control
of education to the Benedictines. The measures re-
cently adopted by Austria for increasing the power
and the influence of the clergy are extremely unpo-
pular, and will eventually lead to an outbreak, which
nothing but the presence of her enormous army
prevents, and the state of her finances is such that she
cannot much longer maintain such an army on foot.
The Jesuits, who have been recalled, being about to
establish a Mission louse at Kotzeldorf, in Bohemia,
the inhabitants of that place petitioned the authorities
not to permit it. The petitioners say—" Missionaries
are very good in foreign lands, but are superfluous in
orthodox parishes. Too many priests in a village are
unfavourable to domestic peace and happiness. Their
presence would tend either to stultify the people in
religious matters, or, by exciting heterodox reflections
concerning dogmatic subjects, lead to schisms, and
ultimately to apostacy."
