ARRIVAL OF THE Steamer Caledonia AT BOSTON. Debate on the Washington Treaty—Arrest of Cha:tists—Di-satisfaction among the Tenantry of England—Massacre of the French Governor at Marquesas—Improve- ment in the Cotton Market. The steamship Caledonia arrived at Boston on Friday morning at 6 o’clock, bringing news to the 5th inst. The overland mail from India had net arrived, and nothing of importance can be foundin our files. The tree trace party were making converis among the farmers. ‘The Queen, we are happy to state, is to-day so well that it was not thought necessary to issue any bulletin. The tuneral of the Dake of Sussex, will take place this day, (Thursday) in London, where, from eight until one o’clock, the skops will be closed. The Emerald had arrived at Havre. Intelligence had been received from the Islands ot Marquesas which state that the French Govern- or and suite had been murdered by the natives. P. W. Byrnes, Esq., long connected with the packet ships between Liverpool and New York, is dead. There is every prospect of a very early and very abundant harvest this year. From the mildness of the winter, the wheat was more forward atthe be- gioning of April thanit usually is at the end of that month, and the abundant rains and occasional ge- nial weather which we have since had, have caused it to advance, notwithstanding a few checks from frosty nights. M. Kaumartin, the lover of M’lle Heinferter, the German singer, was recently tried for the murder of his rival, M. Sirey, and acquitted. A very extensive seizure of tobacco had been made at Belfast, by the chief officer. A man was arrested in carrying off the contraband article by the cartlead. The Duke of Wellingtonjcompleted his 74th year on the Ist instant, and gave a levee on the occasion. The Havre Theatre was destroyed by fire on Friday night, the 28thult. Mr. Fortier, the mana- ger, who resided in apartments attached to the thea- tre, lost his life A large number of tenants on the Blenheim estates in Oxfordshire, had quitted their farms, and dissa- tisfaction among the tenantry of England, on ac- count of the high rents, was growing daily more apparent. A series of murders, of the most extraordinary and revolting character, have been brought to light in Bedfordshire. A woman is charged with having been instrumental in the death of her husband and one child, by administering to them arsenic in their food. Captain Edward Johnson, of the British army, was killed in a duel with another officer, a few days since, at Prittlewell, near Southend, in Essex. By the returns, nearly complete, of the General Assembly of the Church of Seotland, it is fully as- certained that a compiete revolution has been made in the character of that body, and that the scismat- ics had been entirely defeated. A chartist meeting at Hull was recently dispersed by the authorities, and the orator on the occas on seized and bound over for trial ona charge ot sedi- tion. Latest accouats from Naples state that Vesuvius was again belching forth large quantities of flame and smoke. A second edition of the Chronicle contains the following extraordinary express trom Paris :— “ Paris, May 2—The aflairs of Servia are arran- ged. The Divenbasconceded all the demands of Russia. Prince Georgewi'ch is to abdicate, his councillors and Kiamil to quit Servia,and a new gact m to take place, probably in favor of Prince Milo xitempt was made at Milan to assassinate the Viceroy, which failed” Texas Consut —M. Pierre Brunot. banker at Pa- ris, has just been appeinted by the Minister of Fo- reign Affairs to tulfil io Prence the functions of Con- sular Agent forthe republic of Texas. Tue Cuartist TRIaLs.—O’Coonor and the other Civartists, tried at tne late Lancaster Assizes, togeth- er with White who was tried at Warwick, and Coo- per who was tried at Stafford, have received notice to appear at the Queen’s Bench on Thursday, May 4, to receive judgment. Tue Inrant Princess.—Her royalj highness is a remarkable fine infant, not so delicately formed as her sister, the princess royal, and in features more resembling the Prince of Wales. She has large light blue eyes, and hair which promises to be flaxen. Prince Puckuga Muscav —Accounts from Cen- tral Europe state that this well-known Prince and liberal-minded traveller has parted with some por- tion of his hereditary possessions, though tor what reason is not assigned. It is affirmed in the higher circles of Breslau that the Count of Nassau has purchased of Prince Packler, for $1,600,000 the Lordship of Museau in Lower Silesia. In Muscau the sum is stated at above $100,000 more. Count Vou Ridea, who was in negotiation with the Prince, is said to have offered $1,500,000. Siping Scate or THe Press —Dr. H. called at the “* Times” office, to inquire the price of inserting the death of a relative. ‘“*Ten shillings,” said a surley clerk Dr. H. remonstrated, and said he had only paid seven for the last. On,” said the clerk, “that was a common death, but this is sin- serely regretted.” “* Well, my friend,” eaid the Doctor, laying down the ten shillings, “ your exec- utors will never be put to that expense.” Post Orrice.—A Parliamentary paper, published on Saturday morning, shows, that for the year end- ing January 5, 1843, the number of letters received iniand was 209,611,508, and foreign and colonial 8,583.040. The gross amount of revenue of the Uni- ted Kingdom, inland, during the same period, was £1.027.074 10s. 64d. ; expense of management, £913.061 14s ; showing a net revenue of £103,268 Be. 6hd., after deducting £10,745 23. 6d. tor Par liamentary grants, &c., charged on the Post office revenue. ‘The gross amount of revenue for foreign and colonial, and internal colonial, was £583,406 Os 4d; the total expense of management, £696,445, 19s 4b. showing a deficiency of £113,030 19. The aspect of aflairs inthe manufacturing districts presenis nothing worthy of remark since the sailing of the Great Western. The ships sailing to the United States are going out empty, or in ballast. Neither goods nor pascengers are’ offering, und freighis were hardly ever known to be ao’ low. The last three packets, the 19th ult., the 25th ult., and the Ist inst., have only taken out in “ rough freight and dead weight,” conjointly, about $560, Massacuk oF THE GoveRNoR oF THE Marquesas Istanps anp Surre.