IHR IXPRB3S, SATURDAY WINING, AUGUR? 28, 1858. SKETCHES OF LONDON ACTORS. MISS CUSHMAN. Bowe tee or sloven yeses --- ago, i; the rides days Shea George Hudson wee Ring, and everybody was making fabulous foetuses in the mad lottery of scrip and premium, ai Asterism actress appeared at the Priscese's Theatre, then nods the manernamit of Mr. Maddox, whose obarasteriedse were so marked and peculiar se at onto to divide the world of theatri cal criticism into two sakes parties of "pre*" sod "cons." The "..as • were prissipally to be found moor the devoted followers of the mai bent tragedies who at that time held "move• reign sway sad masterdom • in the higher regions of dramatic art, and of whom it was currently said, with what degree of troth we care sot now to 'squire, that as he " bore no brother sear the throeo." he was not disposed to regard without jealoosy the rival claims of a sister potentate. This school of cables at once pronounced it impossible that a Transa , lantie lady without a profile, end not with out a certain drip of Americaoism in speech and gesture, should ever succeed in establishing for her self a permanent position amongst the queens of British tragedy. The opposite party, admitting at once the want of outline, and the presence of • scarcely perceptible intonation not strictly of British origin, maintained nevertheless that the possession of a splendid pair of eyes, an infinitely mobil* physiog nomy and a commaeding figure, more than made amends for any of those defects in physique on which the adverse orifice relied; while as to the more intel lects.' portion of the lady's acting, they rested their ease triumphantly on a sustained force and energy of passion, a depth of pathos, and an overpowering in tensity of natural emotion, which caused all miner defeats to be forgotten and took fest bold of die sympathy and admiration of those who went to witness those remarkable performances, not indeed in the spirit of ingesioas detraction but of intelli gent appreciatioe. The public ranged themselves on the side of the more favourable 'nirvana. The Bianca, the Mrs Haller, the Emilia, and the ec Lady Mheth of the gifted stranger drew thronged au& 'aces and predated a oontinually increasing sensation. It was not, however, till Miss Cushman left the Princess's for the Haymarket, and appeared at the latter hoses is the character of Romeo, with her sister, Miss Boma Cushman, es Juliet, that her plate as an actress of drat-rite gads was firmly sod difinitivaly find.

This impassiosed spirit from the Jong weeteen world had Realised in all its intensity, and all its teeth, that vision of love which to the old world of bad grown to be little more than the d' extravagance of a post's dream. The Rowse of Kies Cushman was no drram, bat a reality. We saw him smitten by that great passion as with a anostroks : never after Juliet had risen on him was the devoted Montages aught but the minion of love, the thrall of fate. How absolutely was all seam of the performer's sex merged in the alreorbing interest of the performance. What an elastic vigour of fresh manhood in the tread! what an exuberant* of high-hearted energy in every tone and eery gesture! And when the asap comes, and the morrow—when the shadows of doom begin to descend—how is it still the lovestriekes man, sot the basilisk woman, wham heart anguish is laid bare before us. When in impotent. of despair the banished Montague dings himself full booth on the earth," taking the mesas of an nem& grave," it is no woman passion that stealers him in the throes of that marts' agony. In the iaterview with the Apothecary, what con strained and manly eadnese—in the heart.harrowieg scenes that follow, what a stands' of life, what a terrible self-surrender to death! are, we know, people whose cionveationd sentiments of propriety are apt to take cities at the nodes of snob an impersonsties Oy a wumae, has +villein the ewe of our ewa expertise. we never met with one ea whales orbital judgment we said rely who, having ppaat theory to petrel, by gang to witness this extrassdiiaey perfermeoes. did net eine away with a firm mievistien that in the Ilenteed Miss Cashman he had whammed ens of the met entirely pleasing as well sewer the nest innintably powerful pre• seamen §of • Shannon chariot., which it has Vallee to the let of the existing generation to enjoy.

