LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 24, 1862, GARIBALDI is again unfurling the Italian Oriflame. His recent appearance at Genoa, after so long a seclusion at Ceprera, inaugurated the other day a more advanced Parliament than the one at Turin—a patriotic House of Represen tatives, over which the Hero of Italy oc cupied the post of President. His passage through Turin afterwards was made, it is true, without ostentation of any kind. An interview was contrived, of course, between the S oldier Liberator and the new Prime Minister of VICT OR EMMANUEL'S Government. It w as an interview , however, entirely sub rasa. And no wonder , hardly, that it should have been so. For there can be little in harmony between the daring Captain- General of the Italian army of Volunteers, and the temporising statesman who has so suddenly suc ceeded to the vacated office of Count CAVOCR'S alter ego, the Baron RICASOLI. No—under the eircumstan 3es—GARIBALDI could have had little to do at Turin, while M. RATTAZZI was still engaged in filling up the list of his new Administration. The Victor of Calatafimi was hastening onwards from Genoa to a very different undertaking than that of comparing notes upon the present situation of the Roman penin sela with the nominee of the Emperor NApoLEON. RATTAZZI might still continue to pay eclelous and courtier like attention to the wishes f hinted curtly, but pointedly, every now and then m the inner Cabinet of Sc Majcste imperiale at the Tuileries. GARIBALDI had other objects in view. And so, promptly enough, instead of tarry ing unnecessarl •ly at the ancient capital of Pied meet—still for the nonce the capital of the new Italian Kingdom, at any rate the Legislative capital of it, the Italian Westminster, or the pro tem. \V ushingtou of the Roman Peninsula—the Leader of the Italians par excellence hastened onwards, without further ado, to the ancient naetropolis of Northern Italy, the chief city of what once was the separate Kingdom of Lombardy. There it is, at M ilan, that within she last few days has taken 1 Ice a aeries of spon taneous and enthusiastic demonstrations on the part of the impressionable Milanese—„ ser ies of we cannot but thi n k , demons t ra tions possessi n g , a pectilier significance. They imply, or we tire vynnckrfuily in error as to our esti melte of GARIBALDis character —the beginning 'ot the end! Before the cries that were raised by the po d p from ulace, and that were echoed back b y the lips, a the heart of GARIBALDI , a re here in any ;."Y npar ticularised, we would first of all direct attention to few circumstances connected with these delnal" "Irations at Milan, such as clearly constitute smile taing more th an a mere accidental coincidence. Let it be observed then, that among the telegrams' flashed to us from Milan in respect to the GaRI BALDI Banquet, there is one which relates, in a few apt words, what was said at that banquet, in his principal speech by General GARIBALDI—in refer ence, not however to the Italians, but to other European races, among the rest the Hungarians. " He recalled," the telegram informs us, " the num ber of foreign martyrs for Italian freedom, and said that it was the duty of Italy to be grateful to the Hungarians, Poles, and other peoples." And then the telegram adds that the gallant leader of the Hungarian Phalanx in the little patriot army of the Garibaldians to wit—General Tunn, " also made a speech, in which he spoke of Italy, whose battles were those of humanity." Now, likewise, in connection with these incidents at the Milan banquet to GARIBALDI, there comes flashing to us, just about the same time through the metallic fibre of the telegraphic cable, this very significant an nouncement :—" The Allianza publishes the pro gramme agreed upon between Kossinri, KLAPKA, and TURK in reference to H un g ar y . Thep rincipal points in this programme being—the establishment of a constitutional kingdom with the exclusion of the Hapsburg dynasty; t he civil equality of all the inhabitants of Hungary, and an offensive and de fensive alliance between Hungary, Servia, Groatia, and Roumelia." And, furtherove note in the number of Galignani but just come to hand, that " The Tri bun° of Turin states that KOSSUTH, KLAPHA,MIROS- Lawsla, HAUG, and other chiefs of the Democratic party of Europe, now at Turin, have had several long interviews with General GARIBALDI!' These interviews of course having immediately preceded the hastening on of GARIBALDI from Turin to Milan, and the outburst of the impassioned demonstra tion at the latter city, particularly at the grand banquet just alluded to. Now, from incidents like these, occurring as they do about the same time, any one, as,the phrase is,with half an eye, can recognise pretty clearly what is meant. And when the watchwords greeting GARIBALDI'S appearance in Milan are, significantly enough, the names simply of Rome ! and Venice ! everyone can perceive at a glance which way things are tending now for the Italian people—in spite of the French EMPEROR, in spite of the new Minister nominated by him, in defiance of every obstacle, visible and invisible, —at the simple appearance, not at the bidding, not at the dictate, but at the simple appear ance of General GARIBALDI ! And when the names of Venice! and Rome ! greet the Patriot Soldier of Italy, in the midst of these impassioned demonstrations of the Milanese, it is not observable in any way that GARIBALDI repressed for one moment the ardour of his hosts—he, in another sense, a host in himself, and they his impetuous and devoted followers ! On the contrary, by his every word and look the Italian Liberator indicates that the Milanese, in articulating those two names, are merely giving utterance to the thoughts upper most in his own heart ! It is observed now again, however, by those cynical depreciators of the Italian movement, who have accorded to it from the first but a sort of left-handed sympathy, that in talk ing for an instant seriously just now of the completion without further delay of the Unification of Italy, GARIBALDI is talking of little better than of a crack-brained and a just simply impossible enterprise. Does it not occur to any one upon the instant, however, that when the Times comments in this way upon what, according to them, ought to be regarded merely as the insane folly of GARIBALDI tL , ps turning his attention for one moment seriously towards either Rome or Venice —that the same depreciatory, almost derisive re marks, were made, not so very long ago, about the exploits then meditated by the same great Adven turer in respect to the liberation, first of all of Sicily and the Sicilians, afterwards of Naples and the Neapolitans ? Yet we all know pretty well how that enterprise was carried out—GARIBALDI chival rously and audaciously setting everything, his life, his reputation, the darling hopes and aspirations of all Italy, boldly and frankly, in spite of all these sneers of depreciation, upon the hazard of a die ! Again, when our contemporary refers to the facility with wfiich GARIBALDI'S Defence of Rome was closed—(notwithstanding pro digies of valour performed by the great Italian Soldier) —and this simply by means of " a very moderate French army"—there seems to be a curi ous forgetfulness of the "time" which really elapsed during which the serried ranks of Republican France, under the banners of OUDINOT, were vainly hammering at the gates of Rome : while GARIBALDI remained there at bay, until, by the sheer lapse of "time" his position became at length desperate. Of this at any rate we may rest perfectly well satis fied, namely, that in what he is now saying and doing GARIBALDI knows perfectly well what he is about. He is evidently conscious among other things not unworthy of being held seriously just now in his v is it a quite it manifestly woola be t o the conscious oaus of e of the e oD m a e r m a e t n i s o e n ' ad e Italy, if (as is now imminently possible), there should spring forth simultaneously with the next, and we maY be tolerably certain the final , rising of th e Italians —Et m agnificent " diversion " becomes visible in the shape of a new Revolution of the Hungarians. The one simple truth just now in regard to Italy is this--that her Wheel of Fortune, not so very long since rolling on smoothly and majestically to the great Goal of her Unifi cation, has by this time gradually got hampered and rigorously bound by the tortuous policy of the French EMPEROR, a policy, at length there woven, in its intricate involutions, into a very Gordian Knot. That Gordian Knot of the Ttalian p01i , 7 of Narnr 'my 111.. the skilled mani pulation of it by CATOUR and RICASOLI successively failed to untie. The time has at length arrived when GARIBALDI, and others with him, not un naturally deem it possible that , a well-timed sweep of his daring sword may sever it ! The English friends of the South, and enemies of " Abolition," aro endeavouring to lessen to the utmost the signification of the startling Message of President LINCOLN. It is indeed easy enough on this side the water to prove that his sugges tion " will not work." Possibly it will not. It may not even be accepted by Congress. The Border States, some or all of them, may be slow to accept it ; yet, after all, it will remain a unique fact in American history. It is now irrevocably recorded that an American President has proposed the abolition of slavery. Not indeed by force — not in violation of the "sovereign rights" of the States—but nevertheless, to use his own phrase, ho has " initiated" emancipation. We have but to look back just a year ago, to re member Mr. LINCOLN'S inauguration, to recal the compromises then propose d in Con g ress, and his own strong leanings to some co ncessions which might avert anything like civil war, in o rder to see how all . changed,Had he suggested then , what he sug gests now, t h e North and North-West w ould have denounced him as an abolitionist. He would have broken with his own supporters, and have brought down on his head a hurricane of Northern as well as Southern w rath. But a year has elapsed , an d we find th e elect of the North proposing both 1 to it and t o the Border States to liberate, by mutual 1 co.operatiori, the Fia,Ves of the latter! He is doing ex dame in its plain grammatical sense. Nothing, moreover, was beforo them but penury, ines, im prisonments, converticle acts, and fivemile acts, with the necessity in many cases of self-banishmmt to the continent to escape