ealy recently made their debut, we mast not poy critical; suffice it to say that, with proper -eultivation of their voca) powers, a litle more con- ‘fidence, an improved aud warmer expression of feeling, and some minor matters which time will e we think they are destined to shiae in our musical hemisphere.

Harrison, Weiss, and Corn, have beea perform: , in various well-kngwu operas at the Cheatre Val. As the metropolitan papers Were 80 Uodui- mous in their praises of Mow Louisa Pyne, her ‘ in Liverpool was looked torward to with much interest by our loving play-goery, a truly good English \ ve. ug new sure whar of # novelty om our operatic stage, the sole rival to Miss Pyne bein, tne AL omer, whose late successes at our Liver Theatre, end during the pre- sent week at the Sarey Tucatre iu Loudon, are well known to all Who like au taterest in matters musical.

Her conception of Amina totally iers from that of Mrs. Woed and Mis3 Aane Romer; nothing but the quiet simplicity of the village maiden was apparent, the passion usually Gisfluyed in the jotteer scenes of the opera being much toned duwa by Miss Pyne, <8 whole personation of the character is one of repose. The first Wwo avts weat off flany; ‘but in the last scene, Miss Pyue created a storm of applause by her exquisite siaziug of the * Ah, mon .guinge,” which was given With surpassing tuste Vigor—the embellishments added by the sings er, being of the most beautiful and difficult de- scription. This fine display was lewily eacored, and repeated with increased etlect. Mr. W. Har- ‘Tison’s'voice has deteriorated siace he was last here; once or twice it quite fled him, though, as the opera proceeded, he warmed suticiently to call forth an encore after singiag the famousair, * Sull ogo gently,” which he gave witn much of usual Sweetness. With regard to his acung of Elvino, the least said of it the better, as it isa character which he is totally unfitted adequately to embody. Mrs. Weiss, a bold, vigorous, bat melegant singer, personated Liza with great spirit; her husband played Rodolpho very tamely, but the air, Asl view,” with great taste. If Mr. Weiss could ania as well as he sings, he would take a first position on the stage; as it is, his frigidit; stiflaess quite spoil the effects of the scenes in which be plays a prominent part. The chorusses apd band were not so good as usual, being in want ot i ne on the presen: occasiva they made nu- merous blunders, which « live stud. forehand sofso well knowa an barbs as ** Soonambula,” ‘would have obviated. Tne other operas in which Miss Pyne has appeared were, “ Tne Bohemian Girl,” * Maritana,” and “Crowa Diamonds,” in each of which, we believe, she has been eminent- dy euccessful. A droll anecdote is told of the Nepaulese am- Dassador, now in London. At Mr. Lumley’s ind féte, he asked to be introduced to Curloita ‘Grisi, with whose dancing he had been enchanted at the opera house. The lady was presented, and the prince made some remark, which, on being translated, was found to be, that “ He did not know her with her clothes on !” Miscellanco Tax Great Inpian Diamoxov —Her Majesty’s Steam-si@ep Medea has jost arrived at Portsmouth, with a freight more precions in nomiaal value than was. ever carnied ftrom.Peru to Cadiz. Majer Mackesen, one of her passengers, a meritorious and distinguished officer, brings with him that fae mous diamond of the East, called in the fondness of Asiatic hyperbole, the Kon-i-nvor, or “Mountain of Light,” which, after symbolising the revolutions of tea generations by its passage from one con- -queror to another, comes now, in the third ceaten- ary of its discovery, the forfeit of Oriental faithlessness, and the prize of Saxon valor, to the distant shores of England. Tt was in the ‘year 1660, before the Mogul dynasty had been established by the prowess of the great Akbar, that this marvellous stone was first brought to 4 im the mines of Golconda. The “ Mountain Light” passed in the train of conquest, and as the emblem of dominion, trom Golconda to Delhi, from Delhi to Mushed, from Mashed to Cabul, and from Cabul to Lahore, Excepting the some- what doubtful elaims of the Brazilian stone among the crown els of Portugal, the Koh-i-noor is the m diamond in the world. When firstgiven to Shah Jehaun it was still uncut, weigh- ing, iad, in that roagh scate, uearly 800 carats, which were reduced by the unskilfulness of the artist to 279, its present weight. It was cut by Bortonsio Borgis, a Venetian, who, instead of re- @ remuneration for his labor, was fined 10,000 rupees by the enraged Mogul. La form it is * rose cut "—that isto say, it is cut to a pointin a series of small faces or * ts,” without las buler surface. A good general idea may be formed of its shape and size by conceiving it as the pointed half of a small ben’s egg, though it is said not to have risen more than huif an iach from the gold setting in which it was worn by Ruojeet. Ite ‘value is searcely computable, though two millions sterling has been mentioned as a justifiable price, if ealeulated by the scale employed tu the trade — ‘The Pitt diamond, brought over from Madras by the grandfather of Lord Chatham, and sold to the Regent Orleans in 1717 for £125,000, weighs searce- ly {50 carats; nor does the greet diamond, which aupports the eagle on the summitof the Rassian sceptre, Weigh as much #9 200, Such is the ex- traordary jewel which, in viriue of conquest and Bove ty, has passed into the possession of Kag- land. prudently secured among the few re- maioing veluables of the Lahore treasury, at the commencement of the insurrection, and al- though even its nominal vame would be an inade- quate Gomyensation for the cost of the Sikh wars, we may look upen this acquisition as a fittiag eym- bol of that supremacy which we have so fairly ‘won. Dona Magia Loreto Mantivez pe Morena, Twe Buack Pama Donna.—Uhe subject of the nt short biography wes born at Havana, the ireland of Caba. Hier parents were free bdiacks, of the pure race of Gomba; the little Maria was, therefore, not subjected to the miser- able consequences which reeult from slavery. Her father was a carver of great artistic repute, whose shill and probity procared for bim the notice and respect of the principal families of Havana. Tndeed, vo highly was he esteemed, thet the Inten- dant, Don Francisco Aguilar, desired that the little Meria shevld be received iato his family. Some few years had elapsed, when Don Francisco was ordered by the government to a different post. Oa his departure from the Hevane, the family were doth to leave their young protegée behind; and her parents pkg wishing to retain their child, yet ‘were unwilling to mar her fortune. They eveata- ally sacrificed their feelings, avd Maria accom- penied her patrons on their voyeur. Evineii extraordinary taste for music, nnd a voice sings ~ 4 melodious and vuerring in intonation, her friends the best masters for its cultivation. But “speaking, in a good state, ‘Tuer Exxcrric Teveorars in Prance.—The r-- of a committee on the electric telegraph in rance; has been presented w the Assembly. Th> committee recommend opening the telegraph to the public ander certain conditions, such as thit n> person who shall be unknown shall be allowed to use the telegraph ; that all despatches, except arti- cles of newspapers, shull be copied into a register at full length, and that the government shal have the power, when it may think fit, to suspend the use of the telegraph. The tariff for despatches the committee propose to fix at three francs for from one to twenty words, with an addition of twelve centimes a myriametre. The committee also pro- pose that the government *hull contract with the Fours to send news to be inserted in them at a reduced cost. The electro-chemical telegraph of Mr. Bain is recommended for adoption. ‘Tue Sreamsmp Arcantic —This splendid ves- sel sails to-day, with het fuil comptement of freight «nd passengers. Daurisg the past week she has been visuted by some hundreds of our townspeople, allot whom, through the kindness of her com- mende:, have been conveyed and admitted free ; indeed, Captain West has himself remained on board, directing the attention of strangers to the objects most important, and exhibiting that urban- ity of manner, particularly to the fair séx, that seems to be the peculiar characteristic of the American gentleman.—Laverpool Courier, July 10. ‘Tue Hanvesr in France.—In the provinces of Guienne, the Centre, Burgundy, Franche Comité, and Alsace, ihe wheat crops ure excellent, and beans, potatoes, &e., promise to be abundant.

