Congealed on board the St. Nichol nad ed the customary formality of (he weriieanen ot parse porte, and it was at the instance of Mr. Emer ‘son that the police became apprised of this Soni vention, and started in pursuit. The absence of » complaint, and the immediate releas , gives credit tc the version which attributes this flight to sentimen tul motives. [he National overtook the St. Niche Jas towards noon, about twelve miles west of La Aleve, and went thence to Trouville, and returned at aigpe 19 Have Ireland. The weekly meeting of the Repeal Association was held on Monday, July 21, William Magennis in the chair. con Mr O’Covyweut acknowledged the receipt of £12 from New York, and read a letter accompanying the remittance, which animadverted on certain ex pressions uttered by Mr. O'Connell on a late ocea- sion, to the efiect that if England rendered justice te f Ireland, she might calealate on the assistance of Irishmen ia enabling her “to humble the proud ea- >of America.” What he (Mr O'Connell) said asion referred to was, that if England did render justice, full and ample justice, to Lreland, she would be in such a position, ihrough the co-opera- tion of Irishmen, as to defy all the nations of civil- ized Europe, and would be even able to pull down the flag of America itself. Such was the senument he uttered, and he believed such was the sentiment of Lreland also. It was in consequence of the blus- tering of Mr. Polk with regard to the Oregon terri- tory, a blustering which had since feeased, that he had been drawn into the observations complained of Mr. Polk evidently calculated on a diversien in his favor ia Ireland, should a rupture take piace be- tween “ngland and America. Having expressed the gratification he feit at the opportunity atiorded hun ef explaiming, he moved the insertion of the laver on the minutes, and the thanks ot the associa- tion to the writer, Mr O’Connett again rose, and said as that wes last opportunity he should have for some time of dressing the association, he considered it advisa- ble to lay the present state of Ireland betore the pub- he. He wished it, however, to be understoc he did not intend to be idle; on the contra cut out a considerable quantity of work tor which would occupy him during his sojourn in the country. Mr Fitzroy Kelly, her Majesty’s Solicitor Geaeral, in his late address to the electors of Cam- bridge, had stated that agitation and agrarian dis turbances had ceased in Ireland; but as a proof of his accuracy in the affairs of Ireland, he had to state that he expected to have the pleasure of addressing 150,000 men of the county Wexford on the next Wednesday, and an equal number in Galway during the ensuing week. Traut was no sign that the agita- tion was subsiding; and lest the government should forget that there were such people as the Insh, it was determined upon to hold two monster meetings during each month. (Cheers) The ministry hac certainly altered their tone with regard to Ireland, and Sir James Graham had retracted his expression **thut concession to Ireland had reached its limits,” but he would never rest satistied till treland was placed on a footing of pertect equality with England The country, he regretted to say, was not in such a state of tranquillity as'could be desired. Praedial dis turbance was rife in many counties. In fact the country was not in such a state for twenty years past. Fermanagn was disturbed, but he could not even guess at the reason, as it was blessed with a large number of most excelleat landlords; but nevertheless, the ‘“ Molly Maguires,” were busy in circulating their notices. Thatthe country was dis- tarbed there could be no question; and wast not melancholy to have her Majesty’s Solicitor General coming forward and stating deliberately, that peace, order, and obedience to the laws existed? Yes, Mr. Fitzro Kelly asserted, that agitation had ceased in Treland, andgthat tranquillity reigned. — Whilst he gave the Government credit for their good wishes towards this country, he would ask how tar had the promise held out in the Queen’s speech, atthe opening of the session, with regard to Ireland, been fulfilled? The Maynooth bill had cer- tainly been passed, but that meastre was more valu- able in its collateral nature than for the eadowment iteonferred The discussions which it gave rise to plainly showed the innate hatred of the English roe to the religion of the people of this country the Colleges Bill he might look upon as passed, and were they to consider that measure as a boon which the Catholie prelates had pronounced to be dange- rous to faith and morals? Ithad been asserted that the opposition to this bill would be moderated, but he Was in a position to be able to state that the opi- nions of the bishops with regard to it were unchang ed, and would continue so. It was reasonably ex- pected that some alteration would have been made in the Charitable Bequests Act during the present in, but the