Royal family, walked and rode as usual.
Sir James Clerk left Osborne early this morning

Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-
office from the Governors of the North American

SIR EDWARD BULWER LYTTON.
Our readers will share in the cordial satisfaction
with which we publish the following letter. We con-
cur in Sir Edward Lytton's opinion both of the ave-
rage quality of talk and of the rumour in question
(seeing it is, happily, without foundation) ; yet we
think the public will hardly regret any circumstance
which may elicit eve❑ half-a-dozen lines from the
author of the " Last of the Barons :"

THE H. ,EP ÜBLI C.

We have received the Paris j,urnals of yesterday.
General CHANGAUNIER• is even more displeased
with General SCHRAMM than he was with General
D'HAUTPOUL, and complains of the address of the new
Minister of War to the army as an insult addressed
personally to himself; he i also greatly annoyed at
the -removal of Genera NIEUMAYER, his " fidus
Achees," from the command of his division, and con-
siders it as a prelude to his own dismissal.

DIP police have been very busy in getting up a
sham conspiracy at Lyons, for the purpose of
enabling the authorities to remove several persons
who are opposed to the Government, and among
them M. GENT, from the city. These persons have
been arrested ; they will probably be never brought
to trial, but after being detained a few months be
dischirged. France, unfortunately, has no Habeas
Corpus Act.

A:l. DUPONT DE L'EuRE has addressed a letter to
the National approving of the resolution adopted by
the Wpoblican party to abstain from voting at the
ensuing election of a representative for the depart-
ment of the North.

The director of the Opinion Publique is to appear
before the Court of Assizt- to answer for having copied
an article from the Corsaire containing an offence to
the PRESIDENT Of the Republic. _ _

G:-neral DE BOURJOLLT has addressed a letter to
the Evinernent, denying that his differences with Ge-
reral D'llAuirouL arose either from any act of his
Ministry, or because he had promised him the Go-
vernment of Algeria.

The equestrian fete, which was to have taken place
at the Champ de Mars on Sunday, was postponed in
consequence of the bad weather, after an immense
multitude had collected there. Some confusion arose
in consequence of the disappointment.
Snow has already fallen at Tarbes and at PALI in
large quantities.

ITALY.

Letters from Turin, of the 23d inst., announce that
on the 22d a deputation, composed of inhabitants and
of refugees, presented to the Government the plan of
a national workhouse for refugees. The Minister of
the Interior presented the plan to the KING. His
MAJESTY approved of it. The Duke ANTONIO LISTA
is appointed president of the committee; and Signor
ROMEO ANDREA, of Naples, president of the commit.
tee of Neapolitan emigrants, is appointed vice-presi-
dent. The committee is authorised by the Govern-
ment to take measures to carry the plan into exe-

The accounts from the continental bourses speak of
heaviness as the chief Characteristic of prices. At Amster-
dam and Hamburgh the tendency was towards decline, sales
having increased within the last few days.
The accounts of the state of trade in the provinces
for the past week continue to show great steadiness in con-
sequence of the general demand for immediate use, while the
high prices of the raw material prevent all tendency to specu-
lation. At Manchester the beneficial effects of the last
Indian advices have been manifested, but the continental pur-
chases, although considerable, have been in some degree
affected by the uncertainties of the German question.
London, England, 1850-10-29

