General Sonnenberg had published an order of the day, condemming the treatment of the prisoners, and ‘recommending that they should be humanely treated. A general ainnesty had granted to all persons under twenty years of “This Extraordinary Diet of Switzerland met again on the 1th instant, when, on the motion of M. for S lL F twelve cantons vot- Ne ad ofan “invitation” to Lucerne, to issue an amnesty. A similar proposal relative to the cantons of Argau, Valais, and Tessino was not adopted. A sum of 250,000 Swiss francs, to be supplied by the federal treasury, was voted for defraying the expenses occasioned by the calling out of the federal contingents. On the 12th the question of reducing the number of troops called out by the Vorort was to come under discussion. Several edi- tors of radical newspapers are stated to have been killed or captured in the expedition against Lucerne. Germany. Inunpation In Bercium anp Germany.—The Flemish papers contains sad accounts of inundations in various parts of Belgium and Germany, arising trom the change of the weather. At Mayenne, on the 30th ult. the Rhine was at an elevation which it had not attained in 1844, and the villages in that quar- ter had sutlered much in consequence. At Worms, no communication could take place otherwise than by boats. The Danube, arising above its limits, had inundated the contiguous lands. At Nuremburg, the well known Correspondent, could not be Breteetane ag usual, the waters having rendered the printing of- fice inaccessible. The Gazette de Coblentz, of March 30, states that the village of Ni ndorf, is under water, and that the Moselle, bursting from its proper bounds, has flooded the tract formerly covered by it, but latterly used as pasturage. ‘The distress of the people below Ebrenbreitstein, the streets of which were submerged, is very great, notwithstanding that succour has been liberally distributed among the poor victims of the inundation At Mayence, on the st inst., the waters were beginning to retire in| some degree. Letters from Dresden of the date of March 30, describe the waters of the Elbe to be high- er than they have been at any time since 1784, e cathedral church, situated in the old town, is sub- merged, as well as the royal stables. There was no communicatlon between one part of the city and ano- ther except by boats. The river was still rising, and housesjwere constantly abandoned, the damage done in different quarters proving enormous. Accounts from Bremen, of March 31, state that at an earl, that morning the dikes of the Weser gave way at a point where such a calamity could have been least expected. ‘The waters were rushing forth with ama- zing impetuosity, carrying with them trees and moveables of all kinds, including the wrecks of hu- man habitations. By ten o’clock a dozen houses had been overthrown by the floods, and before the day ‘was out no fewer than 38 were destroyed. The num- ber of poor creatures who had fallen victims to the catastrophe was not ascertained, but it was necessa- rily considerable,since no danger in this part had been apprehended, and the inhabitants were wholly un- prepared for lt. Numbers had taken refuge on the roofs of their dwellings, and there was great dif- ficulty in rendering them any assistance. ‘The accounts from all parts of the Elbe received at Bremen were afflicting. The waters were stlll rising. Advices from Affenbach of the 1st inst. an- nounce that half that town is under water, the river having risen to a height quite unprecedented. The damage caused by the floods in the town is estimated at 100,000 guilders, and it was feared that disease would show itself among families obliged to reinain in the midst of this ‘mortal humidity.” The Revue de Paris states that the greatest inundation of which Germany has during two centuries preserved the re- collectien were those of 1655 and 1784; nevertheless, neither of those events was so disastrous as the in- undations of the-present year. The entire Germanic confederation, a part of Austria, and of Poland, have been literally under water since the 80th of March.— The Rhine, the Maine, the Neckar, the Danube, the Elbe, the Vistula, have in succession overtlowed their banks, notin aday, butinanhour. Frankfort, Mentz, Cologne, Dresden, Prague, and a number of other towns, and several thousand villages, were co- vered with water. The magnificent bridge of Dres- den has been carried away, and many edifices have been destroyed. Inthe midst of the general desola- don, public charity has not remained inactive. Com- mittees have been formed of the cities, and assist- ance has been afforded inevery direction. At the, head of the Committees are inscribed the names of kings, princes, ministers, generals, provincia! gover- nors, and bishops. One committee collected at Ber- hn, between the Ist and 17th of April, 104,792 thalera, (£16,000 British.) Theatricals, &. Mapamg CasTettan.—This artist, who made her appearance at Her Majesty’s Theatre, in London, short time previous to the sniling of the packet, has been onthe whole very successful. The London Standard says—Her triumph was the greater, as in all respects the position of Madame Castellan was most trying—the task of performing a character fa- miliar to the English public through the interpreta- tion of Madame Persiani. This singer is, without compare, the greatest mistress of vocalisation on the Italian stage; her musical fioriture and chrome- tic passages would be stereotyped in_ print, were it not that they are so varied and beautifully eccentric that they escape imitation. The principal beauty of the voice, however, does not lie in this power alone —as an instrument and a means of execution it is surpassed by every good violin, whether touched by the Belgic Vieuxtemps or the dancing St. Leon. Madame Castellan makes us feel its real source of superiority—as an interpretation of the passions and of the feelings ; her reading of the part of Amina is totally different, it is all expression and pathos—and to render the contrast and the varying shades of her feelings, when