This theatre re-opened for a short extra season on Saturday night, under the management of Mr. Edward Hastings, with a drama in three acts by Mr. C. S Chcltnam, called Six Ytdrg ,Orr, or the Ticlat-”f-Learn Mun's Wife. The play, as its title Implies, is founded on the popular Anglo-French drams, The Ticket of-Leave Min, being in some sort a continuation of the story by the same familiar characters. With the exception of Mr. Neville, Mr. Horace Wigsm, and Miss Stephens, moat of the actors and actresses associated with this successful play appear again in the parts they have rendered famous, and the experiment has, therefore, only that chance of ill-luck which has been too frequently the common lot of "continuations," from Dun Ovizote to the Beggar's Uperrt.

THE NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND ITALY. (orrlcut..) FLORENCE, AUGUST 6. Yesterday a General officer of the Italian army had an interview at Cormons with an Aukrian General officer to negotiate for an armistice. Some 'difficulties which arose during the conference pre vented the armistice from being concluded yes terday. PARIS, AUGUKT 6. Tho Efeadard of this evening says :—" In the negotiations with Italy, Austria has laid down as a first condition the evacuation by the Italians of ail Austrian territory not belonging to the Venetian provinces ; Austria will not sign an armistice until this stipulation is carried out." THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS. B/IRLIN, Accusr 6. The Chamber of Deputies hell its first sitting to-day. The session was inaugurated by General Stavenhage, senior member of the house, who deli vered the opening speech, in which he declared that the deputies were ready to co-operate in permanently securing the greatness and liberty of both Prussia and Germany. Thanks to the resolute conduct of the government, the skilful leadership of the army and bravery of the troops, the enemy, had been vanquished, and their heroic King had advanced to within a short dis tance of Vienna in the apace of a few weeks. General Stavenhage called upon the deputies to express their gratitude by rising from their seats, , and concluded by giving three cheers for the King. Count Stulberg has been elected President of the Upper House. AMERICA. (Per the City of Paris, rid Roche's Point.) NEW YORK, JULY 27, EVIINING. The report of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs recommends a revision of the neutrality laws, and declares that England has given America no cause to respect her sense of justice or regard for right. It also expresses strong sympathy for the Fenians. The committee reported a bill which the House of Representatives passed mm nimously, repealing the stringent provisions of the neutrality laws, and modifying the penalties for their violation. The bill provides that the law shall not be construed so as to prevent the sale of American ships and steamers, and war ammunition, to the inhabitants of other countries or governments not at war with the United States ; and repeals the acts requiring the owners and consignees of armed vessels departing from Ame rica to give bonds for good conduct ; and the act commanding collectors of customs to seize and de tain vessels whenever they shall have cause to sus pect they intend acts of hostility against other governments. Numerous prominent Fenians were on the floor watching the passing of the Bill. A communication from Mr. Seward was read to the House, stating that the representation desired by the House concerning the Fenian prisoners will be made to the British government. Mr. Seward quoted a letter from himself to Sir Frederick Bruce, in June last, in which he expresssed the hope that the customary administrative law would be tempered with special forbearance and cle mency by the Canadian authorities.