answer of Sir James Graham to the qnestion proposed by Lord Arundel, in the Honse of Commons, on Friday night, has completely dissipa- tedall hopes of amelioration The Catholic Bish- eps, who had supported that measure solely on tre rouad that the amendments they suggested would be introduced, had remonstrated with the govern- menton the treachery that had been practised upon them, but the answer to their remonstrances was, that the best consideration of the government would be direeted to the points suggested ; but their best consideration just meantno consideration at all — After referring to a variety of topics having refe- rence to the future mode of carrying on the agita- tion, Mr. O'Connell concluded by giving notice of his intention to prepare and putin torm, during hie sojourn in the country, the following bills, with a view to their adoption by the British legislature, and that each member of Parliament should be farnish- ed with copies of them ful'y six. weeks before the commencement of the next session :— 2 An Act to enable her most gracious majesty (o ex- ercise, without delay, her undoubted prerogative to sum nou her Parliament of [reland, to coutain clauses decia- ratory— 1 Of her majesty’s power and authority to issue writs of summons to all the peers of Ireland, and writs for the election of members of the House of Commons of Ire lend, not to exceed the ancient number of three hun- red. 2.

From a return issued on the 19h instant, by or- jer ot the House of Lords, it appears that the tota! umber of outrages specially reported by the con- tabulary in Ireland, during the month of June last, was 396 The number in May was 823; that in june, 1844, only 446. Of the 896 outrages se repor- ted during the last month, 183 were of agrarian churacter France. Our advices from Paris are to the 24th ult The Constitutionnel states that it is not improba- ble that a general election will take place in the month of November. It says that when M. Sauzet, the President of the Chamber, waited on the King, his Majesty expressed himself in terms which left no doubt on M. Sauzet’s mind, that the present Chamber would be dissolved before the end ef the year, and that M. Sauzet and several other function- aries have consequeatly lett Pans in all haste to pre- pare for the coming contest. We see by the Paris papers of eit Seta on Wednesday Murshal Soult, rebuked by M. De Boissy tor severity to the army in Algiers, took occasion to palliate the abominable massacre at Dahra.— Tt would,” he said, “have been atrocious in Eu- rope ; but such things are necessary in Africa; and the exterminated tribe had committed cruelties on French soldiers.” The French p pe s loudly renew their indiguant protest on this extenuation of the atrecity The Chambers were prorogued on Monday. The royal ordinaace of prorogation was carried to the Chouinber of Peers by Marshal Soult, President of the Couneil ; and to the Chamber of Deputies, by M_ Dunion, Minister of Publie Works. The other laws published in the Moniteur are, that for the re-organization of the Council of State; the law relative to the police ot railroads, and others, appropriating 2,650,000f for tee restoration of the Cathedral of Paris, ee of 7,461,000f. for the con- struction of ua hotel for the Foreign Department, and of buildings for the Stamp Office and Registry, and the archives of the Court of Accounts. || The French funds improved on Monday, princi- pally on account of the rise in British consols. Spain. 2 Madrid papers of the Mth state, that the decree against the press has roused some opposition even. mong the supporters of the Ministry, but it is of that weak and uncertsin kind that might be expec- ted where the writers feel that the most moderate ishment, or ruin The Madrid papers give long accounts of the pro- wress of the insurrection in Catalonia, but they add nothing to the intormation direct from Barcelona. The Queen's visit to the Basque provinces had not vet been officially announced, but was considered certain. The question of her Majesty’s marriage continued to be discussed by the organs of the press. The Gazette publishes several despatches rel- ative to the occurrence in Catalonia. Three soldiers of the Queen’s troops and five revolters had been killed in the attack against San Andres de Palomar. The accounts from Barcelona state that the insur- rection in that principality might be deemed at an end. The Queen was to leave on the 17th tor Va- lencia, by sea, and would, after remaining there a few days, proceed to Madrid. Bayonne letters of the 18th ult., state, on the con trary, that the constant movements of troops in the Basque provinces, were held to indicate that her Ma- Jesty would visit those districts. Belgium. The Moniteur of the 19h ult., publishes a compa- rative review of the public revenue for the first six months of this year. The amount was— francs, cenls {n 1845,.... «+». 35,891,716 17 In 1844... Increase in 1545,.

