of three years of Tory legislation 1 Never yet was so
fine an opportunity of regaining the affections of an
excitable, but generous-minded people so utterly—so
wantonly thrown away, as if in sheer contempt, as
has been done by the present Cabinet. When they
entered upon office in 1840 the game was in their
own hands, and they had only to play it fairly to
play it successfully. They had ample power, both
within and without the walls of Parliament, to enter
upon the great work of Irish pacification with
every prospect of a fortunate result. England
had not yet found cause to distrust them—
Ireland was willing to hope—and even the an-
tagonist Orange party had lost much of its old in-
fluence, and concurrently with this, much also of its
old bigotry and inveteracy of purpose. But Ministers,
with that strange hallucination which ever clings to
Toryism—no matter how mild and modified be the
form which it assumes—neglected one by one all the
advantages of their position. With the words of promise
continually on their lips, they did little or nothing for
Ireland. Session after session came and went, and
still found the acknowledged grievances of the sister-

OPEN EVERY EVENING.
The greatest triumph ever known in England ! Mdlle. Rossini, the
Wonder of the Musical World!! !
" Mille. Rossini is a pretty young Lady, who has acquired a per.
fact mastery over the Violin' using her bow with confidence, ere.
eating rapid passages with facility, and producing a tone both sweet
and powerful. la fact, she is a very clever young Lady."—Times
" Mdlle. Rossini played two grand Fantasias on the Violin with
admirable execution and effect, and with a skill and command that
drew from the audience repeated bursts of applause "—Post.
" This young Lady:execcuted some very difficult music, with the
readiness and finish of a perfect artiste, and displayed her mastery
over the somewhat novel instrument in a Lady's hands, the Violin,
by giving the modern ' effects,' the pizaicate, the h...rmonies, and
other embellishments of the Paganini school, in a style which called
ferth rgyeated plaudits."—Herald.

Theatre, and were highly delighted and equally astonished at her
Performances. 1 betels about her playing a fineness and precision
of touch, and a freedom of bowing, which we should not have ex-
pected from a Lady. Her purity and correctness of tone are truly
wonderftil. In a Grand Scotch Fantasia, she introduced the beau.
tifbl Air of Auld Robin Gray,' and gave it with an expressive
pathos, a thrilling tenderness of tone, that reminded us strongly of the
Pathetic style of Miss Stephens' voice In the same Ballad. She was
admirably supported by the members of the Collini Family."—Sun.
Never was triumph so brilliant. The Adelphl is nightly crowded
by audiences most fashionable, classic, scientific, and the musical
elite, who pronounce Bldlle. ROSSINI to be the Paganini of the day.
The Great Wizard of the North begs to refer the Public to the cri-
tiques in the Ilmes, Post, Herald, Sun, and all the leading Weekly
Journals, on Mdlle. ROSSINI'S extraordinary powers on the Violin.
These are the best credentials he can offer. To his own unparelleled
Entertainment he is nightly adding NEW WONDERS. He will
sightly appear with the above highly gifted Laly, and prove, by
ocular demonstration, that he is the Great Professor of NATURAL
MAGIC and EXPRIMENTAL PHILOSOPHY.

cost of 60,000 guineas, and to completely illustrate, in the most in-

LOUIS XIV., to the deaths of GEORGE 111., and the EMPEROR
NAPOLEON, in 1821. This unique Museum has been visited often,
during the last and present year, by the Royal Family, the Duke of
Wellington, the Foreign Princes, Ambassadors, and their Ladles,

prietor bes recently been able to increase, by several very fine
pictures, Ice., his previous almost incredible number and variety of
ANS, Works of Art, and a multitude of valuable Relics, and other
euriositice, in this most instructive and, as hundreds have said it
Might to he, a National Museum. Many thousand have inspected It,
and THIRTY PRINCIPAL EDITORS of the PUBLIC PRESS
have stated that it ought to be'seen by every use. The price of admis-

The NAPOLEON MUSEUM is to be seen only at the " Egyptian Hall." riVeadillY, daily from Ten till Dusk.

