Our yesterday's paper announod the arrival of the Emperor Napoleon at Genoa, awl the telegraph informs us since ► that his first act was to issue an order to the army of Italy in which he says :—" Soldiers, I come .to plu s myself at your head, to conduct you to the eambat `We are about to second the struggles of a people now vindicating its independence, and to rescue- it from foreign oppression ! This is a sacred cause, whith has the sympathies of the civilised world. I need not stimulate your ttrzlowt, —every step will remind yOu of a victory ! In the Via Sabra Ancient Rorie inscriptions were chiselled upon the marbk, reminding the people of their exalted &leas is the same to-day In passing Iktondov, Marengo, Lodi, Castagloni, Arcole, ana. Rivoli, you will in the midst of 'those glorious recollections be marching in another Via Sacre.. Preserve that Strict discipline that is the honeur of the army:; here forget it net. There ate other enemies than those 'ivho fight againA you in battle. Remain compact abandon not your ranks !to hasten forward. Beware of too great enthusiasm, which is the only thing I fear. The new arms zit precision are dangerous only' at a distance. They *will not prevent the bayonet from being what it has hitherto been the terrible 'weapon of the French infantry. Soldiers; let us all do our duty, and put our confidence in God. Our country- expects much from ydia. From one end of France to the other the folio - wing words of happy augury reecho : The new army of Italy will be worthy of 4her elder sister."' The 21foniteur of yes- ter4y morning published a telegram. from Genoa . a nnouncing the enthusiastic reception which wel-- corned' the Emperor on his arrival at that town The 'Puiis correspondent of the Thursde- ?Nees, WT Ung on there is not much substantial difference in the country, the platitudes about neutrality and the . necessity of increasing itienal defences might as well have been spared as solemn protestations of the respective belief of the, candidates in the Coper `nitiin system and the Ten Commandments. • All the I heroes of the old cries, crotchets, and crazes reappear , as regularly as the clown and his brethren iii the Christmas pantomime. ' Few have been ostracised I for their politiCal virtues —still fewer, have been . discarded for their political worthiness." Thus writes our eleyer contemporary, . ,the , . Saturday _Review,— in this instance, however, " too clever by half" for his subject. The question: he has stated may now be in every Month ; but there are not many ,mouths, we are persuaded, that will give such an answer to it as he has here presented. In the first place, the "small numerical reinforce r ment"f which Lord DERBY has received, may turn out to be, - at least, mlatiirely great. Let us see what The total Ministerial gains now ascertained are, We believe ; correctly calculated at forty-four, the Liberal gains at seventeen ; and the subtraction of the latter Trona the ftirmer 'ilitntier, - leares 'the nett Ministerial gains, er Liberal loss, at twenty- seven. At least three more setts are still confi dently- expected to be .gained Ib7 the Government,! which. will make their gains thirty. And This, in a division, will Cotitt as sixty votes., The majority against them in the division, from the :adverse issue of which arose th e necessity of the D'isolution, was thirty-iiine. So That, taking that division as a test of strength, they have turned the majority el thirtY- nine Against them, into a majority of 'twentyont in their favour: - That is to say, if 1116 y Teintrodiide their Reform !!Bill, or any Bill wAstantially of ',the same character, they would now :have a majority of probably a score of votes, or Cnereabeuts: for its second' reading, .and kir - it's gtiing into Committee. Here, therefore, in the very outset:of the considera tion of this question 'of " What :is 'gained ?" it is evident that the conclusion is an.ereneous'orte, that " there is nothing to be expected from - the new Parliaritent which could not 4u - we been got' from the old." the second reading df the AEnisterial Reform Bill wnald be to ;be expected &cm it. As to the " could not or woald not;" Abatis another matter . It was because the old Parliament too-util not allow the lt4form Bill to be Teed. second time, not because it could not, that it 1 - ,ras sent" about its business. The men, or a majority of . Clem, would not cloo it ; and -now their successors are'' ;o be taken as men " more likely tonaehieye it." ItTst even is it stridiy true, that "It3forrn