Motte, Rosser & Co, at Rouboux, was totally destroyed by fire, which broke out at two the afternoon. The staircases having caught fire at the very beginning, the workmen took refuge in the upper stories, some jumping out of the windows — One of them broke his limbs, and is dead ; two others are severely wounded. Some workmenand women who were on the sixth story, surrounded and threatened on all sides by tlames, uttered the mosi piercing cries, and present- vd a lamentable spectacle as they stood at the win- dows while means were preparing to save them; they were, however, all got down by means ef lad- ders, ropes, We, but several received contusions id wounds. The loss is estimated at two millions snd a half of francs (£100,000 sterling ) The manu- factory was not insured at its full value. It gave employment to 500 workmen. Sicily. Sicirtan Navy —A letter trom Naples states that the King of the Two Sicilies has of late years been much occupied with increasing his navy Itis, it , at present composed of twelve sailing ships ot ar; ameng which are one of 80 guns and four fri- yates, and twelve steamships, of which eight are large frigates with engines of three huadred horse power, mounted with Paixhan guns. The Kiny haserected at Pietrana a very large foundry for steamengines; and in a short time one of three han- died horse power, destined for a new frigate build- ing at Castellamare, will be finished. Switzerland. The Swiss Diet, in its eee the 17th ult., de- cided against entertaining, for the present, the ques- tion of a revision of the federal compact, by a ma- jority of fourteen and a half cantons against six and a half, and consequently the question stands over tll next year. The principle of a total revision of the com act had the support of only the five most ra- dical cantons, viz., Berne, Argau, Bale-country, Glaris, and Vaud. ‘The executive council of Zurich has decided on suffering Dr. Steiger and the three gendarmes who assisted yin in his escape, to enjoy the rights of hospitality, and on treating them as po- litical refugees. This resolution was unanimeus as respects Dr. Steiger, but there were some votes in favor of rgfusing the gendarmes permission to con- tunue in the canton Russia and Circassia, The Russian official military journal, the Invalide, of the 12th ult., contains a despatch to the Minister of War, frora the corgmander-in-ehiet of the army of the Caucasus, dated the 17th June, giving long de- tails of the movement of the troops, from May 29 to Jane 5, on which day the Circassians were forced from an elevated position which they occupied at Antchimerer. Thev had assembled here to the number of from 2,500 to 3,000 men, but were at lasi obliged to fly precipitately. The Russian troops had only 17 men wounded The possession of this mountain, the report says, is very important, being the key to all the country round. Greeee. ConrraGRration at Smyrna.—The following de- tails are taken trom a private letter, dated Smyrna, July 9, 1845 :— “Smyrna is again in misery and ruin; a larger and more awful conflagration than the last com- menced on the evening of the 3d instant, continued violent'y tor twelve or fitteen hours, and upwards of two days in burning embers and side-fires, even up to yesterday; here and there magazines and tone buildings were burning—some from being opened too soon, when the heated air burst into a me. It began in the centre of the town, aided by \ furious north wind, (which afterwards changed, destroying every thing right and left, oat for a circumference, 1 culeulate, of at least a mile and a half. The town half side of Frank street is consumed, agi then right way to our exit out of town to Boudja. The Knglish hospital was saved by a miracle, and there- by preserved that part of the town and the so-called Rue de Rose. The Austrian hospital is barnt.