(non ova owa PARIS, FILISAT Evarnre! The annual Boaapartist dinner of the society of the 10111 of December, came off the day before yesterday, at Hollot's restaurant, areas the Barrier. du Resale. IL lieheontet, who, se usual, was the principal spokes men, revealed the feet that the famous stet of Bor deans, L' Empire eget is Pais, wee not, an most pro- ph must have supposed, the expression of the Beeperee's ripped judgment founded upon a consi deration of the political situation of Europe in 1812, bet that it wane mere repetition of what Louis Napo hon had ones confidentially told M. Belasontet when walking arm-hparns with him twenty-three years ago. la 1833, a short time after the death of the Duke de Beichstadt, the young prince, Louis Napoleon, was invited to a little town in the Duchy of Baden on the lower lake of Constance, and nearly oppoeite to the Chkteau of Are ee m b e rg . There, in Rodolhsell—that is the name of the little town—uoret emissaries from several sovereigns were, according to IL Benzoate, sent foe the purpose of learning the real political opinions of the son of Hortense. M. Behoontet had the honour to accompany the penes in a "little boat with a single waterman," bet which frail bark =fled " Cesar and bis terbium." In returning, the prince confided to M. Belmostet that the sou* reigns of the north of Europe. feeling distrustful of the duration of Lou's Philippe's power, and "doubt. leek" foreseeing the timetable revival of the empire, were anxious to know what Louis Napoleon's ideas were, and that be had told them that the reestab lishment of the empire could not but consolidate friendly relations between France and the powers 'of Europe! that. having received then baptism of glory," Frau, had now only to fructify the Institutions created or strengthened by the Emperor, sad to improve her materiel and moral position—in a word, that rEnspire itail la pais, but " • peace great, solid, and durable, by lesion of its own strength." After this curious ir velatioa, M. Delineate concluded a very florid pee* gyrio oo the Emperor, by asserting that if Napoleon the First had lived he weed have extinguished pauperism in "his giant arms," and that in all ha ste probability it was reserved for his snooessor, Napoleon lIL, to complete the work and put as end to misery. " Chatlemegoe mould only shed tears when he looked towards the north and thought of the castinaal invasion of the barbarians. But the modern Charlemagne, struggling with the present public enemy (pauperism seibeedder) will not confine himself to idle lainsatatione—be will moque.' M. Belgrade therefore proposed the health of "Napo leon, the born opposeat of the public calamities." I think this a fitting @cession I. refer to • 'abject which has been the town talk of political circle in Paris this week, and to which, bet for such an oppor tunity, I should have herniated to allude. Two stately leading articles from the pen of M. Oranier de Cassague have lately appeared in the Constitugionsel with the beading "The Demon of Socrates," in which it is sought to be proved that Socrates really believed is an attendant demos, bat that he was not therefore mad, but only " hallucinated.* When I first read these articles, I had no other thought than that the writer, being lace many other journalists at the present time, hard driven for a subject, bed merely chosen Socrates sea vacation topic on which to hug a display of learning and ingenuity. But I find • very general indisposition to believe that the principal political writer in the leading go vernment journal can have broached this theme with out some practical object. It is seriously said is many quarter. time U *lactate', dad a demon, modern great men may have • demon too, sad that it is well to prepare the public mind to receive • distinction between what secede and septic, would call mad ness and that ecstatic state of the intellect which is in reality to be attributed to the agency of a good angel.

The French minister at the court of Sardinia, M. le Duo de Orammoot, wee invited to the banquet given by the Italian veterans of Napoleon's grand. armee at Turin, on the 15th of August, and he replied to the invitation, saying: —'• I used not express to you the feelings of sympathy with which I have received your communication. After having most worthily served the Empire, the noble remnant of these valiant legions have always, and every where, continued to exhibit a fair pattern of the same virtues and the same great qualities which made them illustrious on the field of battle. France, which has counted them among her own children, preserves the remembrance of these brave warriors; and the Minister of Napoleon 111., who is proud to have this opportunity of consecrating such a remem brance, now salutes them as brothers, in the name of the Emperor and of his fellow-countrymen." The tracing out of the new fortifloations of Ales marls, it appears, from a letter of the 19th, written at that place, has already been completed. The new works will consist of the reconstruction of the enceinte, which the Anetrians destroyed after the treaty of 1815. On the morning of the 19th, a bat talion of sappers commenced the execution of these works, to the left of the gate of Marengo. All the infantry troops, and the garrison of Alessandrie, will assist in turn, successive bettalia being detached every day foe that service. (We refer to the brief sketch of the history and position of the fortress of Ales. sandria, which will be found below.) The Union. of last Monday, after acknowledging the suggestion which appeared in the Daily News and Express a fortnight ago, that a subscription should be started in England to augment the fund which the Italians are voluntarily contributing for the armament of Alessandria, goes on to say : Whilst we think the geglish for this anelieststion of their sympathy with Piedmont sad with Italy, we bog the Delp N.les to make brown, with each coneseate as it may think di, ore monstrous tact.

