Oluoic. __._ THEATRE. There was, on Saturday evening, a performance of Beethoven's Fidelio ; the finest, on the whole, that we have ever witnessed in this country. Leonora—the most interesting of heroines—was personated by Titiens ; restan by Gardoni, Pizarro by Bentley, Rocco by Rossi; Marcellina by Mdlle. Sinico, and Jacquino by Stagno— a cast of rare completeness, every character being in com petent hands. Since Schroeder Devrient, the original Leonora of the London stage, the part has never had such a representative as Titiens, who not only gives a picture of the faithful devoted wife full of dramatic truth and nature, but in singing the music blends the beauties of the German and the Italian styles as she alone, of all the vocal artists now on the stage, is able to do. Her in comparable delivery of the famous monologue, " 0 tu, cui doloe possenes," has often been the theme of glowing eulogy, and never dae•rved it more than on this occasion. Her zeptarens a:preemie* of lie word., La speme in cot ml seem* No, non ho pie thu.r, seemed absolute inspiration, exciting a burst of sympa. thetic feeling ; and the duet of the re-united pair, " Destin ormai felice," roused similar emotions, if possible with still greater intensity. Titieus was admirably supported by Gardoni, to whom the character of Florestan is per fectly suited in every respect. Throughout the whole of the terrible scene in the dungeon his acting and singing were equally beautiful and pathetic. The part of Pizarro is in souse respects an ungrateful one ; but it demands a performer of the highest powers, and such a representative it had in Santley, whose delivery of the grand air, " Revenge," was full of tragic force and passion. As the kind-hearted gaoler, Rocco, Bossi was everything that could be desired. hhllle. Sinico's pretty acting and singing as Marcellina, and Stagno's light and comic performance of the little part of Jaequino, relieved very agreeably the sombre colouring of the subject. llcethoven's difficult music had been well studied. The fine concerted pieces, in which the action of the principal scenes is carried on, were sung with dramatic freedom and musical precision, and the excellence of the orchestra and chorus en hanced the effect of the whole. We may mention that, instead of the overture in E major, generally used, the overture in C, known as the " overture in Leonora," was performed. There is no doubt that this is the finer of the two ; but we must remember that it was laid aside ty Beethoirn ?dwell, and the overture in E put in its place, as being more fitted for the theatre. It certainly is so ; and therefore, in compliance with the composer's own desire, it ought to be used in the theatre, reserving for the concert-room the longer and more elaborate work, which has almost the magnitude and grandeur of a sym phony. Drama. LYCEUM. Mr. Fcchter revived Hamlet at this house on Saturday night with the same complete and poetical stage accessories and scenery that distinguished its production in May, 1864. Several changes have been made in the cant of character, Miss Carlotta Leclercq taking the place of Miss Kate Terry in Ophelia, and Mr. Addison replacing Mr. Brougham in Polonius. Mr. Addison's read ing of Polonius is the comic Munden reading, and Miss Leclercq's Ophelia has more of the power first exhibited in Lucy Ashton. Mr. Fechter's Hamlet has mellowed and improved, his pronunciation and intonation are now per fect, even in the most passionate scenes, and the whole performance is refined, thoughtful, and unconventional. Liertes was well represented by Mr. Hermann Vezin, Miss Elsworthy played the Queen, Mr. G. Jordan the Ghost, Mr. Emery the King, and Mr. H. Widdicombe the first gravedigger. The house was crowded, and the revival may cause the postponement of the Corsican BrotAers. gins Art's. THE INSTITUTE OF PAINTERS IN WATER COLOURS. This Society open their annual exhibition to-day with a collection not quite so numerous as last year, but on the whole, perhaps a more interesting one as regards the contributions of the younger members. Mr. Warren has a large and important work, "The Judgment of De. borah," and Mr. Louis Haghe two good figure sub jects as well as some admirable examples of his interiors with figures. Mr. Carl Werner has several very minute studios of the Egyptian temples and views upon the Nile. Mr. Vecher also contributes several large drawings of the scenery of the desert and one of the Memnon colossi. Mr. Hine, Mr. Mogford, Mr. D'Egville and Mr. Whymper, amongst the younger members, have all contributed works that show great freshness and originality in landscape, while Mr. W. W. Deane takes a high position as a painter of interiors in a drawing of great excellence of the Sala di Scuds at Venice, showing the famous Tintoretto picture of the Crucifixion. These and other interesting works we leave for the present, with the intention of taking an early opportunity of returning to them.

