stated that The high contracting parties agree in
yet concluded treaties for the abolition of the slave
trade, to accede to the present treaty" The powers
referred to, were Belgium, Hanover Greece and the
question which he wished to put to the right honorable
gentleman was, whether the parties to that treaty OF
December 1910 had in pursuance of the article be had
referred to- applied to those three powers to obtain their
annexation to the treaty
Sir r. PEEL said that the noble lord having given him
notice OF his intention to ask the ques which he had
put he made inquiry at the Foreign Office to the trans
action referred to- The noble lord had quoted of
representations and to be made BY the Go
vernments OF Great Britain and the United States to
tam foreign powers After the passing of that treaty
several conferences had taken place between his noble
friend at the head Of the foreign department and the
american minister, MIR. Everett, upon the subject OF
the article in question The question was, whether it
would be most advantageous and most likely to bring
be made by both countries united. or by each for
itself The words Of the article undoubtedly WERE that
both countries should unte but il not considered
that they necessarily bound, therefore, to make
joint that should be thought de-
srable for each country to make separate representa-
tion each country perfect liberty So It was
ultimately determined the best to be adopted
that each country should make such separate represen
taon The government Of Great Britain had faithfully
adhered to that arrangement and he understood from the
American minister that the government Of the States
had also made similar to Brazil through
their minister there, who had all along shown the utmost
readiness to assist put down
the slave trade (Hear As the second question Of tho
noble lord he had correctly stated that in s4 treaty
had been concluded by Great Britain Austria Prussia
and Russia conceding to each other mutual right of
search in order to SUPPRESS far possible the slave
trade That treaty had been signed by France but had
not been ratified by her. The other great powers of
Europe however, Independent of that nonatifcaton,
concluded the treaty i was quadruple treaty binding
four powers and it became question whether after
the refusal of France rat the treaty it desirable
that representations should be made to the three powers
who had all joined it. namely, Belgium, Hanover,
and Greece. He believed that vessels belonging to
these countries were engaged in the slave trade nor
their flags used in promotion of that traffic. No
doubt it would be very desirable that all the maritime
powers Of Europe should unite to put down. but there
were considerations connected with the refusal of France

three powers alluded to- qiear)

sumed that there would be difficulty in obtaining d.
that Government and in ayng them before the House.
If the remonstrances had been joint, the literal
construction Of the treaty they would have been laid
on the table of the House matter of but be-
ing comfortable to the treaty in spirit although not in

THE New OPERA THE g ENcHANTREss"-BY
Mr. BALFE.-This new piece was brought out at
Drury Lane Theatre on the ult, and was highly
successful In this piece Mad Thillon made her
debut with the greatest ectat. The London press
thus speaks OF it, and the fair debutanfi The gene
raj character OF the music Is elegant and agreeable,
and not too learned for the common ear. There are
some ballads in it Okely to make the fortune Of the
muscseller who buys the copynghD full of captiva-
ting slmpcities and just the things to throw the
metropolitan drawlng-room into ecsacles OF delight.
The descriptive pieces clever, and the orchestra
has been skilfuly employed in furnishing sparkling
effects. The opera in short, will maintain the repu-
tatlon of the composer. That reputation, certainly,
is not referable to very high standard; but it is
awarded by thousands Of music-ovlng though mu-
slcaly uneducated people, the term of existence in
for the Encdntress therefore not likely to be
patrons who bravely pay their money at the doors,
will listen and seeing that his songs and ballads are
full of pleasing melody, have graceful languor, and
above all, are not hard OF attainment by practising
amateurs, it is not to be wondered at. As far as
fancy and imagination are concerned, his operas
are quite equal TO those of Donzetti, and others of
the class upon which the fashionable attention
is turned with so much fervor. He is good tact-
cian and he knows how to write for the multitude
and to his credit may be inferred that he has here
and there awakened feeling for music.in the bosom
of his listeners, which may have afterwards taken
a lofter and more artlstcal direction.
The songs sung by Madame Thillon were well
calculated to exhibit the wondrous flexibiLty of her
voce-naturally a thin and piercing organ, but so
well exercised as to rarely fail in developing passages
of brilliant intricacy. Her first air, piece of CO.
quettish liveliness, she delivered with grace and
naivet6: and in another, in the second act, half
comic and half-sentimental, she obtained even
double encore She sang also a cavatina, similar to
that in the Crown Diamonds, which depended upon
the subtetes Of acting for its effect and she was