Petroleum dull ; crude, 23 ; refined, 394. We have known for some time past that we were about to have a forced loan. At last the Finance Minister has completed his plans, and the decree is published. The amount to be raised is 350 millions. All who are liable to income tax will be forced to contribute ; and; as fat as I can understand, the sum required will amount to about seven times each tax-payer's annual income tat, which is (nominally) ten per cent. As far as I can understand I say, but I premise that that is not very far—an ignorance which I am emboldened to confess from a very :competent person in such matters having' declared in my hearing that he could understand nothing of the minister's plan from reading the scheme as set forth in the published decree. This document, together with the minister's report to the Regent on the subject, occupies six columna of the Nagiune. It is pro fessed that the entire loan will be repaid intliirtessi years. The loan is to bear interest at six par cent., of which five are to be paid in the usual away, •as interest, and one per cent. is to go to a fund fur making a lottery, to be drawn for •by all the contributors. It is impossible to stigmatise too severely this stupid and im moral puerility. When every enlightened man is deeply impressed with the imperious I necessity of weaning the Italian populations froth • their unhappy passion for this species of gambling, the Finance Minister, who, above all others, Ought to be aware of all the abominations arising from, and of the deplorable impediment it causes in the way of social and moral improvement—the Finance Minister goes out of his way to devise this new and uncalled-for stimulus to the evil. I do not think that any great degree of discon tent will be occasioned by this measure. Had the war been conducted otherwise than it has been there would Lave been no discontent at all. Every man would have paid that or more with cheerfuL ness and alacrity. As it is, the small annoyance which this call on the purses will oceasitm will be overriden and lost sight of in the far deeper anger and discontent which pervade the entire nation on account of the results of the Italian battles both by sea and land, and of the political consequences which are likely to arise therefrom. The state of national feeling is becoming very perceptibly worse, as the masses have time to :le lquire a real knowledge of what has been done and i left undone. And it will be worse when it is found that no punishment falls on any of those whir have, either by stupidity, by carelessness, by incompetency, or by subserviency, betrayed their country, as a result of the inquiries which have been ordered. Fur such will be the case. There is, lam well persuaded, no political man in Italy who has sufficient mural courage to visit any of i these culprits with such punishment as would not lonly have the effect of calming in sonic measure the public mind, but would be of inestimable use as a lesson and example to the governing classes here. I Such a lesson is terribly needed. But it will not be given. - - . The conduct of France and of Frenchmen in the matter of the cession of Venetia has profoundly irritated and mortified the Italians. Tho cmusent of the French Emperor to receive Venetia at the hands of Austria, his eager readiness to do so, the tone of the French newspapers on the subject, and ' the quiet way in which it was taken for granted by the rest of the world that of course the halian a would acquiesce in such an arrangement, has very deeply and painfully wounded the national susceptibility. There was gnashing of teeth and knitting of brows the other day when we read that there were many French offi cers in Venice ostentatiously exhibiting every possible sign of good-fellowship and cordial friend ship with the Austrians. Louis Napoleon, it is said, dreads the distant roar of revolution, as a bull is maddened with panic at the sight of a red rag. If he would avoid the chance of a visitation from the dangerous spectre, he would do well to avoid, as far as is in his power, causing further irritation to this people. Tans QUARANTINE AT MALTA.--ODE Malta cor respondent writing on the let August says :—" In conse quence of the appearance of the cholera at Southampton, a quarantine of fifteen full days was established here last week on all vessels arriving from Southampton. This has now been extended to vessels from every other British port, owing to the spread of the disease to other parts of the United Kingdom. A government notice to this effect was issued yesterday. It is apparent that the local go vernment are adopting ray rigorous sanitary measures in view of the panic fear that has seized the inhabitants, lest the cholera should make its reappearance in this island. Although the imposition of a long term of quarantine seriously affects commercial interests, and is a great blow to many individuals who deal with the passengers passing through Malta on their way to India from England, it has, however, given great satisfaction to the Maltese, who still remember the ravages committed amongst them by the disease last year. 'The sanitary authorities have issued quarantine regulations, which are to be rigorously enforced ; and have given strict orders that care should be taken as to the anchorage of verses in quarantine, and that, if any great number of passengers arrive from in fected countries, information should be at once sent to the government before landing than, in the event of the Lazzaretto being overcrowded. There is no doubt that the ' government have done everything in their power to pm. toot the public health, end certainly if the cholera ahonld again reappear in Malta this year, the authorities will be free from the charge of apathy or neglect."

Nevertheless the private suffering in connexion with the failure of the Agra Bank is very great, and it is thought that the realisation of the bank's claims in indigo and other estates will be a protracted and difficult business. In Madras, beyond the private losses caused by the failure of the Agra, there is nothing to report. The stream of bullion that has during many years past steadily flowed freest Europe to Asia has at last turned its current ; but it is gold that flows westward. The Peninsular and Oriental mail steamer Carnatic, which left Bombay with the pre sent mail, took out 81,5001. in sovereigns.