the spies and informers cf bishops and cavalier magistrates. We all remember, how on the contrary, the Free Churchmen marcled forth in triumph from what they called " the Lesiduary Assembly ;" how they took their congregations instead or being driven from them ; with them, instead of being fined and how the congregations, imprisoned for going to hear the m, we'e worship as they pleased, and support then n com- I free to i fort ; how, in fine, they were speedily pro Tided with new churches and new manses, instead of being compelled to lead the lives of fugitives End vaga bonds on the face of the earth. We by no means underrate the principle shown in the Scctch move ment; we honour highly all suffering for what the sufferer believes to be truth. We only remark that, as a sacrifice to the sacred cause of Religions Liberty, we never could compare the secession of the Free Church clergy with the ejection of the Two Thousand. bout all the States. it also as the avowed m eans of the gradual change from slavery to freedom t hrong But if we look back still fur ther, we observe offer in this Message a comp lete reversal of the policy of forty years. Every to the South, every purchase-price of peace, h a s been one for the i nterest and slavery. strengthening an in h of the clause in the prom u , much-lauded Cons titution itself—a clause te slave eom by its ultimate working, has almost severed the Union. The Missouri Compromise, and all the admissions of States, have been arranged to pre serve the slave power in a virtual ascendancy. The iniquitous Fugitive Slave Law, and the equally iniquitous decisions of the Supreme Court, have all been sops offered to the South, to aid, abet, and uphold the bondage of the poor Af frican. Mr. LINCOLN himself, though elected to preserve the territories of the States for the free emigrants, yet has been guarded as was BUCHANAN, or any of his predecessors, against implying by anything he said that he wished to free the negroes. Indeed, up to this hour, the grand reason we have all assigned, Cabinet Minis ters as well as private individuals, for feeling no interest in the struggle, was that the American Go vernment steadily refused to show the slightest interest in emancipation, although so obviously its most effective weapon in prosecuting the war. It is impossible not to perceive that the state of the public mind, which we may be assured Mr. LIN_ COLN knows well, inu3t have changed indeed when he can coolly tell the people who are spending millions on the war—that it will be economical to spend yet a few millions more in purchasing the freedom of the Border States 711 -T HEATRES. HER MAJESTY'S. We observe that the body of Dissenters—the Independents—who held the otherwise !expectable meeting of Tuesday night, have nude use of this great historical reminiscence as an occasion for "sending round the hat." This we emnot com mend. If it were necessary to build a hundred or more Independent Chapels, we cculd wish a separate arrangement had been male for that. There am thousands of Englishmen whose religious opinions differ widely enough from those of the Puritans of 1662 and of the modern Independents, who would yet feel a deep interest in the com memoration by suitable intellectual means, such as lectures and public meetings, of the great historical event which is so evidently connected with the religious liberty and equality sentiments of the present day. They would not choose, however, to seem even to participate in a chapel building move ment. It is a kind of desecration of the memory of the event to negroes. As to the practicability of the purchase we do not doubt it. In the' present aspect of things" to which Mr. LINCOLN significantly points, the value of negroes must be very much reduced, and may become almost nothing at all. Then, again, there is a resource in the United States lands, by the sale of which ELIIIII BURRITT has long ago shown that the negroes might be emancipated without severe pressure on the public. Again, the Border States themselves contain a very large proportion of Unionist whites, and altogether almost four times as many whites as slaves, while in the Gulf States, and the planting States the negroes equal or exceed the whites in num bers. The Border States which, with the exception of Virginia, are almost wholly in the hands of Federalists, stood thus at the census or 1860 : " Give to a sect what was meant for mankind." Up to the time of these men clergymen in England had been generally " Vicar's of Bray." With the exception of the leaders, who were not allowed so to escape, from the time when HENRY VIII. founded and fashioned the Church A England ac cording to his royal will and pleasure to the days of the commonwealth, the vast majority of clergy men meekly accepted all the charges backwards and forwards made by successive sovereigns, and this secession of 1662 stands forth as the first in our history of any such act on the part of a large body of the clergy. Notwithstanding a little logical incon sistency, it must be looked back to as the first asser tion on the large scale of those rights of conscience, which, since the days of Dr. JOHNSON, hardly an Englishman has been found to call in question. To commemorate such an act by building a number of sectarian chapels, and that, too, for the sect which had fewest of its number amongst the Two Thousand, seems to us the worst possible religious taste. Whites. Slaves. Maryland .............. 