— Close to it Borrell lives ; he was saved, although the lire was burning on three sides of him. Then, backwards, all the Armenian quarter, except Purdie “l, is destroyed. The fire skirted the Jews’ qaarter—burning some hundred houses—and then spread to the grandYizierKhan and up to the bazars. Shoemaker lane is all burnt, and round about St. George’s, ag in the former fire. ‘The three cor- ners, Atkinson’s, Maltass’s, &c., are saved itcame, ar tous, when Van Lennep’s and three or four adjoining houses were burnt; but all these bein built with terraces and long passages, the half on towards Frank street were consumed was fortunately stopped. By pulling houses down in the little lane we pase through, going into the country, from Frank street, we stopped iton that side of us, although it was very close. The Durch and Tuscan consulates were burnt; two or three large Knane—thatis, the Grand Vizier, anew made one, and Iinaum Ogia Khan were destroyed. The Greek hospital, close to the Austrian hospital, was saved by a great exertion, It has three hundred in- valids init. Fourteen or filteen large wine taverns sad their depots, &e., are gone. At one time the fire so raged, that had not a change of wind taken place, it was thought all Smyrna must have been in rains. M sumed, and the fire € nd larger even than that in 1797.

Many thousands are compelled to live out in the open air in the gar- dens, ted by charity, as they must be for some time; and the first day or so after the fire no bread was to be had. INsuRRECTION IN Canvia.—Letters from Beyrout, of the 29th of June, mention that intelligence had just arrived there of a general rising of the Greeks in Crete, but no particulars are given. Syria. The intelligence from Syria represent that country as being in a very disturbed state. The Druses were roving in quest of plunder, and intent upon pillaging all travellers who came within their reach. Egypt. On the 30th June, the French war-steamer,Gomer, arrived at Alexandra, with the Duke de Montpen- sieron board. The ostensible object of the Prince is to visit Mehemet Ali and Upper Egypt, but his Highness has chosen the very worst season of the year for ascending the Nile, as, besides the exces- sive heat, the river at present has throughout its Jullien and his bard commence a series of cone certs oh this evening. proprietor of the new ‘Theatre-Royal has offered £5 for the best poetical opening address. Miss Davenport, the celebrated actress, accom- panied by her father and mother, and a theatrical corps, recently left London tor Hamburgh. Mr. Lumley has managed his affairs so well at at her Majesty’s Theatre that he has become the proprietor of that splendid establishment. It is also whispered that he is the principal proprietor of the Morning Post newspaper. Madame Grisi, Signor Mario, the two Lablanches, and M. Benedict, are engoged at the fortheoming subscription Concerts in Liverpool, which are to be eld at the Amphitheatre, on the evenings of Friday, Monday, and Wednesday, the 5th, 8th and 10th Sep- tember next. Morton’s comedy, ‘ A Sehool for Grown Chil- dren,” compressed into three acts, was revived at the Haymarket Theatre, and was sencouingly well received. The comedy has not been played since 1827 ; and Farren, Buckstone, and Mrs. Glover, re- sumed their eriginal characters. Mr. Mitchell it 1s thought will repeat the French plays for a short season under royal patronage. Conti, of her Majesty’s Theatre, has been seri- ously indisposed. In the theatrical world there are two versions of ‘one story afloat ; imprimis that Benjamin Webster» of the Haymarket theatre, has got tired, and got nid ot Madame Vestris and Charles Mathews ; secundo, that the proprietors of Covent Garden, wincing un- course the very unpicturesque appearance of a dirty ditch between embankments fifteen feet high. _ During his aay Alexandria, the Prince resided at the palace of Sald Pasha, called the Gabareh,and was the object of the most assidious attention ou the part ot Mehemet Ali, who had just received in- telligence of the very gracious reception recent! given to his sons at Paris by Louis Phillippe, ani therefore he appears to have been doubly anxious to retarn the compatens by gratifying in every way the wishes of the Duke de Montpensier. India. _ : The Overland Mail has arrived, bringing dates from Calcutta, June 8d; Bombay, June 8d; Madras. June 10th; Galle, June Mth; Aden, June 30th; and Alexandria, July 10th. é The necean ty of dispatching the mail from Bom- bay some ten days earlier than usual, on account of the adverse monsoon, causes the division of the month’s news into two