—We regret to state, that very melancholy intelligence has just been brought to this country from the new French settlement inthe Pa- cific by a merchant vessel, the Sarah Ann schooner, which left Otaheite on the 23d of October. It ap- pears that the French Governor of the Marquesas, with fourteen attendants, had been ona visit te the native King, Nicahevar, where they had been hos- itably entertained, and, suspecting no danger, they left his residence to return to the French station, without, probably, taking proper precaution against the treachery of the natives. They were attacked on the way, and the Governor and lourters persons were killed. ‘This unfortunate event proves the un friendly disposition of the natives—but what will it avail them? The French Government will instant ly send out a sufficient force to crush all opposition. Emigration To Amenica.—Yesterday afternoon. the American line of packet ship Quebec, of 653 tons register, Captain illiams, sailed trom the St Katharine’s Dock, for New York. She carries out 180 emigrante—namely, 3) in the cabin and 150 in the steerage. The steerage passengers were chiefly agricultural laborers, with their families, principally from Sussex. Kent and Essex. She takes out nearly a full cargo of merchandize, con- sisting of calico prints and other “ goods. f th The Canapa Corn Bitt..—The Examiner of the ‘camenting on this bill, sxye:—The threaten- vada Corn Bill has, as the agriculturists ex- vress theinselves, “spread cousternation through the provinces.” American wheat is to be imported into Canada, on a 3s. duty, and permitted, when ground in Canada, to be imported in the United Kingdom for consumption at a further duty of Is. Itis as we have before explained, a scheme for al- lowing a small quantity of American wheat to be consuned in England at a nominally moderate du- ty, but, in reality, burdened with excessive charges for transport by land, and freight by sea, with heavy insurance, and the Most expensive process forgtinding it. The American districts near the St. Lawrence produce no wheat for exportation. The American wheat must, therefore, be brought {rom the “far west”—from Ohio and Illinois, and by land curriage, lakes, and the river, for there exist, a8 yet, no canals for its transport. The bran must be carried as well asthe flour, and the grain must be langed, stored, and ground where the process is less uoder-tood than in the country from whieh it comes. Then it has to be re-shipped and carried 1,000 miles by the precarious navigation of the St. Lawrence; after which it has to make a sea voyage about half as long again as if it were shipped from New York. The cost of bringing corn from America to Upper Canada is estimated by the ministerialists them- selves at 10s. per quarter, and that of bringing it from Canada to England at 253., to which are to be added the prime cost, and 4s. of duty. It this really should turn out to be the case, it is pretty sure that the American corn could not be had at Jess that 65s. a quarter, and that, consequently, the terrible Cana- dian Cora Act will turn out little better than waste paper. If, however, the project should come to anything, it will give to the Canadians good Ameri- can winter wheat, and to us the inferior spring wheat oi Canada, the only grain of this sort which Canada produces. It will, however, create a vested interest for a tew Canadian millers—-a nuisance which it will be afterwards difficult to get rid of Tn fact, the innovation which has freightened the landlords, is neither worth fighting for nor fighting against It is a little worse than the live cattle de- fusion of last year, to which the agriculturists es- cribed a depreciation of 25 millions in the value ot their live stock, and which ended in the importa- tion of 8,155 oxen, 1,046 cows, 76 calves, 414 swine, 638 loan sheep and 10 lambs, tor the wants of a car- hivorous population of 28 millions! ihe Canada bill is, however, worthy of Sir Robert Pee!|—wor- of the man that “reformed” 1,200 articles of the tariff, and left every important article unreform- ed! A year hence every#man will laugh at it, as another tour de main of our truly expert juggler. Daauerxgortyrs.—M. Claudet, the celebrated da- guerreotypist of London, assisted by M. Lerrebours, the well known optician of Paris, took the portrait of the King at the palace of the Tuilleries on Sa- turday last. It was by error that it was stated the operation had Dore pean by H. R.H. the Duke de Montpensier e ‘understand that M. Claudet produced fifteen good portraits of his Majesty in less than a quarter of an hour. During the opera- tion there was a large crowd before the palace, eeming to take great interest in what was taking lace. M.Claudet has also daguerreotyped H. Rk. . the Duke de Nemours, the Prince of Wirtem berg, and his young son, Prince Philip, and General Gourgard, and several of the side-de-catup of the King. ltisto M.Claudet that the public owe most ot the discoveries which have given so much per- fection to the art of daguerreotype. House or Commons, Turspay, May 2.—The sub- ject of the treaty of ‘Washin, ton was brought for- ward by Mr. Hume, who said he had originally in- tended this motion as an amendment to that which had been made before Easter by Lord Palmerston in condemnation of the treaty, and deteated by the counting out of the House. Disapproving, as he did, the warlike policy of Lord Falmerston, he was anxious to record his dissent from the opinions ex- (Sees by the noble lord on this particular subject. 