699,846 .. 87,188 Kentucky .............. 930,233 .. 225,490 Tennessee Missouri.... Virginia 1,405,196 .. 490,287 If we compare these figures with those for the more proper South, the difference between com mencing with the half free Border States and their few negroes will be apparent enough. Thus— whites. Slaves, South Carolina has Mississippi Louisiana Alabama 529,164 .. 435,132 Georgia With this very important exception, we have no desire to speak carpingly of the meeting. We acknow ledge that promises to the amount of nearly SIXTY THOUSAND POUNDDS, show that the chapel build ing project is regarded with favour by the body immediately concerned. Its leadera will perhaps think our remarks but little called for, or that if there be some truth in them, that such a subscrip tion amply condones any error of taste in the affair. That, therefore, we leave with them. But we are not sorry to see in a trimming, easy-going age like this, vigorous steps taken to set before us pretty broadly the sterner virtues of our forefathers. Their spirits, if Mr. FORSTER can summon them, will re turn, we fear, answers not very flattering to our self-complacency. These few figures speak volumes. They show that the PRESIDENT well knows what he is about when he speaks to the Border States of purchase, and is content to leave the others to come in when they please. Left to themselves, they would soon have no alternative but to submit. " SPIRIT RAPPING EXTRAORDINARY" might well head a report of a large meeting which was held in St. James's Hall last Tuesday night. Its object was to summons and to catechise the spirits of a very remarkable body of men who were in the flesh just two hundred years ago. They were the class of men who are best known to most of our readers by MACAULAY'S splendid description of the ancient Puritans, whom CARLYLE too has placed in their right position in his well-known life of CROMWELL, and of whom even HUME has written that they kept alive the spark of British Liberty, when otherwise it must have become extinct beneath the civil and reli gious despotism of TUDORS and STUARTS. Of this class nearly two-thousand of the clerical leaders showed that they shared the military courage of the Ironsides, by their act of secession, for con science sake, from the Established Church just 200 years ago. Some of our prayer-books exhibit to us, in full, the act which drove them forth from the Church of the Bishops, the STUARTS, and the Cava liers. There it stands, equally a monument to the Episcopal bigotry and the Nonconforming courage of 1662 ; and, strange to say, passed in such an age and under such circumstances, it has remained un modified either in the harshness of its direct pro visions or in regard to the singularly confused and contradictory book originally appended to it, and construed as a part of the act to which the con forming half of the English nation has continued to adjust its religious opinions and its worship ever since. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Princess Mary honoured the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland by their company at dinner on Thursday, at Stafford House, St. James's. There were present to meet their royal highnesses their Serene High nesses the Prince and Princess of Saxe-Weimar, the Marchioness of Ely, the Earl and Countess of Derby, the Earl Granville, Viscount and Viscountess Enfield, Lord Dufferin, &c. _ _ _ The Duke of Cleveland and Lady Augusta Poulett are expected to arrive in town at the close of the ensuing month from Raby Castle, Durham. . __ _ The Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury are expected at the Countess of Dunmore's residence, on Carlton-terrace, in a few days, frem Savernake, Wilts, where they have been receiving a succession of visitors. Maria Marchioness of Ailesbury has returned to town from a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury, at Savernake Forest, Marlborough. _ _ _ The Marchioness (Dowager) of Lothian and Lady Agnes Kerr have taken a mansion in Audley-square for the season. The Earl of Lonsdale has returned to town from the Isle of Wight in improved health. The Bishop of Oxford attended on Friday at Denham Church, at a confirmation after the restoration of the old church. Mr. and Lady Emily Drummond received the right rev. prelate, the rector, and many of the local clergy and gentry, at dinner at Tile House in the evening. The Baroness de Clifford and family are expected in town at the latter end of the month from Kirby Mallory, Leicestershire, for the season. The Right Hon. B. Disraeli gave a Parliamen tary dinner on Saturday, at his residence, Grosvenor-gate. There were present the Duke of Marlborough, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Dartmouth, Lord Stanley, Hon. C. Trefusis, Right Hon. Spencer Walpole, Sir Edward Kertison, Sir Minto Farquhar, Colonel Cartwright,Colonel Gilpin, Mr. Thomas Baring, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Hartopp, Mr, Benyon, Mr. Bankes Stanhope, Mr. Leader, and Major Edwards. " The