      ¦ ? Mont Blanc. We Expressed Last Week O...

      ? MONT BLANC . We expressed last week our somewhat selfish regret at the temporary loss of Mr . Axbbrt Smith , who-is off on bis usual Autumnal tour , and our pleasant anticipations of what he has In store for the ensuing Winter nights ; but a few extracts from Ma lively prorogation speech may not be inappropriate . He thus reviewed the history of his successes : — ** I took the Egyptian Hall in February , 1852 ; and so little opinion had I , at that time , of my subject , or any own powers , that I only engaged the room for a few weeks j and of these nearly a month was spent in putting it in order ; for a succession of cheap exhibitions ; had left the building in a most disreputable condition . I gave my first entertainment on the 13 th of March , 1852—five years and a half ago—and to-night is the 1744 th time I have had the honour of appearing before you—consecutively and in the same room . I believe that this success has been , in a great degree , owing to several reforms I introduced here , which the larger places of public amusement might follow with advantage . - . . . Those of my audience who care for figures may be interested in hearing that my rent here is nearly 60 QL a year ; that the working expenses of the entertainment are 75 J . a week ; and that the cost of producing the yearly alterations for a new season has never been under 500 / . ; indeed , in 1854 , when the Oberlaud and the Simplon were brought out , and the Swiss decorations built in the room , I spent nearly 1000 ? . before a farthing came back again . I mention these facts against the absurd statements I have seen , both in the English and American papers , of the enormous fortune I have made here . Let me briefly lstate what are my intentions for the winter . I start the day after to-morrow to colect new materials ; and my route will be through what I may term the * popular Switzerland' — -by Zurich , the Eigi , Lucerne , and Grindelwald , to Chamouni , and thence over the Great St . Bernard ( where my excellent old friends , the monks , have got a pup for me ) to Genoa . I shall then take ship for Naples ; and I hope that in Pompeii , in the Bine Grotto at Capri , and in the Grotto del Cane , and on the summit © £ the . crater of Vesuvius ( which has been rather turbulent and unsettled lately ) , I may find something to beguile the long evenings of the ensuing winter . I only hope , after my visit , that everybody will not go scrambling up Vesuvius as they did up Mont Blanc , until the subject is utterly vulgarized and spoilt . "

      Theatrical And Musical Notes. Pkeviouslt...

      THEATRICAL AND MUSICAL NOTES . Pkeviousltt to his departure from England for America , Mr . Charles Mathews made a final appearance on the night of Friday week at the Royal

      AKPHrrHGATBB , Liverpool , when the house was crowded in every part . In hia fareweli address , Mr . Mathewe said : — u I made r ay first appearance m Liverpool more than fifty years ago . ( Oh , oh !) Pardon me , I don ' t mean to Bay-a public appearance , though doubtless I made myself heard . ( Laughter . ) I happened to be born in Basneti-6 treet , within a few doors of this theatre ; so that , in pride of birth , and in the feelings that still Jink me to you I am actually a Dickey Sanx . ( Cheering . ) Ladies and gentlemen , —really , I have nothing to say . ( Laitghter . ) I think that , as we have over and over again laughed together for so many years , it would not be right to try to make , you cry at parting . I yet hope to make yon laugh once more on my return . In all my troubles , and they have not been few , I have been accustomed to come for hope and sympath y to the public . About twenty years ago I made my first false step in life . I took Covent Garden Theatre , and the consequences have hung a millstone round my neck , which I never eonld get rid of since . My fair fame has been , perhaps , somewhat tarnished . ( . No , no !) Ob , yes ; Iknow the existing opinion is that I am a thoughtless ffelW who is eternally getting info difficulties , then getting out of them , arid then creating new ones . I assure you that this is an error . ( Cheers . ) It reminds me of the story of the nigger , who , when his master said to him— ' What . ' drunk again , you rascal ? ' -replied , 'No , no , massa , not drunk again—same drunk- —same drunk . ' ( Cheers and laughter . ) Well , so it is with me . " The 134 th meeting of the choirs of Worcester , Hereford , and Gloucester , com ' menced on Tuesday . The grand festival at the conclusion of the second season of the ill-starred Surrey Gardens commenced on Monday riighthunder the sole direction of M . JOT . LJCEN , and was largely attended , —certain circumstances , which are related in another part of our this , day ' s paper , exciting in the public a strong feeling of sympathy with the buoyant Frenchman . GrRrsi , Alboni , and Miss Pools , combined their attractions in the Music Hall , -while in the gardens a vast number of out-door entertainments—including old English morris dances , performances on the ¦* double trapeze , ' a Spanish ballet on a stage erected for the purpose , balloon ascents , an open-air concert , and a display of fireworks , accompanied by a perilous ascent and descent of the tight-rope by Mademoiselle Pauuutje Violanti—afforded ceaseless amusement to the crowds of pleasure-seekers . The regular dramatic season at the Princess ' s having closed , Mr . Beai , e has opened the theatre for a series of Italian opera performances . - Monday was the first night , when Verdi ' s Traviata was acted . Madame Gassier sustained Piccoixkmxni ' s celebrated part with considerable effect ; and Mario was tender and impassioned as the hero . The elder Germont was performed by a new barytone , Sign or Dbagose . Who was well received by the audience . Norma and Rigoletto have since been given . ,.

      London, Friday Evening, August 28,1807. ...

      London , Friday Evening , August 28 , 1807 . Tub news from India , frightful in its details of past horrors , and pregnant in anxiety for tho future , has mode but Uttlo impression on the Funds . It has become tho rule witU the dally Jouraals to make light of the ooourrenoes now transacting In our former Indian empire , and of passing

      over the supineriess and mismanagement of the Downing and Leadenhall-street Boards . This , ere long , w ill be changed into a succession of abusive articles , as we find bow deeply interested we all are , and how imperilled our whole commonwealth must be , by a continuance or the Indian calamities . , , So , far ahead in 1858 aud . 1859 , one may see loans and subsidies in perspective . To raise and keep in India one hundred , thousand men , to go through the usual ollieial mismanagement and lose stores , and warlike equipments , and men , which will surely come under our system , will cause enormous expenditure , and the expenses ox tne Russian war will Bink into insignificance beside tbis laircer trouble . If Delhi be not taken before Christmas , the war will cost nearer ten millions than Qve . Foreign funds vary but little . Turkish Six per Cent , are about 85 . French Railway lines are firm , no great amount of business doing . Grand Trunk of Canada and Great Western of Canada are more in demand . Eastern Counties and Dovers are firmly held ; in Berwicks , Great Northerns , Caledonians , and North Staffords there have been very good buyers . The heavy share market , London and North-Western , ' South Western , Midland , and Lancashire and Yorkshire , are firm but not buoyant .

      MAJOH'S IMPROVEMENTS in VETERINARY SCIENCE . " If progress is daily made in Medical Science by those whose duty it is to study the diseases to which the luitnati flesh is heir , it would seem , that improvements in Veterinary art quite keep pace with it , as is manifest on a visit to tho well-known Horse Infirmary of Mr . Major , in Cockspurstreet . Here incipient and chronic lameness is discovered and cured . with a facility truly astonishing , while the elfl . caoy of the remedies , and the quickness of their action , appear to have revolutionised the whole system of firing and blistering . Among the most recent proofs of the cure of spavins by Mr . Major , we inay mention Cannobio . the winnor of the Metropolitan , and second favourite for the Derby , and who is now as sound as his friends and backers could desire . And by the advertisement of Mr . Major ' s pamphlet in another column , we perceive that other equally miraculous cures are set forth , which place him at the head of the Veterinary art in London , "—Globe , May 10 , 1850 .
