Fohmidable Opposition To Rents.—Comfi.Ic...
• country , and recover as _muih of the corn as the _iurry and confusion of its formor possessors obliged them to abandon . " _JLvotheb Ooibagb at Catpouvvh . —• The Tipperary JFh *« Press contains the following statement : •—" On Wednesday night , about ten o ' clock , the soldier on guard at the harrick gate of Cappoquin ¦ was attacked by three fellows with pikes ; one of them made a thrust with his p ike , whieh the soldier received ia the palm of his haud ; the second How ** -as made at his chest , and came in contact
• with bis breast bone ; he fired , when the fellows decamped . The poor soldier is in the hospital , bufc out of d anger . last night about half-pasfc ten o ' clock , Mr . _Xeil Godkin _, of this town , on his way lome to his house was attacked by three men in riding «> its at the corner of tbe square , who beat Jim unmercifully with sticks , and would have murdered him , were ifc not tbat a car was passing by -with policemen , when the scoundrels decamped . On making the attack they said , 'There is tbe fellow that informed against the Cappoquin boys . '"
Tbe Clonmel Chronicle has the subjoined : — " CArroo . t * is , Webxesday _XiGnr . —On yesterday thc _juaj-jstrates renewed the _Jnresfcigat ' on into the circumst ances connected with the late attack _tipo- ' the police barrack , and tbis morning seven more prisoners were transmittal to Waterford Gaol _, _siaking eleven now identified . As usual in all su- h cases , one of the fellows has turned approver . Ut is a cotton-spinner by trade , and a native of Cork . Be surrendered himself to the Youghal police . There is no doubt hut thafc several persons wero wounded bvthe police ; and though search has been made , their whereabouts have not been discovered . There is reason to believe that one man has since died of his wounds .
Re-adjcstmest op Rests . —The fifth failure of the potato crop has convinced all reflecting men amongst the landed proprietary that a decided change in the land system has become indispensable for their own ' -a ' ety , even if the Corn-laws were still in existence . While thfc system of _crop-plunder is carried on to so great an extent—chiefly , however , on ill-managed and embarrassed estates—a considerable number of better circumstanced landlords are re-adjusting their rentals , in order to enable the tenantry to bear up against the pressure . This course has already been adopted by the Earl of Bandon , on his extensive estates near that town The Cork _Rqxn-ter says : — "We have already adverted to the conduct of Lord Bandon in this county ; and we have since heard that two or three other proprietors of Cork have been engaged in surveying tbeir properties , with the view , ifc is understood , of making similar redactions . "
The _Ciearaxce Srsnar . — The notorious union of Kilrush , to which Sir Robert Peel referred in his memorable speech on the condition of Ireland , last session , is still under the operation ofthe clearance system . The Limerick and Clare Examiner of Saturday contains the following : — "Thefearful intelligence is communicated to us by our well-informed and vigilant correspondent iii Kilrush , tbat notices hare been served , announcing the meditated eviction of one thousand eight hundred souls more from their homes and holdings in the union . His list two communications detailed to the public the extermination of over one thousand four hundred human beings in the same union . Another , which wc shall publish on Wednesday , furnishes details of the dispossession , from a single property , of one hundred and thirty-two occupiers ; and now the legal preparations are all made and taken forthe
extermination in one fell swoop of eighteen hundred more . We again ask the government-, in the ** acred name of God , " will they nofc interpose ? Will they do nothing to checkmate and defeat this murderous persecution ? Secret associations are springing up in Clare . What then ? Can we pretend , or hope , that any species of dissuasion will prevail with a people who are thus mercilessly persecuted ?" The same journal has accounts of evictions at [ Newcastle West and Shanagolden , county of Lime riek . There are , however , several estates on wliich a totally different system prer . _iils . The limerick Examiner has a very interesting account of rejoicings amongst the tenantry and labourers afc Tervoe , io ~ celebrate the arrival " of that judicious landlord and excellent country gentleman , Mr .

The Wrongs Of Hungary. The Following Doc...
THE WRONGS OF HUNGARY . The following document has been issued by the London Hungarian Committee : — - L—Hun . _-a-y is an ancient c nstitutional monarchy , which used . _«> elect its kings . Every new ing was _solemnly crowned with the crown of St . Stephen , after taking the coronation oath ou _Hunga-ian soil , in which bn swore to uphold the _eonstitatioa . In the year 1687 ths royalty ms _tftldft Iffireditaryin the family of Hapsburg ; but , so far was llungary from becoming a province of Austria , to this year not a single Austrian has been allowed to hold office in the Hungarian kingdom . An Ausiriau is a foreigner in Hungarian law and practice , 2 . —The kings ofthe house of Hapsburg , have , notwithstanding , made various attempts to
overrhrow the _Ii ( Krt _* es of Hungary . After repeated attempts to fuse Hungary into Austria and repeated insurrections , a long struggle begun by Leopold I wasen _^ ed iu 1 / 11 by Joseph 1 ., who was constrained to confirm the old constitution . Again , h y the efforts of Joseph II . to enforce the German language , and snppress the Jaunici |* alUies a revol _* was kindled , which his successor Leopold II . finally pacified ( ia 1790 ) only by withdrawin *? all bis • _roihers innovations , and by making a peculiarly dstmctavowal , that ( Art . 10 ) " Hungary with her appanages is a free kingdom , and in regard toh _* r vholele- _'alformof government ( includinall the
g tribunals ) if _depeiudent ; that is , entangled with no other kingdom or people ; but having her own peculiar consistence and constitution , accordingly to lie governed by her _legitimately crowned king after h « r peculiar laws and customs . " _Nevertbeb'ss Francis I- dared to violate his coronation oath by not assembling the Diet irom 1811 to 1825 . At last he was compelled to give way by the passive resistutce to all . government . From that year onward thc Hungarians bave struggled successfully for intern _* d reforms hy constitutional method ** , though _p-rpetually thwarted fiy the bigotry , Lnorance _, and perverse ambition of the Austrian cabinet or
c own . 3 . —The internal reforms wbich they desired were chitfly tbe * oHo _* ing : —Td remove er lessen the distinctions between the privileged and unprivileged classes ; and improve the principles of taxation and of the tenure « if land . —Next , to extend perfect toleration of religious creed to all . The high Magyar nobility _:, re generally Roman Catholics ; yet they have been as willing to cm cede toleration as th ; tower nobility and middle classes , who are general V
Pro'estants . —Thirdly , to establish free tra
4 . —Onemodeof resistance applied by Austfa , was to extinguish parliamentary bids by tbe veto of tbe crown ; the fear of wbich paralysed the upper house . —a body alw . y * naturally _disposed to lean to Austria . Against this the Hungarians had no adequate constitutional weapons to use , since the Austrian _cabinet was not responsible to the Hungarian Diet . The often repeated _l-fcal declaration of iheir independence , and in particular the distinct compact of Leopold II . in 1790-91 , justified them in desiring by peaceful and constitutional means to attain an independent ministry directly responsible to their own parliament .
