Overture, _Js Deux Journees
Leader, Mr. F. Cramer.—Conductor, Mr. Lucas.
The conductor, Mr. Lucas, the leader, Mr. Francois
Cramer, and the whole orchestra, seemed inspired by one sen-
timent to annihilate the professional traitors in the camp, who
crawl about the room scattering forth their poisonous venom
against the concerts, originating from " envy, hatred, and
malice," and which had nearly succeeded in bringing down
destruction on the concerts, by paralyzing the efforts of the
Direction of this Society. But we hope the spell is broken :
if the Directors be firm, and follow up the triumphs of last
evening during the four remaining concerts, this Society will,
by public patronage, be placed on a secure foundation.
It would be invidious to select any individual portion of this
concert, when the whole stands unrivalled. We trust that Mon-
day night is but the dawn of a bright and brilliant career.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The thirty-third an-
nual meeting was held on Monday in the rooms of the Society,
Regent-street, Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart., M.P., in the chair.
The Report of the Auditors announced a continued favourable
improvement in the condition of the Society, as the amount of
the receipts for the past year were 6,8721. 3s. 9d., and of ex-
penditure 5,752/. 6s. Id., leaving a surplus of 1,119/. 17s. Bd.
By this means the floating debt of the Society had been con-
siderably reduced, the bonded debt being 9,0504, and the
debt on open accounts 4,2241. Os. 2d., making together
13,2741. Os. 2d., which is a decrease upon the debt of last year
of 1,047/. 12s. Bd. The continued interest in the exhibitions
at Chiswick was shown in the fact that in the last year there
was a profit of 2,707/. Is. 6d., the gross receipts being
4,875/. 94., from which was deducted the cost of medals
awarded, 747/. 75.. and the general expenses of th 4 three meet-
ings, 1,4211. Os. 6d. The amount of medals and rewards at the
ordinary meetings during the past year, in Regent-street, was
141/. 18s., and the charge on foreign missions and importations
146/. 7s. sd. The Duke of Devonshire was re-elected Presi-
de•nt, and the Earl of Ilchester, Sir W. J. Hooker, and R. W.
Barchard, Esq., were chosen on the Cc uncil, in the room of
E. W. Pendarves, Esq., M.P., and Messrs. Bentham and
Forster, who were removed.

A HINT FOR LORD MAIION.—The New York
papers con; ain an advertisement, intimating that on April the
sth " an extra quadruple Brother Jonathan" will be published
at the price of 25 cents. ( Is. ), for the purpose of giving, in a
complete form, the whole of Sir E. L. Bulwer's last new
novel, " Zanoni." The American public are informed that
" this will also be a rare opportunity for persons wishing to
forward to their country friends the latest and most popular
novel of the day, as the postage can only be from 3 to 4i
cents. to any part of the Union." So here is Bulwer's last
new work selling in England for IL I Is. 6d., and published in
New York at is.

SEAFORT H'S HIGHLANDERS.
TO 7'HE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
"Cuidich re Rhi."-- Motto of the 7t=th Regiment.
I.be i iigldiud r.fgimerit, r .5 ,i 1, u s.
peeuiiar circuinstaixes, hat I tru,t I ra ex. mt
tering into a few deLils, which could not wel be given in ray
former letter. Having been raised on the estate of some par •
ticular chief or proprietor, they still retain the names which
they bore previously to their being numbered. Such, for ex-
ample, as APLeod's, Grant's, and Fraser's Highlanders; the
last being still well known as the gallant 71st.
Many persons may not be aware that there have been two
78th Highland Regiments, which has given rise to many mis-
apprehensions ; and, without wishing to enter into a contro-
versy, I will endeavour to shew how it happened.
In the year 1771, Kenneth Mackenzie, grandson of the Eail
of Seaforth, whose estate and title were forfeited in consequence
of his concern in the affair of 1716, having purchased the
family property from the Crown, the title was accordingly
restored to him, in gratitude for which, the Earl offered
to raise a regiment on his estate for general service. In
a very short time, 1,130 men were raised by gentlemen of
the name of Mackenzie, and the regiment was embodied in
1778 ; it was afterwards numbered the 78th Highland regi
merit. Without entering into a detail of its subsequent ser-
vices in India, I will merely state that in 1786, in consequence
of the reduction of the senior regiments, the number of the
corps was changed to the 72,1. The regiment, after having
performed many gallant exploits, at length underwent consi-
derable alterations. In terms of general orders, issued in 1809,
the designation of Highland, and the ancient garb was altered
—the kilt was abolished, and the uniform was the same as that
of the line, till 1823, when it was again metamorphosed, and
the designation of " The Duke of Albany's own Highlanders"
was conferred ,n the regiment, which o lice more resumed the
bonnet and plaid, but with the tartan trews instead of the phi.
libeg or kilt. Now for the second 78th Highlanders. Great
Britain, in 1793, having joined the league against revolutionary
France, found it necessary net only to place the old establish-
ment of the army, consisting of the 77th regiments, on the war
footing, but to raise several new regiments. Among other warrants
issued about this time for raising regiments, letters of service
were granted to the late Earl of Seaforth ; and although the
affections of the Highlanders, particularly in Ross-shire, where
it was intended to raise recruits for the new regiment had been
greatly alienated by recent proceedings on the part of the
landed proprietors, yet so great was the attachment to an an-
cient and honourable family, that within a few months after the
warrant had been issued, the first establishment of the regis-
ment was completed and embodied February 10th, 1793.
Being the first that was embodied in the late war, it was num-
bered the 78th, being the same number as that of the regiment
raised by the former Earl of Seaforth, in 1778. It still wears
the " garb of old Gaul," and is in all respects a most efficient
corps, and one of those whose prowess is destined to be shown
in the forthcoming struggle in Affghanistan. It the space in
your columns would permit, I could detail the eminent ser•
vices performed by both these gallant regiments, especially in
the East Indies, where, by a singular concurrence of circum-
stances, they were, at intervals, stationed for a long time.
With your permission, however, I will at a future opportunity,
give an abridged account of all the Highland regiments, with
the names they originally bore, and the changes they subse-
quently underwent.—Your obedient servant, C. P. J.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