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

Papers from the Cape of Good Hope have •been re-
ceived to the 14th of August. Affairs at Cape-town
were progressing smoothly, and since the final ar-
rangement of the convict question nothing had
occurred to disturb the harmony existing between
Sir Harry Smith and the colonists. The accounts
from Natal were encouraging. The new Lieute-
nant-Governor was working zealously to bring
the Administration into popular favour, and
the majority of his measures were regarded with
consideration. The developement of the settlement
was gradually becoming more apparent, and the
cultivation of cotton was steadily increasing on the
?ea coast, with every prospect of ultimate success.
Great jealousy was manifested by the Boers re-
specting the admission of strangers into the Vaal
River district, and two travellers who had attempted
to penetrate into that territory had been compelled
to 8 t•ek another route. Pretorius was still in that
neighbourhood, and had, it was thought, permanently
settled down there with his followers. The accounts
from the frontier mention that depredations continued
to be committed among the farmers by the natives,
but excepting in one case where murder is alleged to
have followed from an attempt to arrest the parties,
they were not cotnmorily of an alarming description.
The appearance of Kafir fever at Natal had occa-
sioned some little uneasiness. With respect to the
passengers by the Minerva, the vessel lately wrecked
off the port, it is stated that a subscription had been
entered into for their relief, and that a memDrial to
the Government had been signed by many of the
leading residents praying for an official inquiry to
ascertain if the disaster was (idling to accidental
causes or entirely to the nature of the coast, so that
if the latter should prove to be the case efforts may be
made to provide a remedy.
" Various rumours," it is remarked, " are of course
afloat, but there seems to be a feeling among the in-
fluential class here that any judgment would be pre-
mature before the result of a thorough investigation
is known. They are, however, naturally anxious that
this occurrence may not unfairly prejudice shipowner
and underwriters against the place. They court
inquiry on this point. They feel confident that the
roadstead is not more dangerous than those of Tel le
and Algoa Bays; many even contend that it is less
dangerous than those places, inasmuch as they are
strictly bays, and ships must hold their ground or go
ashore. This is a straight line of coast with good
anchorage, and there is, it is alleged, a fair chance
for vessels to get out to sea. Moreover, when the
resources of the colony will enable the authorities to
throw open the inside harbour to ships of all sizes,
the port will bear comparison in point of safety with
any in the world, and ships will find here a harbour
such as, with the exception of Saldanba Bay only,
does not exist along the whole southern coast of
Africa."

DISPUTED MITE POLICIES.

" A trial of considerable Interest to Life Assurance Offices and the
public was concluded yesterday in the Court of Exchever. The
Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 539/. in the Albion
Company as security for an advance, the payment of which policy
was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it
was effected the fact of the assured party having hem a man of hi-
temperate habits was concealed from the office. The chief evidence
turne upon the question as to the degree of intemperance that had
been exhibited, and the recruit was, that a verdict was giticll against
the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for
401. interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance
Of the action being brought by one office against another presents a
striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po-
licies under the present system, and shows that the only mode by
wlrch absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the
general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of proteeting them-
selves in every case by due inquiries before the grAntim f each po-
licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility of the com-
pleteness of such inquiries by holding themselves precluded from
raising any future question. In the present case two offices are
found to be diametrically opposed in their opinions as tc what can
properly invalidate a claim, and yet the public are expected to be
able to genre themselves against such contingences. Similar cases
have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would
seriously injure the progress of life assurance. The very principle
upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty,
and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree,
tae people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the
first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.

THE LAW'S DELAYS.

SCENE AT THE DEPARTURE OF THE STEAM-SHIP
AFRICA.—A remarkable scene occurred on the river
on Saturday, on the eve of the royal mail steam-
ship Africa's departure with the mails for New
York. We believe the circumstances are briefly
as follows :—On account of a private and peculiar
business transaction at New Orleans, two gentlemen
of Sligo conceived that they had :a claim against Mr.
Muir, her Majesty's Consul at New Orleans, for
a sum of 4501. Mr. Muir was about to leave England,_
on Saturdak , to resume the duties of his consulate;
but the creditors named obtained a judge's warrant
and dispatched a sheriff's officer to arrest the consul
on his departure from this port. Shortly before the
hour appointed for the Africa's departure Mr. Fry, the
officer, procured a four-oared gig, and, accompanied
by a Liverpool officer, went on board the
steam-ship, seized his prey, and carried him on
board the steam-tender Satellite, which then lay
alongside the Africa. Offers of an arrangement were
made, with security for three times the amount
claimed, but the officer refused all. Mr. Muir being
surrounded by many friends, a fray was fast becoming

ADELPHI THEATRE:

A " Screamer," from the pen of Mark Lemon, wss
produced here last evening, under the title of The
School for Tigers ; or the Shilling Hop, and achieved
a true Adelphi success. Panels (Wright), after having
for many years been the first whip among the coach-
men of the aristocracy, and having " druv two Rus-
sian Ambassadors," retires from the box to the coun-
ter, and assisted by his pretty daughter (Miss Col-
lins), opens a cigar shop, and also gives instruction
to youths aspiring to be tigers. This school for
tigers is admirably managed ; there is a class of
twenty of them, all attired in tights and tops,
who are regularly instructed and catechised by
Wright. The dialogue in this scene is full of ad-
mirable hits at the lollies of society, and each hit is
delivered with most telling effect. Among the other
tigers there is one, a rustic boy fresh from the
country, admirably acted by Miss Woolgar, who, at
first the object of the ridicule of the class, soon surpasses
them all, and becomes the very model tiger of tigers.
There are sundry love passages between this youth and
the daughter of the coachman, which were excellently
given by Miss Woolgar and Miss Collins, who acted
with great sprightliness and point. The Adelphi
young laiies looked admirably in their tops and tights.
Miss Woolgar as the rustic, was beautifully natural,
and Wright was excessively funny. The applause at
the conclusion was immense, and Wright and Miss
Woolgar were called before the curtain. The house
was crammed to suffocation.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

After the performance of Stirling Coyne's grace-
ful comedy of My Wife's Daughter, at this theatre
last evening, a most humorous, mirth-provoking, good
old fashioned broad farce was produced, entitled
Allow me to Apologise. This farce is of the good
old Liston school, and since the days of Liston we
have seen no such rich and unctious representation of
stolid self-satisfaction, of aptitude for perpetually
getting into scrapes, of panic terror when in
them, and of utter inability to get out of
them, as that of Compton, as Goliah Goth,
in Mr. Wooller's new farce Allow me to Apologise.
The nature of the character may be imagined from
the name ; Goliah Goth, the original Goth, as he
boasts himself, imagines that he may do or say what he
likes provided he is ready to apologise. " I beg to
apologise" with him settles every score. At length,
however, Goliah is, as he expresses it, in " a fix" ; he
has been introduced to two young ladies, wards of Sir
Peter Pedigree, has made love, and offend to both,i,in-
tending to marry the richest when he shall have dis-
covered which that is, and to apologise to the other ; but
the girls having compared notes agree both to accept
him before he shall have had time to make his inqui-
ries. Under these circumstances poor Goth has no-
thing left for it but to sham mad, which he does to
the great terror of Sir Peter Pedigree (capitally acted
by Mr. G. Cooke), who is always talking of his dead
relations, and to the great amusement of the young
ladies. At length an explanation follows, and Goth
is allowed to apologise, and thus escapes. Since the
days of Liston we have seen nothing that is so near
an approach to him as the Goliah Goth of Compton ;
he kepkthe house in a roar from the commencement to
the termination of the farce, and was called on at the
conclusion and cheered most heartily. The house was
very well attended.

ADELPHI THEATRE:

A " screamer," from the pen of Mark Lemon, was
produced here last evening, under the title of The
School for Tigers ; or the Shilling Hop, and achieved
a true Adelphi success. Panels (Wright), after having
for many years been the first whip among the coach-
men of the aristocracy, and having " druv two Rus-
sian Ambassadors," retires from the box to the coun-
ter, and assisted by his pretty daughter (Miss Col-
lins), opens a cigar shop, and also gives instruction
to youths aspiring to be tigers. This school for
tigers is admirably managed ; there is a class of
twenty of them, all attired in tights and tops,
who are regularly instructed and catechised by
Wright. Tne dialogue in this scene is full of ad-
mirable hits at the lollies of society, and each hit is
delivered with most telling effect. Among the other
tigers there is one, a rustic boy fresh from the
country, admirably acted by Miss Woolgar, who, at
first the object of the ridicule of the class, soon surpasses
them all, and becomes the very model tiger of tigers.
There are sundry love passages between this youth and
the daughter of the coachman, which were excellently
given by Miss Woolgar and Miss Collins, who acted
with great sprightliness and point. The Adelphi
young 'miles looked admirably in their tops and tights.
Miss Woolgar as the rustic, was beautifully natural,
and Wright was excessively funny. The applause at
the conclusion was immense, and Wright and Miss
Woolgar were called before the curtain. The house
was crammed to suffocation.