Bicentenary of St. Bartholomew," as it seems to be termed, is likely to be a grand sub ject with the Nonconformists this year, though some of the Church organs are denying their right to build the sepulchres of these old nonconforming fathers. It is contended that the Evangelical party in the Church, not out of it, are the hereditary descen dants of the ejected of 1662, The reason assigned is, that the ejected Ministers were Churchmen, that modern Dissenters are opposed to a State Church, and that the Churchmen who hold the same creed as the ejected have most claim to the honour of corn. mcrao. atin g their worth. It is not for us to settle ecclesiastical pedigrees, but taking a layman's broad view of the matter, we do not see how the thousands of Evangelical clergymen who must have subscribed with many qualms of conscience in the very towns which the two thousand were ejected for refusing, can claim either ecclesiastical or moral descent from them. The two thousand of 1662 believed and acted on the supremacy of con science, the evangelicals of the present day accept supremacy of expediency. This indeed may be said of High as well as Low Church clergy, of Broad Churchmen too, as the pleas they put forth must convince all sensible laymen. Probably no clergy men but the Indifferentists ever subscribed the "unfeigned assent and consent" formulary, with out framing to himself some excuse for it. We must think, therefore, that the Nonconformists are the nearest of kin to the redoubtable Two Thousand. And though the latter will thankfully acknowledge that their lot is comparatively summer and sun shine, still, it was won for them by the sufferings of these first confessors. English Nonconformity, in its broad features, undoubtedly runs back in the pages of English history to 1662. We know, in deed, of no historian who takes any other view. We must not compare the ejection of 1662 with the Scotch secession a few years ago. Hardly any of the circumstances which raised the former to the rank of martyrs, or, at least, of confessors, were similar in the two cases. The ejected were then separated all over the country, when fifty miles was a long day's journey, when means of commu nication were 'when concert was impracticable, and when even a great p ar t cou ld not actually ob few, tii i 4 a co py of the book they were required to accept The Atheneum saya:—"Mr. Fechter is pre paring for representation a play of which he is the author, entitled ' The Golden Dagger.' It will be produced at the Princess's Theatre in a few days, Mr. Fechter in the lead- ing part." THE FEDERALISTS AT NASHVILLE.--The follow ing letter, dated Feb. 28, is from a French resident : " This city is in the possession, since a fow days, of the Federal troops, in hot pursuit of the Confederate army, who have left sad traces of their passage through this place and country. Wanton destruction of public property, pillaging of stores, and plundering of farms have marked their re treat or rather flight. My father-in-law, whose plantation as at ono mile distance from the town, has been robbed of his horses, mules, waggons, corn, oats, hay, and even negroes. The latter managed to escape from the hands of the defenders of Southern rights. We are now all under the protection of the so-called abolitionists, and order and security are being restored. These events leave me compa ratively free to regulate my movements. I shall endeavour to leave this place on my return to France in the course of next month." " URGENT PRIVATE BUSINESS."—A circum stance at., se lately in one of the battalions of the Guards ordered to Canada whic.:'2 was near originating a very serious question, in which the privileges of the House of Commons and the maintenance of military discipline might have been brought into antagonism, It appears that Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. Hugh Annesley, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, and M.P. for Cavan, demanded, and as a matter of right obtained, leave from his battalion while it was on its way up to Montreal from St. John, New Brunswick. The battalion was on service, and very arduous and trying service, and leaving it at the moment with a political truce between the two sides of the House of Commons, was not, perhaps, strictly in harmony with the usage of the army. However, standing on his constitutional right as a member of Par liament, Lieutenant-Colonel Annesley took his leave of absence about the time of the meeting of Parliament, for the purpose of attending to his duties as a knight of the shire. But, instead of repairing to Westminster, he seems to have ielded to the attractions which the locality holds forth to a sportsman, and to have devoted himself to moose shooting. This was rather too much for the officer in command of the Guards, who, though obliged to allow an officer away for parliamentary duty, did not conceive that it was dealing fairly by the other officers to make them do his duty while he was amusing himself in the primval forests of Canada. Accordingly, Lieutenant-Colonel Annes ley was pulled up, and a long investigation would no doubt h a ve taken pl ace h ad not t h e errant fus ili er acce pted the o ption given hi m o f re ti r i ng f rom t h e serv i ce .

