RUMOURED DEATH OF MR. JUSTICE ERSKINE.—
It was currently reported in Westminster Hall that
Mr. Justice Erskine died yesterday. The repot
is without foundation.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Last night will be long remembered in the annals of
her Majesty's Theatre as the night of the debut of Signor
Moriani, the greatest tenor who has appeared on these
boards for many a long day, and whose popularity, if
we mistake not, will exceed even that of Rubini. The voice
of Signor Moriani is the most astonishing we have ever
heard; in clearness, depth, and power, it is equal to that
of Donzelli in his best days; in expression and flexibility
it is quite equal to that of Rubini; and in compass it is
equal to both—that is to say Moriani's compass in the
lower notes is quite as low as the compass of Donzelli,
while in the upper notes he reaches as high as Rubini,
and that in his natural voice. Strictly speaking Moriani
has no falsetto, although his compass is quite as great
as the compass of those who make a free use of their
falsetto. Last night, for instance, in the character of
Edgardo, in Lucia di Lammermoor, the character chosen
for his debut, in the passage in the last scene—
" Fra poco a me riaovcro," he begins with what in ordinary
voices would be called a falsetto note, but he goes down,
note by note, fairly into the pure voce di petto without
the slightest break; so that what in other voices would be
a falsetto note is in his a natural note. If he has therefore
a falsetto voice, it is impossible to say where the natural
voice ends and the falsetto voice begins. Endowed by
nature with this wonderful organ, he has cultivated it to
the highest pitch of perfection. Nothing can exceed the
intensity of passion which he throws into its thrilling
tones; and it is not is expressive tenderness and thrilling
pathos alone that he is great. Indignation, rage, des-
pair, are equally at his command, and he is as
great an actor as he is a singer. His per-
son is fine and commanding, his features clas-
sical and expressive, and his demeanour at once im-
passioned and majestic. Never had the hero of high
tragedy a more appropriate representative. When he
came in in the last scene, dressed in deep mourning,
and inveloped in his large mantle, we were forcibly
struck by the resemblance which he bore to Sir Thomas
Lawrence's portrait of John Kemble in the character of
Hamlet. He is certainly the finest Edgardo we have
ever seen. We prefer him even to Rubini. In Rubini's
performance we were astonished and delighted at the mar-
vellous tact which he exhibited in avoiding the difficul.
ties of the part; in Moriani's performance we are more
astonished and more delighted' at the manner in
which those difficulties are fairly met and con-
quered. He was called for at the conclusion of
cich act, and when the curtain fell he had twice to make
his appearance before the audience—a compliment which
he appropriately acknowledged. He was admirably sup-
ported by Persiani, as Lucia, and Fornasari, as Enrico.
the performances were for the benefit of Perrot, and we
were glad to see that the house was crowded to excess.
We are sorry, however, to add, that in consequence of a
severe strain of the leg, Parrot was unable to make his
appearance, and in consequence the ballet of Zelia was
curtailed of its fair proportions.

HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS.
MADEMOISELLE JULIA HEINKE'S CONCERT.
This concert took place on Wednesday evening, at her
Majesty's Concert-rooms, Hanover-square. and a most
delightful concert it was. _ Among the vocal performers
we had Madame Castellan, Miss Duval, Madame de
Manara, Mr. Weiss, and Signor Murros. The latter
gentleman was deservedly encored in Donizetti's beauti-
ful romance, " Una furtiva lagrima," from L'Eli.sir
d'Amore. Among the instrumentalists the fair beneficiaire
herself performed Dohter's grand fantasia, from airs in
Benedict's opera of the Gipsy's Warning, with great
taste, and exhibited considerable powers of execution.
She is a most promising artist, and does great credit to
her instructor, Mr. Moscheles. The grand pianoforte
concertanti, " Hommage a Beethoven," was magnifi-
cently given by Mademoiselle Julia Heinke, D. Men-
delssohn, and Mr. Moscheles. At the commencement of
the second part, Herr Sachse performed a bravura
on the trumpet. Tbis gentleman is the most
extraordinary performer on the trumpet we have
ever heard. The trumpet in his hands becomes
a solo instrument, capable of every variety of
expression. His performance is certainly most won-
derful, and not less pleasing than wonderful. The star of
the evening, however, was Herr Gulomy, first violinist to
the Emperor of Russia, who made his first appearance in
this country last evening, and performed a grand fan-
tasia by Lipinsky, on airs from "La Cenerentola.,,
His performance was exquisite, there was no attempt at
trickery ; everything was done in the most elegant,
and at the same time in the most perfect, manner. He
was superb—the sweetness of his tones exceeded any-
thing we have ever heard. He is one of the most
legitimate violin performers we have ever heard. The
concert altogether was one of the most delightful of the
season.

