PRINCESS'S.

When Mr. Charlonke;;;;tter a series of nine
hard-working years, gives up the management of the
Prtsceir's Theatre, end before retiring to his lettered wan
nukes the round of the provincial theatres, giving, in tech,
his moat celebrated representation', we have little doubt
that, in his Shakesperi.ill repertory at least, Bamkt will be
the character in which he will find moot favour. The lavish
outl►y which he has expended on scenic effect and costume
will all remain for the benefit of the future proprietor of the
Oxford-street theatre, and whatever success is obtained in
the omintry will be doe to Mr. Kaan's original talent of con-
ception and power of execution. We have so recently monied
hie Hamlet, which was revisit' last night for the first time
this season, that a mere record of the fact would be Aimee
sufficient. The tame great potato" created the usual
amount of enthusiasm, and the audience, which crammed the
house to the ceiling, applauded, not only with energy, but
with a discrimination which did them great credit. Mrs.
Kean played the Queen admirably, and Miss Heath was a
very interesting Ophelis. With the substitution of Mr. F.
Matthews for the late Mr. Barley, the cast was the same as
en the previous repreirstation.

A boy, named John listworth, was charged with dealing

Bishop Carr identified the handkerchief. and stated that

UNEASINESS AT VIENNA.

A correspondent writes from Vienna on the 7th :

"The recent new@ from Lombardy occasions very
great uneasiness. Hitherto the general public and
the speculators at the Bourse had not taken alarm,
but the news of the departure of the Archduchess
Charlotte from Milan, the apprehensions of a rising
in Lombardy, which are expressed by every military
man who arrives from that country, and the rumours
(less well founded) that the Archduke Maximilian
was about to resign the governorship of the Lem.
bardo-Venetian provinces, and finally the despatch of
• large body of troops to Italy—have deeply moved
public opinion. The six regiments of infantry which
leave for Italy are the Proharker, Don Miguel,
Belgian, Heine Etienne, and Lichtenstein. The
two regiments of cavalry which accompany them
are the Civilart Mains: and the King of Prussia's
Hussars. Two battalions of Chaseenrs, six batteries
of artillery, and a body of engineers, also form part
of the expedition. In the army the rumours of war
find kw credence than with the public. The mili-
tary do not believe that Piedmont will ever dare to
attack Austria, and they are of opinion that a re-
volt in Lombardy would be put down at once. But
the public, which has watched the turn of politics
since the Crimean war, which has observed the
course taken by Russia, and endeavoured to study
the tendencies of European monarchs, is persuaded
that there is danger of most serious complications."
A telegraphic despatch from Vienna states that
the 30,000 Austrian soldiers on their way to Italy
have received orders to stop provisionally at
Laybach.
" Notwithstanding successive denial' in the minis-
terial journals," says • Vienna letter, " a general
conviction prevails here that the government intends
to contract a new loan of 100 millions of florins
(260,000,000[r.). The money market is under the
impression of this idea, as the loan is indispensable
to enable the government to fulfil its engagement
with the National Bank."

PIEDMONT.

In an order of the day, addressed to the national
guards of Turin, by their general, on the occasion
of the opening of the chambers, the following pas-
sage occurs:

" May your presenoe here, and your fine appear-
ance under arms, be a pledge of your firmness, and
a certain vritnees that on every occasion, and in
every canoe, the nation may rely upon you. Viva
the Statute! Viva Italia!"