Amina’s dreams are the remem- brance of misery, and she has recourse to prayer as her last resource, and then suddenly awakens to the oonsciousness and ecstacy of unexpected happiness —she commands an immense range of Sane beautiful notes. Her contralto expresses the dept of her misery ; while her high soprano revels in her triumph of joy. If to this be added that her dramatic talent never abandons her for a moment, and that ehe has the ingenuous simplicity,the graceful youth, and the winning beauty so desirable, if not absolute- ly essential, in such a part, every one must be con- vinced how much we have gained by the acqui: tion of another Amina, the other charmer being far away. Madame Castellan awakened the most en- thusiastic applause, and she had, above all, to con- tulate herself upon the open approbation testified yan august dilettante, the first in taste as well as in power. On the other hand, the Britannia says, “ Prodi- gious puffing has been resorted to in order to make agreat prima donna of Madame Castellan, but the organized system of eulogy from the opera sanc- tum will be of no force against public opinion and taste. Castellan is a very accomplished vocalist, and in a concert room heard with infinite gratitica- tion, but she has not a particle of dramatic inspira- tion. Her acting is purely mechanical and conven- tional, and the ri malty of muscle peculiar to her otherwise pretty face, is totally opposed to varying expression. Nothing could be more artificial than her “Lucia.” The music is also too high for her. Her voice is a mezzo soprano, the lower notes of which are to be preferred, but her higher notes are hard, ulbeit pretty well in tune. The clague ensured her a good reception, but it will never be able to main- tain her in the position of a first rate prima donna.” Hackett, since bis London engagement, has been acting with great success in Idinburgh and Glas- ow, and was at Dublin at the latest dates; but had ee sent for to appear before the Queen and the British Court, at Drury Lane, on the 24th of April, the occasion being a state visit. General Tom Thumb is the rage among the Pari- sians at present. One of the journals says, ‘No such sensation has been created.among the fair, since the first appearance of Lemuel Gulliver at the Court of Brobdi gnag.” Mr. Forrest concluded hisengagementat the Prin- cess’s in the tragedy of King Lear, He proceeded to Bristol, Edinburgh and Dublin immediately. The intention of taking an English company to Parisunder his management has fallen tothe ground, in consequence of the directors of the Odeon not being able to ensure Mr. Forrest the uninterrupted occupancy of the theatre for the time required, one month. Mr. Templeton is about to embark for America, where he intends giving a series of lectures on Scottish music. * A new comic opera, by Auber, entitled Le Duc @Olonne, had been brought out at the Princess’s Theatre, and was very favorably received. Atthe Italian opera house, on the 7th ult., the fa- mous Danseuses Viennoises made their appearance between the acts of the opera, and ing ¢ ballet, | which was “Moline.” They are a party of thirty- six little girls from Vienna; and anything more de- lightful than theia appearance, or more ca ivaling than their dancing, cannot be imagined. They are a set of lovely creatures, from seven years o} , Wwe should think, to thirteen or fourteen, formed into the most picturesque groups, and going through a thousand pretiy evolutions ‘with the most exquisite grace, rendered still more exquisite by their inno- cent hilarity and air of heart-felt njoyment. audience were transported, and one continued thun- der of applause rolled from every part of the theatre during the whole time they were on the etage. At the conclusion bouquets were showered upon the singe which the little damsels scrambled for with a childish eagerness that was very amusing. The “adults,” for the time, were quite thrown into the back ground. The Queen, Prince Albert, and the chess of Kent were present. Mr. Lover has produced another eccentric and humorous entertainment, comprising anecdotes of the Irish peasantry—droll, original, aud characteris. tic, some of then brilliant—with a’number of songs The loway Indians are at Manchester. One of the number 1s ill in the hospital there. Herr Standige and Miss Birch, are engaged by the Philharmonic Society in London. Mr, John Parry has composed a new song. It is replete with comic eflects, carried on in dialogue between a loving couple, something after the scenes in Three Weeks after Marriage, between the Colo- nel and his teasing spouse. It has been highly sue- cessful. Prince Albert has composed anew anthem, en- titled “Out of the deep have I called thee.” It'was rehearsed for the time on the 26th ult, at St. George’s chapel. Her Majesty was present, and expressed her delight at the composition ; and of course, every one present praised it as a chef d’ew vre. Mr. Malone Raymond has succeeded Mr. Leon- ard, at Theatre Royal, Dublin, as a representative of Irish peculiarities there. He has been successful, The Distin Family are now in Liverpool giving concerts. They have frequently had the honor of performing before royalty, her Majesiy Queen Vic- toria having taken the greatest delight in their harmo- nious strains,and frequently commanded their attend- ance at Windsor; and Louis Phillipe, the King of the having shown them especial favor. Keinble is very successful with his Shak- spearian readings in London. New ballet divertissement, entitled “Kaya,” was brought out at her Majesty’s Theatre on the 17th ult. for the purpose of introducing the two Spanish dan- cers Dona Manuela Perea, better known as “La Nena,” and Don Felix Garcia, speak of them:— This extraordinary couple gave two sets of Spanish dances,no doubt of indisputable authenticity; historical to the lift ofatoe. The castanets were used ‘throughout ; and the mevements, apparently of the bolero family, oc- curred at intervals, after the arti had looked steadfast- ly at cach other during a volu § symphony.