It is rumoured that the retire ment of Madame Grisi will induce the director to give the lighter operas of Rossini and other composers the promi nence this season, and that the lyric tragedies of " Norma" and "Lucretia Borgia" will not be, as heretofore, the only features of the programme. Mdlle. Patti and Signors Mario and Tamberlik Rill be among the principal artistes of the Royal Italian Opera. ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA. On Saturday evening the season of the Royal English Opera was brought to a close, the entertainments being for the benefit of Miss Louisa Pyne, the highly gifted and talented directress. On the occasion Meyerbeer's opera of "Dinorah," and a new operetta, " Court and Cottage," was performed. The house was completely crammed in every part imme diately after the opening of the doors; a fitting compliment to the accomplished heroine of the evening. Miss Louisa Pyne, who, whether as a singer or manageress, has deserved so well of the public, met with an immense reception, when she first came upon the stage, and on making her final curtsey to the audience was quite overwhelmed with floral tributes. The great English soprano never sang more de lightfully than on this occasion, and never was more effi• ciently supported by Mr. W. Harrison, and those able members of her company, Mr. Santley, Miss Jessie M'Lean, Mr. Honey, and Mr. St. Albyn. All the performers, with Mr. Alfred Mellon, the admirable conductor, to whose un tiring zeal and masterly skill the Covent-garden manage. ment is so largely indebted, were unanimously called for at the termination of the performances. DRURY-LANE. The season at Drury-lane terminated on Saturday even ing, when the performances were for the benefit of the lessee. On the conclusion of Mrs. Centlivre's comedy of " The Wonder," in which Mr. Charles Kean appeared as Don Felix, and Mrs. Charles Kean as Violante, there was a general call for Mr. E. T. Smith, but that gentleman being unfortunately unable to obey the summons of the audience, his place was supplied by the state-manager, Mr. Robert Roxby, who was received with hearty applause, He stated that he had been deputed by Mr. Smith, who was unavoid ably absent through severe indisposition, to thank them not only for their attendance there that evening, but for the unwavering patronage they had extended for a period of nine years. He begged, on behalf of the company and him self, to (express grateful acknowledgments for the favour with which their exertions had been received. Mr. Roxby then retired amid the acclamations of the audience. THE CHRISTY'S MINSTRELS. These extraordinary children of the west are performing nightly to crowded houses at the Polygraphic Hall, King William-street, Strand, and fully sustain the reputation which they have obtained in London and the provinces. This harmonious band was organised by Mr. E. P. Christy in the year 1842, and then performed without intermission in Broadway, New York, from that time until 1856, when Mr. Christy seceded from the direction, with, it is said, a fortune of £lOO,OOO upon his retirement ; the company came to this country (where this class of enter tainment was, as the Times expressed it, "in the gutter"), and made as great a hit as they have done in New York. They have now been in England nearly five years, and during that time they have not played to a thin or indifferent house. The music performance by the company is peculiar, and abounds in pleasing melodies, and the talent which they display in its execution has rendered it universally popular. Mr. D. S. Wambold, the tenor par excellence of the troupe, has a rare and beautiful voice ; it is full, sonorous, and of even quality from the lowest to The lAN:, -hest of its register. The refined expression which he , gives in singing, " Oh, happy boyhood," " Rock me to sleep, mother," and " I'm leaving thee in sorrow, Annie," as well as the arduous part he takes in many parts of the pro‘- gramme, draws down the rapturous applause of the audience. Mr. Burton, baritone, is a highly talented performer, and renders the ballads, " Silver Moonlight- Winds," "Beneath the Weeping Willow," with great taste and feeling. Mr. Basquin, basso, has also a beautiful voice, and is heard to very great effect in the concerted music, as also his song of "Beautiful Sea." Great praise is due to Mr. Isaac Spitler, as leader and director, for the admirable way in which the harmonies are arranged. The versatility of talent displayed by Mr. Collins, "who is now sole proprietor of this talented troupe ;" the alto singer (who is also the funny man, plays the bones, and prima donna in the burlesque opera) excites the liveliest interest, as does also Mr. Burbank, with his übiquitous tamborine. The drollery of this gentleman is inimitable, and divested of all vulgarity. Mr. Roberts performs a solo on the contra bass in admirable!style; his harmoniques use clear, pure, and in admirable time. Mr. Lewis, as the lady dancer of the troupe, is, without exception, the finest make-up we ever saw, and goes through the evolutions of the dances allotted to him with all the grace and ease equal to Taglioni or Cerito. Mr. Mert Sexton executes a quaint old Virginian dance in a very clever manner, and Mr. Burbank displayed wonderful agility in his American jig. We have not space or time to notice the remainder of the performances or per formers, suffice it to say that they all appear at home and equally talented in their various departments, and the lavish applause bestowed upon them must fully satisfy them that their efforts are duly appreciated. A horrible crime was committed a few nights back at Lundun (Gard) ; a maiden lady, named Astier, being found murdered in her bed. No traces of the mur derer were discovered, but the disorder in which the drawers were found, and the search which it was evident had been made in the mattress of the bed, showed that rob bery was the motive of the murderer. A sum of 7,000 fr. has since been discovered concealed, which had escaped the notice of the murderer. Mlle. Astier passed for being pos sessed of considerable property. Advices from Nancy state that a deputation of the manufacturers of embroidery of that town have been re ceived by the Empress,to whom they pointed out the depressed state of that branch of business, in which a considerable number of workmen were lately employed. The Empress promised to make such modifications in her toilette as would allow the use of embroidery. This summer, therefore, ladies will very probably wear open cor sages, similar to the toilettes admitted by the Court. AN UNEXPECTED RETURN.