18 present course might be a novel one; if it was erroneous, he toek the whole blame of it to him- selt, for he had consulted no one; but when heso often saw the thanks of Parliament bestowed upon men who had succeeded in military operations, he could not but wish to see a mark of approbation be- stowed upon more peaceful services. ‘The subject of the boundary line was one upon which gross ig- norance hau long prevailed, and out of thatignorance there had arisen much misunderstanding. He be- lieved that according to the true intent of the treaty of 1783 the British claim was well founded; but the letter of that treaty did certainly iurnish very ar- guable grounds to America. Lord Palmerston liad said that our cencessions respecting this boundary had been attended by loss and dishonor to England, but had not made out either. He himself had ori- ginally disapproved the treaty, but he had found him- self mistaken, and would not persevere in his error He commented successively upon the six main arti- cles of the treaty, commending them as fair and beneficial settlements of the points to which they respectively related As to the quantity of territor, now allotted to each of the two Powers, Lord Pal- merston had small aeons for complaint, for the no- ble lord had himself been willing to divide the de- bateable land equally, which would have given 3,375,000 acres to each, and the only abatement ad- mitted by Lord Ashburton, was in accepting 3,337,000 acres ; the difference which he had conce. ded seen fh however, of some of the worst and most useless land in the world. As to the opening of rivers, ne was persuaded that England would be at least as much a gainer by the free navigation aa America. A great benefit had been effected also in the agreement obtained from America, that any future disputes which might arise out of transac- tions between this country and any one of the indi- vidual States should be settled with England, not by that individual State, but by the Federal Govern ment, so as henceforth to exclude the dangers of lo- calexcitement and irntation. He quoted the cor- respondence of the Foreign-office, in August, 1841, to show that at the time when the late governmeat were quitting office this country and America were actually on the very verge of commencing hostili ties; and he con idered it to be matter of great good fortune that those hostilities had been prevented through the kindly feeling which the Americane entertained for Lord Ashburton. He was sativfied that this result could not have been achieved but by settling a conventional line ; for the Cleat ksh of the numerous maps had made it impossible that the actual line should be ascer- tained. It was not an immaterial circumstance that the arrangement was highly approved by the people of all parties in British North America. No two countries could be more useful to one another than Great Britain and the United States, {and it was therefore of great importance to both that their relations should have been thus amicably adjusted. He desired the {House to observe that there were many precedents of thanks voted by the House for civil services; and those precedents he shortly enu- merated. Alter some remarks from Dr. Bowring, Sit Charles Napier, Mr. B. Escott, and Sir Howard Douglass— Lord Sranvey said that the Government would not in the ordinary course of business, have departed from precedent, in proposing the thanks of the House to a negotiator, however successful. But the uagen- eroua atteck of Lord Palmerston was the moving cause of securing to Lord Ashburton the unprece- dented honor of such a vote. Mr. Macauley had contended that Lord Ashburton had cast a stain on British diplomacy ; yet to-night it was admitted that the treaty was not so bad a one after all, and the only objection taken was tothe unprecedented nature of the motion. There never had been a treaty concluded in the face of greater difficulties, or which had more cflectually removed the chan- ces of a disastrous war between two countries, eve- ty blow of which would recoi! on both. Ina lew months, Lord Ashburton had concluded a settle- ment which he for several years had successfully protracted ; eyenjthe Madawaska settlement, about whichso much was now said, was one of the ob- jects which the noble lord, when in office, had vain- ly oflered, in order to induce the Unided States to accept the award of the King of the Netherlands.— Lord Ashburton had entered on his task, after the juestion had been embroiled by the management of Lord Palmerston, and after separate States were committing themselves on the ey na by rong reso lutions to support the claims of Maine and Massa- chusette, and in six months he brought it to a close. Nor had the noble lord or the government compro- mised the question of the right of search,though Lord Aberdeen did not imitate the supercilious style of Palmerston,in addressing a people at once strong and s>nsitive, and on a subject of peculiar delicacy. The U. States did not recognize the right of search, but they agreed that it might be exercised under cer- tain conditions of remedy for injury. The very con- vention on this subject in the Ashburton Treaty was similar to a proposition made by Lord Palmerston in 1839, yet he now turned round, and said that it was a step in the wrong direction. The case of McLeod, which the present government, on enter- ing office, had found to ve 8o imminent and danger- ou, had been successfully settled, and its recurrence provided against. Lord Ashburton had, in fact, ob- tained a better military boundary than under the award of the King of the Netherlands; he had pro- cured the enactment of a law which would prevent the recurrence of irritating questions, and he made no concession dishonorable or disad: the country. He trusted, therefore, that the House would mark its sense of his high merits, and of the party attack which had been made on him, porting the motion of Mr. Hume. — Lord Jons Russet, was surprised that the Gov- ernment never tzought of coming to the rescue of Lord Ashburton’s reputation and honor, until a gen- leman came to their aid, who was 80 little disposed to uphold the honor of this country, that he was the correspondent of one ol the chief rebels in the Ca nadian insurrection. The precedents adduced by Mr. Hume for his motion were not very apposite; snd it would appear as if the