On Saturday evening a new comedy, from the pen of Sterling Coyne, entitled The Secret Agent, was produced at this theatre with the most decided success. The scene of the play is laid in one of the small states in Ger many, where we find that, during his minority, the Duke Victor (Mr. Howe), has succeeded to the dukedom, but his mother, the Dowager Duchess, has, for a lengthened period, managed all the affairs of state for him, and so pleasant has power become that, to preient the said ' Duke Victor from thinking of resuming the reins of Gb vernment, his thoughts are directed by the Dowager, aided by the Prime Minister, Count Steinhausen (Mr. Buckstone), and the Grand Chamberlain, Baron Stand buck (Mr. Compton), to the pursuit of pleasure. This state of things has been going on some time, when the people viveatually become discontented, and fears are entertained of conspiracy. During the time that the government has been in the hands of the Dowager her Ministers have effected numerous jobs, by which the various members of their families have each been handsomely pro vided for. The Duke's eyes are opened by his cou sin Ernestine. She informs him of the disaffec tion that exists, and further tells him that the only way to regain the love of his people is to assume the reins of government himself, and to send his present ministers to the right about. He promises to do so, and Ernestine hits upon a plan by which it can be very quietly done, namely, that a certain person shall be said to have arrived at Court—an old school-fellow—whom he, the Duke, has appointed as his secret agent, from whom ho will receive notice of everything that goes on in the place. Great consternation is occasioned the Duchess and her ministry by the supposed presence of this secret agent, who is, in fact, the Duke himself, and numerous are- the stratagems and expedients resorted to to dis cover him. The Prime Minister and the Chamberlain tremble in their very shoes, and each is afraid to speak higher than a whisper for fear of being overheard by the Duke's secret agent. The acting of. Mr. Buckstone at this part of the play was incomparable, and our readers, we imagine, can form an idea of the acting of two such true artistes as he and Mr. Compton in such a position. But to proceed with the plot. The courtiers resort to every means to discover " this person who is in nobody's way," and Nettchen, Ernestine's maid, further perplexes them by telling the Count that lie (the secret agent) will be present at a masked hall, dressed as Mephistopheles ; and, on the other hand, she informs the Baron that the secret agent will appear at the bill as a Spanish lady. The appearance of Mr. Buckstone as a Spanish dancer, and his clever imitation of Perea Nena, was received with tremendous applause and shouts of laughter, which were repeated on the entry of Compton as Mephistopheles. When they discover themselves each believes the other the secret agent of the Duke, and begins to plot each other's downfall ;, and, finally„the prime minister is arrested, and sent t- the state prison at Spilsburgh. This brings about an ex planation. The Dowager Duchess goes into private life, and the ministers retire; one (the Count), as'a reward for his ld,bours, receives the blue riband of the order of the:goldein ass, while the Bare u is appointed director-gene. ral of the water works, and the Duke marries Ernestine; The great success that the piece achieved eras mainly owing . to• the exertions of Mr. Buckstone, and hencefor ward the part of Count Steinhausen ,will be considered one of his greatest effort 4, and without doubt it is so, The comedy has been splendidly put upon the stage, the scenery, dresses, and appointment; being of the ?must gorgeous description. It was given cut by Mr. Lo.l•- stone for repetition every evening, amidst the applause of one of the most crowded and delighted audiences that ever assembled within the walls of " the little theatre in the Haymarket."

This address was received with great enthusiasm. , The departure of the first regiment for Toulon commenced immediately after the review. • The, Toulonnais says the Herbillon division noW at Lyons is composed of 7,081 men and 728 horses. Six hundred of the Guides will set out for the Crimea shortly before, or about the time the Em= perm' leaves, 600 will follow soon after, and the ye inainder will remain in Paris as the depot. It appears .that the whole of the, corps are most -anxious to go, and memorials are constantly sent to the Emperor for permission. The farewell review of the 9th - and 32d Regi ments' of the line, forming part of the 11th division 'of the army of reserve of the East, was held on Sa turday by the Emperor in the Court of the Tuil eries, About half-past 12 o'clock the war batta lions of those Regiments, under General de Guyon, "were drawn up in two lines in front of the - central tpavilien of the Palace, known as the '" Pavillon de Marshal Magnan and General Roquet were, 6n th'e ground to receive the Emperor.