During the last four weeks an improvement of £2 per ton has taken place. Rumor makes free with the names of many parties, who, taking “time by the forelock,” in the railway excitement, bought the article at a low figure, and are now realizing handsome fortunes by selling at the current rates, The corn trade is inanimate, and although the season is backward, it is found favorable for seed sowing There is an absence of all speculation, and the trade merely sup- ply their temporary wants. Wheat has sustaindd a de cline of 2d. per bushel of 70lbs., and flour 1s, per sack of 28 Ibs. In foreign wheat, as well as under lock, there are few sales to report.

Loxpon Trap Rerort, Fripay Evenina, Apri 13.—Sugar.—The total purchases of the week in the British Plantation Market amount to about 2,900 hogs- heads and tierces. Prices are about 6d. per cwt. highe: than on Friday last, and the market has a firm app ance.

Like all the Spanish dances, the body and arms had as much to do as the legs, and the two exhibitors who thus undertook to unfold a few samples of their national art, evidently pos- sessed many alert qualifications for the task ; they writh- ed themselves into a variety of picturesque forms, and they cracked their eastants as merrily as ifthey wore at a Madrid bull-feast. Something of the Cachuca and also of the Gitana appeared as the basis of each illustration, and now and then the caught a phrase or two of the airs themselves. The audience seemed to relish the buoyant vigour of the dances; and their freedom, and animated impulse, will in all probability give them a short popularity. Their genuineness is strongly vouched for. Fanny Etsster at Miay.—A letter, dated March 16th, in the Musical World, says, in reference to this celebrated danseuse—*'The people here are quite mad about her. I never could have imagined such a scene as the Scala presented, after the ballet was over, Inst night. Elisler was called for twenty- six times, and each time the flowers were showered upon here from all parts of the house in such pro- fusion, that, at last the stage was covered with them ancle deep. Some of the nosegays were as large in circumference as a breakfast table, caried on by men, and placed at her feet; at the same time, from the upper boxes, were thrown thousands of connets, addressed to her. They were above three quarters of an hour collecting the flowers, which were placed in baskets and carried to her hotel. There was then a serenade with two of the military bands, which did not conclude till past three o’clock in the mote : : The French journals are in ecstacies about the splendor of a fairy piece at the Porte St. Martin called La Biche aux Bois. In the course of this unique drama, it appears that the dramatis persona are changed into carp, salmon, mushrooms, &c. At the Opera La Favorite has been acted, with Ma- dame Stoltz and MM. Latour and Gardoni as the panei characters. Mademoiselle Plunkett, well known in this country, has danced in principal rdles with success, It would appear that the present is the most proli- fic musical season known in Pa: “ Among the most interesting concerts given this year, figures,” says a private letter, “ that of Madame Katinka de Dietz, lately appointed pianist to Her Majesty the Queen of Bavaria, and who proposes visiting Lon- don in the course of this month.” Theatrical atlairs, the opera particularly, are on the decline in France. The Goyernment contribute £30,000 to the sustainment of the Grand Opera, notwithstanding which it isin a state of decadence. M. Duprez, ui Breet tenor singer, is now playing at Drury-lane, with much succese. At the Lyceum, a new drama, in two acts, entitled “On Duty,” was brought out, and received with menattactts applause. It was first produced at Co- vent-Garden some years‘ago, and is the work of Mr. Pococke. Keeley is the hero. At the Olympic, a drama, translated and adapted by Miss Davenport from the celebrated play by Du- mas, “The Duchess of Guise,” was produced on the 7th instant to a crowded house. e piece was followed by a new farce called “Humbug.” Mr. Sands and his infant brother Maurice have been playing with considerable success at the Prin- cess’s Theatre, d-la Risley. Mr. Templeton is about to. embark for America, where he intends giving a series of lectures on Scot- tish music. On dit, that Macready will open Covent Garden next season.

