      Princess's Theatre.—The First Appearance...

      written comedy , " They . ' re Both to Blame . " These . artists , are , we might almost say , inimitable in their delineation of the turbid double-blessedness which occasionally waits on marriages for money . It is a > ource ofsincere gratification ^ to the admirers of the ormer , whose jgenteel come"dy can hardly be spared from our modern theatre , to find that he has at last made successful head against the protracted series of indisposition that has so long baffled his efforts to return to his profession . HAYatAKKET Theatre . —A rapid succession of sterling comedies , ably represented by Mr . Buckstone ' s , strong and trell-drilled troupe , continues to ^ ive varie ty to the Haymarket bills , while at halfprice our old friend , " Paul Pry , " with Mr . and Mrs . Charles Matthews , exercises his antique spell upon all spectators , and compels them to sit out a three-act play , containing no more material than would furnish Forth a one act farce of the present fast age . As Paul , Mr . Matthews , though less interesting ( so your very old playgoers say ) , because , perhaps , better Jooking , than the late lamented Mr . Xiston , is of , course , extremely droll . While extremely vivacious , be it also observed , he steers clear of all vulgarity . Mr . Chippendale is properly sententious arid gentlemanlike as the Colonel , while the part of the latter ' s pretty daughter , Phoebe , is adequately filled by Mrs . Matthews . The revival is extremely successful .

      New Music. The Publishers Are Preparing ...

      NEW MUSIC . The publishers are preparing for the winter season in earnest . Messrs . Cramer , Beale , and Chappel l , and Messrs . Boosey are both extensive contributors to the list of novelties . Several meritorious compositions by Walter Maynard head the list . Among them are " Meditation , " a song of considerable merit , and " Why did weSfcmeet ?" a sentimental ballad ( for the contralto ); both of winch will become drawing-room favourites . "Haste , liasite to the hills of beautiful Wales " ( for the tenor voice ) , a pleasing strain of poesy , by Mr . J . James , simply and attractively set by Mr . G . A . Maci ' arren , appears to have been written , if we may judge by the fervidly patriotic allusions it contains , apropos of the recent royal visit to the principality . Among the Messrs . Boosey ' s publications are three , brilliant pianoforte pieces by A . Schloesser , the best Of them "Deodora , " and a nocturne , by J . Ascher , upon a theme from Verdi ' s " Ballo in Maschera . " Mr . Balfe ' s new ballad , the words by Kingsley , The Sands of Dee , " is one of the composer ' s best : stern , simple , melodious , and extremely touching . Not' the least interesting among the musical novelties of the . day will be found the taro songs , " Leave us Not , " and " There is a Happy Land , " published ( in one cover ) by Ollivierj of Bond ^ street , and composed by Amie Coyne , a young student under twelve years of age . Dissenting from the arrangements of the title page , we are disposed to place first the religious melody , "There is a Happy Land , " which is treated with solid simplicity , reminding VLB at once of the grace and the power of Mendelssohn . The " Leave us Not" is a young artist ' s reverie of fin less strength and originality ; but the two taken together leave us no room for doubt that the composer' lias early found hersel mistress of a degree of technical knowledge , feeling and application unusual in so young a person . The path of musical precocities is not so dubious , if we may trust experience , as that of others ; and we would encourage our young poetess , should she meet with rough reminders , that she is yet a tyro in musical science , nor has felt enough to be impassioned , to remember that inasmuch as the composer of ' Don Giovanni'' wroje the antiquated and comparatively Colourless , " Revolt of the Serail , " when he was but a year or two older than herself ; the full measure of inspiration is clearly not always meted out to the most skilful , or apparently profound ,, of youthful enthusiasts . * The maiden of twelve who set " There is a Happy Land , " and has the advantage of Mrs . Mounsey Bartholomew ' s tuition , has bright prospects before her , which one cannot but hope she will have health and industry to realise .

      GraitERAL HARNEY , 1 PRQM AN AMERICAN , POINT on View . — -Brigadier-General William S , Harnoy has been an eye-sore to the people of the United States any time these twenty years . His name is as naturally and universally coupled with deeds of savagery and baseness on this side of the Atlantic as that of Haynau on the othor . He has all the elements of a Sepoy or the Caraanche , and not a single characteristic , so far aa the public are advised , of the olviilscd American soldier . His reputation ha , 8 been acquired by three notable exploits : * . Whipping women to death . 2 . Butchering an WC * W & t of Sioux Indians , with their women and , cn » dren , under a flag of truoo , 3 . Provoking Colonel Sumnor to send him a challenge , and then sneaking off to got > him arrested and tried , by oourt-Paartlal , - * C 7 iicaoo Preaa .

      The Congress. The Co7istitutionnel Of Th...

      THE CONGRESS . The Co 7 istitutionnel of this day ( Friday ) , in an article signed by its editor , M . Grandguillot , maintains its belief , -notwithstanding the restrictions made by the English press , that a Congress will take place . The Gonstitutionnel explains the reasons which have rendered the speedy assembling of a Congress necessary . The state of affairs in Italy had been settled by the treaties , of 1815 in such a manner that the arrangement agreed to must humiliate France and compromise the political existence of the Peninsula , in consequence of which permanent dangers were created to Europe . This state of affairs was the real eause ^ of the revolutions of 1830 and 1848 . The article concludes with a protestation against the statement that France intends to establish a protectorate over Italy .
