ready introduced to the whole musical world ; 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 , a 3 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 * J 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 no 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 X O R B S. Revision Of The Utu...
HOUSE O F X O R B S . REVISION OF THE UTURGV . Lord Eburt 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 . [ left sitting . ] HOUSE OF COMMONS . THE KEGIUBI DONUM The House went into committee of supply , and several minor votes were agreed to . On the vote of . £ 29 , 193 , the regium donum to nonconforming clergy in Ireland , Mr . Baxter protested against two or three dissenting sects being selected for this grant , and objected to such grants altogether as having been given for political purposes . Mr . Labouchere 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 lie believed no party in Ireland objected , and the nonconformists in that country were placed in a position different to that of their coreligionists and other sects elsewhere . Mr . Cardwell sa *& that , as the whole question would be before the House next year , he would not enter into the discussion at present . Mr . Spooler had no objection to the present grant , which stood on different grounds to that of Maynooth , to which lie should always be opposed . The hpn . 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 , 588 . * , 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 wero of value oxily to tho Church of England . Tho House divided , and the numbers were—¦ JTor the vote . . . . 82 Against . . . . 72 Majority . . . —10 Tho vote was accordingly agreed to . (" left sitting . ]
France. A Paris Correspondent Writes :—"...
FRANCE . A Paris correspondent writes : — " The tone of all the French and continental journals of yesterday shows how Uttlo tho news of the reduction of armaments was . expected , Does it indicate a change of policy , or does it show that tho Emperor ' s intontjons have been very generally mistaken ? Tho question deserves a dispassionate consideration . I am not ; prepared to answer it at present , But , speaking without prejudice , I mxist mako this romark-r ^ that tho line which separates a peace footing from n wur footing is not very distinctly drawn in franco . I have asked several military and naval officers , who toll mo that it is a question of dogrco , but they tiro
uttorly unable to say what are tho boundaries . With regard to tho naval sorvicu this observation particularly applies . It will bo impossible to estimate at its true vnlue tho announcement in tho Monitew until wo know-how many inon have boen disbanded and how many ehipa laid up . " M . lioger , , tho celebrated tenor of tho Grand Onora , mot with n terrible necidont the other Jay while walking out with his gun in hia park at VUlors-sur-Murne . While getting over a hedge his piece wont off and lodged tho contents in his ftnn . Amputation was found to be necessary . Tho operation w * 8 successfully performed , and no dnngor to lils life was untlcipatcU .