speeches of Lord Pal- merston and Mr. Macaulay, on the former discus- by sup- sion on this subject, had produced so powerful an ef- fect that they could only be ti - ed without precedent by oth ho rea Pariawent. The right of search, asserted by this country and denied by America, had not been settled by the Ashburton Treaty—the very conven- tion on the subject of repressing “the slave trade, which that treaty contained, had already been the cause of producing an excitement in France which it required all the prudence of M. Guizotto allay, Without going into all the compli- cated details of the boundary question, he declared his conviction that the tone adopted in the negotia- tions was not only calculated to lower us in the es- timation of the world, but had actually done so, and had produced the impression that our claims had only to be resisted in erder to compel conces- sions. An ultimatum had proposed and abandoned Lord Ashburton, who had claimed the Madawaska settlement, and had resigned it, as the definite proposition of a river boundary, at the bidding of Mr. Webster, ina manner not calculated to sustain the honor of this count Lord Ashbur- ton was not unlike Mosesin the “Vicar of Wake- field,” whose successtul bargain ended in a case of shagreen epectacles One of the first results in America of the treaty of Washington was the pass- ing of a bill to sieze the Oregon territory—a plain effect of the want of upholding the cignity of Britain He was not disposed to censure with severity the expression of Lord Ashburton, in terming Boston the “cradle of Americas liberty.” He rather re- joiced that the Americans appreciated the noble struggles of their forefathers; but while he wished to see the bonds strengthened between the two countries. he did not think the treaty had done so. Sir R. Peet censured the conduct ot Lords Pal- merston and Russell, and their friends, in endeavor- ing to ruin the character of Lord Ashburter, who, actuated by the purest motives, had undertaken this difficult negotiation. Mr. Hume's support had not always been so indifferent to the late Government. Was it creditable to pablic men to pursue the course which had been followed by the noble lord? The government was taunted with yA tial by adopting the motion, but when Mr. Canning’s policy with respect to Spain was questioned, he re- fused, contrary to his original intention, to permit the motion to be withdrawn without a definite ex- pression of the opinion of the House. The question was not, on the present occasion, about the giving up of a Madawaska settlement, or of a particular boundary? It wes one involving peace and wur, on an irritating dispute which, in spite of negotia- tion, had lasted fer halfa century. As to the right of search, Lord Palmerston had autorized the cap- ture of American yessels, which had produed so touch excitement in the United States, and had rendered the question a difficult one; and the con- vention in the treaty secured for five years the co- operation of a jeint squadron on the coast of Africa for the pnppreanion of the slave trade. He believed that the Oregon dispute would be settled ere long,as well as that of the right of search ; and, notwith- standing the efforts of individuals to excite animosi- ties, he was satisfied that the Treaty of Washing- ton would lead torelations of amity and good will between the two countries. He called onthe House therefore, viewing the difficulties which Lord Ash burton had successfully overcome, to depart from ordinary precedent in passing the vote of thanks to the noble lord. Lord Paumerston remarked that the argument used bySir Robert Peel,on the occasion of the former debate on this subject, was, that if vote of censure were moved, he would meet it with one of approba tion. No vote of censure had been moved ; yet the unprecedented courze was adopted of proporing a vote of thanks. He had shown that the treaty involved a surrender of our rights, and was not advantageous to this country, but he would not now repeat his argu ments. The Mpkeeatl Government were rather partial to following the example of the late one, but in do- iug so, they frequently did not see the principle on which they had Frvoseded: and therefore imitated them wrongly. The late Government had proposed a conventional line for the settlement of the dispu- ted boundary, and it would have been well if it had been adopted as the basis of the treaty. He dis- claimed all intention of insulting the American flag, by using the phrase, ‘‘a bit of Patina which had reference not to the flag of the Union, but to piratical and fraudulent attempts to sail under it; and he explained the circumstances under which suspected American vessels had been captured on the coast of Africa by our cruisers. It had been effected through a voluntary arrangement between the naval officers of both cauntries, but being disallowed by the American Government, was immediately stopped by hs orders. But the convention in the treaty of Washington, for joint co-operation between the squadrons of the two countries, would not prove effectual for checking theslave trade. The government had not stood up very manfully for their negotiator, in leaving him to the attentions of Mr. Hume ; the principle on which he had proceeded, of conceszien for the sake of peace, had been repudiated by so great a lover of peace as Mr Fex. Even admitting that the treat of Washington was advantageeusto the couutry, it remained te be shown that the merit was due to the negotiator, and there was no precedent for a vote of thanks to a diplomatist, which would lower the character of the House, by dragging a majority through the dirt, in approbation of an unwise and disadvantageous treaty. . } Mr. Hue said a few words in reply. He did not think that any proceedings of his would have so stirred up the noble lords; and the spirit now evinced convineed him that, had they been in office, we should have been embroiled with America On a division, the motion was carried by 238 against 96. Housr or Commons, May 3.