stands exettly where iit did." :There hns , not;tonly been no faltering on the part cif those:to whom the QUEEN'S appeal . was made, on - this question, tut there has I. been an advance , made. The country has at least ainly and strongly, on the great spoken out t every hustings - it . has been a prorni . ,ttent topic. But for*the importance 'uf the question of Peace just now, it would have-been the promizent topic in every constituency, 'whether County or Question Borough Bat Peace hae generally been coupled with Progress,--and Progress means Reform. And I , eeveral Ministerial candidates, •not only' reiterated t i their adherence to the cause of Parliamentary Reform, taut declared themselves in favour of a Wider eaten ion of the franchise than was ; proposed in the Government Bill. It•-can scarcelyiae said, therefore, that even " Reform stands exactly were it did." It stands, we think, in a nathe •advantageous position Ahan it did, even on. the Ministerial side.• And on' ,the other side, it certainly stands in a still more advantageous position, since the seventeen Liberal 14 gins have all.,raore or.less involved the question di- Reform, —that is to -say, the seventeen seats have been, snatched by thorough Reformers from those who were not ,deemed sufficiently decided as Re formers, or else were suspected_to be not Reformers ,at all. ' But the question,-" What iagained, and what is lost 9" to be answered with any degree of certainty. must be considered in a more _comprehensive point :of view. We must•see.whitt is, the prevailing com ,plazion of the new House of Commons. And it is indisputable, we believe, ..that , notwithstanding the .Ministerial gains in, the, _General Election, the Opposition will still haire a Majority of upwards of .fifty votes. Of course every thing will depend, at .ill events for some time to come, on the opportunity .which . may arise for calling into adverse action the Liberal majority' And' yet, according to accounts, such an opportunity is likely, to be. ,4pecially provided, immediately on the new Par liament being ready to proceed to business:" "It is not possible to imagine," said the Sear, a day or two since, " that Lord PALMERSTON and his friends,*can be at rest at a time when European politics are so .exciting, and .it .is not surprising to hear that they contemplate an attack upon the DERBY Administra tion as soon as the House of Commons has assembled. But we can scarcely make up our minds to believe," it is added, " that this attack will be founded upon the policy of dissolving the late Parliament. No doubt the expressed opinions of Sir JAMES GRAHAM and vLord JOHN RUSSELL on that subject might lead Lord PALMERSTON to infer that an amendment to the Address, in answer' to the .Speech from the Throne, condemnatory of the Dissolution on account of the state of Foreign Affairs, would haye,a good ehanee of being carried, and would thereby be the means of his own restoration to power. But Lord PALamitsa'oN cannot be ignorant that many Liberal members :of Parliament, who sit with him on the same side of the House, are of opinion that a Dissolution can, under no circumstances, be an evil, and that in the present case it will be found to be productive of much good. Without the support of these honourable gentlemen, the rumoured amend ment to which we allude would be a failure ; and if Lord PALIitEKSTON does not foresee that such would be the case, we may respectfully take this oppor tunity of advising him to re-consider his intentions." I night, says that from the hot haste with which the Emperor traverses France, and reached Genoa, End his departing 'thence at once for tf .army,lt is inferred that news of importanccraai soon'be expected, and althrugh the movements of 'the 'Austrian troops are as if a retreat were eoritem- plated, they may only - be .ehoosing their grounii for a battle, which they may ndt be able to decline, -even if they:would.

Information was at once con veyed to , the proper, gnarter, on the fire being discovered, and a reel from Seel-street station proceeded to the spot. For tunately it occurred at a time of the day when there were plenty of police 'at hand, and a large body of these officers were promptly on the ground, who set to work , in' real earnest, amid the columns of smoke that issned•from the apartment in which the fire was. 'ln a short tinie it was completely extinguished, little more harm being done than the street being blockaded 'for about an hour, to the great annoyanee' of cabmen plying in that fashionable thorpugh fare.