MI:110(160N, President of the Society, in the chair.
Amongst those present were his Excellency Admiral van
Duchum, Danish Minister; General D'Oxholin, of Copen-
hagen General Sir H. Jae«, Sir W. C. Trevelyae, the
Berl of Sheffield, Lord HISIIN General Sir T. Phillips,
Colonel Sykes, M.P., Mr. Ayrton, M P., Colonel Evereet,
Colonel Galvin, Mr. Villiers, M.P.,
The PREMDENT reed excracta of a letter which be bad
fawned from Dr. Livingstone. The extracts were of
similer import to those which hove recently appeared in the
Daily Now...
Mr. Scow, the Secretary, then read • paper " On the
&untried Expedition, from the JoAnne' of ?Sr. Banat,"
communicated by Dr. Livingstone. The journal commenced
on the 25th of June, and consisted of several interning bat
minute observations made from day to day by the writer.
The expeditioo enjoyed excellent health, and though they
know then. was hard work before them, they looked forward
with a confident hope of rooter.
Mr. Mlle., t.oit Lento, who designed the little steam-
vessel which accompamed the expedition, explained that he
designed it tot a draught of 16 inches, and not for a draught
of 2 feet 6 itches. It wee never designed to carry more
than one or two days' coal, awl it should have been em-
ployed entirely In towing. The vereel wee overloaded.
(Hear, bar.) With mad to the Zambesi, he did not be-
lieve that it was capable of being node a channel for coin-
menial intercourse.
. Mr. NPLeon, our consul at Mecanebique, said he dif-
fered from Mr. Laird as to the cepeldlity of the Zembeti es a
mesas of commercial intercourse.. end believed it cos navi-
gable for at least eight months out of the twelve. The
Inset woods—of which be brought home twenty-six speci-
mens from the Mozambique—cotton, oil, ivory, minerals,
end other useful products, were to be had in abwidarce, and
mercantile men had only to turn their attention to that part
of Africa to make it most advantsgento and profitable m a
commercial point of view. (Hear, beer.)
Mr. CitAWFoRD did not believe the Zambesi was navigable
for cominercial purposes. He did not think that the cotton
of Africa would mit Manchester, and never heard that wheat
grew between the tropics end at the level of the sea.
Mr. 14.Qvarer and Colonel greys, M.P., mode some
observations, and gave instances within their own repartee°,
of wbest growing within the tropical and at the level of
the pea.

S. G. Squire, of the Patted States ; and a " Journal of a

" This evening at 9 &clack the marriage by pro-
curation of the Duke of Calabria, the heredits,y
prince of Naples, with the Prinvess Maria-Sophia-
Amelia of Bavaria, wee solemnly performed with
great pomp."

The King of the Two Sic'lice hu provisionally
settled au income of 160,000 ducats upon the
Prince, expressing his intention to augment it
whenever the necessity of an augmentation may
be shown by experience, and more particularly in
the case of his having issue (cello eoprarressienza di
prole). When the present King was Duke of
Calabria, his dotation was 600,000 ducats, but his
'Majesty has declared that he means to regulate the
income of his son by the state of the treasury.

CM OF LONDON GENERAL TENSION
SOCIBTF.

A special general meeting of the governors and
subscribers to this institution was held yesterday, at the
Loodon Terra ; Mr. BENJAMIN BOND CANSELL In the
chair.
The meeting having been convened in consequence of an
intimation th►t it was is contemplation to woke certain
alteration' in the rules of the isciety, a lengthened debate
emceed on the subject, in the course of which several
sorer-core caprered their approval of the conduct of Mr.
Acheson, the secretary, who had cominuoicate] to the go-
vernors and surenber the substance of the proposed alter.
rictus.
Mr. Jou NOON, a governor, moved a eerie, of resolutions,
to the effect that is the opinion of the meeting it ens inex-
pedient to make the proposed alterations in the constitution
of the society, that the amount of the pensions Irvin., been
reduced they be restored to their former amount, end that
with that view immediate steps be taken to increase the
funded capital, and to consolidate the Came into one stock.
A CiOVEKNOK inquired whether Mr. Acheron wets still the
secretary, as upon inquiry at the ethos that morning he hod
been informed that he w. no Urger cassocked with it.
The CHAIIIMAN said he could not say whether Mr.
Acheson we. or wan not the secretery, but that es be bed
been appointed by the governors he presumed that no one
could il UWIIII him bat the governors.
Several gentlemen said that Mr. Acheson bad done no
more than his duty in acquainting the eurcribers with the
state of their affairs, and Met he wee entitled to the thanks
of the meeting.
• The CH A lUMAN rid that he had an objection to the re.-
Iris], but ho thought the May wee bound to let the public
knew its precise peeitios. No mat could regret more than
be d;d that arteries& were ►educed, foe seen the reduction
of a few Wilier a week we. a minas matter to a peer MAD.
At the me Uri it mid be impossible to keep them up
wither the seemery fonds. He thought, however, it wee
of the unmet Importance that so false impreriose should be
conveyed to the public. The mire. were sow not more
then two-thereof what they were, and it was quite neer-
eery that the friends of the society and the public should he
aware of the feet.
After some further &curios the resolutions were agreed
to, and after a vote of thstiks to the chairmen the proceed-
ings teemisard.