motion, with Mr. Mackinnon, against it.

contains the whole prospects of our country. The conversion
of the floating debt into Three per Cents. yields from this
day to the Government above 60,000,000 a month, with
which it will not only be able to provide for the most press-
ing engagements of the Treasury, but also to assist the in-
dividuals to whom it is indebted, and who have had so much
to suffer from our revolution. We also know that M. Mon
thinks of settling with the San Fernando bank and the Cen-
tralization, provided their intentions be moderate. Lastly,
yesterday the money required for the payment, in the French
and English capitals, of the half-year's interest on the Three
per Cents. due at the end of June, was transmitted to Paris.
All these occurrences have exercised a favourable influence
over the Madrid Exchange, and we think that our paper will
reach, both in Spain and abroad, the rate it should have."
The Barcelona journals state that the Secretary of
the English Embassy had taken his departure for
Paris and London, with important dispatches, in re-
ference to a modification of the present Spanish tariff.
On the Madrid Bourse the Three per Cents. closed
at 27/ for cash, and 28/ at 60 days, and the Five per
Cents. at 20i for cash, and 20/ at 60 days.

The Paris papers of Tuesday contain a telegraphic
dispatch from Toulon, announcing that the fleet, under
the command of the Princeps JOINVILLE, had set sail
on Sunday, the 23d, for Oran. The squadron was
composed of the three sail of the line, Suffren, Jem-
mapes, and Triton, the Belle Poule frigate of 60,
Asmodeus man-of-war steamer, the steam-corvette
Pluton, and the steamers Phare and Rubis. Twelve
hundred troops; including, a company of engineers
and three companies of marine artillery, have been
embarked. Several regiments have received orders
to march to Toulon to re-inforce the troops under
General BUGEAUD, on the frontiers of Morocco. A
Government journal thus describes the position occu-
pied by the French army in that quarter :
" The camp of Lalla Maghania, at which Marshal Bugeaud
now is, and before which the Morocco troops have twice
come to give battle, is nine leagues from Tlemcen, six leagues
from Ouchda, the first town in the kingdom of Morocco, and
between two and three leagues of the frontier. The boun-
dary of the two States is well defined both by the topography
of the country and historical records. The bad faith of the
people of Morocco, and their insensate passion for making
war against the Christians, have been their only motives fur
their pretending to drive us to the left bank of the Tafus,
five leagues back. This camp, established by General de
LamoriciL•re, is defended by .a terraced inclosure, with flanking
bastions, mounted with cannon. Within are barracks in
timber-work for field hospitals, magazines, and offices for
the staff. It forms the general depot of provisions, ammu-
nition, and stores, and is the rallying point for all the troops
assembled on the frontier, amounting to between 8,000 and
9,000 men. This corps is composed of General de Lamori-
ciere's division, General Bedeau's brigade, and a brigade just
brought by Marshal Bugeaud from Oran."

On Monday, the motion of the Government for an-
nulling the vote carried on Saturday by a majority
of 1 ; or rather, for delaying the further considera-
tion of the question, whether the rails on the Paris
and Lyons Railroad, should be laid down by the State,
was carried by a majority of 28, there being for the
motion, 182, and against it, 154 ; and on Tuesday
the Bill was passed. The Rouen and Nantes Railway
Bill was also passed by a great majority, and the
sum of 28,000,000 f. voted for forming the line.
Several domiciliary visits were made on Sunday
by the Paris police, on the ground that there was
some plot in agitation, in favour of the Duke of
BORDEAUX. The following is the account given of
the affair, in the Carlist journal, the Quolidienne ;
"On Sunday the police paid a visit to the office of the
Charitable Society of St. Louis, and found there and carried
off some prospectus indicating the conditions on which re-
lief
may be obtained, and the books of accounts. To com-
plete their petty persecution they removed to, and still keep
at, the Prefecture M. de Lepinois, the Secretary. At the
same time the police made a descent at the house of Princ,•
Gaston de Montmorency, wbo is absent from Paris, forced the
locks of his furniture, and carried off the papers, his manu-
scripts, and a certain number of busts of Henri of France.
Yesterday (Monday) a long search took place at the house of
the Duke d'Lscars, who, with the Prince de Montmorency,
is one of the protectors of the Charitable Society of St.
Louis. The police seized the printed papers of the Society,
some private letters, and a great number of pamphlets rela-
tive to the liberty of instruction, which is now, as every one
knows, a very factious thing, and, therefore, the letters of the
Bishop of Langres and the pamphlet of M. de Ravignon
were seized, as necessary elements of the grand plot."