THE EXHIBITION OF 1851•

EDITOR
tartOirle TiHnEyoSuUrN.paper
of
TO TalinE excell
Excellent
Tuesday evening last you directed special attention
to several " eyesores and blemishes" in the metropolis,
which everybody must agree with you in thinking
ought to be removed before the period of the great
gathering of all nations to the Hvde-park Exhibition
of next year. You likewise notice one or two of our
public monuments and buildings, which also, for the
credit of the country, require to be completed by
that time. There is one important building, how-
ever, which you failed to mention, namely, the new
Howes of Parliament. When it is considered that,
next to the great "Glass Palace," this national edi-
fice will command the greatest share of curiosity and
attention from the multitudes then assembled, many
of whom will then have visited London for the first
and last time, it seems strange that the Government
has not made more strenuous efforts to bring it to a
state of completion. Two hundred hands employed
upon it during the last six months would have served
to have finished it externally, whereas during that
period there has scarcely been a man engaged upon
its walls. This at any rate is not setting the public
a very brilliant example of making earnest prepara-
tion, by way of " setting their houses in order," for
the celebration of so novel and auspicious an event as
the challenging the whole of mankind to witness and
compete with our attainments in science and the fine
and useful arts. It does not say much for the manner
in which her Majesty's Ministers, though through
the spontaneous generosity of the public they have
been relieved from all; pecuniary responsibility in re-
gard to this particular occasion, are disposed to
second and support the patriotic enterprise of his
Royal Highness the Prince Consort. It is, however,
not yet too late, if a hearty good will exists on the
part of the authorities, to render this great work
more worthy of general criti▪
cism and scrutiny. By
proper explanation it would, perhaps, be even possible
to get rid of the nervous timi▪ dity of the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, and the rest of the Ministers at the
dreaded names and more dreaded opposition of Mr.
Hume and Mr. Cobden. " For one night only," y as
the play bills say, these redoubtable champions of the
public purse, in so reasonable a cause, might be in-
duced to forego the severity of their audit of the
national expenditure. If firm
firmness of mind enough
could be mustered by the Minister, it might be easily
shown that it would redound to the public credit, and
not in the end diminish the public purse, to ficish
this structure at once and as it were off hand ;
and that the industrious labourers, artisans, and me-
chanics, with their wives and families, would be the
chief gainers by such an arrangement. In this great
undertaking the pride, and genius, and patriotism of
the British nation is at stake. Hoping, therefore,
that upon this interesting emergency the Govern-
ment, the press, and public at large, will all strenu-
ously combine to do their duty,
I remain, Sir, yours, &c.,

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
General CHANGARNIER is even more displeased
with General SCHRAMM than he was with General
D'HAUTPOI3L, end complains of the address of the new
Mini:ffter of ►Var to the army as an insult addressed
pers.alaity to himself; he is elso greatly annoyed at
the -removal of General NIEUMAYER, his " fidus
Achates," from the command of his division, and con-
siders it as a prelude to his own dismissal.
The police have been very busy in getting up a
sham conspiracy at Lyons, for the purpose of
enabling the authorities to remove several persons
who are opposed to the Government, and among
them M. GENT, front the city. These persons have
been arrested ; they will probably be never brought
to trial, but after being detained a few months be
discharged. France, unfortunately, has no Habeas
Corpus Act. _ _

AL DUFONT DE L'EunE has addressed a letter to
the _National approving of the resolution adopted by
the R.-publican party to abstain from voting at the
ensuing election of a representative for the depart-
'ment of the North.

The director of the Opinion Publique is to appear
before the Court of Assize to answer for having copied
a❑ article from the Corsaire containing an offence to

General Dr. BonaJoux has addressed a letter to
the Evinement, denying that his differences with Ge-
neral D'ilauTPOUL arose either from any act of his
Ministry, or because he had promised him the Go-
vernment of Algeria.
The equestrian fite, which was to have taken place
at the Champ de Mars on Sunday, was postponed in

in consequence of the disappointment.