It is well known that this measure, comprised in the general armament ordered by the Emperor Ni cholas, had 'not met with any opposition.

Our men must be properly fed, clothed, and lodged—must have weapons and. tools of the best description, so as to be enabled. to fulfil the most sanguine expectations that have been formed respecting the results of their exertions, and there, must also he plentY of men and materials. :No deficiency in the personnel or materiel of war can be tolerated. This will unquestionably be cm pensive. But we must, in order to meet chat expenditure, abandon an unjust and impolitic system, which even in times of profound peace hai; occasioned intense misery and privation to a largo proportion of the working population. There must be a thorough revision of our fiscal and financial, but, above all, of our monetary laws. The Act of 1844 must be totally repealed; that of 1819 materially modified. We must have a really national bank, and an adequate supply of mai notes of 11., 21., and 3/. Thus alone can we ob tain a circulating medium adequate to the wan is and exigencies of the country, and supply the necessary life-blood to industry. The fate of the War depends not merely on Live men and money devoted to its maintenance, bv.t in no small degree to the measures of the lai; e editor of the Edinburgh Review, the now Financial Minister of the British empire. What are we to think of Austria ? • Always (ma the verge of acting, but never even declaring' her self ; getting diplomatic praises, we regret to •say, in some instances the praises of the English press also, and satisfied with renewing her drafts on our credulity. We may reasonably ask our com mercial peace-at-any-price men at what rate they would discount bills like hers ; or at how mush they would estimate them in examining the con dition of a firm whose liabilities and assets they had to state ? Such bills would fare worse in the market than the Russian 5 per Cents. at Hamburg, which the other day were scarcely worth 80, when our 3 per Cents. were above 90. It is now, if we remember rightly, two months since Austria was to have been in action ; four-. teen days were allowed the GORTSCHAKOFP 'Of Vienna from the end .of December ; if no deci sive acceptance of the Allies' terms arrived at that time Austria was to come out, and we should. see what we should see. Promptly, a favourt.ble telegraphic message came from the CZAR, antici pating even the fourteen days ; yet; nothing is clearer now than that the all-important point of the Black Sea was intentionally left vague. A phrase was ingeniously lit upon with which Russia could play, as_she did with* the celebrated 'Vienna Note, by which .she could gain a chance. of paralysing somewhat the energy of the Allies : , while she could make sure of keeping Austria. from active measures. The result fully justifies the view we now- give of Russian and Austrian concert and duplicity. The former soon complained that her assent to the Four Points was not followed by cessation 'from aggressive action on the part of the Allies ; that was what the late CZAR had chiefly in view. Luckily, even our Ministers dared not to appear so easily cheated. We may even hope that they did not wish so to degrade themselves in the eyes of the whole civilised world. The other object, however, Russia gained to her heart's content. Austria lay to again most willingly, instead of venturing to face the danger ; .and there she lies still, 'one sail blowing her towards the Allies, the other towardS Russia ; while it is to the latter that her course is really turned. The alliance that "defensive to-day. might hecOme offensive -te-merroW,” -which seems :even to .have. -suggested such a hope to the cautious Emperor of the FRENc,a, is still a gAncinm Austrian alliance, one as remote - as ever from any result but that of taking the best possible care of Hapsburg des— potism. The intention of the Four Points was discernible enough to. every honest mind at once: The last and all-important, one might have 'had a. e fi nite minimum. assigned.