On Saturday morning an Italian brig, the Peppino, which left Genoa on the 25th ult., ',bound for Constantinople and Odessa, came off the port to land two sick men, but there being reaon to suppose they were suffering under an attack of cholera, the desired permission was not granted) though every assistance in the way of medicine, provisions, and water was offered, as well as extra hands to replace the invalids. On the same day official telegraphic information was received here of the Italian sanitary authorities having placed a quarantine of 15 days on arrivals from all Austrian ports, including the ports of Venetia still under Austrian domain. To conform with this regulation the Malta Board of Health Ni : 1 1 doubtless adopt a similar precautionary measure.

The line-of-battle sailing ship Superb, 80, and the sailing frigate Nankin, 50, both of which have been fitted by the shipwrights and joiners at Chatham land Sheerness Dockyards, to be used as hospital ships for the reception of cholera patients, have been removed to moorings, near Saltpan Reach, neither of them, in consequence of the abatenlent of the cholera, being now required for the special service for which they were fitted up. The high tide of Thursday morning caused con siderable damage to the works now being carried on at the entrance to No. 3 dock at Chatham Dock yard, the coffer dam in course of construction for the enlargement Of the dock to admit of the double turret sh;p Monarch being laid down, receiving veryserious injury. Nearly the whole of the outer row of piles used in forming the dam have been bent and removed, and altogether the injury effected is so great that the works will be delayed several weeks, causing another period of some time to elapse before the keel of the new ironclad ship Monarch can be laid down in the dock. In the meantime workmen have commenced the new vessel in the temporary work shop adjoining the dock. Rear-Admiral the Hon. George F. Hastings, C. 8., is, we understand, appointed to succeed Vice- Admiral the Hon.. Joseph Denman as Commander in-Chief in the Pacific. The Zealous will be the flag-ship on the station. The huge Horsfall gun, made at the Mersey Steel' and Iron Company's works in 1856, ard presented to Government, is now lying under the heavy sheers at the Royal Arsenal wharf at Woolwich for trans port, it is stated, to Tilbury Fort, to protect the en trance of the river. The gun is well known from the place it took in target practice at Shoeburyness. It is a solid forging of wrought iron, bored out. The trunnions are forged upon a separate ring, which is held in place by a key. The dimensions of the gun, as given in Holley's " Treatise," are : Length, 15ft. 10in. ; diameter over chamber, 3ft. Tin. ; length of bore, 13ft. 4iu. ; diameter of bore, as reported by the Ordnance Select Committee, 13.014 in. The weight is 53,8461 b. 2.210 z. The usual windage is 2in. The gun is not rifled. The mass of forged iron in the rough was a rude conic frustrum, about 17ft. in length, rather more than 4ft. iu diameter at the breech end, and above 3ft. at the other eud. Paddled rough bars were made from the best selected Scotch and North Wr,les pig iron, and were worked as little as possible before being sent to the forging department. The puddle balls were hammered, then rolled into No. 1 bar iron, and that was cut up, piled, and again rolled into No. 2 bars. A core, formed of a fagot of square bars, was first welded up and rounded to about 15 in. diameter. Upon this three several cores or piles of V. shaped or voussoir bars were laid on welded iu succession. The extreme diameter of the breech end was produced by welding slabs over these again where the mass exceeded 32in. in diameter. The forging was done under a 15-ton hammer, and the heating in a reverberatory furnace. Fifty tons of iron were used, and the process occupied seven weeks. Above B,ooolb. of powder and 60,0001 b. of 2821 b. solid shot have been fired from this gun at various rounds ; among others there have be2n 90 rounds with 501 b. of powder, 21 rounds with 401 b. a n d six rounds with 501 b. at Shoeburyness ; two rounds with 801 b., at Liverpool, 13 rounds with 201 b. to 451 b., and 40 rounds with 301 b. With 451 b. of powder, a number of shell were fired loaded with lead to weigh 3101 b. and 3181 b. The unequal shrinkage of the solid breech of the gun during its manufacture caused a crack, which was afterwards covered with a breech-plug or false 'bottom in the chamber to prevent the lodgment of any burning material. Although injured in various places, it was fired with terrific effect at short ranges at the Warrior target at Shoeburyness, as subsequently recorded in The Sun, with charges of 2821 b. shot and 711 b. of powder each. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. W. F. S. Castle to the Pallas ; J. G. Liddell, master, additional, to the Fisgard for the Zebra; H. H. Burniston, paymaster, to the Zealous ; J. Cox, assist. -paymaster, to the Achilles; E. W. Newnham, assist. -paymaster, to the Meg ra ; J. R. Richards, assist. -paymaster, to the Royal GeOrge ; H. J.