5 . —Such a ministry liad been talked of and claimed in the Diet . In fact the conse vative party and the opposition had differed little as to the objects afc wbich ihey aimed , but chieflyas to the vehemence with which they should press tliem ; the conservatives pleading " to " give time" to the Austrian cabinet . But in March , 1818 , the conservatives , a ? a separate party , vanished , by the great mass of them acceding to the opposition . Kossuth carried a unanimous vote , that the constitution of Hungary could never be free from the eternal machinations ot " the Austrian cabinet , until constitutional government was established in the fonign posessions of Uncrown , so as to rotore the legal status of the period at which the Diet freely conferred the ro * ally on the house at Hapsburg . This vote paralysed the Austrian authorities Vienna rose against _Metiert-ich , and a revolution took place there . A constitution
and a National Guard _wereen- 'Ct * d . The Hungarian Diet _immediately claimed for itself also a > espunsible ministry . This was granted "without delay , and Count L « mis Baithyany was made premier . But on tbe very same day , Ma * ch loth , Jellachich wasappoi / . ted BanofCr . _* tia . In a letter t » Vienna , dated March 2-ith , 1848 , the Archduke Stephen , viceroy oi Hungary , is _fruud to have suggested three modes of destroying tlie Hun . aiian Constitution ; either to excite the peasants against tbe nobles , as in Galiicia _, and stand by while the pnties slaughter each o her ; or , to tamper with Batibyany ' s honesty ; or , to invade and overpower iinngary by military force . A transcript of this letter in the archduke ' s handwriting was after" ards found among his pipers when he fled from Pesth , and was officially published with all the necessary verifications . The Auitrians have U'ifc dared to disown it .
Before March cn _^ cd , a deputation of all the leading members of both houses from Hungary _appeared in Vienna , carrying the King iheir unanimous claim tliat he would consent to various bills . In these , the greatest _constitn'ional change was the restoration ofthe old union between the Diets of Hungary and of Transylvania . But socially the most imp _ortant laws were the _couali-ing of all _classes and creeds , and tbe noble enactment which converted the peasant into freeholders of the soil , quit of all the old feudal burdens . This hill had passed both tbe bouses by February 4 th , 1 S 48 , before the French
revolution had broken out ; so little had that great event to do with the reforming efforts of th' * Hungarians _, 'lhe Austrian c « binct , s eim * tbeir overwhelming unanimity , felt that resistance was impos-ihle . Accordingl y Ferdinand pioceeded witb tiie court to Presburg , and ratified the laws by oatb . This is the reform of April 11 , 1818 , wbich all patriotic Hungarians fondly looked upon as their charter of _constitutional rights , opened to them the promise of a _career in which they shoud emulate Great Britain , as a pattern ol a united , legal , tole rant , free , and loyal country .