It is stated that the ministers who have assem bled at Augsburg as representatives from some of the middle States have agreed upon the following points as the conditions upon which the Prussian proposal for the reform of the Federal constitution shall be discussed by the Federal Diet:—The dis armament of both the great German Powers ; the question of the reform of the Federal constitution to be kept distinct from the question of the Duchies ; the question of a reform of the. Federal pact to be discussed before the question of the con vocation of a German parliament. Notwithstanding the telegraphic advice' from Frankfort announcing the peaceful declarations made by the great German Powers at the Federal Diet, to-day's papers assert the present position of affairs to be critical. They affirm that the Austrian government, in its last despatch to Prussia, de manded that the disarmament should be mutual r - and simultaneous. VIENNA, Aram 22, Evarrnw. Unauthenticated war rumours are circulating, and it is asserted that military measures have been ordered by the government. These rumours have created a panic among speculators. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE, Aram 21. In to-day's sitting of the Federal Diet, the pro posal of Prussia for a reform of the Federal con stitution was referred, by a majority of 14, to a special committee of nine members. The Austrian representative made a declaration of a peaceful character. MUNICH, APRIL 22. The Bayerische Zeittoig, in an unofficial portion of its columns, states that there is no longer any dan ger of war breaking out in Germany, as Austria has made a modified proposal for disarmament, which has been accepted by Prussia. DANTZIC, Apsn. 21. A meeting of the Liberal Association of this town was held here yesterday, when resolutions were passed condemning the policy of Prussia. A popular meeting has been held at Erlangen, at which resolutions were adopted against war. BRUSSELS, APRIL 22. The Inclipendana Beige of this evening publishes a telegram from Berlin stating that the Prussian reply to the last Austrian note was despatched to Vienna yesterday evening. According to the same journal this reply declares that the Prussian arma ments which had been caused by the concentration of Austrian troops on the frontiers will cease when the concentrated Austrian forces shall have been broken up. " Prussia will disarm in the same manner and step by step as Austria disarms." AUGSBURG, APRIL 22 (Bynum)). Ministers from nine German states have arrived here to take part in the conference. There have been two sittings to-day, and a third will be held to-morrow. At the first sitting it was unanimously resolved to assist in the work of reforming the Federal constitution. After the meeting had ad journed the Prussian proposals for reform were communicated to the members of the conference, and they thereupon immediately held a second sitting. HUNGARY. PRUE, Aran 22. It is rumoured that the Emperor will appoint four Secretaries of State for Hungary, to whom the departments of Finance, Interior, Public Works, and Commerce will be entrusted. The Emperor will accompany the Empress to Balaton, where her Majesty intends staying for the benefit of her health. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, APRIL 22. Petitions have been presented to the Chamber of Deputies from the inhabitants of the neutral terri tory of Moresnet, in which the latter complain that Prussia is secretly intriguing as in 1815, with the view of appropriating the mines of the Vieilles Montagnes. These petitions have been referred to a special committee, who, it is expected, will make their report without delay. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, APRIL 22. The Minister of Police has resimed. He will be replaced by General Schouvaloff, Governor of the Baltic Provinces. General Mouravieff has been appointed president of the committee of inquiry into the circumstances attending the late attempt upon the life of the Czar. VICTOR/A. (BY OVERLAND TELEGRAPH FROM OALLE.)