TIEREATEIONG TO STAB.—Rich;ird Fitzgerald, a shoe maker, was charged before Mr. Alderman Lawrence with threatening to stab Joseph Levy, a general dealer, living at 4, Solomon's-building, City. From the evidence of the complainant, who is a member of the Jewish persuasion, it appeared that yesterday after noon he was returning from the clothes market, bonus ditch, in company with a young man, a namesake, but who was not related to him. This party said to tam, "Hero is Fitzgerald," and he saw him coming down the street. When within a few foet of him the prisoner said, " You - Jew, I'll cut the bowels out of you." Fearing that he would carry out his threat, he ran away through Devon shire-street, closely followed by the prisoner, until he met two policemen, who took him under their protection. One of the officers said that the complainant told him that the prisoner was I , llowing him with a stone for the purpose of assaulting him, but he said nothing about the knife. When the prisoner came within a few feet of him a knife dropped out of his coat pocket, which he said he wanted for his trade. Another witness, to whom the complainant alluded as having been in his company M hen Fitzgerald came up to him in - Devonshire-street, gave some corroborative evidence. The prisoner, in his defence, said he had not the slightest intention of using the knife, and that the two Levys were members of a clique who were endeavouring to prevent his purchasing goods in. Petticoat-lane. Three of them had assaulted him, and he had applied to the sitting magistrate for a warrant, which was refused, as he had not the money to pay for it. Mr. Alderman. Lawrence said as there was no proof that the prisoner seriously intended to use the knife against the complainant, ho would merely bind him over to keep the peace far six months.

A SCOUNDREL—WiIIiam Capel, a tall young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with loitering. Thomas Cheney, 87 0, said that about 12 last night be saw the prisoner and another man together in Grosvenor street, Regent-street, and knowing the character of the prisoners he watched them, and saw them go down King's Arms, where there is a urinal, and while the prisoner fol lowed nearly every gentleman in the other man kept watch. He afterwards followed the prisoner and his com panion to three other urinals, and then took the prisono into custody, but could not secure the other. The prisoner said ho was locked up for nothing at all. Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked that the prisoner could not have been following persons about, as had been proved, with a good intention. Sergeant Shillingford, 4 0, said that about 18 months ago he had the prisoner and two others in custody for a similar offence before Mr. Tyrwhitt, and two of them were sentenced then to two months' imprisonment each, and the other to three months. lie had several times cautioned the prisoner as to his conduct. On the prisoner last night was found a piece of cloth with some rouge on it. Cheney said the offence was becoming so common that it was dangerous for gentlemen to go into urinals at night. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner would go to prison for two mouths with hard labour, as a dangerous person who haunted places either to rob people, pr to endeavour, by means of threats, to get money out of them. BOW STREET. ROBBERY AT MELLON'S CONCERTS.—Edward Wilson was placed at the bar charged with stealing an umbrella. The prosecutor said he was last standing in the amphi theatre, and shortly before the entertainments concluded the prisoner took up the umbrella and went away with it. A gentleman named Rose informed him of the robbery, and he then followed the prisoner down stairs, he having the umbrella then in his possession. Prosecutor, seeing a police constable, told him his suspicions, downp e ri n s t o r n an er ce ru h s e he b d ad man s a tt e - d s, and when he got a X d th th e en str th ee e t get. rid of the umbrella, it was supposed, by throwing it out of one of the windows of the theatre. On_ going out• into •the street, however, the umbrella could not be found: The prisoner denied the robbery, an d said he was a respedtable man. The witnesses were positive that the prisoner was the per son who had taken the property of the prosecutor. A young man named H enry Burn, a printer, said about 12 months ago he was present at Bow-street Police Court when tho prisoner was convicted and sentenced to three months' imprisonment for stealing an' opera glass from the Lyceum Theatre. He had no doubt about the matter, although ho could not say the exact date of the robbery. He had no doubt about the prisoner being the man who stole the glass. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. LAMENTABLE EFFECTS OF INTOXICATION: ...Janes Birch, a cab driver, was charged with running ovens woman, and breaking her leg ; also with being drunk at the time he was charged. Police-constable Thomas Tollasegh, 230 B, said that, at seven o'clock last evening, he was on duty in Great Chapel street, Westminster, when he saw the defendant approach, driving a patent safety cab, ,When he agived at the corner of Little Chapel-street, and was turning, a woman, who was very drunk, fell off ;the kerb-stone into the road, and one of the wheels passed over her legs. Witness had her immediately conveyed to the hospital, whore it was found that one cf her legs was broken. Defendant was then taken to the station and detained. Mr. Ingham—How about this man—what was his con dition ? Constable—Under the influence of liquor. 