6 . Croatia is a _prt-vince of the Hungarian crown ; aud there Jellachich , as governor , openly organised revolt against _Hun-rary _, by military terrorism , and by promising SUvonic supremacy . On Battbyany ' s urgency , King Ferdinand declared Jellachich a rebel , and exhorted theDh-t to raise en armyagainst him ; but always avoided finally to sanction their bills . Meanwhile Kadeteki defeked Charles Alb rt . _Jt-1-1 chic ' i dripped the mask of Croatianism , and announced to B -tthyany that there should be no peace , until a ministry at Vienna ruh'd over Hungary . In _Septembi-r , as the king would neither _alb = w trcops to be raised in Hungary , nor the Hungarian regiments to be recalled Jrom Italy for home defence , a Hungarian denotation was sent tothe _Austrian Diet ;
but it was denied admittance by a : d of the Slavonic party . To-catch stray votes ( it seems ) . Latour , tlie Austrian _Minister at war , in thc Diet , Septem b er 2 , solemnly disavowed any eonnexi * n with Jellachich ' s movement : yet on September 4 , a royal ordinnme ( officially published in Croatia only ) _reinstated Jellachich in all his dignities ; win soon after cros _* ed the Drave to _inva- _' e Hui . gaty with a Weil-appointed array Cj , C 00 strong . As Le openly showed th . king ' s commission . Baithyany resigucd , September 9 , since he did not know how to net by the king ' s _command _ai _' _.-iiii-l the kirg ' s command . No successor was - _* ppoiuted ; and tbe Hungarian Diet had no choice tut to form a _cr-mniltttc of safety . To embarrass them in this , fche king re-opened negotiation with
_Battbyany , September 14 , but still eluded any practical result by refusing to put down Jellachich-Meanwhile , September 16 , despatches were intercepted , in which Jellachich thanked Latour for supplies of money and material of war . The Hungarian _Dlt published them officially , and distributed them by thousands . But llungary was still unarmed , and Jellachich was burning , plundering , slaughtering . September 25 , Lamberg was sent to Pestb , in thc illegal character of Imperial Commissary of Hungary , but was immediately murdered by the rsgo of the populace . Masses of volunteers were assembled by the eloquence of Kossuth , which , with tbe aid of only 3 . 000 regular troops , met and repulsed Jellacbieh at Sukoro , September 29 , aud chased him out of their country . But Lat- ur waB far too deep in guilt to recede , a royal _re-icript of October 3 ,
dissolved the Hungarian Diet , forbade ail municipal action , superseded the judicial tribunals , declared Hungaiy under martial law , and appointed Jellachich civil and militaiy governor _« f that country , with discretionary power of life and death , and an expressly unlimited despotism . It likewise distinctly announced the determination of the crown td incorporate Hungary into Austria . Troops from Vienna were publicly ordered hy Lafoar ( Oc'oberfi _. ) to march against the Huugariiiiis . This order , coupled with alarm , in-pired by the _app-oach of Jellachich ( whose defeat was kept , secret ) , led to the _cmeute in "Vienna , in v . hicli Latour was murdered , a muri ' er nhich was made a pretext for bombarding Vienna , and destroying the newly _sanc'ioned _constitution . _Windiscb-ua'z , lhe _ageiitm il _. is work , joined bis form to those if Aue _& perg , who meanwhile hsd sh _Itered Jel ' acL'icb .
At all this the Hungarians were so infuriated thafc . after deposiug the generals ( who were believed traitorously to have allowed Jellach ' ch to escape ) , with inferior artillery , and with _forces not half ofthe Austrian . ** , who were 75 , 000 strong , besides their reservi _* _* , tiny fought and lost the battle of Schwechat , October OIL This was the first a _* . d last battle fought b ** ths Hungarians on Austrian soil , fviight onyagainst those who were protecting a ruthless enemy , who had desolated Hungary by countless on'rages : yet tliis Is trumpeted by the Austrians as Hungarian aggression . _—JeIlachK-h ( Nov . 2 , ) entercd ¦ V ienna in triumph , and was entrusted with a great armv in the course of the whole war that followed ,
The Wrongs Of Hungary. The Following Doc...
It is then impossible to doubt that the Austrians had supplied bim with arms , money , aud authority from the beginning , and that they began this bloody war by combined violence and treachery , while Hungary was in profound peace . 7 . The cabinet now , tried to obtain from Ferdinand a direct permission to carry into detail the rescript of October 3 , and seize Hungary by right of conquest _^ But as Ferdinand began to be troubled with religious scruples , they resolved to depose him , and put his nephew on the throne-a youth of eighteen , educated by the Jesuits , and accustomed to obey his mother the Arcbhuchess Sophia , who was so identified by the Viennese with the cabinet as
to be _calb'd the Lady Camarilla . By intrigue of some sort they induced the halfwitted emperor to sign the act for his own _abdication , and at once seated Francis Joseph in his place , who , not having taken the coronation oatb , might be assured by his directors that he committed no wrong in invading the laws and constitution of Hungary ! An Austrian army marched into the country , and in the course of January and February overran and occupied it as far as the Theiss eastward , and as high as the _Marosch northward : the Russians meanwhile penetrated into Transylvania . The usurpation of the archduchess and cabinet seemed to have triumphed .
8 . On March 4 th , 1849 , Count Stadion published his new constitution for fusing down Hungary into a part of the Austrian empire . If previously Hungary had been under Russian despotism , this constitution would have seemed Wghlv liberal ; and from an Austrian point of view , such as it was : but to the Hungarians it was intolerable slavery . First _, it virtually _annihilated I heir municipalities , and subjected their police to Vienna . Next it would have enabled tlie Austrian cabinet to put in Austrian civil andmititaryofficers everywhere inHungaryaa innn ' vatio _* . as odious to the Hungarians , as would French police _magistrate * , excisemen , overseers , colonels , ami lord-lieutenants , be to the English nation . Thirdly , it _swairped their parliament _amonir a host of
foreigners , ignorant of Hungary and its wants , and _inc-ipable of legislating well for it . Fourthly , it was enacted without tbe pretence of law , by tlie mere stroke of Count Siadion ' s pen . If the Hungarian constitution—fourteen times solemnly sworn to by the kings ofthe house of . _Uapsburgb- was to be thus violated , what possible security could the nation have for the new-fangled constitution of Stadion , if it were ever so good in itself ? If they aiinii ted such a right in the Ausirian crown , in six months a new ordinance might reduce tbem under a pine despotism . In tbe face of wrong so intense , it is not worth while to name secondary grievances ; but it was most bitterly felt that such was the reward of the constant loyalty of Hungary to tiie house of
Uap _.-burg , and such the sequel of that solemn act by which Ferdinand had so happily ratified their recent glorious reforms ! Oa reviewing tbe constitutional question , it was clear to the Hungarians that Ferdinand had no legal power to abdicate without leave of the Diet , wliich leave it was impossible to grant , since , in _thecoaree of nature , Ferdinand might yet have direct heirs ; secondly tbat if he _became incapacitated , it was the right of the diet to appoint a regent ; thirdly , that if Ferdinand had died , Francis Joseph was not the heir to the Hungarian crown , but his father , Ferdinand ' s br _* _-ther ; fourthly , that allegiance is not fully due to the true heir until he has been crowned ; fifthly , that if Francis Joseph had been ever so much the true heir , andlnd been ever so lawfully crowned
, the ordinances would be a breach of his oath , essentially null and void , and equivalent to a renunciation of his compact with tbe people ; sixthly , that even to Austria the ministry of Stadion—orj rather , thc Archduchess—was no better thanaknot of intriguers , which had pressed on the clouded intellect of the sovereign to grasp a _despotism for itself ; while over _Hungary it had no more ostensible risht than had that of Prussia or France . All Hungary , therefore , rose to resist , Slovacks and _Magyars , Germans and Wallachs , Catholics and Protestants , Greeks and Jews , nobles , traders , and peasants , rich and poor , progressionists and conservatives . Ferdinand was still _regarded as tbeir legitimate , but unlawfully deposed King .