A handbill has been forwarded to us with the
heading " NICHOLAS of Russia in England ! ! !" and
announcing that a public meeting will be held on
Thursday, the 6th of June, in the National Hall,
High Holborn, for the purpose of ascertaining how
far the people of England are prepared to welcome to
their country the Russian EMPEROR. The rest of
the handbill is filled up with personal abuse of the
EMPEROR, and with a detailed list of all the cruelties
inflicted on the inhabitants of Poland. Against these
cruelties no journal has protested in stronger lan-
guage, or with more sincerity of purpose, than The
Sun—and that fact the Poles in this country grate-
fully acknowledge. May we ask them and their
friends to grant us one favour in return, and that is,
to avoid everything like insult to the AUTOCRAT while
he is in a manner the guest of this great nation.
England is ever hospitable, and her people would be
the last in the world to heap abuse on a Sovereign
who had come among them, trusting to their gene-
rous and open dispositions, and anxious, perhaps, to
improve himself by witnessing their free institutions.
We, therefore, trust that no hostile demonstration
will be made on the occasion, and that at all events
the friends of Poland will respect the feelings of our
gracious and beloved SOVEREIGN, who, under the pre-
tressed by any
nt peculiar circumstances, would be greatly dis-
insult offered to her Royal Guest.

The House then adjourned at a Quarter past Seven

Every day's experience tends more and more to
corroborate the " great fact" that the Tories—or
Conservatives as they now call themselves, though it
is their name only, not their nature that they have
changed—cannot govern Ireland. Sir ROBERT
PEEL'S " chief difficulty" becomes more embarrassing
and complicated with every twenty-four hours that
passes over his head. It is not yet quite a week since
sentence of imprisonment was passed on Mr. O'CON-
NELL ; and 10, instead of the lethargy and gradual
dying out of the flame of Repeal, on which Ministers
seem to have so confidently calculated, the flame
burns fiercer than ever ; popular passions, compara-
tively dormant for some five or six months past,
are revived with more than their former virulence and
activity ; and the hatred of Tory rule, which in the
eyes of Irishmen is synonymous with Tory oppression,
is no longer confined to this or that district, but is
spreading like wild-fire throughout the sister country !
How stands the Repeal Rent, which is a pretty accu-
rate barometer of the feelings of the people ? For
the last week—that is to say, the week in which the
Liberator's imprisonment took place—the sum re-
ceived at the Conciliation Hall was not less than two
thousand five hundred and ninety-six pounds ! No
proof of the declining popularity of the Repeal cause
here. The amount of Mr. O'CONNELL'S fine is ac-
tually paid in hard cash within seven days,
cheerfully and without a murmur, by the public
subscriptions of the poorest country in Europe !
Leaving this fact to have its due weight with the
reader, let us next consider the language held at the
last meeting of the Dublin Repealers. Here are the
sentiments of Mr. SMITH O'BRlEN—one of the most
intelligent and influential Irishmen of his day, and
second only to the Liberator in popularity—coolly
and deliberately spoken in presence of hundreds,
perhaps we ought rather to say thousands, of his ex-
cited countrymen :—" What would be the effect of
the events of the past week ? For his ewn part,
when he heard the sentence pronounced which con-
signed Mr. O'CONNELL to a gaol, he felt that the
doom of the Union was in those words. Vestigia
nulla retrorsuni, should be now their motto. The bridge
had been cut away behind them, and for the future no
man would dare to talk of any compromise. He conjured
the Roman Catholics of Ireland of all ranks to come
forward at the present juncture." There are no evi-
dences of shrinking here ! The language of tile speaker
is not that of hesitation and despondency ; and if we
may judge from the immense number of public meet-
ings that are announced to take place immediately
throughout the country, the sentiments held by Mr.
01.13ano; are cordially responded to by the vast ma-
jority of Irishmen. Such are the first fruits of the
PEEL policy as regards Ireland ! Such the resu