The expenses were £24. The Mayor was requested to transmit' the balance to the Earl of ahaftesbury, chairman of the London -committee, fin distribution among the exiles. It was remarked that several subscriptions had been said from Liverpool direct to London, before it was known that a kcal fund w4suld be raised. - THE ;SEAT, OF WAR. —Messrs. "George Phillip and. Son, of South Castle-street, have published a compact and convenient pocket map of the dominions of Austria, Italy, Sardinia and Parma. It is admirably ,got up in all that regards: mechanical ezeeution, and appears, so far as one can judte from it cursory study, to be perfectly accurate in its details. There' is a:peculiar distinctness in the manner in which the boundaries of the different territories are shewn, which will be found a very useful help to thoSerwho have no more than a general outlined knowledge of the "countries to which now the attention of the world is directedi The Ticino, which holds much the same position in the present struggle as the Lech which divided the Imperial from the Swedish army at a memorable point of the Thirty Years' War, is shewn Upon a somewhat enlarged scale in iorder to convey to the,strident a quicker and more ; facile perception of the central features of the campaign. At the Present time, when spurious and worthless Maps of the seat 'of war are being shoWered over the 'public in all ' directions, there is especial advantage in being able to obtain upon cheap terms one which bears so safe a guarantee for its aCcuracy as the name of a house like that of Messrs. 'Philip. THEATRE,ROYAL.—We.have-already noticed the fact that Mr. and !Mrs. Barney Williams have triumphed over hot Weather and bright eveninos, by succeeding in gathering a large assemblage every night in-• the Theatre Royal. The pit and, galleries have invariably been crowded. Only one new piece has, we believe, been pr4duced, and that a merely pleasant !trifle designed to place, in amusing contrast, th e specialties of the two leading performers. Mrs Williams has considerably ^ improved in lightness and grace as a ,danseuse since her previous appearance in Liverpool, and may now fairly be allowed to have added this to her. many other accomplishments and attractions. She does not, however, Succeed-in any other character to the same degree as in her Yankee parts. In venturing upon, other imperso nations, she seems to forfeit much of her distinctiveness, force, and spontaniety. Her American characters have become one of the peculiarities and special featnres of - the stage at the present day, and she yields up much of her best points of advaiitag,e when venturing 'upon any other national delineations. Mr. Williams sings, dances, and makes fun, as amusingly as ever ; and only fel: the too frequent extravagances and the occasional coarseness to which we have already more than once alluded, would be unexcepticinable in the impersonation of certain phases of Irish stage character.. The engagement of these clever performers will last through next week. , . ZOOLOGICAL GARDEzis.—This place of amusement con tinues to sustain its popular character, as well as to deserve even more than the large amount of patronage it nightly receives. The variety of attractions, and the extent of amusement afforded within the gates, naturally suggests the question, "how can it p a y ?" O n th e num b er o f visitors such-a, desideratum must depend, and the public will be consulting their own interest, as well as that of the spirited proprietor, by extending their patronage to such an excellent place of amusement, where not only the senses may be gratified—the mind renewed after daily exertion— but the physical powers exercised and strengthened. We were glad to, see, that a large number of youths take advantage of the' numerous appliances. for gymnastic exercises provided in the gardens ; while young ladies and gentlemen are skipping away on " the . light fantastic toe," to the music of the excellent band ; while others are having a shot with the bow and arrow ; others puzzling their wits in the maze; others admiring the wild beasts, and taking advantage of the innumerable flicilities provided for recreation and amusement. In the zoological ' department we think a judicious alteration might be made. There are a large number of splendid lions ; two of these would be sufficient, and the rest might be exchanged for other animals of different species, and thus give "a gr ea t er variety. We hope to see such a hange soon effected, and that the public will duly appreciate the spirited efforts of the proprietor. DEATH OF MRS. SHERIDAN MUAPRATT.—" Death a few days since deprived society of one of its most precious orna ments —a lady to whom appertainedall the attributes which add lustre to 'beauty and,goodness. The name of Cushman is now eternally associated with the higher drama ; and, when the gifted lady who bears that name took first rank in the first class of her profession, her sister, Miss Susan Cushman, shone like a vision on the same boards with her, realising, in the fair child of Verona, the Juliet, who might have been imagined but never seen on the stage before. To the great regret of the public Dr. Sheridan Muspratt deprived it of anticipated delights for . years ; but the high qualities which fascinated the audience blessed a happy home, and charmed a large circle of admiring and loving friendS. Death never laid its hands on a more dignified or a more accomplished creature.; and the grief of relatives and friends is necessarily increased by a fate so premature and unexpected. A few Sundays since she caught cold in returning from church, and although the best skill of London and Liverpool was procured, it proved fatal on Tuesday morning. When Miss Cushman heard of her sister's illness, she hastened from Rome, and arrived in time to join with her other relatives in affording to the dear deceased such melancholy consolation as could be su ppli e d by the presence of those she most loved."— May 11, 1859. Extract from the Liverpool Daily Post, LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. Amen.icarr MAIL.—The Cunard steamer Asia will sail for New York direct this day with mails and passengers for the United States: The box at the Post-office will close at one o'clock, arid finally at two. The ReCeivirig-house on the Landing-stage will:be open until three p.m., on the payment of the usual late fee. CRESCENT CHAPEL LITERARY SOCIETY.—The usual weekly meeting of the above society was held in the school room, William-Henry-street, on Wednesday evening last, when Mr. Baxter read a very hUmorous paper on " ' 'Snobs and Snobbery," in which he exposed' the cant and hurnbug . - of society lc the present day. A MA.N . DizowRED.—A man, named James Prush, be longing to the ship C. C. Duncan, in the Stanley-doek, was 'drowned-in the dock. The deceased was seen sober at twelve o'clock at night, and at half-past two a splash was heard, when the deceased was seen in the water. He was got out in three-quarters of an hour, but quite dead. A. Wan-ray PAIB..—The jockey who "shot a-head " on the race-course, has been sentenced to three years' imprison ment, along with the man who ". iiellighted a tale."

