PORTRAIT OF FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ .
In another column our readers will observe an advertisement of a lithographic portrait of Mr Ieargus O'Connor , from an ori ginal painting , by T . Martix . We have seen specimens , both plain ami coloured , and must pronounce Mr Martin ' s work an nnmistakeable likeness of the breathing original . We have heard several critical objections , to wit : — liat the drawing is not perfect ; that the figure is deficient in length ; that Mr O'Connor is both younger and better-looking than this portrait represents , &c , &c . In spite of these objections , the ¦ wor th of which the tens of thousands who know Mr O'Connor can decide when they see the engraving , ¦ we have not met any one who has hesitated to say"This is the man . " If not perfect , we must pronounce this portrait at least the most striking likeness we have yet seen .

• THE GENERAL ELECTION . As nearly six y are have elap 3 td since the last general election , it may not perhaps be altogether uninteresting to our readers to be reminded of the course that was then adopted with respect to the dissolution of the old and the meeting of thenew parliament . Her Majesty in nereon prorogued the then parliament on the 22 nd of June , 1 S 41 . The dissolution by proclamation took place on the following day , the new parliament being summoned to meet , and met accordingly , on 19 th Au » nst , a period of 58 days -0 iu 3 intervenins ; between the two events . The legfs-Jarare having then assembled , the sittings continued lor a period of seven weeks—viz ., from August 19 to October ? , when the session , by successive adjournmentvwas carried over until the month of February
ot the following year . Supposing this precedent to be followed on the present occasion , and that parliament be adjourned on the 8 th , and dissolved on the 9 th of July , as anticipated ( though such anticipations S 3 to the close of sessions have generally proved illusory by a period of protraction of about ten days ) , then , allowing , as in the firmer instance , 58 days for tue elections and the interval necessary for , and con sequent upon , the calling cf a new parliament , the second session of the 11 th Victoria will commence on theTlh of September . On the previous occasion , the new parliament commenced Us sittings on the 19 ih of August which were protracted until the- 7 th of October , principally from the fact of Lord Melbourne's ^ government having been outvoted on the address in both housesin reference to the paragraph
, in the speech from the throne , calling upon parliament to consider the laws regulating the trade in corn , with the view of determining whether they did not aggravate the natural fluctuations of supply , embarrass trade , derange the currency , diminish the comforts , and increase the privations of the people , ¦ votes , which necessarily led to the delays and adjournments consequent upon the formation of anew administration . Circumstances , however , have changed fiiEce then : Sir R . Peel has changed ; the C 6 rn laws ^ are all but defnnct ; and it reay , therefore , be pre-Buined that the forthcoming initiatory session , if it commences on or about the 7 th of September , will terminate in a moath or five weeks from tbat period , should no untoward circumstances , foreign or domestic , intervene .