The selection included the “Newfoundland Dog,” “The Maniac,” “A Life on the Ocean,” “The Gambler’s ,Wife,” “The Slave Ship,” and several national American melodies. Ather Majesty’s theatre, on the 8th instant, Grisi and Lablache made their appearance in “Norma,” aaron? in the best of health, and certainly in the full possession of their powers.

Loxnox Moxey Manxet, April 18.—Tho English funds have been steady to-day, without material change.

The last advices, although favorable, had no great effect on prices, and it is considered that the speculators, having satisfactorily settled their late aacouut, are now buying upon the intelligence then received. The Actives left off this afternoon firm at 38} to #, and the Deferred at 18} to } ; Spanish was fairly supported at 31 to } for the ive per Cents, and at 40} to 7 for tho Three per Cents. other quotations were—Belgian, 100 to 101; Bra 87 to 88; Buenos Ayres, 42 to 43; Chilian, 98 to 100 Colombian, 153 to 16 ; Danish, 88 to 89 ; Dutch ‘Two an 4 Half per Cents, 634 to § ; the Four per Cents, 97j to | ; Portuguese, 66} to 67} ; and Peruvian, 32 to 33. Canapa Boxns.—The £200,000 Canada bonds offered in a Treasury notice form the fifth parcel of a loan of £1,500,000 ‘authorized to be raised by the act of Parlia- ment. ‘It may be useful to state the amount of the provi- ous parcels, and the result of the tenders made for them. The amount of the first parcel, which was,offered in 1842, was £300,000, of which the small portion of £6000 was taken at 110}, while the rest was taken at 108. The same amount was offered in 1843, and £50,000 was taken at £109 Is, while the rest was taken at 109, In 1844 the third parcel, amounting likewise to £300,000, was offer- ed, and was all taken at one price of 112j. The fourth parcel, which came out in the same year, amounted but to £200,000. Of this £120,000 was taken at 112, and the rest at 111}. The parcel at present offered makes up the amount of £1,300,000, so that when it is disposed of there will still remain a sixth parcel of £200,000; the whole having been divided into three parcels of £300,000, and three of £200,000, The Canada debentures are little dealt in by the public; they are generally takon and hold as a ‘ood dividend paying security, yielding four per cent by the Banks and the Assurance Companies, Commenciat ScmMany.—The London Produce markets have been marked by a good deal of business; the home trade is active, but as the supply is liberal, ani the mer- chants come forward with their goods freely, prices have been receding; the Government contract for 100,000 gal- lons of rum, half of the Seanity, of Wost India,has been taken by Messrs. Lemon & Co., ata very low figure. In the manufacturing districts business ix less , but there is nothing to indicate a permanent falling off ia the demand, The last steamer, it w: 1 be remembered, sailed an hour or two after the explanations in Parliament respecting the Oregon question. When the detention of the packet to carry out these explanations, was buzzed about, the | Cotton’ market felt the influence of the warlike rumors which prevailed; and previous to her getting under weigh a considerable amount of business, at improved prices, | was transacted; an advance of an eighth, and in some in. stances of a farthing, was secured. Baring the early part of the week following her departure the excitement con- tinued, but it was of brief duration, and has been follow- ed by @ corresponding depression; the subsequent advi- | cos, which the Now York packets brought, ‘respecting the amount of the lastcrop, had a sedative effect; they sent the market back a trifle; and the arrival of the Cam- bria, on Sunday, with later intelligence, has put an end to i eae altogether. Still the trade buy regularly. The American Provision Market has improved by the accounts Which the Cambria brought home. Previously the market was firm, but tiey led to an advance in the rates.

