in retiring from the above bu.ine.se., to retarn thanks to hk Friend, and the Pahlic for the liberal support he has received, and solicit, a contimmaee tfepir RussEtL. Amid the many conflicting opinions pronounced by the London pres upon this young lady's pretensions as a singer and actress, perhaps we shall not do wrong in giving publicity to the following, which ha been sent us by a gentleman, on whose opinion we can rely, who happened to be present at Drnry-lane theatre on the night of her coming out as "Josephine Negretti," in the opera of Hofer: "Being in town on Tuesday week (says our correspondent), and seeing Miss Russell announced for one of Madame Vestris's best characters, namely, that of Josephine Negretti, in Hofer, I was naturally curious to witness her debut. Long before the curtain drew up, obtained a seat near the stage in th dress circle, and listened to the opinions of some individuals, whom I was told were writers for the newspapers, as to the chances of the new singer. They all agreed that she would not have a fair chance in character which Vestris had made her own, and seemed to think she was exposing herself to a decided failure. These remarks encreased my anxiety for the fair debutante, which was not lessened by the crowded state of the house.

Miss Russell came on, led by Sinclair, and was received with most ominous silence, but I was soon relieved of my anxiety with regard to her success, for she speedily became lees' embarrassed, and delivered the -retorts to the cowardly officer who moults her cousin very successfully, and was much applauded but th decision was suspended till she came to the song Sweetiy on the wings of morning," which she sang delightfully, amidst loud and general applause. Indeed, an eaeWe was strongly called for, but some opposition being. manifested, it was most judiciously abandoned, as I believe, Vestris was seldom, if ever encored in it as it 4a too long for repetition. After this I felt no further difficulty a to her success, and indeed th piece was much anplaaded on the dropping of the curtain. Se veral musiesi friends were present, who sR thought it Very successful debut one in particular, who had seen Vevfn invehe emit, wad on whose judgment I must rely, told me the public would have been difficult to please had they not been; satisfied with Miss Russell's performance lie further characterised her singing a possessing great sweetness, and exhibiting a decidedly musical education.

I know that Lee, Phillips, and Sinclair, were not only satisfied, but astonished at her success It is perhaps not surprising that such extraordinary opposite opinions should be pronounced, when we recollect the. favouritism. which prevails with regard to actors and actresses amongst the members of the Lqndon press." Music We understand, that the song Our King is a True British Sailor," (see advertisement), is written by Captain Mitford, R.N., late Commander of his Majesty's ship Buckingham and, from the great character of the words and music, must prove one of the most popular naval songs since the days of Dibdin. It is dedicated to our most gracious Queen, Adelaide, and will, doubtless, become a great favourite with the ladies of England. On Tuesday hut a handbill made its appearance at Peterborough, addressed to the electors," stating that Lord Milton had intimated to some friend his determination to vacate his seat in Parliament and that they had satisfaction in announcing that Mr.

Fazakeriey, an old and intimate friend of his lordship, would shortly pay his respects to the electors, and solicit their votes Stamford Mercury. We are sorry to hear that incendiarism baa tn mani. for hi. auccessor, Mr. B.

We need not say we concur in the prayer of the petition. Newark DREADFUL INUNDATION AT MANCHESTER. Manchester, hVednesday Morning, Eight thousand acres oi meadow land have been laid under waarr, properly to an enormous amount baa been destroyed. Oo Monday evening last the rain fell In torrentsand during the succeeding night there was a storm, such as has not been experienced in this part of the kingdom for upwards of Airy year, Tri twefve orlo k- yesterday the ram comineed, and apprehensions were justly entertained of serioos results.

In the afternoon of yesterday the river Irwell rose upwards of forty feet beyond its usual level. Miny hundred seres of land i the vicinity of Broughton were laid under aster, and La one field no less than eleveu cows were drowned. Towards bur o'clock the river Irwell presented an awful scene. The wrecks of houses, cottage, bleaching-wru ks, Ac. were seen floating down the tide.

Upwards of 100 large casks of about 48 gallons measurement each, passed through tha arches of the several bridges in this town, annouadng the destruction of the lame print-works and dye-houses of Messrt. Ramsbottom, near Bury. Towards Warrington, the effects ot the storm were terrible. The coaches from limt town were detained for several hours, tie road being inundated. It is Impossible to foi a correct estimate of the loss sustained through this appalling od but ic must certainly exceed j7 100,000.

LATEST FROM LONDON. The New Administration has, we believe we may affirm, been completed in all its parts, except the Legal Department. It has been formed under the direction of Earl Grey and it is not true that his Lordship declined the duty, which his Majesty confided to him in a manner the most frank and cordial. Mr. Brougham, it is positively asserted, has resolutely declined the Seals and it was not until he was assured that much depended on his accession to the Government, that Lord Authors could be Ere vailed upon accept office.

The New Cabinet baa een formed without alloy. It will boast the effective services of Lord Palmers ton, with the commercial wisdom and brilliant eloquence of Mr. Grant the shadowy Hoe which at one period divided the enlightened Statesmen of Mr. Huakjsson's connexion from the other friend of libera politics being happily obliterated. Of the ar raogements no more has transpired than Lord Grev'e personal inclination to be at the head of the Admiralty, which he formerly occupied, rather thad any other department; and that Lord Aogleses, with Mr.