A telegram from Madras, dated July 2, states that a serious outbreak of cholera has occurred at Kurnool. Several government officials had died from its effects. The regimental lines were nearly free from the disease, which, however, still pre vailed in the town. Cholera and epidemic fever prevail among the hill tribes of the north-eastern frontier, and deaths are very numerous. The rinderpeat in a virulent form has broken out amongthe government cattle at Bangalore. The court-martial on Captain Jervis, whose die pute with the Commander-in-Chief, Sir William Mansfield, is attracting a great deal of attention in India, began to sit on the 29th of June, at Simla. Long reports are published in the Bombay papers, but the case was not concluded at the departure of the mail. • RESIGNATION OF ALDERMAN ILECHL Yesterday a Court of Aldermen, specially con vened, was held at Guildhall fur the purpose of receiving a communication made to the Lord Mayor by Mr. John Joseph Mechi, surrendering the office of alderman for the ward of Lime-street. Among the aldermen present were the following :—The Lord Mayor, Alderman Sr John Mus grove, Bart., Mr. Alderman Salomous, M.P., Mr. Alder man }lnnis, Mr. Alderman ROW, Mr. Alderman Law rence, M.P., Mr. Alderman Allen, Mr. Alderman J. C. Lawrence, Mr. Alderman Lesley, Mr. Alderman Weber low, Mr. Alderman Lusk, M.P. Mr. Alderman Stone, and Mr. Alderman and Sheri ff lkibtlens. The TowNeteita read the letter which had been ad dressed to the Lind Mayor by Mr. Alderman Mechi. ex pressing his determination to retire from City honours. Alderman Sir J. Musozove, Bart., said that as the senior alderman present he begged to suggest that this I resignation ought nut to Le received without some expres sion of feeling in the matter by the magistracy of the City of London. He thought his brethren around him would I scarcely desire to do otherwise, having regard to the past services of Mr. Alderman Meehi, who as a public man had done much more than discharge his duties as a magistrate .of this City. In the cause and promotion of agriculture their colleague had done much good, and be (Alderman Musgrove) as an agriculturist himself, felt thankful to him for his publication of very many useful works on that subject. (Hear, hear.) In addition to these claims Mr. Kochi merited their thanks for his services as a magistrate, and the manner in which he had fulfilled his , duties, not only ea an alderman, but as a fellow citizen. I In the belief that these sentiments pervaded the body he now addressed, he should move the adoption o f thel foi -1 lowing resolution : "That this court, in accepting the . resignation of Mr. Alderman Mechi, desire to record on their proceedings, their regret at the causes which have indnced him to adopt the course he has taken, and at the same time to express their acknowledgments of the is variable attention he has devoted to the duties of hie , position as a magistrate and as sheriff of the City and of the county of Middlesex, and also for the courtesy and kindness he has at all times manifested to his brethren." (Loud applatiee.) • Mr. Alderman BALOMMIA, M.P., claimed as the next j senior alderman in attendance to second the resolution just moved by Sir John Musgrove, with whose sentiments on the occasion he entirely concurred. The services of Mr. Alderman Mechi in the cause of agricultutal improve ments had been universally acknowledged, and he (Alder man Selomons) only regretted be had not remained amongst them, in order that, on attaining the chief magistracy, he might as Lord Mayor have received the agricultural body as guests at the Mansion ; house. There could be no doubt that Mr. Mechi had limn a most useful man, not only in the county in which he re sided, but also in the metropolis, where he had honourably discharged many important public duties, and therefore deserved well of this court, of which he had been so long a member. But Mr. Mechi had a further claim upon their recognition of him. He had been seen by them under mast trying circumstances ; but even then no individual had attempted to raise the finger against him as having done anything unworthy of his character as a man of honour. (Hear.) He only retired from a feeling of true delicacy, that should he retain his gown end succeed to the office of Lord Mayor, he could not maintain that cake with that degree of dignity and extent of hospitality which had characterised some of his predecessors in that high posi tion. He was a worthy example as an honourable man, and it was with the greatest pleasure and satisfaction that be (Mr. Alderman Salomon) seconded the resolution. (Applause.) The resolution, which was briefly supported by Mr. Alderman Rose end Mr. Alderman Finn* was carried unanimously. and ordered to be drawn up, signed by the town elect, and forwarded to Mr. Mecbl.