Some remuks were made in a letter from Turin by our Italian commirioser, about the end of July, upon the anti-natioasl conduct of the eirmosits, (which is the organ of the Jesuits sod ultramontane priesthood) as a strange ezosption to the other journal, of Tarim; and he seems to have then anti cipated the observations to which the Unions would now direct our attention. ROMAN STATES. The example wet by the municipal council' of Ravenna and Bologna, in protesting against the continuance of the Austrian occupation, and in de mewing the execution of the municipal law of 1860. has had the effect, as we learn from an Ancona letter of the 12th, of exciting a spirit of emulation in the other tows. of the Papal States; but the provincial administrative commission of Ancona, it is now stated, did something very similar so long ago as last June. At that time, the central government having addressed a circular to all the local aithori• ties requesting them to devise some plans for the improvement of the finances of the communes, which were much embarrassed by the expenses entailed upon them through the Austrian occupation, the Ancona council, or commission, replied with a declaration that la the opinion of its members, in order to bring the finances into order, it wee necessary that the foreign military occupation shoeld be terminated, and the municipal law of 1830 be put in operation. No response was given to this declaration when it was eon to Rome, and a great deal of trouble hai l since been token by the government to eanceal its purport; bat now the secret can be kept no longer.

The French army, commanded by Napoleon, at that time First Consul of the Republic, regained posseuion of it in the early part of Jane, 1800, shortly after the memorable battle of liesenvo. Napoleon, wishing to make Alessaadria the buiwuk of bis conquests in Italy, ordered the engineer generals, Muskat and Chasseloop (from whose joint report we have extracted the details given ) to carry out the plan be bad com menicated to them f r the attainment of this i.tject. Our limited apses does not pi resit us to describe this piss, beyond stating briefly that it wee the application on it e most com plete and extensive scale of all the latest lulu vements made In the art of defence. Nearly 30 millions of francs wets 'speeded in treating this impregnable eiroephold,ll2 that it might receive an army in case of defeat between the Alp end the Appenines, to thispat of the basin of the Po, where signal battles almost invariably decided the fate of these beautiful districti. Bat fortune abandooed the arm, of the great certain, and the Austrians, on sgein becoming the kids of Icily, caused this monument of her power to be destroyed, without in quiries into the 1 os-ibls utility of these v, ty works, con structed by French engineers, for the eventual defence of Piedmont sad even Italy herself spinet France. At the pretest day, it certainly is not the inteetion of the Piedmostess government to reconstruct the gigantic works of Napoleon I The works lately decreed will merely, if we are correctly informed, sum- and the city with a wall aid bastion., to which will be added four de tached forts placed—cne on the Bonnida near its con tinence, another to the Tanaro behind the Valencia work', sad the remelt:dog too on the s)uth sad south east of this town.

This same Hussein Paella waa the chief of the staff at Kars under Shukri Pacha, and wee sent away by General Williams for drunken ness and debauchery, and now that General Williams has left they send him back honourably. The crops in the pains in this neighbourhood are almost entirely destroyed by drought; in very many instances the wheat is dried op and withered before it has come into S.C. The troops here are almost nil. There are 1,300 to &moon and 1,500 at Haman lialeh (distant six hours). A new army will have to be raised. Oa the Bth of July a party from E•zeroom, con- sisting of Major Stuart, Dr. Fraser (late assistant surgeon in the 73rd Regiar nt), Mr. John Evans (late 6th Inniektlling Dragoons), together with two fteglish travellers, Mr. Theobeld and Rev.— Thereby, arrived at Byard, with the full determination to reach the summit of Monet Ararat—a teat which had yet been accomplished, although frequently attempted by English, French, Reuters, Persian; Turks, &c. On the 10th of July, having made all necessary . preptuations, the party proceeded from Byszid, in company with a Koordish chief named lseak Begh, to some Koordish tents situated on the rocky ridge which connects the two mountains at an elevatioa of 8,000 feet, the Great r and the Leaser Ararat,the former being about 17,320 feet high, and the latter about 13,000. At dawn of day the next morning, Major Scan, Mr. John Evans, and Mr. Theobeld, started together on foot by the nearest route to the cone of the mountain, distant about six or seven miles. Dr. Fraser started on horseback towards another part of the mountain which ap peared hem precipitous ; the party on foot reached the snow at