SIR HENRY STORKS AND MALTA.—Our readers may perhaps have heard a report of Sir Henry Storks having been appointed to Australia, and felt a pang of re gret at the possibility of there being any truth in the ru mour. We do not pretend to better information than our neighbours ; but, judging simply from s letter received from his excellency by the last Jamaica mail, we are led to hope that the rumour is without foundation. Sir Henry Storks writes :—" Remember me to all my colleagues in the council, and to my friends. I wlah the Maltese to know that I am very grateful for the proofs of sympathy and confidence which they have given me, and my great desire is to be back again among them."—Malta April (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

The cu n rrent week disposes of the last of the great spring the season. handicaps, which is to be decided on Wednesday at the Chester meeting, where handicaps are the staple commo dity provided for the delectation of Mr. Topham's patrons. There are a dozen minor ones already framed, and in the programme before me ; but Tuesday's races will so influ ence those that have to come off on the three following days, and there are many animals engaged so many times, that I hardly know how to deal with them, and s h a l l merely suggest that Fobert, T. Dawson, C. Peck, Wallow, J. Day, Cliff, and Mr. Barber will carry off the urijority between them, Rococo and Locket Lucy in the Chester field, Windham and Exceller in the \Vynnatay, and Isis and Flying Jib in the Eaton Plate, comprising what may turn out the first day's good things, with Thermometer in the Mostyn Stakes. The Chester Cup, two mils and a quarter, will settle the question which of the two Epsom winners is the better three-year-old, Delight or Treasure Trove, and also whether either is "first claw," as they have to meet Mr. l'itt. Honesty, Dawson's Rococo and Czar, and Nutt's, are the only other juveniles that seem to have been seriously thought of ; but Delight, Treasure Trove, and Mr. Pitt are presumed to have only the elder horses to fear, and of these Moulaey, I Lion, Buckfoot, Dalby, Redcap, Sandal, Surrey, Mr. Helen and Fan, and Belgrave, carry the most money. What else may run is hard to tell, Salin, Blithfield, and many other early favourites having done so badly at home that they are deemed quite out of the race, whilst King ' fisher, Miss Harriette, and Planet, areonlydoubtful starters. It is singular that the first, second, and fourth in the last Chester Cup, Why, Buckfout, and Helen, promise to run again, and that they have as favourable weights to carry as ever, though the company to beat is very superior, and if Redcap, Sandal, and Barageh do not prove a better trio I shall be deceived. It will take a rare 3-yr-old to beat them ; and, supposing Delight or Treasure Trove can do for Redcap and Bengali, it will be a great feat. The talents seem to view the race as a St. Albans and Petra affair over again, looking at the short prices taken about Delight and Redcap ; but I cannot believe, even if it is so, that the young one will win Cannon cannot pilot Redcap to victory there is n o faith to on this occasion, great as my respect is for Delight ; and if be placed in trial'. Few other events require any notice, and I shall award the City Members' Plate to King Hal, the Dee Stakes to Mirella or Bertie, the Second Biennial to Prodigal or the dark Manuella, the Stewards' Cup to Treasure Trove, the Bodminton to Lady Hester or Manu ella, and the First Biennial to Mr. Pitt.—l am, &c., METEOR. ITALY. (FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) FLORENCE, APRIL 17. Yesterday the Chambers met for their first sitting after the Easter vacation. The hard work of legislation, however, has not been at a standstill all this time. The committee on the bill for the 1 suppression of the convents has completed its labours, and the chairman presented the report to the house. Signor Ricciardi, with his usual headlong impetuosity, demanded that the re port should be printed instantly, distributed at once to the members, and Thursday next fixed for the discussion of it. The President pointed out to Signor Ricciardi that printing is an opera tion requiring time, and what he demanded was a physical impossibility ; and the hon. member was obliged to be contented with the assurance that what he asked should be done as soon as it was possible for it to be done. The chairman of the committee on the still more important measure destined to regulate the whole system of Italian finance and taxation also an nounced that the labours of the committee were completed. The committee had succeeded in coming to an understanding with the Minister of Finance, but notwithstanding the zeal and diligence of the reporter, Signor Correnti, a few days must vet elapse before the report can be presented to the Chamber. With regard to the agreement between Signor Scialoja and the committee, it is understood that a compromise has been arrived at by mutual con cessions on the subjects in question between them, save on some points of secondary importance, res pecting which it is left to the Chamber to decide. I told you the other day I had grounds for believing that Prussia considers she has satis factorily ascertained that the French Emperor has no present intention of attempting to push for ward the frontier of France to the Rhine ; but that lie was looking with eyes of greed to Belgium. To day the report reached me in a somewhat different form from a very trustworthy source—viz., that Prussia had been endeavouring (with what success remains to be seen) to obtain the consent and sanc tion of France to her own views by proposing to the latter power the absorption of Belgium. To this it was added—and I repeat that the source of my information was such as to merit all atten tion—that Prussia had endeavoured further to tempt France by a suggestion that she should also annex Genoa. If this, indeed, be true—if it ever really entered into the head of the brigand-states man who now wields the power of Prussia, to con template such a piece of treachery at the very moment that he is endeavouring to form an alli ance with Italy—it ought to furnish to the latter power a very serious warning and caution as to the sort of faith and honour she is likely to be treated with by her German friend when the pur poses of the latter shall have been served.