—The House met at four o’clock, when a good number of petitions were presented against the educational clauses of the new Factory Bill and the Corn Laws. The house, at its rising, would adjourn until Friday, in honor ot the Duke of Sussex’s tuneral. In reply to Mr. Borthwick, Sir R. Peel stated that there was no intention on the part of either England or France to place unneceseary restraint on Don Carlos ; but, at the same time, they thought that an unqualified liberation of the prince would interfere with the tranquillity of Spain Foreign Theatricals, &c. Theatricals were never known to be at so low an ebb. Bunn kept Covent Garden open until his trea- sury was exhausted, and with the exception of the lrafian Opera, there is not a theatre in London pay- ing expenses. In the provinces, the same depression exists—the best proof of the peverty of the middle classes. The circumstance of Covent Garden Thea tre beiug closed on Easter Monday is altogether’un- precedented in the annals of theatricals, and gave Tige to many fears as to the ultimate success of the “after” season. The celebrated danseuse, Fanny Cerito,faccom panied by her father, arrived in town on Saturday from Milan, where she has been “starring” during the winter alternately with Taglioni. Adele Dumi- latre returns to the Academie Royale at Paris. Mesdames Grisi, Persiani, and Gay Stephan were performing on the 3d instant at her Majesty’s Theatre. Atthe same Theatre and upon the same eve nings Fanny Elssler was to make her last appear- ance but two, 3 M. Silvain was also performing at the same place. Miss Clara Novello was at Drury lane. Madame Vestris was at the Hay Market. Mademoiselle Nissen, the much admired sopra- no, from the Italian Opera, Paris, has just arrived in London for the season. Among the passengers by the Caledonia are Mr. Butler, Mre. Fanny Kembfe Butler and children. Mr. Charles Kean was at Glasgow. The Post says:—We hear from Vienna that the celebrated Lanner has j been carried to his last home, preceded by Strauss and his band, playing one of the delunet’s best waltzes. Verily, if the virtu- osi are tobe thus buried, the Barbiere must be Ros sini’s musical winding sheet—it has been to us unb / vivere—to him it will be un bel morir, May it be long before he requires such a wrapper—in which our gratitude will be enfolded. Speaking of me- lancholy thingsin a more melancholy mood, it was, we believe, the last night of Elssler, and, “the other charmer is away”—we mean Dumilatre. It is pro- bable the subscribers will soon be coquetting with Cerito, and our loss will be forgotten, forthe protes- tations of a theatrical public are like lover's vows, made to be broken; but it is no less p-obable that we shall never behold again such a combination of talent inthe choregraphic department as that with which we began the season, and have continued on tillthis moment. The union of Elseler and Dumi- latre, in Giselle, brought out with inimitable effect the poetry and imagery of that most delightful of all ballets, Giselle. To begin by the Barbiere, and to finish by Giselle, whieh was the bill of fare last ae isan infallible recipe fora full house. Not only were the stalls and pit amply full, but the boxes boasted of the presence of some new comers, not et beheld this season, belonging to the‘élite of the 1u monde. All were complaining of the extraordi nary absence of the wonted pleasure of the season— of the absence, we repeat, even of the disposition to be amused: owing to which some of our theatres, boasting talents of the highest order, closed—and also, thanks to which, if it n shops will likewise be closed and our city artizans starve. Not so singular as to hear on all vides our ladies of fashion in despair, asking one ano’ ker if the ennui is not unprecedented, and exclaiming “When will this end?” We trust the question will soon be altered to “Whende youbegin 1” Hitherto, with all our enquiries, in the way of social recrea- tions, we have only heard of twe concerts in per- spective tout polage, for the whole of nex: month: the one at a noble Marchioness’s, and the other at the residence of a “tasteful foreign Ambas- sadress.” Several families of note have gone back, to onr own knowledge, to the country, to return when town is resuscitated from its unprecedented lethargy. May they not, when they return, fied us converted into stone, like the city in the “Arabian Nights.” — ge Dexmuer,_ ‘re, Pranist.—The follewi instant :—‘ The celebrated pianist, Doehler, while at the ball given at the Opera on ve Tuesday, had his pocket picked of his purse and pocket book’ The next morning he published an advertisement, that if the thiet would restore him his pocket book and its contents and the purse, he might keep the money, and rely upon no enquiries being made. Alter a lapse of ten days, M. Doehler received a box, carefully sealed, containing the money which was in the purse, accompanied by an anonymous letter, evidently written by two diflerent female hands, on perfamed_ paper, saying, ‘* Here are the 35 thalers (1301.) which your purse contained. The purse itsel{—the pocket book and its contents—be- 10g a lock of hair, a wedding ring, and a billedoux —I keep, because | prefer them to the money. This ought not to surprise you, because | am one of the greatest admirers of your talent, with which I have become acquainted by attending all your concerts, which have, I assure you, afforded me a divine en- tertainment.” M. Doehler, enraged by not recover- ing what he most desired, immediately took the letter to the pelice, whose officers soon discovered that the theft was committed by two sisters, Anas- tasia and Mathilda L—. The two young melo- maniac ladies were arrested as they were coming out of the concert given at the Royal Singing School On being brought before the criminal tri- bunal, they pretended that they had acted out of a mere frolic, and meant to return what they had taken. They were, however, sentenced to a 12 months confinement in the house of correction at Poisdam, to which they have already been sent. Destruction or THe Haverg THRatre.