- . --it 'might -have funs thus The cession of the 'Crimea, or, .4:least, ..the perpe- . tual dismantling of Sebastopol -; the restoration CircaseiollS of ,tliio.r'Seg Oast, '4nd the` wit,} 'drawment of Russian troops-from-every inch -of 'theirterritery;"pieNnyasenient to'retifibe Nicolareff .-and Odessa to purely commercial ports ;.-and that none of the - Allies . .lihofild be allowed ,more than a limited naval force in. the Black Sea. Even with the miserably 'paltry views which would' leave , , Russian territory undiminished tlup =all might babe been' insisted'- ; it-would-then have been seen bow far ,Rgsga rejinquishee the thought of injuring Turkey. Our readers well know how much more we deem it the duty of our statesmen to demand. At Vienna, however, the point was so adroitly stated that NICHOLAS might give as his views of the proposal, that Turkey, and her Allies, if they wished, might go to the enormous expense of erecting and maintaining another Sebastopol, per 'haps, at Sinope ; that Turkey, like Russia, was to waste her future revenue in a race with the latter in fort-building and ship-building. Turkey was to become as barbarous as Russia—the SULTAN to sink to the counterpart of a•-CzAR ! ' , _ Ever since the showy offer of the Four Points to Russia, and the pother of diplomatists and cer tam. journalists about it, _all has gone on most smoothly with Austria and her Western Allies. She has traded for two weary months on her wordy 'virtue ; but thpre she is still, an ally who fights with words .merely, and whose words in the end always turn out to ihave been selected for her awn conven i ence and that of Russia. It seems folly to expect that such an ally will ever join us in fighting: Probably Lgrd Joan RusSnin does •nat expect it, and may - be prepared to patch up a peace which will leave Austria possibly a terri torial gainer, without firing a gun. • It is perhaps too hard to Suspea the leading 'Whig statesman so far. Vienna , is, however, a seductive capital. Lord JoHh is by no,means insensible to flattery when Courts, for Court purposes, are the flatterers. Austrians and Russians may well prove . more'thau a match for the statesman who allowed NicnoLAs to absorb Poland, and who more than tolerated his armed suppression of what he shamelessly de signated the " Hungarian rebellion." When the interests of . German desPots are at stake, Lord Sour/ borrows his words, and his thoughts too, from Ccraitniv-pON. The ' last little movements of Austria are all pro-Russian. There was a needless ostentation 'of condolence over the•death of the modern Mau ea.uw.zzin. ;- and, worse than all, a decree that • Pginaent was still to retain the name of _"l s TienoLltg'," because' - of the CzA.n'S services in 11111u Ag 4 7. This was, we suppose , to make amends for' the Alm a congratulations. We can hardly imagine, how ever, anything more servile and de grading, settin g ai,id e the insult to the Allies of parading the CZAR'S nata • e regiments itself. of e on th e ba nners o f a regiment. It not only tell iciEe — Alligirthat that regiment c an never fight against th NICHOLA S, but it brands on the regiment the disgrace of the Austrian army, *ic. , r.. , . • —oLAs helped it only because the Hungarians had beaten 4: -.'The NICHOLAS regiment is the inenlorial of H ungar i an brayery and Austrian cowardice.

MARCH 6.—Since the passing: , of ,the convention, loan in the Senate, and- the Convent Suppression Bill by the Deputies, there has been a lull in the public interest in - Parliamentary proceedings.