Importers of West India Mucevado having been free sellers at former rates, buyers have been tempted to come forward with in. creased freedom, and for every description the demand has been extensive from grocers and refiners ; the pur- chases for the threo market days amounting to 2000 hhds, &c., fee) 34 hhds of Barbadoes at auction, which wont at 49s 6d to 50s 6d for middling, and at 51s 6d per cwt for good quality.

Spirits are in brisk request at 37s 6d for puns, and 388 6d per cwt for carboys. In tar little has Boen’ done, and ‘there aro sellers at 168 to. 16s Gd per barrel. Molasscs.—There are few purchasers of West India, although thore are sellers at a further decline in prices, and 15s to 19s per cwt is the value ; the consump- tion is interfered with by the cheapness of brown sugar. This afternoon 71 barrels of Bengal treacl uty, paid, were offered at public salo ; the quality was equal to the patent treacle made here. ‘The whole was taken at 174 per cwt, being rather above the value. *Rice.—The market has been fully supplied, and prices have declined a trifle for the middling and common qualities of all des- criptions ; of a large quantity of East India offered for sale by auction, the greater part was withdrawn, rather than submit to lower rates. Seeds.—Linseed is much in requost, and the stock being light, our crushers, who are the principal operators, have been compelled to pay afurther advance. Odessa is selling at 478 to 48s. Si. Petersburgh 45s to 46s, other kinds of Baltic 43s to 44s, and East India 44s to 46 per quarter. In rape seed the operations are upon a more extended scale at firm rates. Although cloverseod can be purchased upon low terms, still there has been little doing; in fact the season is nearly closed. In foreign linseed cakes oxtensive pur- chases have been made at £7 10s to £8 5s per ton, and nearly all tho late arrivals have been cleared off the market, but English have been purchased with caution at £11 per 1000 cakes. Tho supply is still scanty of rapo cakes ; thero are ready purchaser at 102s 6d to 105s per ton.

Since Tues- day, when accounts were received of continued large receipts inthe American ports, there has been less dis- position to purchase, and the market has closed heavily at the quotations of Friday last. Speculators have ta- ken 6760 American; and exporters 2680 American, 300 Pernams, and 150 Surat. to 46,530 bales. Livenroot Cotton Marxsr, Arai 18th—The mar- ket opened on Saturday with a good demand, both from the trade and speculators, and prices of com- mon American advanced 4d. per Ib. Since that day, speculation has in a great measure ceased, and although thors hes beens Bit enquiry for export, and the trade has bought regularly, the advance has not been main- tained, and the quotations of last week are now barely supported. In all other descriptions there is no change to notice. Speculators have taken 7300 American, and 200 Pernambuco, and exporters 2170 American, 270 Per- nambuco, and 60 Madras. The sales of the week amount to 41,910 bales. Livanroot, April 18.—Corn.—We have nothing favora- ble to report of our corn market, which is characterized by the same want of animation that has prevailed in this branch of trade for some time past. The season is very backward, still the weather of late has been favorable for soed sowing, and with present prospects there is no dis- sition to speculate atthe current rates for any grain.

In Tobacco, we had little or no variation, prices remaining the same as last quoted. Our first hand sales, consisting of 100 hhds Maryland; about 700 hhds are expected to be brought this week into the market ; from Batavia 636 packages Java have been im- ported here by the Sylphide.