unequal portions, one em- bracing upwards of three weeks of it, and the other only one. | ‘ The most important local event is the passing of the new tariffact. _ i On the following articles only is the increase more than 14 and 3 per cent, when imported in British and foreiga bottoms menace British marine stores increase of duty, 2 and 4 per cent; foreign marine store, 4and 8; British metals, 2 and 4 ; Fo- reign metals 4 and 8; British woollens 3 and 6 ; fo- reign woollens 6 and 12 ; Wines and liqueurs, from 10 and 20 per cent. to] and 2 rupees per imp. gallon, This on the wines most extensively consumed amounts to an increase of aboutcent percent. The higher classes of wines it does not so much affect. On spirit the duty is raised from 9 annas per imperi- al gallon ; when imported in a British vessel, to 1 ru- pee, Sannas; and from1 rupee when in a foreign vessel, to 3 rupees. _ ‘ The press of India, which has lately suffered so much from casualues and changes, has aly by death lost two of 1ts members, oue of them at least a very conspicuous one—Captain McNaghten, the proprietor and editor of the Calcutta ERR, and Dr. Kindy, editor of the Ceylon Herald. In aa the government has reverted to the old ruler. The famous chief by whose aid the young Maherajah ousted his father was shot in the old man’s presence, and probably by his order, and the young man has sunk into his original insignificance. Matters have been very quietly settled there. 4 During the approaching rainy season an attempt is to be made by the government steamers to extend the navigation of the Ganges beyond Allihabad, its present limit, to Campore, and if possible to Fatte- guish, the latter being at a distance of about 200 miles beyond the present stopping place. China. The news from China isto the Sth April. The most remarkable item thereot is an account of an assault by a mob of Chinese on Mr. Montgome- ry Martin, Mr. Jackson, (the Vice-Consul,) and Rev. R. Hunter. These gentlemen were, it seems, walking round the walls of Canton, when they were Ehpreeoed ly set upon by the people,trom whom they luckily escaped with no other injury than the mortifi- cation ot being buffeted and robbed by a crowd of jow blackguards. The Governor of Hong-kong had sent to Keying to demand redress and guaran- tee for future good conduct, but the result is yet un- known. The commercial news is of little interest, trade being, as far as British goods are concerned, very dull. : From Amoy we learn that the troops were with- drawn from Koolungsoo on the 22d of March, and the island delivered over to the Chinese. The Ad- miral appeared delighted at this observance of faith on our part, of which he had probably entertained suspicion. The Chinese flag was hoisted by the troop ship and saluted with three guns, according to Chinese custom. The Admiral, on his part, hoisted the British ensiga, and saluted it with the same num- ber. We have to announce the death of the Bishop of Macao, which event took place on Saturday morn- ing last. New Zealand. A budget of official correspondence from New Zealand fos been issued by the Colonial-office ; the dates extending to the 26th March. They do not threw much additional light on the subject to which they relate, the outbreak of the natives; but there ure several important points. Governor Fitzroy ex- plains why he did not concentrate his troopson Ko- rorarika:—* Wellington was threatened,” and Heki meant to attack Auckland if the troops left it Lieut George Philpotts, who writes in a rather apo- logetic strain, imputes the defeat of the British to the abandonment of the outer block-house. So does Captain Sir Everard Home, of the Queen’s ship North Star; he attributes it, however, not to want of courage, but to want of jndgment, one part having seized the block-house while Mr. Campbell had left icto attack another party; and Mr Camp- bell isa young officer of but two years standing in the service. ‘It is remarkable,” says Sir Everard, “that the Protestant church ot Kororarika has been burnt down, whilst the Roman Catholic establish- ments remain untouched.” Governor _ Fitaroy meant to remain on the defensive until re-inforced: he has ‘had offers of assistance from several tribes in the north of New Zeuland, of ab 3,000 men ; which he declines accepting unless driven to ex- tremity, lest they should become his masters.” Un- der these cireamstances, the Captain says that he should depart from his order to leave New Zealand, until it were safe to do so. Theatricals. Kc. Miss Cusumax.