GLOBE.—The Times says it is curious to see how
those who have taught the Chartists their principles,
will manage to escape their conclusions. If, as the
Times says, they have learned those principles from
Locke and Blackstone, then Oxford and Cambridge
have taught them their principles, as they long pro-
fessed to teach the same principles to their own alumni.
But as every thing, it is said, is received ad modem re-
cipientis, it is possible that Chartist principles have
worked more mildly in Cantabs and Oxonians than they
could reasonably be expected to do in labourers and me-
' chanics. However that may be, it is certain that if those
principles are fairly deduced from the doctrines of Locke
and Blackstone, the Universities and the sages of the
law, and not the Whigs in particular, are the parties
bound to furnish the antidote. We are not informed
at what period it was that " these gentlemen,"
who would have it " that no man can be ruled with-
out his own consent, or taxed without the consent
of his own proper representative,"—" had it all their
own way in the political world." Perhaps it was about
'the same period when the "inherent, indubitable, and
constitutional right" really existed in practice (as the
Chartist petition affirms that it did) of every male
inhabitant of the United Kingdom exercising the
elective franchise in the choice of Members to serve in
Parliament. The doctrine of universal representation
has always been as much a legal fiction, as that of
'the " original contract" has been a political Utopia.
There can be no doubt that the people of the United
Kingdom . are at least more fully represented than
they have been in any preceding age. The legal or
historical argument of the petitioners can hardly be
advanced seriously, if the practice of former times
is made the subject of comparison with the present.
Neither the body of freemen of old times, nor that
of their representatives, can be brought in comparison
with the present, in relation to the other powers
of the State. It is not an ancient practice that is de-
sired, but a new struggle with all those authorities
which have established themselves after all former
struggles. The object is to make the House of
Commons again omnipotent to sweep out all other
institutions, as it was made at the period of the
Commonwealth—or, rather, as it prodlahned itself to
be at that period—for no sooner did it stand alone, than
the armed force usurped its omnipotence. The regular
army might not be in condition to do so at this mo-
ment ; for, notwithstanding the assertion of the peti-
tioners that it is " a vast and unconstitutional army,
upheld at the public expense for thF purpose of re-
pressing public opinion in the three kingdoms," the fact
is that ours is the smallest armed force in the world,
proportionally to our empire, and that it does not
exert the slightest influence in repressing anything
but open outrages. Unless, therefore, an organised
civil warfare followed the enactment of " the Char-
ter," the despotism it would create would not be
seized immediately by the chiefs of an armed force.
We could not immediately have a Cromwell, or even
an Espartero.
STANDARD.—Lord Brougham's, speech in tie
House of. Lords last night deserves attention. Nothing
can be more clear than his Lordship's demonstration
of the impossibility of obtaining satisfactory decisions
from Election Committees, composed exclusively of
Members of the House of Commons. Let us venture
to abridge that demonstration. The House of
Commons is now divided into two distinct
parties, each member of which has a direct
interest in augmenting the number of the par-
ticular party to which he is attached, and
will of course be biassed naturally and not dishonour-
ably, in the first instance, in favour of that candidate
for a seat who holds the same party principles with
himself. Now, how is an impartial tribunal to be
collected from such a muster of all party men ? Trust
to chance ; and that is only shifting upon chance
the responsibility of appointing a partial tribunal, but
it does not in the slightest degree remove the evil :
select as nearly as you can, inequal numbers, men
of opposite party opinions (and this is what is
effected by Sir Robert Peel's Act), and still the evil
remains, because in order to ensure a.decision you
must have an odd number, and an odd number cannot
be equally divided ; taking the number seven, the
number under the new law, you must have four of one
party and three of another ; thus, as six of the present
Commitees are equally distributed between the two
parties, the politics of the Chairman always deter
mine the politics of the Committee—generally de-
termine the politics of the Committee, as we firmly
believe, without swaying its integrity, but still so
as to render it unsatistactory—at least to the defeated
party, if of opposite politics. Nevertheless, the new
law is a great improvement upon the late tribunals,
it gives the nearest approximation to impartiality that
can be possible while Committees are taken exclu-
sively from the House of Commons, and with this
good effect, that there is always a minority suf-
ficiently strong to control such atrocious viola-
tions of decency, of law, and of morals, as were
committed by most of the thorough Whig-Radical
Committees that succeeded the general election of
1837. The circumstances that attract attention to
the subject at this moment are indeed healthy symp-
toms, though it may be in themselves disagreeable ;
they are appeals to the sense of the country, and such
appeals are always the forerunners of practical re-
forms, as often and as usefully effected from within
as from without.

