      ready introduced to the whole musical world j and , as the happy pair move , amid flowers and congratulations , to the altar , the curtain falls , at 12 . 35 , and the excited British public begin shouting , according to their musical enthusiasm or domestic longings , for " Mare ^ Beer or " Cabby . " ( This opera will unquestionably take a high position in public favour , and , as we have before suggested , will add to the composer's renown . It would seem that when he undertook it , Meyerbeer resolved to prove his genius independent of historic or

      stirring themes and grand accessories . The story of the Pardon " is weak ; the named characters "but three in number ; much of their music is necessarily of a pastoral character ; and the situations admit of ho such choral effects as have rendered other works by the same hand immortal . But the ¦ opening for these being absent , left the master a wide field to fill with music of sentiment and artistic construction , whose perfection will be more and more recognised when executants and audiences shall have overcome the first sense of novelty .

      HOUSE O F 1 O K Z > S . KEVISION OF THE . HTURQT . Lord Ebuey presented a petition , from certain clergy of the Established Church , praying the House to address the Queen for a Royal Commission to revise the liturgy . The noble lord said it was not his intention to bring the subject under the consideration of their lordships this session . The Bishop of London said that the object of the petitioners was to shorten the services of the Church , but he was afraid the alteration which was proposed would involve questions of doctrine , and would give rise to dissensions which would be most prejudicial to the interests of the Church . ftEFT SITTINGf . ]

      FRANCE . . A Paris correspondent writes : — " Tho tone of all the French jind continental journals of yesterday shows how little tho news of tho reduction of armaments was oxpectod . Doos it indicate a change of policy , or does it show that tho Emperor ' s intentions have been very generally mistaken ? The question deserves a dispassionate consideration . I am not ; prepared to answer it at present . But , speaking without prejudice , I must make this remark' —that the lino which , separates a peace footing from a war footing is not very distinctly drawn in Franco . I have asked several military and naval ofllcors , who toll mo that it is a question of degroo , but they aro utterly unable to say what aro tho boundaries . With regard to tho naval sorviee this observation particularly applies . It will be impossible to estimate at its true value . the announcement in tho Moniteur until we know how iminy men have been disbanded , and how many ships laid up , " ] yi .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . TUB BEGH 7 M DOSTJM The House went into committee of supply , and several minor votes were agreed to . On the vote of je 29 , 193 , the regium donum to nonconforming clergy in Ireland , Mr . Baxter protested against two or three dissenting sects being selected for thia grant , and objected to such grants altogether as having been given for political purposes . Mr . IiABOuchere trusted that the House would not do away with this tax lightly , and adverted to the services which the sects in question had rendered to the cause of peace and good order in Ireland .

      Mr . Dawson sketched the history of the Irish regium donum , which , he said , was a contract entered into by our ancestors 100 years ago , and could not justly be abolished . Besides , this was a grant to which he believed no party in Ireland objected , and the nonconformists in that country were placed in a position different to that of their co-religionists and other sects elsewhere . Mr . Cardweli , said that , as the whole question would be before the House next year , he would not enter into the discussion at present .

      Mr . Spookek had no objection to the present grant , which stood on different grounds to that of Maynooth , to which he should always be opposed . The hon . member availed himself of the opportunity to urge some of his usual objections against the latter grant . The House divided , and the numbers were—For the vote . . . . 126 Against . . . . 40 Majority . . . —86 The vote was then agreed to . ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION . On the vote of 3 , 5882 . for defraying the salaries of a number of the officers of the ecclesiastical commission of England and Wales ,

      Mr . Williams contended that this vote was most unjust towards Roman Catholics and Dissenters , who were called on to pay for services which wore of value only to the Church of England . -The House divided , and the numbers were—¦ For the vote . . . 82 Against . . . . 72 Majority . . . —10 Tho vote was accordingly agreed to .