It has had to contend at once against the sunny weather and the presence of peculiar popular attractions in the other'theatre. Nevertheless, the entertainments' at the Amphitheatre have been - excellent of their kind, and most attractively varied. Besides Harry Boleno's admirable company, and 'the troupe of wonderfully trained dogs, the Amphitheatre now possesses some performers in its regular company which would be a credit even to a metropolitan house. ci SYMPATIIT WITH A VENGEANCE.—" WEL9II ENO- —We copy the following inscription, which it seems was engraved on a timepiece presented to Sir W. W. Wynn and his lady, bytheir tenantry : —" Presented to Sir Watkin and Lady Williams Wyan by the tenantry residing in the Wynnstay district, as a mark of their sincere respect and their sympathy for the destruction of Wynnstay by fire.— May 9, 1859." The Welsh are an enthusiastic and grateful people, and the exuberance of their gratitude, in this instance, goes .entirely with the " fire " and the " de struction' of the famous Wynnstay Castle, and not to the noble owners for the loss of it: • - EXTRAORDINARY VISITATION. —Yesterday, a worthy individual, supposed to be an alderman, was proceeding from the direction of the Town-hall, down Castle-street, when he was strtWk with an original idea, the force of which knocked him down' on the flags. He was imme diately taken-to his residence, and, on examination, it was found that the missile had entered the frontal bone over the right eye, and took a slanting direction, coming out behind the left. ear. . His attendants are fall of hope as to his ultimate recovery, as his head had been impervious to any thing of the sort heretofore. The miscreantwho perpetrated the offence is not yet in custody, but Mr. Carlyle, the " handsothe young detective," is in hot pursuit of him ! " SAFETY IN OUR STREETS."—" rn proportion to the increase of our commerce of our population the danger of passing along the thoroughfares rises, and almost in direct proportion to competition in trade the enlargement of premises does the risk to human life increase in the insecurity of buildings." - The above specimen of "fine writing" is copied literally from a Castle-street contem porary. Now Daniel could prophecy, and Joseph interpret, dreams ; but if either lived at present, and that the one had all the wise men of Babylon to back him, and the other the magicians of Egypt, we defy the whole squad-to - unravel the sentence which is given, points and all, as it appears in "Print." It is so high and so fine in composition, that our poor abillity cannot approach it. Will some one tell us what it is, and the meaning thereof ? FZ )FESSOR HART.—CLAYTON HALL. —The splendid -entertainment of the Professor, which he, not inaptly, calls '" Transparent Magic," still holds sway at this pretty hall. When there are so many attractions, both in and out of door; at this fine season, it is a proof that Mr. Hart shows much imore than common, when he is able to draw such houses as assemble every night to be delighted with his / performance. He gains on the public the more he is seen, , ,Pfterer one sees hits, the desire to witness Jaim MRS. SIMRIDAN MUSPRITT.— (From the Genealogy of e l l Cushman' 3). —" Mrs. Muspratt (Susan W.

PUBLIC AfONUMENT TO THE LATE WILLIAM FITZGIII/3°....."4 ESQ., MAYO OF Coßx.—(From the Cork Excroziner.)of Sir,—As the private friend of the much lamented Mavor,,, Cork, William Fitzgibbon, Esq., I had felt a pardonable de.% cacy in putting myself in a conspicuous position in con nect with the movement now going for*ard, to place a mete °/ „.. of his high character and transcendent worth upon a be s ' s n d proud and immutable.