—The thea- tre of Havre was burnt to the ground on the night of Friday. Some of the persons who had arrived at the spot ran for the engines; others called to M. Fortier, the manager, who resided in the apartments attached to the theatre, to save himself. He re- plied— My dear friends, it is not the engines that will be of immediate use, but a ladder, for I amsuf foeating ; the smoke is gaining rapidly upon me.— Run to the scene room, where you will find lad- ders.” At this moment the smoke was seen forcing its way through the roof of the theatre. Some per- sons ran to the scene-room at the back of the thea- tre, and obtained ladders, but time had been lost in searching for the keys. The ladders were placed in front of the theatre, but unfortunately they were so short as scarcely to reach the window of the saloon. When this was going on M. Fortiergot out of his win- dow, and his female servant, who was the only resi- dent in the building besides himself, took his place atit. He held by the ridge of the attic, and with seeming calmness awaited relief. When asked by the persons below how he proposed to escape from his per.lous position, he oda exclaimed “I can bear it no longer, I am suffocating; it is useless my friends, I burn and must throw myself off,” and atthe same moment he jumped to the ground from a height ot 20metres (more than 60 feet.) He came neo the pavement on his feet, but 1mmedi- ately fell senseless. He still breathed, and would perhaps have recovered if, by a deplorable fatality, the servant, on seeing the desperate act of her mas- ter, had not followed the exampled, and fallen upon his body. When taken up he was a corpse. The servant, who was still alive, was taken to the hos- fe in a senseless state, She had one. of her legs broken, and had received other injuries; she ex- pire on the following morning. Nothing remains ut the four walls and the facade, with the calcined dial of the new clock. Port} Lisbon papers to the 241 apes give an ac- count of a destructive fire which roke out on the 22d, 1n a large public building called the Collegio dos Nobres, formerly the Jesuits’ College, and Iat- terly the Polytechnic School. It appeara the fire was caused by an explosion, which took place while some chemical experiments were being made. The King and his Aide-de-Camp were speedily on the spot, and rendered every a-sistance. A boat’s crew from her Majesty’s ship Vanguard, and another from the French ship-of-war the Sufiren, were pre- sent, but the greater part of the building was des- troyed; one of the French sailors lost his life on the occasion. The Duro Wine Company B.1l had re- ceived the royal assent, and the Pope had confirmed the appointments of the Patriarch of Lisbon, the Archbishop of Braga, and the Bishop of Lereia. A general feeling of regret seemed to prevail on ac- count of the failuse of the tariff negotiation. Greece, We cee it stated in a letter from Athens, that King Otho threatens to abdicate his throne, unless the most potent sovereigns of Europe, who placed him where he is, shall lend him more money. He thinks it outrageous that they should expect him to govern such a people with an Arama pgm and with no sig of replenishing it without oppressing the peo- ple. al, of. Circassia, The rumor, heretofore given, that Russia was pre- paring a great expedition against Circassia, is con- firmed by further accounts. The Emperor, itis said, is determined not to protract this useless war much longer ; and if the powerful expedition now on foot does net prove successful, he will acknowledge the tight of the hardymountaineers to govern themselves A strict blockade is to be enforced along the Black sea, and the whole Russian army along the fron tiera of Poland and a large portion of the garrisons, are to be drawn into the expedition. There ishard- ly a hope that the Circassians will be able to with- stand this powertul force—but then the luck has hi- peu been all on theirside, and may sustain them still. Persia. Atthe last accounts from Bagdad, serious appre- hensions were entertained *of another collision be- tween the Persian and Turkish troops. The latter were concentrated at Bagdad thirty thoueand strong, and there was about an equal force at Ezerum The Pasha of Bagdad has received orders to occupy, at all hazards, his tormer positions of the frontiers of Persia—a movement which the Persians will not submit to without fighting. : Summer Fashio Bonnets, though d ffering in form from those of last season, have not passed from one extreme to the other. The bsims are of moderate depth, descending rather low at the sider, and the crown raised a little, but very little, behind. The finest kind of Italian straw will be m vogue for chapeuz. Rice and Italian straw, poult de svie, and crape for carriage and promenade dress. Straw bonnets, trimmed with ribbon, tulle en bouillonnee, and spring flowers, for plain walking dress, Flowers are expect-d to predominate for the promenade, ond feathers for half dress. The new double-shaded marabouts, from their ex- quisite lightness, and the beauty of their tints, are the most elegant feathers of the season. Cemaiis and Crispins of striped, plain, and fancy silke, trimmed with black lace and passementerie, retain their vogue. Mantelets, teo, are again in favour. The prettiest w have seen have the ends descending enly to the kne: and are trimmed with adoubleruche, pinked at the edges; the fronts retained in regular fol bend of the arm, by points. Ruches and passementerie retain their vogue for trinmings. Embroidery in silk is expected to supersede sentache. Embroidered muslin and lace scarfs \d paletots will be much worn. Superb summer cl. roth in white and bleck Jace, will be introduced. They are of a large size, rounded behind, with a large pelerine, but open infront from the throat, where the cloak is fus- ten by a knot of ribbon. Corsages are made high both in morning dress tte. Robes redingote are in great request Demi points sre very fashionable. The jetas, foulards, and plain and 3 atterns end the most brilliant colours ; also bareges and light tissues.