9 . Between the Thesis and Marosch , Kossuth bad organised tbe means of fabricating arms and money ; and in the course of March and April a series of tremendous battles took place in which the Austrians were some fifteen times defeated , and without a single change of fortune their armies , 130 , 000 strong , were swept out of Hungary with immense slaughter . Only certain fortresses remained in their power , and those were sure to fall by a , mere lapse of time . The Austrian cabinet was desperate at losing a game in which it had risked so much . Its more scrupulous members had retired , including Stadion himself . Bloodier generals were brought forward , arid the intervention of llussia ( long promised , and granted as early as February in Transylvania ) , was publicly avowed . This act finally alienated from Austria every patriotic Hungarian .
10 . Upon the entrance of the Russians with tbe consent of Francis Joseph , the Hungarian parliament , on the 14 th of April , after reciting the acts of perfidy and atrocity by which the house of Hapsburg had destroyed its compacts with the nation , solemnly pronounced thafc house to have for ever forfeited the crown . During the existing crisis , Kossuth , accordingto constitutional precedent , was made governor ofthe country . 11 . We all know _Hungary—deprived of her ports , taken by surprise , isolated , and abandoned —has been overwhelmed by the combined hosts of her unscrupulous foes . But has England nothing to say to this ? For three centuries at least Hungary bas been a
prominent member of the European family of nations , Hcr constitutional union to the house of Hapsburg has been a notorious public fact ; and in the Emperor of Austria , as King of Hungary , Europe has long seen a powerful barrier against Russian encroachment . That Hungary is not Austria—that the Emperor of Austria has no ri ght in llungary except as its constitutional king—is as public a fact in Europe as that Hanover was never part of England . When Hungary proclaimed to ns tliat the Emperor of Austria was no longer her kingthat she bad found tbe house of Hapsburg traitorous , and bad legally deposed it ; and when the Hungarian nation had by a unanimous effort actually expelled her invaders—there was the very same
reason for our acknowledging the independence of Hungary , as wc ever had for recognising thc Emperor of Austria as King of Hungary at all . Wc have grievously neglected our duty by supineness ; bufc the Emperor of Russia had perpetrated a breach of international law , most cruel and dreadful ; only less wicked than the outrage of Austria , because ifc was nofc also treacherous and ungrateful . _Indignation and pity for the Hungarians is for the moment swallowed up by admiration , when we contrast their humane generosity towards prisoners of war with the ferocious cruelty of tlie Austrians towards the armed and unarmed of hoth sexes . 12 . The English crown is peculiarly affected by these events ; because they destroy the confidence
of nations in the oath of princes ; especially considering that Hungary was the only great community on the continent whose ancient liberties had not been violently and treacherously -tnaibi _' _-ited by its king , _Xo guarantees of right any longer exist , except those which have been wrested cut _" by popular violence , and established on some doctrainairc basis . The aristocracy of England arc deeply concerned , when the only l-cuiRiiiitig continental aristocracy possessed ot constitutional rights , and taking the lead ofa willing nation , is remorselessly trampled under foot . Our commonalty is concerned , when deprived of commercial intercourse with fourteen millions of agriculturists . Our religious feelings are shocked , when Hungarian zeal for universal toleration is overridden by the Romanist bigotry of Austria . Our liberties are endangered by the spectacle of two sovereigns tearing in pieces a noble nation from pure hatred of its constitutionalism , which nine centuries havo not made sacred in their
eyes . The security ofall Europe is endangered by the virtual vassalage of Austria to Rpssia , which this calamitous outrage has entailed ; for Austria is now so abhorred in Hungary that she cannot keep her conquest except by Russian aid . Every one foresaw tbis from thc beginning : tbe government of Vienna knew it , as well as thafc of St . Petersburg . Such are the results of tho conspiracy of an Austrian cabinet against their Emperor , against his kingdom of Hungary , against the newborn liberties of Vienna , and against the balance of power in Europe . IS . What remains for . England to do , but firmly to declare to Austria : — " Until we sec the constitution as it was before October , 1848 , re-established in Hungary , we do not acknowledge your position in Lombardy ; for Hungary bad a far belter right to ber national existence and independence , than you to your empire over the foreign Lombards . "
A military tyrant may at any moment commit an act of rapine with summary _^ peed ; sage and modern bystanders need time to learn and . ju dge of the ease . If we extend the doctrine of fails accomplis to the high-handed crime under whieh Hungary still lies bleeding , we proclaim impunity aud recognition to every unprincipled marauder .