Tae New SUBSTITUTE FOR GENEOWDER. —A highly interesting official report has just been made by Colonel Shaffner of a series of experiments conducted by him at Washington, for demonstrating the use of nitro lean'(which it should be explained is the new and far pre ferable name by which the colonel designates the compound which hen idtbato been called slim-glycerine) in the explosion of mines. The results fully confirm the fact that the explosive qualities of Blinder= are far in advance of gunpowder. Two similar cast-iron pieces, weighing each 300 lbs., had a hole 1 inch in diameter and 15 inches deep bored is them, end were charged one with powder and the other with nitrolewn. The powder discharged through the fuse-vent 3-lithe inch diameter did no injury. The nitroleum tore the iron to pieces, the force extending downward from the bottom of the charge, leaving a cone with its apex at the bottom of the drill-hole. Four musket. barrels were placed in wrought-iron cylinders, two filled with gunpowder, and two filled one-third full with nitre learn. The musket-ls charged with powder were ex plodsd.by simirieity they beret open, tearing the iton to pieces. The explosion of the barrels charged with nitro lowa produced a vexy different effect ; they were flattened, and not so much broken to pieces ; the force was so sudden and greet that after the barrel bad irreeelarly broken up and dews the inis ter rized like relied Plato — area and polished.

Shortly before parade an unusual incident occurred. Two men of the Ist Tower Hamlets Volunteer Artillery, who had been told off for guard, duty, neglected to report them selves, sad on returning they aatsi in an keubonlivate manner. It was rumoured that the men, to save them selves from the consequences of their conduct, had resolved to leave the camp at once, and by the time they had packed their luggage the whole of the camp were ready to escort them out. Every man had a tin pail, a tryingpan, or some similar instrument, and falling its behind the couple who had disgraced themselves, "played" them out. The hubbub thus made by WO men was not a little heightened by the strenuous efforts of the hand to hastily acquire proficiency in the " Rogue's Iluich." At the entraace to the camp the procession was mot by Captain Bl'Kown, the camp adjutant, who stopped the rough music, ordered the batteries back to the muop, and gave the To wel Ham lets mete into the custody of the guard. Colonel Fisher, the commandant, coming up, the aim was reported to him, ' and he ordered the two men to be at once dismissed from the camp. This was carried into execution by' the guard escorting them to the boundaries of the government ground. The firing afterwards commenced, and was con tinned during the day with as much vigour se the rough weather would allow, and in the presence of numerous officers and gentlemen. The curtest was not over when our_pareel was sent off. NORTH-EAST LONDON RLPLER.—OR Saturday last the above regiment under,' eut its annual inspection in Regent's-park. The muster composed eight strong com panies in uniform, in addition to at least !SO recruits, who have joined since midsummer, eel who were still in plain clothes. Colonel Richardseed;ardacr, the honorary colonel, was present, and took, :as be always does, great interest is the success of the day. Colonel Wright, the in specting officer, was received with a gormand salute, and the regiment then marched past, headed by its two bands and its pioneers. The whole corps linked well, and this Stove , meat, am oleo all those that followed, was well and steadily performed. The file-firing was a great improvement oa hut year. At the dome of the inspection Colonel Wright rode into the square, and addressing Colonel Richardson-Gardner, Lieutenant-Colonel Money, and the officers and members of the 6th Tower Hamlet+, mid he was much gratified by what he had seen. In the first place, the corps mustered even stronger than last sear, which was very satisfactory in the second place, the behaviour and movements of the corps were quitent good, andhe should make a vary favour able report to the War-offiee. Ile Mid but two obeervations to make on the other side. Occasionally he had beard the silence of the ranks broken, and this, if coutiputal, would be a serious matter. It ought tube an improvement en last year, but it was not. Again, one men's Mlle had gone off before the word to fire was given. This could sot hap pen if the firelocks were at half-c elc. In ell other reline:to he was satisfied. The officers, or most of them, knew their duty, and the nun-00111MOISOCetell officers and men did the same, end were very steady. The regiment was ably commanded, and ought to be es it was. When Colonel Wright had left Colonel Money congratulated the regi ment on the results ; but said that imtwithstoodiag their increase in numbers over last y, aria inepection he wu not satisfied, and lie should rat fe vatinied till some inspection occurred at which three-fourths of the members were actually present. Colonel Richardson-Oarditer expressed his great satisfaction at what Le had seen, and also his regret that illness prevented the presence of his wife, whose good wishes and deep interest were always with the tarps. Both the colonels offered the thanks of the corps to the officers and members of the led and Bth Tower Hamlets, who had kept the ground admirably. 4TH 1M immix/4Elc (W e'er LONDON) RIPLITILT-OR Saturday evening put the anon .1 inspection of this ,corps by Colonel Wright took place in ;the Regent's-park.

Your appearance Is !mart and soldier like. Your uniform is neat, awl your athontromonta ap pear serviceable. I am glad to find that your numbers have considerably Increased since your last inspection, and that the number of efficients also increases year by year.