—On the 22d ult. was the conclud- ing night of Miss Cushman’s engagement for the presentseason. The “ Stranger” was the play cho- sen for the occasion. A London papersays : “The part of Mrs. Haller 1s no favorite with us—neverthe- less, as the actress’s most successful assumption, it was, perhaps, wisely chosen, In other churacters, Miss Cushman had shown great physicalenergy and force of passion. In this she exhibited a quiet pow. er, anda tender pathos, which has repeatedly com- manded the applause ‘of numerous audiences, and uniformly penetrated the sacred fount of sympa- thetic tears. In concluding our notices of this lady, we have only to add, that for her success she bh been Itttle indebted to the management The ge ral inefficiency of the mise en scéne, and of the his- trionic talent of her coadjutors, has been marked and unprecedented in modern theatrical experi- ence. So far, therefore, the new actress has stood alone, and it is much that she has contrived to get through, not only with safety but honor, an ordeal more than usually perilous, for more, we beieve, than eighty nig ts. Since her final appearances were announced, she has attracted crowded houses, and has reason, we think, to be satisfied with the at enthusiasm of the audience on the evening of farewell.” This talented lady is not only getuing high 1 the ladder of fame, but is also in the way o' inaking a rapid fortune, Already has she sent to her agent in Philadelphia two handsome remittances.— She isthe favored guest of all circles—literary, entific and affluent—by whom she has the soubri- quet of the “talented American.” Her company is sought with the greatest eagerness. In our files, as far as at present received, wedo not see anything of Hackett or Forrest ; their where about or what about is not mentioned, Mad. Taglioni was to make her last appearance in London on the 31st ult. The Brussel’s corapany terminated their perfor mance at Drury Lane Theatre on the 27th ult. Mr. and Mrs. Vandenhofl were at the Theatre Royal, Liverpool, performing Antigone. Mr Sloan, of the Queen’s Theatre, Manchester, has become the lessee of the Sheffield Theatre for the ensuing eason. Herr Staudigt took his departure, last week, for Ostend, to fault] some of his engagements at Cologne and other cities on the Rhine. He will return in August for the Worcester and Norwich festivals. | The Queen's ‘Theatre, Manchester, has been taken by Mr. Sunwon, and fitted up in most excellent style. A good company has been secu tween the Liverpool, Manchester, and ingham theatres, there will be a constant succession of stats not fixed ones, The Manchester folks have no need to complain of wont of amusement. Misa Helen Faucit is ai Quven’s Theatre ; Madam Vestris, Charles Mathews and Miss Romer,Mr. W. Harrfion, and Borrani succeed there. Miss Kainforth,, Miss Poole, with Messrs Manvers and Stretton, are at Cooke's Cir cus. The * Dansueses Viennoises” were attract- ing good audiences to the Free-trade Hall, where der the wrath of the court, are determined to do all they can to open their theatre for dramatic entertain- ments, and have made an offer of it to Vestris and her spouse. It is well known that the same parties burnt their fingers rather severely in the same con- cern some years ago. That they have seceded from the Haymarket corps is certain, for Webster and Miss P Horton (Mrs. Reed) are playing their cha- racters in that piece of inestimable French fustian, “the Little Devil.” It was stated sometime ago that Macready had been offered the theatre on his own terms. ‘The offer to Vestris would seem to im- ply that the “great tragedian” had declared off. It appears that Mr. Butler was engaged to deliver a conrse of lectures on Shakspeare’s plays, at the Atheneum, Manchester. Last Wednesday was the first of the series, Hamlet being the tragedy selected; but searcely had he concluded reading the fourth act, before he became so seriously ill that he was conveyed