L. SUICIDE BY A LAD.— A youth of 17, named Thomas Lord Webster, residing with his sister at Pudsey, in the West Riding, had on Friday some domestic differ ence, and aubsequently,after making an ineffectual attempt to cut his throat, drowned himself in the mill-dam of Messrs. C`rayshard, of Pudsey. Music AT IiAMBUR(I.—A letter from Hamburg says :—" Like the whole of the German race, the good people of Hamburg love music, and know how to distin guish good from bad. Theresa Titiens, our London favourite, born here of very humble parents, but now ad mitted into the very d it" of society gave a few represen tations here on the boards of the Stsdt Theatre, previous to leaving for England. Although the prices were much higher than usually charged, every seat was taken long before the doors opened, and the whole town and country are still ringing with her praise, al though her place at the theatre is at the present moment disputed by two of Gerniany'e moat cele brated tenors, Messrs. Nieman and Theodor Wachtel. The former, besides being the possessor of a most beautiful voice, is the envied husband of the ce l e brated tragedian, e. Seebaeli, of whom Germany is so justly proud, and who has been tempered by many of our old play-goers to the celebrated Mrs. Siddons. Ilerr Theodor Wachtel you had an opportunity of hearing last summer in Lon don, where he was engaged at Covent Garden, and I well recollect the favourable impression he made on our English public. Nut many years since this gentleman was the driver of a public vehicle here in Hamburg, hot his voice having been heard by some con noisseurs, he was advised to leave the road and take to the boards. He is now one of the German stars, and ' engaged at a great salary at the Hof Theatre, at Berlin, with permission to travel at certain periods of the year to recruit his health and overfill his pockets. The next celebrity expected here is Jenny Lind-Gohlochmidt, for whose arrival great preparations are being made in the musical world. This great songstress has kindly consented to assist at a great fete, which, be ginning on the 31st of next month, is to last three days, and of which Mr. Otto Goldschmidt is to be the conductor. kiandel's Afes4ah is to be sung on the opening night, Madame Lind-Goldochieidt taking the soprano part, the choruses being sung by amateurs under the leadership of M. Stockhausen, who has just returned from St. Petersburg, where he has earned not only golden opinions, but many roubles and ducats, and who on this occasion has himself undertaken the arduous tenor part. On the two successive days Madame Lind-oohlschmitit is to delight the public with some other pieces of her cele brated repertoire not yet fixed upon, with the exception of Hands 's celebrated but seldom executed ode, " Cecelia." Madame Lind-Goldachmidt, who has spent the winter in the south of France, is to sing, previous to her arrival here, at the Dusseldorf festival, fixed to take place about Whitsuntide. Should any of your fair readers in tend to be present there, I would strongly advise an early application for room, as lodgings are already very dear in that usually cheap town, whooe inhabitants, however, now seem determined to reap a golden harvest, and to take ad vantage of this occasion to show their neighbours how much can be got out of a music-loving public. By her mar riage, Jenny Lind has become con nected with some greatly respected families here, and her mother-in-law, Madame Goldechmidt, senior, is not only an authoress of unoponniean.ooreepootte thintedpurcatinciiopneall.m.dateter:sin, but she Frobelis looed move ment, now so widely spread throughout Germany, and so inireerfectly understood in England." CHOLEILA SNIP AT HAIIYAX.—The steamship England, from Liverpool 23th, via Queenstown 29th ult., arrived at Halifax, N.S., yester da y morning for medical assistance, she having cholera on board. The England was bound for New York. She had over twelve hundred par nage= on board. During the voyage one hundred and sixty cases of cholera occurred amongst them. There were fifty deaths. The England was quarantined, but oar news agent at Halifaxobtaiaed the following telegraphic report of tersome difficulty. With regard to the breaking out and pre. valence of cholera on board the England, Captain Grace, her commander, reports from Halifax that on Tuesday, April 3, the first case of cholera occurred, since which time one hundred and sixty more oases have broken out, and fifty deaths have occurred. She was ordered off by the government, but owing to the rapid spread of the disease and the engineers being sick it was found impossible to proceed. She now lies below the lighthouse. Part of the plowmen will be placed on board the lumpiest ship and shanties erected on the beach for the sick. There will be no communication with the ship. The authorities are doing all in their power to relieve the unfortunate pummels. There are three doctors on board to look after the sick. She has twelve hundred and two passen gers sad a crew of one hundred. The passengers are prin cipally Gannon and Irish. The captain thinks the disease was brought an board by the German pseseng.—Nets Feed Herald, April 10. I