By the arrival of the Arabian we have ad.vices from Melbourne to the 16th of . Deceraber inclu sively. The " strike" of- thp diggers—for ,".insun rection".is too strong a term—was, over; and order restored. The firm attitude - assumed by Sir Chas. Botham and the local Government ,has been ,at tended with thehappiest results. After the skir mish between the Military and the diggers, unhap pily attended.*ith. much loss of life, martial law Was proclaimed at the goldfields at Ballarat on the 6th of December.- Order was, hoirever, so far re established on the Bth that another proclamation was issued by Sir Charles Hothara, revoking the In the Legislative Council of Melbourne, on the 6th •of Decentber, Mr. Miller s a member - of the - counbil, moved "That the Lieut. - -Governor, having been placed . in a painfully enibarrassing position sinee'biti *firma! in Vic toria,, is entitled"to the - sympathy and support of this botincil, and it pledges' itself, by every means ,in its power, tanid hiin in restoring and maintainibg law' and order." ' ' • . • In seeending.this motion, the Colonial'Secretary made the. following statement " Most of the disaffected, who did not _form the bulk of the diggers, and many of the leaders, were foreigners, while the real hard , working diggers were clplighted with the timely ixtervektion of the Government. He'read ex tracts from despatches received _that day, from. Captain Pasley and Commissioner Rede, showing this to be the. case ; that order was now entirely reaorecl, and that 417 licenses had been issuecl•irt one day. He was also, truly happy to say that the majority of the prisoners, as well .as of those killed, we're foreigners.". Thd principal leader of tho refractory had been arrested. The Legislative Cinincil has passed a vote of thanks to the nailitary. A correspondent of the Melbourne 4rgus writes as follows : "All remains perfectly quiet on the goldfields, and there is obviously, from day to day, an increase; of the number of .those at work in the different shafts. Trade is recovering in some measure from its paralysis, and' things are resuming the aspect they presented before - the unhappy outbreak. Amid the superficial quiet, there'is a constant undercurrent of reports which tend to keep all en the alert. I may quote one or two of these reports which I have ascertained to be completely unfounded; but which were communicated to me so seriously as to lead me to institute careful inquiry. It was stated that a trooper on his way to Melbourne had the other evening been shot at Bacchus Marsh—it was hoped by a bush ranger, but it was feared by one of Colonel Vertefi out posts. It was stated that a pirty of troopers who went out yesterday license-hunting had been hooted and pelted, and compelled to abandon their prisoners and re treat ; that the escort this morning had been insulted in a similar way ; that an unfinished tent belonging.to Mr. Humffrays had been appropriated by the police, Without its owner's knowledge ; and that an application to Mr. Hackett to hold an inquest on one of those who died from wounds received on the Sabbath morning had been contemptuously refused by that gentlemen. TheSe are statements which have been made to me' with all con fidence in the course of the last two days; and by those whom I would have expected to find well informed. I cannot say in what form of exaggeration these reports may be' circulated among the windlasses, but, from what I know; of their influence on my mind, lean believe that they would tend very much to postpone the tranquillity which all must wish to be restored at Ballarat. " I have been inquiring lately into the extent - to which the population of this gold, field may be regarded impregnated with the convict element. I am infOrmed that 10 per cent. of the entire people may be regarded as belonging to this class, but that a large proportion of them are tolerably respectable and industrious men. I can easily understand this. Gold mining is quite the pursuit in which• men of this class might be expected to enza, and find in it the charm without . the 'danger hf their previous employments. Though Iliti'lab'd'ut otthe miner is toilsome enough, and is, even apart from fro.. quent disappointments, attended with many discomforts, it has a freedom and independence which may be sup posed calculated to recommend it to men indisposed by inclination and habit to the ordinary restraints con nected with settled labour." The chance there is, too of a brilliant success enables the man of anything like san guine temperament to surmount present toils and hard ships. " I have made careful inquiryasto thenumberof Men of this class who were identified with the recent insur rectionary movement. lam informed that about 30 of _the 150 in the stockade were of those who had been con yids, and that,'*of these 30, 20 might be regarded - as in .duced to flionnect themselves with the agitation with a view to plgnder. Even a,temporary success would have furnished the most favourable opportunity for ac,(gran disement. the robbery of the,_stores, * &c.,.a. course whick was commenced-and carried- to some ex-' tent, many shafts were known besides in which.valuable washing stuff had,tbeea-collected, and there was every, -probability , that even a felv days of successful rebellion would leave these heaps in gie power of the rebels." The Arabian has broughe .5 8,0 0 0 ounces of gold 'on freight, 18,000 bales of wool, and 200 passengers. Trade was improving. ' . A sample of coal front . Spring say, equal to the best qualities of Port Arthur, had Seen eichibited at Hobart Town. The prospect of gold being found in Tasmania was considerably strengthened. At Sydney trade was much depressed. English and foreign goods were being sacrificed daily, a.id it was feared the worst had not been reached. The gold market was quiet, at 3/. 17s. per ounce. The Arabian fell in with ldrge quantities of ice (some of the bergs very large) between longitude 1.70 and 40, west ; between longitude 56 and 40 she experienced dense foggy weather, and, the ship was Bove to several times, the icebergs being so very numerons and the weather so thick that she was frequently within a few yards of a berg before it was detected.