Then came “‘the bright particular star” of the occ: ion, Madame Sutton, in the beautiful Cavatina from the Sonnambula, “‘Sovra il senn la mann mi Posa,” and she executed it with such exceeding delicacy, pa- thos, and brilliancy as to enwrap the entire audience in the enchantment of rapture, and leave her fol- lowers in the succeeding parts of the concert in a very disadvantageous position.

The little new that has arrived has been taken from t! or bacon have y. considerable parcel was offered on the 27th ult., about half of which found buyers ; this has relieved the pres- sure, and holders are now firmer.

Several small parcels of grease outter have been taken at the quotat: State or Txape—Livenroon.—During the past fort- night reports from some of the manufacturing districts, previously but indifferently oft for the want ot good «m. ployment, are becoming more satisfactory. ‘Though still at low (but in some cases rather improved) wages, most of the people are employed; such has been the case for some time past in the cotton districts, and this continues, deed rather improves than otherwise. These must ‘ived as favorable indications as to the future; be. able that this increased business, fairly itherto remained permanent. The home ippe' nce more foes, and the foreign demand, apparently, though slowly perhaps, on the increase.— From present appearances distress seems likely to extend in the agricultural districts; but let us hope that another good harvest (of which there is every present appear- ance) may do mueh to relieve this i nportant portion of our community. A large business is going forward in our produce markete for actual consumption, but with- out excitement, or any undue eagerness to buy. Rocwpare Fiannen Marxet, Monday, April 24.—In the piece market there has been rather more business done, but prices have been extremely low. There is also 8 little improvement inthe wool market, and the dealers are asking rather higher prices. Havae Market, May 2.—Asnes.—We have to repert salesof 115 bbis. American Potash, 1st brands, at fr. 40 25, and 65 bbls. Pearlash, at f. 44 to 46, per 50 kilograms, duty (f1 26) paid) Prices have become firmer, although the doman Ras not been very brisk. The Emerald, from New York, brought in 13 bbls. Pe Cortrons.—The same want of spirit that predominated in business at the close of our preceding report, has con tinuedto prevail throughout the presentweek for although towards the close rather more briskness wa manifested, the demand has however not been of an animated charac- ter, and the buying has not extended beyond the current wants for consumption. Our apprehensions that deslera would purchase but sparingly, unless at a concession on the part of sellers, have been fully real'zed, and to this must be ascribed the slight revival that has taken place, but which does not as yet bear the stamp of much activity. Prices which had previously exhibited some degree of firmness, have therefore given way, and a decline of f. 1 to2 has taken place on ordinary and middling United States descriptions, at which reduction holders willingly meet the inquiry.’ There is nevertheless a flatness in transactions, owing to the large accession to our stock within the last week, and, infact, a general dullnessin the aspect of our market, which does not seem warranted by the circumstances, as the advices from the lish markets and elsewhere are not unfavorable, and it is dit. ficult to account for the absence of improvement, when there was every reasonable ground for anticipating that the reverse would have been the case. Our @ neatness and precizion truly astonishing, and pro- duced sensations at least equal, and very like those of the most exquisite singing. The Cracovian Maid, in words expressly written > for Miss Emmelina Sutton, a very pretty and inte- resting little girl of eight or nine years, was sung by her ina really charming manner. Maztini followed very well in an aria from Bellini’s “Il Stramera;’ and then cave Madame Sutton in the grand cava- tina“ Ferche non he del vento Vinfaticabil volo,” from Lucia di Lamermoor, a rich and glorious compcsition, which she sung with a transcendant skill and power, that left every hearer inan ecstacy of delighted wonder, and she was fervently invoked to return and receive repeated rounds of applause. Bley closed this first part of the concert with some superb variations. The second part opened with a fine adagio and finale of Trio, by Messieurs Marks, Scharfenberg, Boucher, and Bley, and Mr. Brown, followed, in a first appearance,with an English ballad, in which he gave high promise ef future celebrity His accom- paniment indicated great proficiency in the instru- ment, and if his purposed study in Italy should as carefully improve his singing, he will return an artist of eminent rank. We hardly know what to say of Signor Aupick’s mysterious ferocity toward the music stools, and his cavalier bearing toward the audience, but he nevertheless executed his “Grand Fantasia” upon the Cornet & Piston with a degree of taste that should have charmed the evil