the foot of the cone at about 620 a.m., and commenced the ascent up an unbroken slope of snow, which extended to the very summit. After baring proceeded nearly half way Major Stuart began to appear fatigued, and was obliged to stop frequently to rest. Mr. Evans remained with hint until he (Major Stuart) resolved to return to the tents. Mr. Evans then proceeded up the mountain, Mr. Theobald being considerably in advice*. Mr. Theobald reached the summit at about 1 30 p.m.; Mr. Evans arrived one hour later; and some time after they had lett the summit Dr. Fraser was seen to appear over the brow of the mountain, at a distance of about an hoar from the commit. Mr. Theobald and Mr. Evans reached the Koordish tent at 6.30 p.m., amidst the exclamations of the Koordish men and women who bad seen us at the summit, and who exclaimed, " ?dashallah, Clod is great; the English can do everything ;" then enumerating the people who had failed, and the number of days and weeks they bad spent in making the attempt. They added that the English come aid say they will go to the top of the mountain, and they go straight op at once, and 01X011 back in the evening without any difficulty. Major Stuart and Mr. Thereby succeeded in making the ascent two days latex, by sleeping half way up the cioae and completing the ascent the next morning. The summit of the mountain is entirely covered with snow ; ridges of volcanic rock rue up the sides of the mountain to within a few hundred feet of the summit. The party aid not suffer from the rare faction of the air, or experience any difficulty in breathing at the summit ; but the cold was intense, owing to the wind, which blew a perfect hurricane. A wooden cross was found bv Major Stuart and Mr. Thereby about 1,500 or 2,000 feet below the summit, plaid there by Abich, • Russian traveller, to point at the height to which he had ascended, and which was the highest point reached by any traveller. By the side of the cross was a large knife or dagger, about two feet long, which Major Stuart carried to the summit, where it now stands. Before leaving the Koordish tents, Major Stuart, Mr. Evans, and Mr. Theobald also ascended t he lessee Ararat. The ascent of the greater Ararat has hada wonderful effect in keeping up the presage of tha English among the Turks. AUSTRIA.

Tan attitude of hostility maintained by Austria towards the Liberal Governments of Europe appears to have embraced, during the last few months, every alemint of religious and political antagonism. It has become daily more and more the policy of that Power to combine the worst energies of physical repression with the last elate of spiritual bondage. The intelligence that has reached us from time to time indicates that the court of Vienna, after waver ing totween a prosecution of the policy to which it bad stood committed by the terms of the Aintree. Papal Concordat, and a return to the former liberalism of its religious system, has determined vigorously to' follow up the disastrous conditions of the &oafish alliance. This desperate resolve now completes the political and social opposition between Amelia and that modified Italian Liberalism which is represented by the Sardinian constitution. AU these iodisation seem to demonstrate that the breach between the Government and the people both in Austria and in the metes immediately associated with her has beeline irreparable. And mow that a new Oasis of the domestic politics of the Court of Vienna has been defisitively formed, it may be well to consider in what manner the general relations of the Austrian question have been shifted by the action of the Con oordlit. It is difficult adequately to appreciate the impetus which appears to have bees given to the principle of insarreatioe io the Austrian dominion by this con tinued and violent abrogation of the traditiccary policy of 300 years. Nothing, indeed, i.e more fully illustrate the troth that, in the mint disturb sects of those territories, the revolutionary move meat hes been on the aide of the Govenseset sad set on that of the people, than the direst coatraven ties which the Connedat involves of the prescriptive system of Austria. That ciocumeent. Indeed, is so complete a violation, either I. spirit or in actual terms, of every treaty sad charter to whin the Court of Victims hos stood pledged aloes the period of the Reformation, that it is but lately that we have ben forced to believe it to have been designed for any thing care than a dead letter. Braotly three centuries had elapsed mina the sir wore of the Religious Peace of Aspberg, in 1666, when the Asstrias Conordat was promulgated, daring the lest autumn, to the estaelehmeat of Europe. That treaty, confiratiog and salargisi the senior stipolati tee of the Treaty of Penn (1662), conferred as &ninth equality of religions rights oa the Catholics, and on the followers of the Castings of Augsburg. This principle of quality was after words *attend to the whole ses•Catholie body by the Treaties of Westphalia, whisk eland the Thirty