home. Not the slightest symptoms of re- covery woe bore nibs afterwards, and on the fol- lowing evening (Thursday), about half-past seven, as he was preceeding across his bed-room, support- ed by his wife, he suddenly fell back in her arms, and expired. The complaint which has thus brought him to an early grave was one of a very painful and dangerous character, and it is understood that but a few months ago he was operated upon by Dr. Liston. He was in his 4Ist year, and was much esteemed throughout the profession. The premises known as Vauxhall Gardens were ut up to public competition at the Auction Mart, by Mr. Gadsden, The first offer for the principal lot, including the public gardens, rotunda, &c., was £10,000, and after much competition it was _knock- ed down for £17,700; but at which price the aue- tioneer said it was not sold. The other two lots, consisting of a plot of building ground at the west end of the gardens, and a family residence at the south-east corner, let at £100 a-year, were also withdrawn. Lablache had his benefit on the 24th ult., at her Majesty’s Theatre. The opera was Don Pasquale. The hero of the evening seemed in a happy mood, and his rich humour, with Grisi’s archness and spi- rit, kept the audience in a state of constant hilarity. The graceful music, too, was charmingly sung. There was a new divertissement, called Diana, in which Taglioni appeared as Diana, and Perrot as Endymion. It consisted ofa series of pas de deux Tepresenting the classical flirtation between the god- dess of the night and her mortal lover. ‘Taglioni’s dancing was an exhibition of consummate grace and beauty, and she was admirably supported by Perrot. The theatre, as usual, was crowded in every part- Miss Julia Bennett took her benefit. at the Hay- market Theatre, on the 2Ist ult., and in addition to the attractions, that great lion of the day, Leopold de gMeyer, @the eminent German pianist, in the handsomest manner volunteered to perform a fanta- sia on the occasion. A full house may therefore be safely calculated upon. M. Phillippe terminated his extraordinary per- formances atthe St. James’s Theatre, on the 30th instant. Continental Theatricals. i A sister of the most gifted of modern tragedians, Rachel, has appeared at the Frangais in two charac- ters, Palmyre, in ** Mahomet,” and Zaire, in the tra- gedy of that name. This young lady made her debut some two years since at Odéon, but with indifferent success. A pretty vaudeville, of the very best class, has been very deservedly reeeiwed with favor at the the Gymnose, under the title of “ Un Changement de Main.” At the Vaudeville Theatre, the only event is the return of Madame Albert, now unquestionably with outa rival in Paris, if, indeed, she ever had one as an actress of vaudeville. _A one act bagatelle, ‘Le Brocanteur,” has been given at the Varieties, and allowed to pass muster: but itis chiefly noticeable from the sketch of a Jew broker given by Dussert. In other respects, the piece is insignificance itself. A drama, called “ Le Canal St. Martin,” has been well received at the Gaite, filled with rascalities of all kinds, intended to illustrate the little mysterie: of Paris, as practised on the banks of the canal 1) question. It is well performed ; the principal female part by Mme. Sarah Félix, another sister, it is said, of Mdile. Rachel. She 1s a woman of evident ta- lent, and now and again delivers a sentence ina manner not unworthy the tragedian herself. Tamburini is expected in town shortly, from St Petersburgh, having taken a trip to his native Italy frevieny to coming to Paris. Mme. Viardot Garcis as arrived some time, having proceeded hither di rect from the Russian capital ‘he campaign is de- seribed as having been brilliantly successful, and the entire company return for the next season. The vast Theatre at Paris, called the Hippodrome, 350 feet in length, was opened last week with a va- riety of entertainments, partaking of the characte1 of the sports of the ancient circus, to an audience of upwards of fifteen thousand persons, of every rank, from the peer to the gamin. A comedy lately brought out at the Theatre Fran qgais, has made a great noise, and still continues be talked about. [tis called “The