3lr. Ingham—Was he drunk? Constable—He was. Air. Ingham—Now answer me this. Supposing this man had been perfectly sober, would it have been possible for him to have avoided running over this woman ? Constable—lt would not. The woman at the hos pital-- Mr. Ingham—Never mind about tho woman at the hospital, who evidently met with this accident through her own drunkenness. Defendant, in reply to the charge, said that he had driven a long way and a gentleman gave him some drink. He was driving home when the woman fell under the wheels of the cab. Ho had never been charged with drunkenness before. lie was fined 10s., and in default seven days. THAMES. A VERY SUSPICIOUS TRASSACTION.—Jamos Springer, aged 32, second mate of a ship, and recently paid off at a shipping-office, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. Police-sergeant Dunaway, an intelligent detective officer, No. 11 11, said at half-past 11 o'clock last night, his attention was called by Mr. Green, a respectable tradesman in Whitechapol, to two cabs pulled up by their drivers in a very dark and secluded place under a railway arch. Ono of the drivers was on his box with his horse's reins in his hands, the other driver was inside his cab, in which was the prisoner, who was helplessly intoxicated. He asked the cab-driver what he meant by leaving his box, and going inside his cab, and he made an excuse that ho was looking after his fare, and unfastening the prisoner's neck cloth. He made both cab-drivers turn their pockets inside out. There was no money in their possession but the earnings of the day. The sailor had £2O in gold and silver in his pockets, and said he had lost £l4 he did not know how. Mr. Partridge—Where is the £2O now ? The prisoner—l have it in my pocket: Mr. Partridge—You will lose it in five minutes after leaving this place if you are not looked after. What foolish and improvident men you sailors are. You have just been paid off and have lost £l4 already. If the cab-drivers tried to rob this Man they ought to bo prosecuted. Dunaway—He don't wish to proceed further with tho else. gr. Partridge—But it is a question of public interest. Don't lose sight of this case, b unawa _ y . You are the most proper officer I know to look after it. The transaction is a very suspicious one. The prisoner must pay the usual fine of ss. ; and he had batter return to the Sailors' Home in Well-street, and deposit his money in the savings bank of that excellent and well-conducted institution.

It will be remembered that some time ago the theatres entered upon a crusade against the Music halls, and that a summons was taken out against Mr. Strange for performing a ballet at the Alhambra. The case was ultimately taken into the Court of Common Pleas, where the judges decided it was not a" stage play," and ballet since that time has reigned triumphant in Leicester-square. Mr. Morton was not so fortunate, for having been summonsed under the same act of Parliament, Mr. Vandervell's pan tomimic sketch of " Hodge Podge," which was then drawing all London, was stopped in its bril liant career at the Canterbury-hall, although no person appeared on the stage, the figures being shown by reflection ; yet this was considered to be a stage-play. Since that time until the present quietude has reigned amongst the rival caterers for public amusement. We are once more startled with the ominous words, " Theatres v. Music halls;" but we are .happy to find the arena to settle their .disputes will not be a court of law, but the Oval at Kennington, where these antagonists are to be pitted against each other in a cricket match, which will take place on Tuesday and Wed nesday next. As many celebrated names will be found in the list of " players," should the weather prove favourable we have no doubt a large number of the friends of both parties will be present to witness this interesting match. The admission money will be handed over to the General Theatrical Fund ; and as charity covereth a multitude of sins, we trust the jealousies of the past will be obliterated, the opinion of the committee appointed by the House of Commons, and which sat last session in order to frame an act for the better regulation of theatrical licences, having been so firmly expressed in favour of free trade in the drama. This gather ing of the profession has now an opportunity of being the authors of an everlasting peace. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. (From the Illustrated London News.) The will of the Right Hon. Sir James Wigram, P.C., of Portland-place, Vice-Chancellor 1841-50 was proved in the London Court on the 7th inst. by his son, James Richard Wigram, Esq. ; his brother, Loftus Tottenham Wigram, Esq. ; and his nephew, Loftus Wigram Arkwright, Esq.