Now York, Th ursday, May 8, 1845. ~ Supplem a, We have this morning been compelled, by the press of important matter, to issue another supple- ment. The News from Europe—Its Intorest and Importance, The news from England and the rest of Europe, brought by the “ Hibernia,” is extremely interesting ina variety of aspects. It was looked for with much anxiety, because people expected to hear new developments ef the sentiments of the British government, in relation to Oregon,Texas, and other matters. The moral war against the United States, grow- ing out of the position of the Oregon question, is still fiercely waged by the British press; but nothing farther has been said on the subject in Parliament. There are some indications, however, that a deeper feeling exists in the British government, with regard to the Oregon question, than has, as yet, been gone- rally supposed. We have reference to the rumor that eight thousand troops are about to be sent to Canada, which comes to us through the Irish papers. We should not be at all surprised to see a vast body of troops sent to Canada, in order to operate on this country, in the manner attempted in the case of the North Easter Boundary. Another important indi- cation on this subject, is the statement in the Lon- don papers, that a war clause had been introduced into all marine policies of insurance at Lloyd’s. ‘This ie more significant than any thing we have yet seen; for there can be no doubt that this measure has been adopted by the underwriters at Lloyd’s on the best authority in London, as to the intentions of the British government on the subject of the Oregon question. Another very remarkable incident, is the haste with which Sir Robert Peel is de- parting from his original policy of strong oppo- sition to O’Connell and Irish reform. He is now endeavoring to conciliate the Irish party by extending the grant to Maynooth, which has created a great sensation in England, and threatens, it is intimated in some quarters, to overthrow the present ministry, and revolutionize political parties in Great Britain.— We look on it ina different light. Sir Robert Peel is anxious to conciliate O’Connell and the repealers by some such concessions as that grant, even at the risk of inflaming the Protestants of England and other parts of the empire; evidently, however, with the view of uniting the whole country in opposition to the United States in the Oregon negotiations. This derives additional confirmation from the con_ tinuance, with fresh violence, of the attacks upon the institutions of the South by O’Connell in the repeal conyenticles in Dublin. Altogether there seems to be a great deal of confusion in the state of parties in Great Britain and Ireland. Tories—conservatives— whigs—radicals—Protestants—Catholios, all appear to be shifting their various positions, and it would seem that the ferme produced by the effort of the ministry to conciliate O'Connell and the Irish party, in order tojbe able to present a strong and united front to the United States in the future nego- tiations on the Oregon question. This is made the open and avowed reason of the grant to Maynroth in the debates of the House. John Bull at last is fright- ened at Brother Jonathan. Good. This is the most plausible and probable view that can be taken of the present state of affairs in Great Britain,with reference to this country. On the eon- tinent a most remarkable condition of things at_ tracts our attention, War has already broken out in Switzerland between the Protestants and Catholics; and a state of feeling exists between the sects in Germany, which threatens to pro- duce very speedily the same state of hostility. — The religious animosities which agitated Europe two or three centuries ago, and produced the long and bloody ware which devastated the Continent, seem to have broken out afresh, and there is now every probability that the same angry feelings of seetarian hostility are generating all over Christendom, throughout France and Italy, and other parts of Europe, which have now burst forth in open war in Switzerland. Evenin England, and throughout the British empire, a similar state of things exists, and is repressed only by the fear of a collision with the United States on the Oregon question. Who knows but these religious passions, waked up at last after the slumber of centuries, may create a general war in Europe, before many years have passed, which may lead to an entirely new, fresh, and revolutionary formation of political and civil society throughout the old world? If these religious passions should break out generally in open war, it is probable that a third party, the republicans throughout Europe, would be abletoraise their heads, and to organize theirmoral and physical forces, so as to originate a revolution that would sweep away for ever the two contending sects, and all the despotic dynasties with which they havo become intertwined. There must be one day, sooner or later, a final and decisive conflict between Protos- tantism and Catholicism in Europe, and the result will be anew and better era in society, and civiland religious liberty in the ancient world. The difficulties between Europe and the United States, only form an episode in the great movement of society, on those opposing principles which are now coming into collision everywhere throughout the old Continent. Treatricats in Enouanp.—The English papers are quite silent about the American actors. Little is said about Mies Cushman, or Hackett, or Forrest. All the powers of eulogy of the London press, ap- pear to have been exhausted on Madame Castellan. She has had the most splendid triumph. She was firat appreciated in this city, and her eareer thus re- sembles that of Malibran, who was first appreciated here, and then went to London, where she became the prima donna of all Europe. Castellan may soon occupy the same proud eminence. Her debut at Her Majesty’s Theatre was brilliant in the ex- treme. Queen Victoria herself could not retain her expressions of applause, and quite astonished the nobility, whose approbation burat forth in a torrent, No doubt Miss Cushman is making a great deal of money.

She never appeared in finer condition, and certainly as far as appearances went, was worthy of all their admiration and sup- port.

The Union Course on the day of the great match, and Suto the week, will be under the charge of the New York police officers, Hays, Stevens, Me- Grath and some twenty-five others, besides the She- riff of the county, and his police foree. Justice Matsell will be on the Sround on the day of the great race, and will take incharge the police arrangements. There appears to be every preliminary endeavor made to preserve order and keep the course clear on the oseasion; and should there be any attempt to tho, contrary, there is little doubt but that the police, if necessary, will be ably assisted by the admirers of ood sport and fair play, to put it promptly down. .