A CHANCERY VICTIM.

At the Leicester quarter sessions, the other day,
the report of the visiting justices referred toe moot eetraor-
denary e.se., in which a poor woman, who bad been engaged
in a chncery suit, wee the victim. She had been detained in
gaol for newel months on account of the non-delivery of
certain papers which her attorney had neglected to deliver
Oyer when he ceased to act because all her money wee en-
ponied. The magistrates regarded the case as • seen-
dalously cruel one; but they did not tee that the court
could do anything further than had been Joao already.
The deputy clerk of the peace has einoe addressed • letter
to • Leioester paper, detailing the ciecunntances. He
Mated that the poor woman was advanced in years, a
widow, having children and grandchildren. She was emit
to preen for not obey tug as order of the Court of Chaneery,
directing her to depoett in court certain title deed' and
' other documents for the inepection of the attorney on the
other side. When she received a paper directing her to
leave the documents with the clerk of records, she thought
all that was eneeeary woe to tell the person bringing the
order that she bad none of them, as they were all with her
attorney. A few days after thin the poor creature wee token
into custody ; and, as there happened to be no other female
priaoocre in the debtors' ward of Leicester gaol, the was of
neeeenty placed in solitary confinement. The deputy
clerk mates that the plaintiff+ attorney knew perfectly
well that the papers were not in the prieener's poweneion ;
and appeate were mode in vain to the prisoner's attorney
that something should be done for her rehmee. Augur
September, end October paned away • and in November
the plaintiff o attorney obtained, under counsel's opinion,
an order on the prieener's attorney to give up the title
deedo, other pope., of no value, being left In his poseession.
But still the old woman remained in gaol, " in such a state
of meth,' anguish RS was pitiable to witness." In Decem-
ber the visiting inagiatrittes took the :natter up, and placed it
in the handout the deputy clerk of the peace. He firmly be-
lieve." that • little toiler Imprisonment would have meat her
to the lunatic ssylum." The plaintiff's attorney now denied
reeponsibility in the coos ; he knew the other attorney had
the papers, and it was id fault that the poor woman had
been kept in gaol a day. The prittooer'e attorney profeeted
to hate given up all interest in her mae, and odd he had
written to her to desire her to employ some one else. He
prowied that the remaining documents ehnuld at once be
sent to London. This wee dune, and the poor woman was
at length released. She had been in prison for upwards of four
calendar motiths.—Manchester Guardian.

ROME.

The Giornale di Roma states that on New Year's-
day, General Goyon and his staff went in state to
the Vatican to pay their respect, to the Pope. The
concluding words of General Goyon's speech on this
occasion were as follows :—" In contemplating the
majesty of your throne, we admire a temporal king, I
and, what is more, the sovereign pontiff; the first
exercising, like other monarchs, his temporal autho-
rity within the limit, of his state, an authority
which we shall support with all oar might; the
second, greater still, exercising his spiritual power
over the whole universe, without any limit save that
of the globe. We therefore salute in your sacred
person both a temporal monarch and the noble and
worthy successor of St. Peter." The Pope made a
suitable reply in French.

THE FATAL DIBTURBANCR AT PARMA.
PARIS, Fatom
The following telegram, dated Oct. 6, haa been
received here from Parma:

A horrible occurrence took place yesterd,iy even-
ing. The Count Anviti, formerly colonel of the
troops of Parma, and held in detestation by the
people, was passing through Parma on his way to
Piacenza, but was recognised at the railway station
and arrested. The populace, informed of his arrest,
broke open the barracks of the gendarmerie where
he was confined, and having seised the unfortunate
count, he was dragged through the city, receiving
blows on all sides. His hands were fastened together
with a cord, and he was thus pulled through the
streets until he arrived opposite a calk that he was
in the habit of frequenting, where, whilst he was
still alive, his head was cut oft; and then carried in
triumph to the Grand Place, where it was placed on
the top of a column. The cries of joy of the popu-
lace increased the terrors of the situation. The
nationsl guard and the troops were called out, but
arrived when all was over. At 9 o'clock in the