THE COLOSSEUM . The idea sought t 0 be carried out in the arrangement of tho C yclorama ( the most recent addition to the Colosseum ) , is that of the vestibule ofa noble mansion fitted up for the performance of a masque or p lay , such as afc one time formed tbe pastime of our Court . The subject selected for the series of views is the city of Lisbon , before and after the earthquake of 1775 . On the rising of the curtain , the calm and beautiful sea afc the mouth ofthe lag-as w _discovered-a broad and blue expanse , clothedmhazy exhalation ; gradually the veil of mist is dispelled , and the sun in all its gorgeous splendour rushes upon the dazzled si < rht . throwing
its goiuen _rencction over the wide and still waters . The motion of the orient beams of the new-risen sun , in their lambent play o ' er the sleeping waves , is a perfect" eftect , " and incalculably enhances the illusion , lhe scene is then varied ; the gallant merchantman and light xebec lie becalmed and quiet on the bosom of the _Tagus * , on the left the Irish nunnery is passed , throwing its dark shadows on tho placid element , and next a fort with the Conde de Lorenzo s house behind it ; whilo the Convent of & fc . Jerome , a prominent and beautiful feature , extends its _immense proportions over more than one-half of this part of the picture . Still proceeding up the river , numerous interesting objects arrest the gaze of the spectator ; and afc _len-rth the
city ot mwxt , situated , like Rome , upon seven bills , in all its majesty and grandeur , is at once brought before the sight , with its churches , convents castles , public buildings , mansions of thc proud grandees , and dwellings , of the humblest citizens , all mingled as in ono vast amphitheatre . The banks of the river , with their numerous quays , warehouses lor merchandise , slup-buiWing yards , docks , & c ; _, the noble church of St . Paul occupying a prominent place in thc centre , and tbe Princess ' s Palace , and the numerous massy buildings . in the foreground , with their busy scenes , all contribute to <* ive a charming reality not often attained in pictonal representation . Next the Grand Square of Lisbon is introduced , with its _-rorseous _nalaees .
_megnificent ranges of streets , massive arches , noble flights of steps , vases , and colossal decorations * , also the beautiful statue and fountain of Apollo , thc regal and other palaces , all of which were afterwards wholly or partially destroyed . Again the scene changes , and tho tremendous eftect of the devastating earthquake is shown upon the agitated waters . The sk y is obscured , and that sea which was beforo seen in placid serenity is now driven with fearful rapidity from its course , nofc rolling with majestic grandeur , but hurled bodily , as it were , in all directions , carrying with ifc certain destruction to the numerous snipping opposed to its influence Wrecks float and toss about in all directions ; boats are seen with their crows despairing of escape from the dreadful gulf before thein : ana all seems one
mighty and awful chaos of waters , from which there is no retreating . The effects of this dire calamity on the devoted city are next exbibited . That which was just before seen in all its proud and towering beauty , now breaks upon the startled sight of the spectator a terrific mass of ruins—palaces , public buildings , convents , churches , and all the monuments and grand array of human pride aro hurled into one common wreck , and the horrors of a vast conflagration add their devastating influence to complete the terrible work of havoc , throwing a pall of dark clouds over the ruined city , as if in mourning for its helpless fall . The various scenes of the Cyclorama are illustrated by appropriate music , performed upon a splendid apollonicon . Paris by moonlight , the classic ruins , caverns , Swiss cottage , & c , still continues to attract thousands of admiring visitors .
_» i ¦ — - . . . ASTLEY'S KOYAL _AJIPIIITHEATRE ; The Prophet ( Scribes opera , which has been so successfully performed during thc summer at Covcnt Garden ) , has been turned into a magnificent equestrian spectacle , by Fitzbail , and was produced on Monday night by Mr . Batty , in a style which has eclipsed all his former efforts . It is magnificent in scenery , dresses , and appointments ; and when we consider the immense number of auxiliaries cmployed , the mechanical scenery , and the huge platform , & e ., used in this piece , wc can bufc wonder at thc precision and apparent case with which thc resources of this manimouth establishment are brought into operation . Tbe first act opens with a beautiful scene representing a village near the
castle , and terminates in the storming ofthe Count ' s stronghold . The _diftc-renfc events supposed to occur during this time aro most effectively represented . In the second act , thc most striking scene was the triumphal entry of the Prophet into the city of Munster . This was exceedingly well arrangcd , " and formed a capital tableau . The third and last act , however , excelled the other two for variety and gorgeousness , particularl y the final destruction of the palace , which is effected by the springing of a mine , nnd presents a scone altogether surpassing description . When the curtain fell , tho audience gave a general burst of applause . The piece was most successful , and promises to have a run equal in duration to any spectacle brought out here of lute years . Tbis is only what Mr . Batty merits for his spirit in being the first to adapt to an equestrian performance the main features of a niece of so
much dramatic celebrity . The principal characters were performed by Mr . W . West , Miss Loveday , and Mrs . Moreton Brooks , all of whom wero callc ' d before the curtain at the close . ¦ " Scenes in the Circle" form a constant portion of the amusements at Astley ' s . Not the least remarkable of them aro tho performances of M . ltochcz and his son , who twist themselves into sueh a variety of shapes and fignres that unless their deeds are actuall seen , tliey would appear from description to be impossible , if . Klare ' s mastery " . Lo Globe _Roulant" is very extraordinary , as also is the _daring horsemanship of Mr . G . Cooke , and Madlle . Louise 'fournaive . The laughable farce of Cherry Bomice closed a long and most a diversified series of entertainments — entertainments that throughout elicited the hearty applause of a crowded auditory .