Tower of Ba- bel ;”” and, though the scene of it is laid in Seot land, isa hit at the scheming public characters ot France of the present day. It professes to teach that republicans, legitimists, and Boaapat tists, who plot aad scheme against the existing government, ate only anxious to promote their own selfish inte- rests, not caring ‘a single straw for the cause to which they protess to be devoted. Donizetti has arrived at Paris from Yienna, The inauguration of the statue of Beethoven. for which subscriptions have been contributed by musicians all over Enrope, will take place at Bonn. on the 11th of August, and will be preceded, accom- panied, and foliowed by solemn musical performan- ves, selected from his own works, Several Eng- iish professors, among whom are Sir George Smart, Mr. Moscheles, Mr. T. Cooke, and Mr. Neate, have received invitations from Dr. Breidenstein, the pre- sident of the “Committee for the Beethoven monu- ment,” to be present on the occasion. The Musical bead / of Hamburgh has sent to Dresden a crown of solid silver, admirably wrought, destined to adorn the marble bust of Weber which is placed over his tomb. _A grand musica festival will be given in the be- ginning of next month, at Aschaffenburg, at which the King, and, it is expected, the Queen of England willbe present. 1200 singers and 600 musicians wiil take part in the proceedings. Jenny Lind, the celebrated Swedish vocalist, has become the wife of a German nobieman Through respect for Britannic respectability, the opera of “Charles V1.” is not allowed tobe played at the French Opera. It appears the friendly feel ings entertained by M. Guizot towards the perfide “Adbion n, are such ag to induce him to arrest the per formance of this opera, unless Mr. Halévy, the au- thor, or the administration ef that theatre, consent to retrench the famous ritournelle, “Jamais en France |’Anglais ne régnera” (never will the Bri- tish reign in France). _ Obitaary.

Dr. Mek , author of “O’Halloran,” and some other works, died at Larne, on the 2ist ult, after a few days’ illness, in the 59th year of his age. _ Joseph Augustine Wade, so well known to the literary and musical world, expired on the 18th ult. at the early age of forty-five. He was a native of Dublin, cnt the favorite pupil of the celebrated Sir John Stephenson. His acquirements were rare and varied—u poet, historian, and musician, He was the author and composer of the opera of “The Two Houses of Grenada,” played at Drury Lane Theatre tor many nights. One ‘song, * Love was once a Little Boy,” ran throne twenty editions ; and his ballad of Meet me by Moonlight,” was equally po- pular. As a contributor to the magazines, his ng ot the Flowers” will be long remeinbered. A tetal absence of all worldly pentose marked his briefand chequered career, and painful privations were fre- quently the results of his want of steadiness of pur- pose. Few men have quitted this life, whose pro- spects in the onset were more brilliant. His last mu- sical work was a key to the piano forte; his labors of late were chiefly confined to contributions to the weekly press. A young widow, without family, is lefttotally unprovided for.

A number of spectators continued to arrive oa the premises from the time the Sheriff first got there, until there was a large collection. The Sheriff was assured by some of the head-men of the badians that he should not be molested if he did no more than his duty. When the hour of sale arrived, he started into the field to drive the cattle to the higeway, and was follow- ed or accompanied by a body of some 25 or 30 ef the In- dians, who frequently stopped the cattle and interrupted him, but he finally sueceeded in getting the cattle near the bars or gate way, to the street, at which a large number of Indians and some spectators were standing. vith some reluctance on the part of the Ii bars were permitted to be removed. ton had arrived a short time previor their horse: by.

It is possible Steelo was wounded in the srm on the first fire, asho was observed endeavoring to raise his arm, with pistol in hand, to fire, which he effected, with seme difficulty. After he fired, one of the Indians was observed to d his gun, and it is possible he was wounded.