Stanley for his Chief Secretary, is to have th Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland. Iu this case Mr. Doherty would remain most probably in office as Solicitor General. It is believed that Lord Grey will not assume the ostensible position of Premier but that Lord Spencer, or possibly Lord Carlisle, will be at the Head of the Treasury, the members of the new Cabinet each enjoying; thst influence over the counsels of the Government which may fairly belong to him individually, without being subject to the same dic-tattoh'on the part of any one Minister, as characterised UMLiala AdminiatratiAa I jxrA Pusak T- mm Ul -ui kersyfti rsii to bat of what nature the proposition to son iSf we cannot state with anv certatnrv. To pir jono Letcn do appitrarion an oeen made: nor is it comeru prated to put the Great Seal in Commission.

Lord Melbourne is named a one of the perse included in the present arrangments, which, notwithstanding the contrary reports industriously circulated, we believe to be in great measure matured. We do not find Lord Anglesey's appointment to the Government of Ireland, or the nomination of Mr. Stanley likely to meet with any general approval among the parties most immediately concerned. It is generally thought that Mr. Denman will be Attorney General.

With respect to Mr. Brougham's refusal of the Chancellorship, under an Administration of which he approves the politics, people know not what to think. A public man who refuses office under such circumstances, can only do so because he thinks the office beneath him and the Chancellorship is not generally thought beneath the ambition of a Lawyer. Office enables a roan to carry his views into effect and to refuse to take office is only therefore justifiable when a man cannot act with an Administration. Morning Chronicle ot jester day.

Ik dependence t.he dinner at the White Hart Hotel, on Friday neat will be very numerously attended, nearly th whole of the tickets having already been dis posed 01. MbsSbT sjf 'the Como- ration on Thursday, was numerously attended, but neither the town nor county members were present on the occasion. Indeed, we understand, the number of county gentlemen was very limited, compared with some former years.

Sir F. G. Fowke, Bart and R. Gpugh, Esq. were the principal speakers.

One called upon the blues to be united, and the other said some fine things on the increase of knowledge among others, that a little knowledge was a dangerous thing but as the fumes of the wine did not permit the Reporter to furnish an account of the speeches in time for thw week's papers, we are compelled to forego the gratification of presenting them to oar readers in the present publication. At the Exchange, yesterday, a man named Tims was committed to the borough gaol for a month, for maliciously breaking three panes of a sash window, belonging: to Mr. Brown, in Church gate, on Monday night. The prisoner was seen in the act of throwing the stones, by an individual who knew him, and who gave information to Mr. Brown.

Two atones, weighing about a pound and a half each, were found in the room. What could have prompted tha prisoner to commit such an act is a matter of surprise, as parties were perfect strangers to each other. Fortunately, no person, was in the room at the time. The small pox and measles are very prevalent in this town at the present time. We give, in another part of our paper, some account of a meeting of the working classes, held in the Humber-stone-gate, on Monday, for the purpose of promoting the success of the National Association for the Protection of Labour." We understand that as many as two thousand workmen joined the association the same evening! A conple were married at St Mary's church on Monday, who have already a family of fifteen children betwixt them, namely, the widower six, and the widow nine A correspondent who furnished us with this information designates the happy couple as two old 's, but we really do not see why he should be so angry with them, for we understand they are not very likely to make any further addition to the number of his Majesty's liege subjects Loughborough Fajr.

Od Saturday, Loughborough Martinmas fair was well attended, store beasts were in abundance, and obtained advanced prices fat stock were not so abundant, prices obtained for excellent qualities were 5d to 5Q, per )b. Inferior kinds obtained 4d. There were many sprees; and good colts sold freely at improving prices. Nags were not so plentiful, nor so much in demand. Of mfcrmr animals there was quite ships! At Loughborough statutes, on Monday, the hirings were numerous and servants were also in abundance.

According to the times, good wages were given. The attendance of shows was numerous. A lad had his leg broken by a swing boat; and a man from Wimeswould had his hand so crushed; as to render amputation necessary, which was performed by Air. Brown, at the Dispensary. The Mayor and Chamberlains sent 177 pounds of beef to the Trinity Hospital on Saturday, for which the inmates (in note which they have sent) express themselves very gratefully.

There was another large and respectable meeting on Thusday, at StaudwelPs Hotel in Stamford, of persons interested id the proposed railroad between Oakham St Stamford. T. Paget Esq. attended, and' candidly avowed that he did so for the purpose, not. of advocating any rail-road, but of promoting a line of water-communication between Har borough and Stamford, by making navigable the river Wetland.

Mr. Meredith and Mr. Torkington solicitors, upon being pressed, acknowledged that the course of conduct which they bad pursued at the former meetinr had the as Mr. Paget now avowed, though they had spoken only of the preference due to a more extended line of milmod Many amusing observations were made on this confession of the worthy tne course of the conversation, it wasasseneu oy uc prvusvwrrayi me uanham and Stamford railroad, that if the new coal-pits near Leicester are brought into work, the very best coals from that quarter may be de lirered at Stamford, by means of the railroad, at 1 8s. 7d.