STANDARD THEATRE . This elegant establishment , under the able management of Mr . John Douglass , vc-opened for thc winter season on Monday evening . During thc recess the theatre has been re-decorated , and presents a fresh and comfortable appearance . Mr , Douglass , much to his credit , has taken every precaution to secure order , aud has engaged a very powerful company , including many of tbo old favourites , and ho bids fair to realise his promise ot having '' The best conducted house , with the best company in London , " Amongst thc old favourites engaged will be found Mr . and Mrs . R . Honnor , Mr . John Douglass , Mr . Denvill , Mr . John Gates , Mr . H . Lewis , Mr . G Herbert , Miss Eliza Terry ,
Mrs . Daly , Herr Schmidt , Mr . Ellar , Mr . J . Doughty , Mademoiselle Paulino , aud amongst the- new engagements . ire to bo found those popular favourite ;* , —Jlr . T . Lyon , Mr . E . B , Gaston , and Mrs . R . Atkinson . ' The season opened with a nautical domestic drama , written by T . P . Taylor , author of tlio Waits , die . < bc , entitled " Tho Anchors Weighed . " The p iece abounds with moving incidents , and thc language , the excellent scenic effects , and the powerful acting received well merited applause . The drama was eminently successful , and was announced for repetition every ; night until further notice . At the conclusion , Mr . Lyon , Mrs . Atkinson , Mr . E . B . Gaston , Mr . II . Lewis , and Miss Terry , camo before thc curtain at thc cull of the audience and received its warmest approbation . The remainder of the performance wns a petite
drama , entitled " The Emigre Daughter , and a ballet , called " The Phantom ' s _Weeding . " Characters in the former were well sustained by Mr . Wilmot Ourford , from tho Exeter Theatre . Mr . John Gates , Mi * . Potter , and Miss Terry , as " Lalottc , " in the Emigre Daughter , the latter by Herr Schmidt , Mr . Ellar , ( from _Covent-gardcn Theatre ) J . W . Doughty , and Mademoiselle Pauline . The house was _croiydcd , and present appearances augur well for a brilliant and successful season . We arc happy to learn that "The National Victim Committee" havo taken this house for a benefit , on tho evening of Wednesdey , the 21 th inst ., and wo trust onr femaiefricnds , who invariably are _diligent . in the great cau e of humanit y and philanthropy , will take care thatall their acquaintances ave supplied with box or pit tickets , on the occasion .
LVCEUM . At this house , which opened for the season on Monday night , were revived Mr . Morton ' s vaudeville of the Sentinel , and Mr . Planehe _' s farce of the Garrich Fever , both Olympic pieces , neither of whicli , wc believe , bas been performed since tho retirement of Madame Vestris from the Wych-street management . The former , which , it will be remembered , is a dramatic anecdote touching thc youth oi Frederick the Great , contains an effective part for Mr . C , Mathews , while the latter served to introduce Mr . Oxberry in the part originally played
by Mr _.-Kcoley . The Follies of a Night , first introduced at Drury-lane under Mr . Macroady _' s _manascment , and played at the Lyceum in tho course " of last season , wns the staple piece of the eveni _:- * _- _** . Madame Vestris , why _,-im / cared in the last-nauwu piece , was received with the loudest applause ; and so was Mr . C . Mathews , as soon as he was recognised through thc dress of tbe sentincJ . The company is nearly the same as last season , with the addition et _ilrs . Humby and Mr . Oxberry . The private boxes of the bouse are greatly improvod by an addition to their dimensions .

Nisbett , who played witli her usual bcarUaess _, was received with continued acclamations , and a cheering welcome was given to the rest of tlio favourites of the establishment . As after pieces there were played An Alarming Sacrifice , Twice Killed , and a Kiss in thc Bark , in which the talents of Mr . Buckstono , Mrs . Fitzwilliam , and Mr . and Mrs . Kceloy , were displayed . All these pieces arc perfectly familier to the public , and we bave onl y to say they elicited the same laughter as on former occasions . The houso was crowded . The theatre has been thoroughly cleaned in every part , and the interior entrance has beon painted a light pcagrcen .
Agricultural Meetings. The Following Ann...
AGRICULTURAL MEETINGS . The following annual agricultural meetings were held last week - . — South East Hants . —The meeting of this society and also ofthe kindred Cattle Show Club , was held at Fareham on Tuesday . The ploughing matches , and thc exhibition of cattle and implements , took place in a field belonging to Charles Osborne , Esq ., tbe indefatigable secretary and founder of the association . The ploughing was of first-rate order , and reflected credit on the labourers who were engaged in it , and afforded much interest even to the
uninitiated spectator . Tho ploughs themselves did their work so well thafc the judges must liave bad great difficulty in deciding ' which was the best . The operations in the field , nnd tho stock and implements exhibited , were oftho most satisfactory character , and such as could not fail to procure _foiboth the societies increased support , and to extend their usefulness in those quarters for whose benefit they were especiall y founded . The dinner was held at thc lied Lion , _H . P . Dolme , Esq ., in thc chair , there being about eighty gentlemen prosent , including farmers of substance and landed proprietors .