THE FORTIFICATIONS IN MIL-
Foal) ii2I.VEN.
Government having at length been stimulated
.ith
to
undertake the defence of this unrivalled port, w
its magnificent and extensive naval arsenal, has just
catered into contract with Mr, Jackson for the
:ection of a Martell° tower on the Stack rock-
-3 site formed by nature for a fortification. More
man thirty men are actually at work there
levelling toe 111;63, so as to form a broad base
and sure foundation ; and there can be little doubt
from the activity and energy of the agent employed
to conduct the works, and his known ability, that the
undertaking—one of no trifling importance, when it is
taken into consideration that the building is to be
erected on a comparatively small rock in the middle of
the haven, exposed to the waves of the tempestuous
Atlantic ocean—will be completed within the specified
period, to hip own credit and the honour of Mr.
Jackson. If successfully executed, and of which no
doubts are entertained, Mr. W. Randle will indeed
have placed the keystone in the arch of confidence
and trust reposed in him by his highly responsible
employers. Tois is one of a series of fortresses
in execution and contemplation by the Board of
Ordnance. There are two enfilading the ap-
proaches to the dockyard, in a very forward state,
in positions reflecting great praise on the engineer
department, especially that of their resident
officer, Mr. Clark, on whose suggestions there is no
doubt they have been constructed. They are the
beau ideal of limestone buildings—this hard car-
bonaceous deposit being fashioned by clever stone
trimmers into various forms and shapes, as a boy
would a piece of malleable matter. In addition
to guns of the most powerful calibre traversing
on a platform, several others of heavy metal
" poke their noses out of various port holes."
Another and a still more powerful battery is in
contemplation to be erected on Thorn Island—a most
commanding position on the southern entrance of the
haven. Thus far as regards approaching the Go-
vernment establishments, through the mouth of the
harbour, " all's well," but we do hope the engi_
neer officers will not lose sight of an enemy

officers, and the ground purchased at no idconsider-
able expense. Those should at once be put in pro-
gress, and by thus procuring proper and efficient ac-
commodation for troops, the Martell° towers would

if not effected, will render these buildings useless in
the extreme.— Welshman.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Last night was signalised at this theatre by the re-
I appearance of Macready, the series of whose fare-
well performances has, alas! at length arrived. His
reception was most enthusiastic. The entrance of the
great tragedian on the scene of so many triumphs
was the signal for a burst cal' heartfelt and vehement
cheering, again and again renewed, a just and
honourable tribute to the long and bright career of
his transcendent abilities. The Macbeth of Ma-
cready needs no comment now. It is it the most
masterly of his Shaksperian delineations. The
agonising horror of the spectre-stricken mur-
derer in the banquet-scene, and the terrible
energy with which the usurper stands at bay,
fighting in his last stronghold for his blood-
stained crown, were rt‘nderad last evening by Mac-
ready with his wonted vigour and intensity, and drew
down thunders of applause. With scarely a percep-
tible failure in physical energy, and with a deeper
mellowness of tone, this illustrious artist quits the
stage in the fulness of his fame, in the autumnal rich-
ness of his glorious powers. The plaudits amidst
which the curtain descended were speedily inter-
mingled with loud calls for Macready, who bowed his
acknowledgments to as enthusiastic a band of spec-
tators as ever shook the walls of a theatre in tendering
a deserved meed of honour to so eminent a combina-
tion of professional and private worth. The compli-
ment sat. e call was likewise most fitly extended to
Mrs. Warner, whose Lady Macbeth was characterised
by the usual energy and judgment of that established
favourite of the play-going public; and to Mr. Da-
venport, an excellent and valuable performer,
who, in Macduff, gave evidence of sterling qualifi-
cations, which will, we doubt not, confirm in
other characters, the favourable impression which he
made upon the Haymarket audience on the occasion
of his first appearance before them last night. The
general getting-up of the piece is creditable to the
management, the supernatural department in par-
ticular being very effectively and carefully arranged.
Miss P. Horton, as Hecate, and the several ringing
witches, did due justice to Locke's sublime music,.and
Bland and Selby were able coadjutors in malignancy
with Stuart, whose representation of the principal
of the Weird Sisters was a most artistic and striking
development of the features of a part which, in ordi-
nary or careless hands, might pass unnoticed in the
general throng. The house was completely crowded,
every available seat being occupied at the rising of the
curtain.