Some people hastily set it down as a fruit, but this is very clearly far-fetched, and appears about as pertinent as it would be to call a strawberry a vegetable. Wo tom the hop a flower, and it has, in times long Past , been known as "the flower of Kent." Perhaps, Epoak ing botanically, it is hardly a flower, but the word is convenient and expressive ; at all hazards it is far more expressive than "fruit," which word conveys an erroneous impression to the minds of those who have never seen a hop, except in the ball room. Supposing that "fruit" and "flower" are both wrong, we may suggest that, if there is any arbitrary term, it is either a vegetable or an herb. It may be a vegetable because it must be cooked before it can be consumed; but we incline to the opinion that after all it is an herb, because it must be decocted before the brewer can make use of it. Still, the word "flower" is more convenient. A flower is composed of a stem and petals, and so js a bop ; and so we suppose we- must continue to call it a flower, even at the risk of differing in opinion from those who will have it is fruit.—The Brewer's Journal. Visit of the Volunteers to Belgium. Last evening a meeting of the English Volunteer Committee for conducting the proceedings connected with the Belgian Tir National and visit of English volunteers to Brussels, took place at the Vestry hall of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, to receive a re port as to the final arrangements for the fetes in question. Captain Dighton, of the London Rifle Brigade, occupied the chair; and amongst those present were Major and Adjutant Charter (Queen's, Westmin ster); Capt. Irvine, Ist Surrey; Capt. Crossland, 3d Middlesex Artillery; Capt. S. Mullens, Ist Middle sex Artillery; Capt. Scrivener, Queen's; Ensign Starkie, Queen's; Major Sanders, 48th Middlesex ; Capt. and Adjutant Tyler, Queen's, &c. The first point under discussion was in reference to ladies ac companying the volunteers, and being admitted to all the entertainments, as well as to travel at the same fares as the volunteers themselves. In a long discussion which ensiled it was pointed out that in the face of the large number of volunteers who had sent in their names, it would be unjust for volun teers to seek to take friends with them and occupy the places at the various balls and fetes, at the cere mony in St. Gallic, the visit to the Place des Mar -1 tyrs, and the Theatre de la Monnaie, all of which are intended for volunteers alone, and any addition to their numbers would be looked upon as an encroach ment upon the kindness and liberality of the Bel gians. In regard to ',the tickets issued by the com mittee for volunteers, in answer to questions, it was explained that it was an understanding between the railway companies that the holders of the ss. tickets issued by the committee would be alone entitled to the volunteer railway tickets, or to participate in any of the fetes or privileges 'at Brussels, being also in uniform. The next point of discussion was the command of the British volunteers, and Lieutenant Furley, one of the hon. secs., stated that Lord Spencer had been invited to take the command, as such posi tion, if assumed by his lordship, would not only be acceptable to the volunteers, but he had ascertained through M. Van de Weyer, would be equally so to the Belgians who were at Wimbledon, and who fully hoped his lordship would accept the command. It was also resolved to recognise Lieut. Furley's ser vices by requesting his appointment as aide-de-camp to the commanding officer. Five lieutenant-colonels had signified their intention of being present at Brussels. The Great Eastern Railway had made excellent arrangements to take volunteers in uniform the return journey, first class and saloon, at 155., and second class, 10s., trains running from Bishops gate-street every Wednesday and Saturday. This line offers also the privilege of volunteers taking a lady with them. The owners of the Albert Victor (Steam Navigation Company) offered to take volun teers and. their friends, if a certain number were guaranteed, from London to Ostend, for 12s. 6d. and 7s. 6d. return journey, allowing a week. The General Steam Navigation Company have acted very liberally, having issued tickets for the out and home journey as low as 10s., with the option of re turning by Rotterdam, Antwerp, or Ostend. Coin.- plaint was made of the South-Eastern, and London, Chatham, and Dover charging 325. Gd. and 225., as the fares upon the Great Eastern were so much less, notwithstanding that the trains and boats of the Belgian Government carry the volunteers free. A resolution was adopted, that the voltinteers be in vited to go to the Great Eastern route en masse, un less the South-Eastern and London, Chatham, and Dover reduce their fares, and give facilities for volunteers to reach Brussels before the Saturday ; that is, on Thursday or Friday, the 20th and 21st September. After some further details had been gone through, thanks to the authorities for the use of the hall, and a similar compliment to the chairman, closed the proceedings. FRENC if THEATRICALS. VAUDEVILLE.