_ Kiel of the 30th of says :
According to what we have just learnt here the
Austrian squadron will soon come to the Bay of
Kiel to reinforoe the war vest of Prussia, wlsick,
in order to escape the superior maritime forces of
Denmark, have taken refuge in the Dqtch ports.
The arrival of an English squadron of observation
in our port its also regarded as very probable. Ar-
rangements are even being made at this moment
to collect in the magazines a large quantity of coals
and food for the supply of the British fleet.
The English vowels will thus be placed in a posi-
tion of observation aide by side with those of the
Austrians and Prussians in the same bay, and if,
as is not improbable, these lest make their appear-
ance before Copenhagen it cannot be doubted that
they will be followed by the British naval forces.
It is not to be inferred, however, from these differ-
ent movements that a collision will take place be-
tween the ships of the powers represented in the
North Sea. Has not England superabundantly
proved of late that she is by no means disposed to
intervene actively in the present war in favour of
Denmark r

It will probably have been telegraphed to London
that the Coalitions Bill was voted yesterday by 222
against M. The latter figdre represents little
more than the standing opposition. The govern-
ment members, who, being interested in manu-
factures, are morbidly afraid of coalitions, and
thought M. 011ivier's report too liberal, did not,
for the most part, give effect to their opinions and
speeches by their vote. The names of Baron David
(one of the numerous unrecognised members of
the imperial family), Kolb Bernard, and Seydoux
form, however, exceptions to the above
observation. MM. Berryer and Thies and
the three Pereires and several other de-
puties purposely abstained from voting. M. 011i-
vier, whose isolated position must be most
distressing to himself, found but one supporter,
K Darimon, among his old friends. Even K
Picard, who owes his seat to him, and was for six
years his most faithful henchman, deserted him on
this occasion, and voted with the opposition. A
second speech by M. Jules Fevre, just before the
division, greatly widened the breach between
M. 011ivier and his party.

The news given in the Monifeur du Soir that the
Conference which was to have met to-day for such
solemn and urgent purposes has been pat off on
account of the "drawing-room" is truly astonish-
ing. French readers may possibly suppose that
the drawing-room was some unexpected event, but
of course it is known in London that those who
fixed Tuesday for the Conference knew at the same
time that it was the drawing-room day.
The Monde publishes the text of a decree of the
sacred congregation of rites promulgated by the
sovereign pontiff, which declares to be authentic
"three miracles performed through the intercession
of the venerable Marie Marguerite Alacoque, and
submitted to the examination of the sacred
congregation for the beatification of the vener-
able servant of God." In this document it is stated
that "on the day when, consumed by seraphic
ardour, she flew towards the ineffable embraces of
the heart of Jesus, the Lord resolved that the
eminent glory which his spouse had attained in
heaven should be manifested upon earth by signs
and wonders." Accordingly, at her intercession,
three miracles were achieved ; Sister Marie Therese
Petit was instantaneously and completely cured of
an aneurism ; Sister Marie de Sales Charault of an
internal cancer in tentricuio ; and Sister Marie
Heloise of a tuberculous phthiais of the lungs."
This decree is a great triumph for the jesuits,
Sister Marie Macaque having been the promoter
of the worship of the sacred heart, which
the rev. fathers devised in the seventeenth
century to annoy the Jansenista, and ex-
cite the people to take part in the jacobite
crusade against the heretical William IIL It may
now, in 1864, be said with greater truth than ever
that if the Pope reigns the jesuits govern.
Midi's. Patti has just come of age, and it is
stated that one of the first acts of her majority was
to settle an annuity of 6,000 fr. a year upon her
father, and another to the like handsome amount
upon her mother.

A letter from the East states that the notorious
Captain Doineau, who has taken service in China,
was wounded at the siege of f3anteheou.

A rumour is current that both Garibaldi's sons
are at this moment in Paris.

The Bourse was very weak ; but a fall of 27fr.
50c. in Mobilier is the principal change in quota-
tions.

MUSIC.

-
HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Germap opera, Die lustigen Weiber now
Windsor (The Nerrrhrivee of Windsor) was produced last
night in an Italian version, and under the title of Iretete.
%hews is not new : it has long beta known in Germsey,
bat is a novelty to the English public. We 'appose we ere
indebted for its production at this time to the tercentenary
aelebration of our peat dramatist's birth; for, after
having been overlooked for many years, it was
this year simultaneously announced by the managers
of both the Italian theatres in their peen'
programmes of the meson. It is omisinly worthy of being
imported, for it is a lively sad pleased piece, sad the
musts is se agnseable as the drama. It has bees hmeght
out at her Majesty's Theatre with great care— was ad-
mirably premised lest sight, and its recreptem was each
se to give peonies of a successful run.
The Merry Wives were permeated by Tithes and Bettel-
hsen, the first being Mrs. Peed, the mead Mrs.. Page.
They both looked delightfully in their sugar leaf hate and
other attire of the foerteenth century ; acted with great
adman and spirit, ►nd sang most charmingly. They were
ementisly different in manner. Molds. Bettelbeim bad the
larger share a impulse and vivacity, while Thiene
bad more the air of a yosthful mama, with
stronger and more emosnested expression. Riper
Junce's Falstaff was hardly °' tip to the mark.' HI acting
was intelligent, sad hie singing was good ; but hie meaner
was not unfrequently as heavy as his person, and his voice,
in the lower part of the scale, was deficient in tone. featley
was an excellent Ford ; hie picture of a jealem husband,
under a comic aspect, was admirable, and nag superbly.
Fenton, as we ham mid, is a mere singing part, bat Ging-
lini wing exquisitely ; and his air, " Nal brochette t rani&
stoics" Fentea's serenade seder Aaae's window, was war-
bled so deliciously that it was rapturously incised. Arnim
the other things that were especially effective were
the duet, " Del too more," sting by Thiene and Bettelheim
in the first seem ; the animated and very dramatic finale
to the first act, Minder TitieMs air, " Ah, ah, ah !" with
which that finale begins ; the very Sae duet between Anne
Page and Fenton, " Sempre in dubbin," sung by Mdlle.
Vitali and (Anglia ; and the legend of Herne the Heater,
rung by Mdlle. Betteiheim with remarkable spirit and
quaintness. The fairy music in the last seem is full of ',-
minimums of Mendelasohn's Nielsessater Night's Dream ;
unconscious reminiscences probably, but they are unfortu-
nate, as they rely betrayed the inferiority of the composer's
pram
The mac en scene is splendid and beautiful. The scene
in Windsor Forest by moonlight, with Herne's oak rearing I
IL scathed trunk in the foreground, is of itself well worth a
visit to the theatre, even were there nothing else to see or
hear.

THE OAPJBALDI MEETING ON PRIMROSE-

HILL.

This morning a return was made to parliament
of the reports of the saperiatendest and inspector in con.