Interesting from \e . The Madrid Espana, of June 29, contains some important statements with respect to the questions at issue between the Spanish government and these of Naples and the United States. It says that the news of the projected marriage of the Count of Montemolin with the Princess Maria Carolina Fer- nanda of Naples, is fully confirmed, and adds that the government have entirely approved the first mane, taken by the Duke of Kivas in this matter, and “ have sent him instructions in coafermity with what is demanded by our dignity, the national in- terests, and the rights of the crown of Spain.” It also says that the Minister of Marine has given or- ders for the Castilla steamer to proceed from Ali- cant to Naples, and remain there at the disposition of the Spanish ambassador, in case he should find himeelf under the necessity of asking for his pass- ports and withdrawing himsel£ ‘With respect to the points at dispute with the American goverament, it says :—‘* Accounts which we regard as highly correct, state that the recla- mations le ty the government of the United States on our own government are of a sufficiently exigent character, since they require not only that the pirate’s made prisoners at Women’s Island shall be set at liberty, but also that the two vessels taken from them by ‘our own marine shall be given up.” It_ further states, in connection with Cuban affair, that the Dake of Sotemayor has had several couferences with the French Minister for Foreiga Affairs, * in order to open negotiations for the pur- pose of forming between the parties interested a treaty, which may prevent the piracies that might be committed for the future uader the shade of the anomalous legislation of the United States on this point. The French minister, knowing the oppor- tuneness of the indications of our ambassador, and the fruits which so useful a treaty may produce, has received the idea extremely well, aaveing: at once that England be invited, in order that they muy proceed by common accord in everything which relates to this important subject.” Wartemberg.

On the dissolution of the Wurtemberg Diet, on the 3d inst., by Royal message, the Speaker ad- dressed the Assembly, reminding them of the dis- solution of the Diet of 1849, (in December of that ar,) on which occasion he stated that the disso- ution of a Diet was legal if the government were resolved to rertoct the will of the people. “ The people,” said the Speaker, ‘have now recorded their opinion. They elected an Assembly in which ear rene on Re ie tn pos vernment not respected the will of t rople. New ministers have tuken the reins of the State, but the system remains unaltered, and the Diet has = been ditsolved. It will soon be shown whether the government is prepared to submit to the will of the people. But we are justified in 4 testing that this Diet has done its duty.