n « MAjKtr a Tu «« re , under the pre-eminentiV staltul nam of its talented and liberal iS stands alone m its glory , the first musical ^ tablhhment in the . world . Ind ^ S of £ posassion of the coveted treasure ot Europe the far-famed Jenny Lind-the galaxy of artistf cal accomplishment , by which Mr-Lnrnky " £ Z ilr * P ° - l U h 0 U ? »«*¦ "Sly « na " proachabie . Private royal visits and special coi £ mands follow , „ , ck saccession , while the whole rfw . 1 ? ^ t 0 catch tbe dulcet note 8 JS ^ *™ - "Norraa" was produced on luesday for the purpose of introducing Mdlle Lwd for the nrst tune to an English audience in hat character , the Queen honourin g the represcntatora with a State visit—the entire performance being by " special command . " It is needless to say that Jenny Lmd s vocalisation and enaction were triumphs of art ; thuu « h our contemporaries are not so unanimous in according the enthusiastic praise it has hitherto been their wont to offer to every impersonation th ' w highly-gifted vocslist has as yet pourtrayed Nevertheless , the performance may be placed m juxtaposition with that of therival establishment , CovBvr Gardes , where Grmhns been brought forth in the same character , and who , Eeemiogly catching additional inspiration from the "Nightingale , " has more than outvied previous efforts , and bas been received with unbounded apshuse . At this theatre , too , . a splendid ballet , noraenclated " Manou
Leacant , " has beea produced , in which the inimitable Fanny Elssler gladdens the sisbt of all beholders . —Mrs Kisbett , the bmht particular star of the dramatic world , has returned ( fur twelve nights ) to Mr Webster ' s elegant establishment ; thus adding another to the mar . y attractions of the Hatmabkki , which continues to bo well and fashionably attended , notwithstanding its dangerous proximity to the house of the " Swedish nightingale . " The last new drama of " The Jacobite , " and the farce of " Who do they Take me For ? " are highly successful . Mr Webster ' s retireEcct from the management has been spoken of , but we attach no credence to the report . — The Ltcelu bas closed its doore after a long and prosperous season , under the able direction of the
Kceleys , who deserved a better fate than to be made the victims of individual caprice , or collective disapprobation . Mr Arnold and the debenture holders , between them , have the merit of having driven these talented artistes from a management , which we much question whether the incoming tenants will make cither profitable or lasting . It is understood tbat Madame Vestris and MrC . Mathews are to be the future lessees . Mrs Keeley , in her own happy , winning manner , delivered to a crowded house the following farewell address , which was received wltb much a cp lause : — " To-night , dear friends , no lightly-wordtd string Of jests and puns to raise yonr lsugh I bring ; No promises of novelty in store - To please you , can I make , as heretofore . I come but now to thank you for the past ; Since here we meet for the last time—the last . Yet , as the 8 iMirr , tired of war ' s nlarrns , Loves to rtcouut his bygone deeds of arms . Fain would I name before we part ior good ' A few old friends who firnsly by us stood , Since first 'Young Bailey' caaie— the wilful scamp , "With tbat good woman , " which her name was Gamp . '" Then , listening to' The Chimes , ' no wrongs could
turn The love of' Meggy VecV from Lillian Fern . * Next , in the' Ciicket on the Hearth ' s' shrill sonnd Poor Dot— "That ' s me again , John "—comfort found . * And lastly , in Life ' s Battle' sorely tried , ' Clemency Newcombs' robbed her arms , and cried . Turn we from * the great writer of the age To other gayer friends who trod this stage . First , of the tribe Burlesque upon our roll , Forty fair Thieves' your early favour stole . Then young Aladdin' brought before our lights More gorgeous stores from the Arabian Ni ghta . Xest b » ld' Sir Valentiiie' obtained your praise , And savage' Orson' danced his truaiufaite . Then , turn'd wgain by Bow bells' nursery air , Little' Dick Whittington' btcnme Lord Mayor ; And from the kitchen , where she long had pined , Poor ''Cinderella' felt your welcome kind . What wondrou- o'j . ' -cts followed in their course ! ' Prince Firoui Schah' and his 'Enchanted Horse , ' Bold ' Robin Kood , ' and dashing' Little Juhn / The' Magic Horn , ' and cup ef' Oberon ;' Ths 'EnchantedForest , 'and its strange live stock , Till the Wood Damon' cried " Past one o ' clock !" It has been urged by critics most profound , Oar efforts might have taken higher ground ; That we threw o ' er the grand for the grotesque , And gave our chief attention to Burlesque . Bat if the topics of the day were hit By pointed epigram and harmless wit ; Or Care ' s dull , gloomy vfeage waj beguiled lato a lighter train of thought , and smiled—If you but fejf , whilst laughing at our fun , Tbe sanes of common life more brightly run , Surely you will not' such smalt deer ' abuse For answering one grand object—to amuse . And , novr , the saddest task is left . To all , Who thus to-night responded to eur call , With more deep feeling than mere words can tell , Let me but sp ? ak that cruel one—Farewell ! One hope alone can rob it of its pain-That—at some period—we may meet again !"