spirit out of himself. The audience hissed him for his manners, not for his music. Mrs. Sutton’s Grand Scena and Cavatina, Cas. ta Diva, from Bellini’s Norma, is knownto be her favorite gem, and in it she excelled all of her for- mer efforts, triumphant as they have been 3 andshe was again rapturously called to accept the plaudits of the assembly. The closing, brilliant and romantic variations by Bley, were most exquisitely given, and the per- formance was an evidence of talent not only ex- traordinary but astonishing, and we predict that his future appearances before the public on his re- turn here, will be with the advantage of a profes sional distinction superior to any existing rivalry. He was greeted with the utmost conceivable ap- plause, and detracts from his present influence only by too great timidity and bashfulness of manner. The concert, in every respect, was one of the most brilliant and delightful ever given in this city, and Madame Sutton leaves us with the splendor of the sun at noon. Nisto’s Taratre.—The usual term for this popu- lar place of amusement is “Niblo’s Garden,” but the indefatigable proprietor has, this year, been so much in advance of the season of flowers, that we can almostsay of his company that they have “ come before the swallow dared To shame the wiuds of May with beauty.” Tn one word, Nivlo has opened his theatre with a French company, who appear to possess sufficient variety of talent to perform not merely Vaudevilles and inusical dramas, but capable of giving us French Operas in all their charming variety. To aid in carrying out this project, the manager has engaged a most extensive orchestra, which is led by M. E. Prevost, and judging from their execution on Friday night of the very difficult overture ta Zarretta, we should say that the musical department at Niblo’s has never been excelled, either in brilliancy of exe- cution, orin ability for instrumentation, by any of its predecessors. Imprimis, a few words of the theatre, which has been newly decorated, the benches re-stuffed, and some improvements effected in the mode of ven- tilation, which is calculated to ensure the comfort of the audience, especially on crowded nights. A new drop scene, embracing a view ot the Croton Reservoir, with the city of New York in the dis- tance, and the blue hills of Staten Island in the far perspective, adds greatly to the coup-d’a@il. The audience was composed of the first families of the city, including not merely all the foreign residents of distinction, but the élite of the bar and other learned professions of the city. After the overture the curtain drew upto anew vaudeville in two acts, called La mutt aux Soufiets, in which M. Lecourt, M. Dessonville, M. Richer, Madame Richer and Mademoiselle Amelia sustain- ed the principal parts. The plot of this Ii piece turns on the attempt of the very amorousand aristo- er ike of Ferrara to ravish a kiss from the lips ofa or ree lady ina dark garden, where the aforesaid demoiselle had gone to carry out a little intsigue with a youngerand more attractive admirer of her own fair selt. The Chevalier Candolle hits the aristocrat’ rathera plebeian slap, which salute, where a man expects a very different rejoinder, is calculated to put him in not the best of all possible tempers. ‘The second act is occupied with the en- deavors of the lovers, with the aid of Réné de Monateléone, to procure the pardon of the great man, who at no condescends to believe it alla mis- take, and the lovers are made happy. In the course of the piece we were particularly pleased with the acting of Madame Richer and M. M. Lecourt and Deseonville. a ¢ Alter the vaudeville, an opera Bufla, by Scribe, called “ Polichinelli,” introduced the audience to M. Bernard, a tall, portly actor, with a very good barritone voice ; and Madame Lecourtt, a lady who ‘est dates from the other side of the Atlantic are to the Sth inst., but they were not productive of any feature of peculiar inter eat.

Manshiuues, April 22.—Ceftee appeared rather firmer, though with®ut any advance in price, and the transac- tions were confined to 360 Havana at 50f per 60 kilo. grams, in bond ; 250 bags St. Domingo at 461 ; 52 bags St. Jago at 65f, and 150 bags Havana triage at 36f. Cotton maintained the same price as before. Axtwenr, April 24.—Cotton in the beginning of the week was totally neglected, but within the last few days two cargoes, the one of 1000 bales Louisiana, and the other of 850 bales Georgie, were sold on speculation at different prices, according to quality. The business in Hides was less animated than the preceding week, and saited were over }c cheaper.

Excrrsions ann Watering Pxaces.—A more agreeable paragraph cannot be written than one calling the attention of the public to the numerous delightful excursions that can be made out of the city, at about the expense of a glass of root beer, or of ginger pop. Such transitions—inso short a time —and at so trifling expense—and so much pleasure and fun, are temptations which should be resisted i : leasing voice, though not of a ver, by no one.