Tears' War, in 11348, and conitate at this hour the ben of the Weil and religion rights paraateed trader the Ast of the existing Germania Cow teientioo. It is obvious, therefore, that tke ispediatioe of former entreats to whin this bathing Government persists in adhering, in nitres a breach of the modifies§ whisk had been directly integrated into the Germain Cow hderstion itself. We give prosaism* to these fasts, because they are essential to a right conepdon of the nature of the entertain to which the Austrian Court appears at length to be mismitting itself in earnest, with the tradineary social pomessions of Iti subjects. And it happens that very nailer mil. gins relation to those which were meaawhile math tallied, in virtue of the connote to whisk we have referred, with GIONISS Austria, were malataind with Beggary. If, thee, the polities' despotism of the Government had siagly bagasse intolerable is the last Earopsea entbren, what shunter net it OMEN sow that it is pernmantly allied to a reli giose despotism f If this I. does is a green tree, what shall be does is the dry f The great safeguard by whisk the political despot ism of Austria bee bees mo long maintained has rested is the oombinatioe of its Protestant polity wit► Its Catholic theology. Although different religions have ben not ally reesgaised, bat mestalgished • (to use a con voodoos' term of our owe) by the Austrian Government, the Roman Oatliolis has retained the character of tbe religion of the stets. Tot, is spite of this theoretical saperionty,the EaLq aid sot the POTS, hes bees perpetually recognised se the Used of the Chan within the Austrian dominion. This proviein, which in itself rendered eves the Catholic Ana I. Austria as mesh Protestant me Roseau, superseded the jurisdiction of Papal Legates end the authority of Papal Balls, sad formed a basis for the effectual remake and demarcation of the rights of the annually dmaktant Oa this basis the astateiprodeesseors of these short sighted Minton now I. Ales at Vienna raised their soperstrestare is a libel. of political despotism net- 1 ing upon a fabric of social liberty. They needed, duet to the area-Catholic ememinities withla the Austrian dominions, the privilege of a practical quality in religiose rights, them emceeing them at awe the immediate privilege of religious freedom, sad the indirect bruit of social freedoms nimbi from a restriction of the Rosish Church in its efforts to suppress intelligens sad Wenn. They conceded, secondly, to the ()dhotis population Itself the guarantee of the sena liberty of the laity as against the priests. When menritim see► as then, sleeting the every-day His of the whole people, /saint the egression of these armed them, were once identified with the goveraisi pewter, it woe oli vine that a metals degree of legishitive despotkes would be cheerfully sinned This, is a weed, woe the whole meet of Primo Mrrrismat's meow Lot as on how directly opposite us the relations of the governed tad the penis( powers at this soomost, yaks the torso of the Cooocodat slow, It is am that sotking sea be tors false this u. sovietise whit* has frossatly hos satastalssil. that this UMW, is salsalatei to Non that asset dominion et tbs Hoses el Aurrata vlidt MI hos kid is tho resist revolutions, by reslosisi this dynasty is its onkel positise is the goat GOAD Peewit every area it the Austrian dominions snaps his Gagers at the Popish religion. The Concordat was of merge isetitoted upon this superficial hypothesis, that aa then were more Catholics than Greeks or Protestants combined, in the Austrian dominions, there would be a greater camber appeased than disaffected by its imposition. Eves if this were true, there wee every probability that the positive disaffection of the few would imply outweigh the negative satisfaction of the many. Bat the tact was, se we have already shown, that the Concordat iejoriosaly affected the whole population, inasmuch as it trampled with equal violence on the social freedom of all. Religion had so little internee is any part of the ashen's, that the Concordat became merely a piece of State machinery, by which the social despotism of the Papal Church was incorporated into the politioal despotism of the Civil Government. Here, then, is the issue of the whole question between repression and revolution in the Booth of Europe. The Austrian court has placed itself in the position of an indiffereat swimmer aught is the graap of a sinking man ; for it lee now identified itself with a cause more desperate and men hopeless than its own. The news of every day points to the imminence of a fearful social revolution is the heart of Italy. The character of such a straggle will be rather anti-seeerdotal than anti-moauo►iat, because the priesthood is the mcnspring of the whole system of Italian despotism. The association of this despo- tism with that of Austria is now complete, and the court of Vienna, linked to the fortunes of the Papacy, will vainly attempt to stem the advancing tide of domestic revolution.