East Surrey . —Thc ploughing match and meeting for rewarding servants of this society took place on Wednesday , in a field belonging to Mr . Lanfcar , at Waddon Court , near Civydon . After the ploughing terminated , and the prizes were awarded , the members of the society proceeded to dine at the Greyhound-inn at Croydon . Capt . Wigsoll in tho chair , Mr . Alcock and the Hon . Locke King , M . P . ' s _being present , The latter hon . gentleman , on returning thanks for his health being drank , said : " There was one point on which he could speak with safety , and tbat was to congratulate them on thc abundant harvest with whicli they had been blest this year . He knew that prices were very low—he wished they were better—but
bad as they were , thc farmers were in a better position than they were last year . The great object under the altered state of things must bo to make the land produce more than it had ever done beforo by the application of additional capital and labour . ( A Voice— "Where is the capital to come from ?" . which produced a general burst of merriment . ) He was aware ofthe difficulties in which some of them were placed , and he felt that the landlords must meet tbem , as he was fully convinced ifc was impossible to go on under the present systcm without a great _alteration . The tenant farmers must be assisted , and be had always maintained that permanent improvements depended upon the landlovd . They might say that be was dealing in truisms ; but he would say that
without good ploughing and better manuring tho tarmers could not succeed . Land generally was not half so well manured as ifc ought to be to bring it into a good state of cultivation . He believed it lo be capable of immenso improvement , and with the moans hc had spoken of , combined with additional labour , ho had no doubt the land would he doubly productive ; and by finding employment for lahour they would bc spared . the necessity of engaging in schemes of emigration , which hc loooked upon with doubt as a means of permanent relief to tbo country . CLEviitAND Society . —This society held their sixteenth annua ! cattle show at Guisborough on Thursday last , and it passed off in a manner highly
_satismctoi'j * to the members of this thriving and useful institution , it havint * boen pre-eminently useful in increasing the knowledge of the agriculturists of the district relative to the art in which thoy arc engaged , and of promoting an increase in the productions of tbe soil . In connexion with this institution a farmers' club has been established , and tho most beneficial results are anticipated from thoir joint operations . The show took place in two spacious fields afc the easfc end of the town of _Gnisliorougb , belonging to It . Chaloiier , Esq ., where the cattle , sheep , pigs , and implements wero exhibited . The poultry—the show of which could not ho surpassed at any other similar meeting—wero exhibited in a paddock adjoining tho fields in
question , in the occupation ot Mr . William Darnton . The entries of stock were not so numerous as last year at _Stokcsley , although the show was an average one . There was a \ evy good selection of implements , tho principal exhibitors being Mr . Walker and Mr . Palmer , of Stockton , and Mr . Busby , of Neivton-le-Willows , near Bedalc Many oftho implements were tested on AVednesday , in a field at tho west end of Guisborough , in thc occupation of John Maughan , Esq . The weather being very fine on Thursday , the show fields wore thronged by a hig hly respectable company , amongst whom were tho Earl of Zetland , Lord Fcvershnm , Hon . S . Duncombe , M . P ., and other gentlemen—warm friends and supporters of the society . The amount of premiums awarded for stock , implements , & c , was £ 170 .
West _Cumbebuni ) _Sociktt . —The annual exhibition of the above Society was held on Thursday , as heretofore , in the spacious field adjoining the Castle Garden , opposite the _residence of the Earl of Lonsdale , in Whitehaven . The day proved to be one of a thousand for exciting n goodly attendance , being remarkably flue and propitious . Of late years the annual show of cattle and husbandry implements unluckily bas had but rainy and boisterous weather —this year , however , has been a welcome exception , and consequently the stock of tho farmers was shown to advantage . The display of cattle was of a very superior order , and augurs well for the growing prosperity of this society .
_Bolsovoh Society . —1 his meeting was held on Friday . The show of stock was first rate , the meeting very numerous , and although Mr . Cavendish , M . P ., and other gentlemen wero obliged to leave early to wait upon the Queen at Derby , and many were attracted by the Chesterfield Races , yet the dinnerparty mustered nearly sixty . Hv . Thompson , of Stubbing Court , in tlie chair—Mr . Welfitt , of Langwith _Lodt'e , vice-chairman , —supported hy Mr . Evans , M . P . / Mr . Evans , jun ., Mr . Cottingham , Mayor ol" Chesterfield , Rev . J . H . Gray , & e . & q . _GtAMonoAxsiiiKB Soctktv . — This meeting was held on Tuesday , afc Cowbridge , iu a largo field adjoining tho Hear hm . Tho general show of stock on this occasion was sain to surpass any former one of the kind over held nt Cowbridge . Mr . Powell , n _zcntloman , near Bridgend , obtained the prize tor
the best fat ox . A yearling ram bred by Mr . ihomas , of Tydraw , was the admiration of all present . Mr . Thomas also obtained a prize-of £ 10 for the best nine articles , besides another prize for a young horse . Mr . Bowdcn was successful in obtaining three prizes for thc best pair of yearling steers ; also several other i * ri _** oc for heifers , & o . The show of agricultural implements was very extensive , and the principal prizes wero awarded to Mr . Howard , of Cardiff . In the evening about 140 gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner , provided at the Bear Inn . J . Bruce Pryce , Esq ., presided ; and , after the usual loy al toasts were disposed of , J . W . Booker , Esq ., addressing his agricultural friends in a consolatory speech , in which he advised them to trust not in their legislators , tor they had betrayed them ; not in thoir representatives , for thoy might deceive tliem ; but in themselves , God , and
protection . Ledbury , Evesham , and Lumow , —At theso _meetinQ-s , although somewhat gloomy anticipation as to thoir results were entertained previously to their takin- ; p lace from the despondence prevailing in the agricultural mind , it would appeal' they Wei'O not borne out b y these exhibitions which proved to bo equal in regard to tbe stockproduced to any of their predecessors . The speeches at thc dinners succeeding them also were of a cheering character as to hopes of better times coming .

New EfECXBo-TjsmonArn Patext . —Tho introduction of the electric telegraph a year or two back excited amazement , bufc tbo working hitherto of that extraordinary power has not been worthy of tho subtle agency employed . We learn that this most striking invention of . modern times has now been brought to a _state of perfection in tbo working which will cause it . to be generally used .