—At the Process ' s the " legitimate" is in the ascendant , Macready , Mrs Warner , and Creswick , carryins all before them . The " eminent" trage dian has been well supported by these artistes in running through the range of his principal characters . The " King and the Piper" has been the afterpiece , which , by-the-way , we deem a very meagre affair . — At tbe Adelphi , Buckstone ' s " FJowers of tbe Forest , " with the comedietta of "Flyin » Colours , " and the immensely laughable burletta of "Jenny Lind , " haTe proved the ' staple attraction . A new fiveaet drama snd a farce are announced for Monday evening . —AttheQuEEs ' s , melodrama , ballet divertissemenfc , and nisger vocalization are the order of ihe evening . " The Secret Witness , " " . Dominique
the D . serter , " and " The Dead Woman ' s Secret , " are delighting the lovers of the mysterious and horrible . —Crossing the water , the operatic company at the Sohkf . t . with Mr 'fully as leader , consisting of Me ? sra Harrison , Leffler , lloncastle , and M'Mahon , and Mis-es Rainforth and Isaacs , have been giving the "Barber of Seville , " " Fra Diavolo , " " The Forest Maiden , " and " La Sonnambula , " in their accustomed style of excellence , to crowded houses . The American tragedian , Mr J . It . Scott , has also been attempting Shakspeare and the higher order of melodrama . —At Astlki ' s , ( who has nut been to Astlcv ' s ?) our friend Baity lacketh not his usual energy and enterprise in catering for his numerous and aristocratic patrons . The last new spectacle
has attracted crowded and delighted audiences , and the cow scenes in the circle are really wonderful and siirpriBinsly clever . —VAUxniti ^ the Storet GaRDBNS aud Cbemokse , are each endeavouring to supersede in the goal of public favour ; and the recent delightful weather hss , we trust , made some amends for th ? great outlay the p < oprietors of these establishments must have gone to in tbe preparation of the highly instructive and interesting attractions offered . At the Surrey Gardens , Jullien and bis unrivalled band arc listened to with rapturous applause ; and we may Snaliy add that at the present season these latterearned public resorts are well worthy a visit , and will be highly relished , even by those who pall the sense beyond its strength .

RoTiL Poittechsic IssTiiunox . —There has been lately deposited in the museum of this establishment a model of a railroad called " Clausen ' s Safety Roilrond . " It consists of an additioaal rail ( termed the guide rail ) being placed in tbe centre of the line , and elevated nine or twelve inches above the train rai ? 3 , this being formed of either wood or metal . Under each carriage is placed two sets of guide wheels , each set consisting of one horizontal and two vertical wheels—so arranged that the horizontal wheel sball come within a very short distance of the upper part , whilst the vertical wheels come on either side of the £ uidc rail , none of them , however , touching , so long as everything remains in perfect order . But iio sooner has the carriage a tendency to run off the line , than the vertical wheels come in contact with the side of the guide rail , and keep it secure in its position ; or should an axletree break , a wheel become displaced , or a rail removed , so that the carriage bas a tendency to drop , as it were , from its position , the horizontal wheel then comes in contact with the upper part of the guide rail , and carries it on in perfect safety . It is even shown by the model tbat two rails may be removed one opposite the other , and still the train will proceed in perfect safety : this is a test , however , that we may say it would cover be subjected to in practice .

Natural Phenomenon . —On Sunday evening last a very extraordinary commotion of the eea took place in Penzance Bay , which was observed by a great number of persons . About half-past five o ' clock the sea made a rush on to the beach for fifty or sixty feet , and immediately receded to its natural position . This occurred a great many times up to half-past eight . The boats at Nelwjn and Penzance were sometimes afloat , and then again almost dry ; those th . t were at the moorings at Gwavas-lske all showed their heads towards the offing , although the -wind at the time was blowing very strong off the land . A