—A eireumfitance of a somewhat romantic character has been relatbd to us as hav ing occurred to a person formerly resident in this neigh bourhood, who filled the situation of schoolmistress in one of the church schools in this locality some few years back and was very highly respected. The individual in question had been married, and had some three or four children, but whether she had a husband living, or ought to don the weeds of widowhood, it was difficult to say, though time and the circumstances might somewhat have justified the latter. Her husband had sailed about thirteen years since for the gold diggings ; but the vessel in which he sailed was said to be wrecked, and all hands were supposed to have been lost. A few days since, however, the husband visited this neighbourhood, and called at the house in which his wife with her family had formerly resided, with the view of ascertaining some particulars of them and their present abode. He had been successful, it would seem, in amassing considerable wealth in Australia, and he had returned wish ing to spend the remainder of his days with his family. Alas I his wife, supposing herself a widow, had (after see ing her children well educated and piovided for) married again some two years since. The second marriage will, of course, be invalid, and though it will be difficult to attach an y positive blame to the wife, it may well be feared it will rather embitter the joy that should arise from the restora tion of a long-lost husband.—Dover Chronicle. PRETENDED CONFESSION OF THE ROAD MURDER. —On Friday evening a person of respectable appearance is reported to have committed suicide by jumping from Water loo-bridge. Shortly before 9 o'clock the man passed from the Middlesex side through the turnstile. On reaching the recess he jumped hastily on the parapet, and leaped into the water. Three persons, who were at the time near the spot, raised an alarm, but the man had disappeared. In the recess was found a common cloth cap, and in it a letter, of which the following is a copy, verbatim et literatim :—" To the Govenor of Nuget.—Dear Sir,—l beg you to read my reched life which I aye this nite, Friday, put a end to.

The .dioniteur of to-day contains the following official account of the reception by the Emperor of the deputation bearing the Address of the Corps Leg islatif. The Emperor, in reply to Count Morn), who presented the address, said:— " The adhesion of the Corps Legislatif is the more valuable to me as the discussion of the Ad dress offered a spectacle worthy of attention, As, unhappily, extreme opinions are most forward to display themselves ; and, as respect for the liberty of speech causes them to bo heard in silence, the public often take this silence for tacit acquiescence. But your address has now dispersed all these clouds, has put matters in their true light, and reestablished confidence. I receive with real satisfaction the ex pression of the feelings of the Corps Legislatif. People have been too much moved by the simple announcement of certain financial measures. A system can only be well judged when taken as a whole. The one proposed contains at once augmentations and diminutions of taxes and re sources for extraordinary public works which can either be developed or restricted. This question will, however, be discussed by common agreement, and I do not doubt that with the spirit of concilia tion which should animate all, the Committee on the Budget and the Council of State will actin con cert to bring about a solution in conformity with the wishes of the Chamber and the general interest. Be good enough, therefore, to be my interpreter, and express to your colleagues my gratitude for tho concurrence, which I am convinced will never fail me. Assure them that I have no desire to separate myself too soon from a Chamber whose enlighten ment and patriotism afford to the country all the guarantees which it can desire." ROME, MARCIE 23. The Marquis de Lavalette has had a private audience of the Pope, and has left for Paris. MILAN, MARCH 23, EVENING. It is asserted here that a grand demonstration has taken place at Verona. Fireworks are said to have been discharged showing the Italian tricolour. Many Hungarian soldiers have been arrested at Mantua. PARIS, MARCH 23. The address of the Corps Legislatif was presented by a deputation to the Emperor to-day. In reply, his Majesty is said to have expressed his thanks to the Corps Legislatif for the address, and to have added that he had no desire whatever to separate himself from the Chamber, whose con currence was so useful to him. The Emperor is also reported to have said that the law on the finances and the budget merited the serious attention of the Chamber, on which he re lied, and which possessed his entire confidence. TURIN, MARCH 23. The Monarchia Nazionale of to-day publishes a circular of the Minister for Foreign Affairs explain ing the policy which will be followed by the Italian Government. This circular treats particularly of three points, namely, the recognition of Italy and the position whi3h belongs to her ; the settlement of the Roman question in concert with