The news of the resignation of the Duke of Wellington and his coadjutors was received at Stamford. and at Boston on Wednesday with strong demonstrations of joy.

Our anticipations in respect to the Wellington administration hare been even more than fcdffled. We stated that it must either be strengthened by an accession from the least nn congenial of the opposing ranks, or fall.

With fatuity almost imparailekd, itjwenot only declined seeking an infusion of comparative popular strength in the way of office, but has absolutely constructed a yawning trench in the line of its own advancement, by an astounding declaration of the uwmprotxabililjf of British representation. There was an honesty about this blunder of the Duke of Wellington, which renders it a thousand times more pardonable than would have been the circuitous proceeding in the same direction, of a difierent sort of man, It was intended (we smile) as a tocsin to the Tory borongh-monger, who in the magnanimity of his resentment for Catholic emancipation, has refused to listen. Had he been wise in his generation and indisputably the Duke had a right to expect as much he would have abeyed the calL We say this in advertence to his own pafnsjajki meaning the principles which will still actuate him he appose the overthrow of rotten borough-moxigering with all has xasgh. Bad the call been obeyed, that system must gradually hat yielded, but his standing aloof will rather hasten the catastrophe than retard it We are not in ultra Tory Councils, but muck may be gathered, with due sEtesstaflD, from observation and comparison, and we have no sort ostestttbt, that the ultra Tory dream at present, is of a atacng administration of a deep blue complexion, which would suspend habeas corpus acts yemnanizt popular discontent draw the edjgbt with regard to monopoly re-enact religions disability, and perform a si'ontftpd other fine things, with thai sort of amiable inattention to the tone of society and the nature of things, which has distinguished Charles X. of France, and Prince Polignac When JCVfrWC pbjraMsd ehaaaa in tba PMh tUeMsrMf tcud to it hot when mental or intellectual obstacle im pedes their progress, they are as blind to it as Balaam, and want the additional acumen of his Ass.

A riot in the next town a disturbance in a corner of the county or some such manifestation of uneasiness is to be understood but that flow in the tide of general conviction that setting of mental wind and tide in one direction, which is uniformly the precursor of great social modification, is never appreciated but by its effects. An example is worth a thousand precepts where now is the old haughty, domineering aristocracy of France Echo replies where Where will be that of our own united kingdom, if similar fatuity prevails among them to an upshot of results Most certainly, both in fact and in sentiment, there is no place upon the globe where property is more respected than in Great Britain but there may be daring of consequences, which would submit all to a struggle, and that a more dire one on that very account. So much as to the old Church and King kind of sentiment corn laws, game laws, gagging acts, and all sorts of monopoly but on the other hand, mere Whiggish liberality will be nearly as futile, should it be disposed to risk an encounter with the mighty march of circumstance, or to palter, in a double sense, with the honest convictions of mankind. A real improvement, of representation positive economy in the administration of national expenditure rigid curtailment of that species of office and employment which is created for the support of corruption and sinister influence, and which, if ever theoretically defensible under any circumstances, becomes insulting and absurd when a great portion of the community are pressed upon the very limits of possible existence, with a courtier-like shrug and exclamation, that the thing indeed is pitiable, but being incurable, must be borne while the lordling national charity children are to be paid snd misemployed as heretofore. 'So much for general position opinions.

Stepping down to mere routine, all sorts of rumours are afloat in respect to the sort of Ministry about to be chosen. Earl Grey is ajjofees of as the selected Premier, but some doubts are entertained of his attractive qualifications, even among the Whig themselves. At all events, he Is not the man on whom much popular hope is founded. At this present writing all Is at sixes and sevens, but before we go to press, it at possible that we may be enabled to supply something like a hut, although it is by no means certain. The latest news from London is, that Lord Grey finds difficulties, as respects purely Whig selection, and that so strong an exhibition of parliamentary esteem has been manifested towards Sir Robert Peel, great exertions will bo made to retain him in office.

Speaking without reference to abstract principles, and theories, and in pure reference to official ability rectitude, telen let regie, we think the sentiment correct. Under no probable arrangement shall we possess a more able or effective domestic minister, divorced from bigoted High Church as he now is. As respects the Duke (always snppos-ing the same regime), let him become Commander-in-Chief if he wiu.

Lord Anglesey ha certainly been offered the Lord Lieutenancy of Ireland, and nothing could be better. On the supposition of a leaven of Toryism in the new set the Duke of Richmond is spoken of for office, who even has admitted some necessity for parliamentary reform. We also learn of postibU returns to office, in conjunction with Wbiggismtoo, of the very antipodes of liberaUty in all its ramification. But enough on points which must be soon decided, and in respect to which the. general march of nind sod circumstance can be very, littie retarded, 1 fest itself near Stafford, a stack or barn on the estate of a gentleman of this county, having been set on Are a night or two ago.