this is done with a rapidity unknown tothe existing system . The new invention occurred to tho minds of an American and English gentleman almost at thc same time . The two patents have now been united , and tbe working management bas been entrusted to excellent hands , Messrs .

Shipwrecks And Loss Of Life, Since Satur...
SHIPWRECKS AND LOSS OF LIFE , Since Saturday night the equinoctial galea have set in along the north and north-east coast with _unusu _. i ! sererity , considering the early period <* f the season . Tlie " _casualties amongst the _shippinir , especially those in the coasting trade , havo nui- only been exceedingly numerous , but in several _bounces involved the Joss of ail on board , Up to Friiiay morning the weather continued fine ; as the day advanced , however , fogs and dnzzlinf *; vain camo on , which prevailed the whole night . The gab ' , which had been gradually increasing in violence from the N . E ., had by Saturday night reached a most _alarmiug aspect , raging along tho coast from Harwich northward to Scotland , with a heavy breaking sea , that excited general alarm for the safety of the shipping . Thc subjoined , it is feared , foris _' . i but a ! brief detail of tho havoc caused by the gales .
Between Sea ton Carew and Hartlepool the damage occasioned in the course of Sunday was c «* . _* _r-iwus . No fewer than fifteen vessels were driven . ••¦• _liure . Two of them afterwards sunk , and the other ** became perfect wrecks . The agent of Lloyd ' s hus obtained a list of some of their names , ami _niiiong them we find the brig James and Francis , Mr . Ross , master ; brig John Watson , Kirby , belonging to Hartlepool ; the Malta , Siren , Curlew , _Cumbi-rland , Elizabeth , the schooner X Y Z , tho Gcor _^ and Eleanor , Voyager , Swallow , Nimrod , Aid , and two German brigs laden with coals . A most _presidential circumstance connected with this terrible instance of wreckage is , thatthe crewssucceedisd in saving their lives with one exception , viz ., ti- * _.-. * e belonging to one of the Gorman brigs , who are- said to have heen washed off thc rigging and diowned . From Shields we hear that three vessels _;' . ; 0 announced to have been lost to the north of the
Marsden Rocks . One is described to bave Ivvii tbo Verbena , Captain Watson , bound for St . _iVIerflburg . Ilerc _, happily , the crew wero pre *• . •¦ red . Another was a schooner , whicli was totally 1 _> _* . _; , and all hands belonging to her perished in _atto-rni-ting to gain the rocks . In this neighbourhood of the coast the fury of the gale created the _deepest terror ; the sea rolled fearfully , and many painful forebodings are _cxpvassed fov the safety of _thosfc-vessels that put out in tho course of Saturday . _Father northward , fragments of wrecked vessels , _ni ><\ several bodies have been cast up . Sufficient ii ; _ue as yet bas not transpired to collect further i _* aV < rmation , but there appears to be little doubt th- * , ; . one or more vessels foundered with every soul i . c _: board during tbe storm . In the vicinity of Red ;*;; .- four
distressing _looses happened . In two _instanc-- * every unfortunate creature belonging to the _ves _^ _'i _"* _** met with a watery grave . They we ' re the Albioi _* , a brig , Mr . Brothcrton , master , of Newcastle , co ; :. l laden , and thc schooner John , of Sollcoats , with a cargo of linseed and deals . They were driven ashore- in the ( lend of the night , thc gale blowing _tremei-iuiusly from N . E ., and very speedily broke up . T * , ¦ .. - other two were a Dantzic brig , called the Johanii : _* : . - _* nd a vessel named the Frankfort , bound for _SLi-.-i-1-j Ifc is expected that the latter will be got off , ' ¦¦• ¦ it the foreigner was thrown on the rocks and _bvame a complete loss . Off Sunderland , _Middlesbrough , Whitby , and other places along this part of tk- coast groat mischief was caused . Between th <* upper part of thc coast of Durham , and nearly a .. , far aa
Yarmouth , as many as fourteen vessels arc i " .: jrted to ho ashore . Several have gone to _jiiecor _, and should the gale not have moderated , it is doubtful whether tlio vcuv . uwi « v oftho vessels couhl ' ¦ „ . _* . got off , Afc present it is difficult to conjecture Iho aggregate amount of property lost . Collision- at Ska _detwekx mm M . • ¦ •• - . sty ' s _Stkamehs Triubxt axd Dwam * off Co- * .-.:. —On Wednesday week a collision took place ai . -t between her Majesty ' s steamers Trident and _ Dwarf , hy which the latter was very severely _iojure-j . The full particulars have not reached us , but w : learn that the Trident , which had been engaged _< : _¦;¦ ' . ' uesday in towing out the Ganges from tho _. vu'uour _, was returning , when about sixty miles from : _y- A she ran down upon the Dwarf , which left on ' . i ¦• -. •¦ ¦ day evening for Portsmouth . A tremendous gate was blowing at the time , aud thc injury sustainoi i . _* y the Dwarf from the collision was such thafc the ' . ' idenfc
was obliged to take her into tow , and run for Kinsale harbour . Before reaching Kinsnle , l-. _* . a _* rer , tbo water gained so much upon the Divan ' , there being five feet water in the hold , that ti-: * crew were , as wo are informed , obliged to bc t ; i ' t * in ou board the Trident , and when the vessels ¦ _relied port tho Dwarf was in a . sinking conditi-a . On Thursday the Shearwater was ordered to __* : oceed to Kinsalc for the purpose of rendering suci . - _^ sistance as mi ght be necessary , but it was _fou-.

The ShearwateracconJiugly returned to Qui ¦ ...- town on Thursday night , During the early ¦ ., _•* .