CURIOUS NESTLING PLACE.--We have heard rather
marvellous things related of cabbages in the county of Ross,
but these useful vegetables have seldom been appropriated by
birds as their nestling place. We understand, however, that
in the garden of Dumglass a bird has constructed its nest in a
cabbage stock, axd that there are already three eggs in it.—

TITRES !--Ellen Walsh, aged ninety years, is now
confined in Wicklow gaol, at the suit of Archdeacon Stopford,
for tithes : the proceeding was by an Exchequer bill. —Free-

A gang of coiners have been arrested and com-
mitted at Rochdale. A number of dies were found on the pre-
mises they occupied.
It is stated in the fashionable circles that the Queen
hps appointed the Dowager Lady Lyttelton to the distinguished
Lost of Governess to the Princess Royal. She is a daughter of
ahe lat.e Earl Spene,r, and mother of the present Baron
Lyttelton, and, as one of the ladies of the bedchamber, has
long enjoyed the confidence of her Majesty.
Her Serene Highness the Duchess Ida of Saxe
Weimar, accompanied by the Prince and Princesses of Saxe
Weimar, came passengers to this country from Rotterdam un
Sunday, in the General Steam Navigation Company's tarail-

formed in 22 hours.
The Earl of Wicklow will be honoured with the
ribbon of the Order of St. Patrick, vacant by the death of Lord
Shannon. The Earl of Bandon will succeed Lord Shannon as
Lord-Lieutenant of the County of Cork.
The Council of University College, London, has
resolved on an important change in the classical department of
the College, which will add greatly to its efficiency. Hitherto
the Professors of Latin and Greek have been also head masters
of the junior school ; but after the summer vacation 'Mr. Key,
the present Professor of Latin, will resign his Professorship,
and become sole Head Master of the school; a new Professor
of Latin will be appointed ; and Mr. Malden, the Professor of
Greek, will confine his labours to the duties of his chair, and
to the instruction of the highest Greek class in the school.
A new Professorship of comparative grammar has been insti-
tuted ; and Mr. Key undertakes this office, and will deliver a
short course of lectures, which will not interfere with his duties
in the school.

Lord Lovaine has left the family mansion in Port-
man-square, for his villa, Collet's Meadows, near Denham,

IMPORTANT TO ELECTORS.—To avoid the disfr al 1;
chisement of electors in cities and boroughs, all the poor-rai
and window-tax (if any) payable from them in respect of rh' or`
premises previously to the 6th of April must be paid, on
before the 20th of July. The window-tax is payable by a,c
of Parliament, whether demanded or not. As many
.electorl
remove in the month of flay from one part of a Parliament°l
borough to another, those persons should take care t/o infor.
the overseers or the collectors of the poor-rates of their re °.
'Decal, and require to be rated for the premises to which thelt;
remove, to avoid being left out of the list of voters -when lit
made, and to prevent any objection made against them from
being substantiated, if taken to their vote in the RegistrarN'
Court.

EXTRAORDINARY BURGLARY AND ROIJBES ory
THE CITY.—At an early hour on Monday morning, disc?
1,01
was made of one of the most daring burglaries that has
place in the City for several years, attended with extraorilai"-a
circumstances, in the warehouses belonging to Messrs. r• and
W. Hutchinson and Spillers, 5, Bread-street, and also those in
the occupation of Messrs. Gent, Millar, and others, silk-
mercers, No. 6, in the same street. The discovery was mad`
by a porter in the service of the latter gentlemen, who, °—
entering the warehouse, found that it had been broken in"
the place being in the utmost confusion. From the particulars
received by the Commissioners of the City Police, the robbery
appears to have been perpetrated in the course of Saturday
night or Sunday. The burglars then proceeded to the pre'
mises of Messrs. Hutchinson, which they entered, the only
fastening being a common padlock, and took from an iron sate.
a 1001. !tank of England note, No. 19,564, dated Feb. 9, 18'2'
a banker's bill for 701. Bs., drawn by R. Clegg, and endorsed
over to 'F. W. Hutchinson and Co., and about la/. in gold and
silver. Their next operation was to effect an entrance into Messrs,
d.
Millars' warehouse and counting-house, where they regale
themselves with ham and biscuits and wine, leaving the bottle"
empty on the desks. The property stolen from Messrs. Millar
and Co.'s. warehouses consists of seven pieces of satinetts. ha/„..