—Has any Jcttatore hovered over this theatre ? Misfortunes follow closely upon each other ; failures and fiascos are all that is left to the critic to chronicle. The " Nouveau Cid" is the last 'yet most - slgnal of all the-Vaudeville fiascos. The condemnation, which was general and unmistake able, was assuredly well deserved, but it had some thingin it personal. Pipe-en-Bois hooted "Gaetana" and " lienriette Mardchale " from the stage, as he hissed the " Nouveau Cid " away. Now Gaetano., and Henriette had some good points, the "Nouveau Cid " has none whatever. Yet all were hissed and hooted away because the town entertained personal prejudices against M. About, MM. Goncourt, and M. Hugelman. It so happens that justice has run with caprice, but we must protest against these personalities. The fiercest of democrats might write a good play, even should he have changedliis 'political opinions. With these the play-going public have no right to interfere. GYMNASE.—They have acquired an excellent habit at the Gymnase of bringing out a batch of novelities at once. The other night they produced " Les , Wagons des Dames," and " Les Sabots d'Aurore," and on Thursday they played two new pieces, both well entitled to the plaudits they received. "Un Manage h l'Enchere' will owe its success toßlaisot's laughable impersonation of a " tender parient" who is always prating about his disinterestedness and paternal affection, whilst he is ready to sell his child to the highest bidder. The young lady knows a great deal too much. She is a sort of " Pucelle de Belleville," one of those pleasant books which our dear readers used to poke under the sofa cushion when visitors were announced. But in these Benoi ton days we wonder at times where young ladies of the best regulated families acquire all their surpris ing information upon subjects which were tabooed by the stricter propriety of our youth. Anna (Mdlle. Menty) enters into all her papa's enlightened views. She gives up her cousin for a betterparti, whom she abandons for a yet wealthier nephew of her notaire; but the steamer which was to have brought this Caesar and his fortunes to Havre went down with all hands, and thus the lady loses all her lovers, and is forced to fall back upon her cousin at last. Blaiset is about as good a sketch of a Parisian papa as ever appeared upon the stage. No one should miss going to see him. If the first piece reminded us of Paul de Kock's tale the " Amour d'une In genue" bore a strong resemblance to Mrs. Inchbald's " Simple Story." An uncle, who hovers between 30 and 40, is left guardian of his sister's child. The uncle is very kind to his niece, but is yet kinder to Mdlle. Olympe and other ladies who have played in the Olympic games of the denzi-monde. The niece falls in love—with whom do you suppose of all people in the world—" Oh! my prophetic soul, ray uncle." When she discovers that he is bent upon f going out to shoot cocottes, or any other sport hiso that kind, she sews up his coat sleeves, The white chokers, and torments him exceedingblyid:esT revealed due at teterrima causa of these wars is borne for season ; she contrives to keep . h a ini n _ d the amorous her own particular amusem,reOnt uncle marries his niece. enotisn : °. ur taste there is On the fly-leaf something nasty in thi f i n „ u 'res a long list of ladies of the old family bibiteth'e pale of matrimony.

For us these circumstances would not be attenuantes, nor would they be any more admissible in the other case. An Englishman would no more think of making love to his grand mamma than to his sister's child. But these restric tions are not imposed in France. Uncles and nieces are constantly buckled together, and make excellent menages; therefore was the marriage of this Ingenue rapturously received. Mlle. Barataude, the debu tante, is aulngenue who might inveigle any one into ' matrimony. She is a great acquisition to the Gym nase. She has the bluest of eyes, blue as those which shone from under Athenes' brow upon the Greeks before Troy ; and she has learned the art of turn ing ,them to the best account, as she darts glances from them upon the poor inflammable wretches in . the galls as murderous as from a Zundnadelgewohr. AMERICA. (Per the Persia, via Roche's Point.) NEW YORK, Sept. 5 (Morning). President Johnson and suite continue their tour through the West, receiving enthusiastic and popular receptions, and making speeches along the route.

At Detoit the President made a bitter speech against Congress, declaring that the popular masses would come to the rescue, and that the whole Radical set wont' be destroyed. Mr. Seward in his speech declared that all efforts to separate Grant and Johnson would be futile). He foreshadowed the early downfall of the Repub licans. if they continued in their Radical course.