the European Powers, and the Venetian question. The Minister maintains that the right of Italy to be recognised is evident. Relative to the Roman question he says that Rome should be the residence of the Pope, and at the same time the centre of the Italian Government. The circular also affirms that the solution of tb.e Venetian question, in conformity with, the wishes of Italy, is necessary for the maintenance of public order in Europe, because the present state of things continually endangers the general peace. The report that the southern army is about to be amalgamated with the regular army has been con firmed. MILAN, MARCH 22. The Milanese students have had an interview with Garibaldi, informing him that they had formed themselves into a company of Carabineers. Garibaldi recalled the events of 1859, and en couraged the students. A number of ladies have associated themselves with the institution of National Rifle Clubs. A crowd had assembled before the hotel of Garibaldi, shouting " United Italy !" " Rome and Venice !" A distribution of medals was appointed to take place at two o'clock to-day. MARCH 23. At the banquet given yesterday evening in the Hotel de Ville, Garibaldi spoke of the power of ideas, and of the future of Italy. He recalled also the number of foreign martyrs for Italian freedom, and said that it was the duty of Italy to be grateful to the Hungarians, Poles, and other peoples. He concluded by proposing the toast of " Victor Emmanuel, the Regular Army, and the Volunteers." General Turr also made a speech in which he spoke of Italy, whose battles were those of humanity. General Bixio proposed " The Alliance and Com munity of all Nations." Signor Feletri proposed "The Wallachians." Garibaldi has received a deputation from Venetia offering to make efforts for the completion of the unity of Italy. TURIN, MARCH 22. Commander Tecchio, the Ministerial candidate, was elected President of the Chamber of Deputies to-day by 129 out of 235 votes; 89 votes were re corded in favour of Signor Lanza, the Opposition candidate ; the remainder being in favour of other candidates. _ _ The Portfolio for Foreign Affairs has, it is said, been offered to Signor Torrearsa. MILAN, MARCH 22 (Evening.) The Allianza publishes the programme agreed upon between Kossuth, Klapka, and Turr in refe rence to Hungary. ROME. A letter from Rome of the 15th, in the DebatB, says : " Political arrests continue here. The Mayor of Bracciano, M. de Angelis, a most esteemed merchant, has been put in prison, as also the baker Verzani, accused of belonging to the national committee, as if every Roman did not belong to it. Four weeks hack the advocate N. (for motives of pru dence I do not give his name), was taken from his bed, and shut up in the prison of Saint Michel; up to the present moment he is ignorant of what he is accused. He may remain for years in this position, unless some event happens which will open the doors of the political prisons ; and some day or other, after two, three, or ten years of preventive deten tion he will be set at liberty without having even undergone an examination or known what was his crime. So it is that things are carried on here. But here is still better : six months ago two boys were quarrelling in the street, when the youngest aged eight years, called a gendarme who was pass ing, and denounced his companion as having written in the crown of his hat ' Victor Emmanuel for ever.' Upon this the worthy gendarme seizes hold of the child end the proof of accusation, and takes them to the police ; this child of fourteen years is sent to the Carceri Nuovi, where, after a detention of six. months, he has just been condemned to remain im prisoned for four years ad majorem Des yloriam. If any senator questions this fact, he may satisfy himself as to its truth by applying to the unfortu nate father, a poor workman in mosaic, residing at No. 125, Via del Babuino." FRANCE.

It does not appear that the insurrection is as yet over. A despatch in la Patrie gives the following details of the works taker/ by the Royal troops before Nauplia : "1. The batteries of cannon and mortars on the polygon of Mount St. Elias, Those batteriee caused great loss to the besiegers. The guns were turned against the town on the following day. " 2. The redoubts erected at the village of Arias, and armed with rifled cannon. ~ 3. The mill of Tabacoponlo, defended by s mortar battery. "4. The gunpowder mill of Cephalari. The insurgents, before abandoning that position, where large stores of arms and ammunition were col lected, inundated the powder and destroyrzd all the materiel collected. This is a great loss to the Stater for the pyrotechnic workshops communicating with the powder-mill had just been terminated, and had alone cost 500,000 drachmas. " However, the success obtained by the Royalisto is important, as it will allow them to open their fire with more advantage against the town, w hich is commanded by the plateau of Mount St. Elias." La Presse places no b e li ef i n the telegraphi c despatches from Athens, and says that Nauplits still holds out. La Patrie, under the head of " Latest Intelli gence," says ; 4, Fearing lest the insurrection in Greece should spread to the lonian Islands, the English Govern' ment has ordered two or three ships of war to Pr °- ceed to Corfu from Malta. Turkey has also ordered a body of troops to the Greek frontier." SINKING OF A RUSSIAN SI R,431 ER , AND SUPPOSED LOSS OF ALL ON BOARD. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. Telegram received this morning from Constan tinople announces a collision between a British and a Russian steamer, and the total loss, it feared, of all on board the Russian boat.

Captain Haram, of the Laconia, states that his vessel WO in contact with a Russian steamer, supposed to be the Balhita, bound for Salonica, which sank imlile" diately after the collision.
