' SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
A SPECIAL EDITION of the " EXPRESS,"
sentaining the results of the day's Races, is pub-
liehed every evening daring the Sporting 810.0011, at
sea o'clock.
Ezrzre in that portion of Italy which owns the
constitutional sway of the 1100013 of SAVOT, the
tribune has long been closed, and journalism is com-
pulsorily mute. But the ever-bubbling fountain of
popular hope wells up continually through every
chink and cranny in the stony surface of absolutism.
Do what they will, the confederates of Vienna and
the Vatican cannot extinguish the loathing that is
Alt for their usurping rale, or the longing that is
cherished for national independence. Repreesata-
tire institutions exist not, and newspapers are re-
duced by the censorship to the most abject Neolithic
of raising' : but History and the Drama are still
comparatively free, and the Academy and the Stage
become every now and then the unintentional =WI
of utterance for the burning thoughts of the na-
-1
tion. Two remarkable ebullitions of irrepremilile
feeling have recently taken place—the one at
Venice ; the other in the capital of Tuscany. la
the former city—ennobled by its glorious defence
against the Austrians in 1848, but since then die-
t clued to have been brought back to sentiments of
loyalty and love to Austria, by the winning ways of
that paternal Government—a series of dramatic repre-
sentations have been given during the present month
by Madame Itorroal. Amongst other pieces odes-

tragedy of " Judith." The theatre we. crowded. '
and the audience listened with sympathy and ed-
miration to the gradual development of indignant
courage in the Hebrew heroine. But when in the
fulness of her unrivalled power Rlsroat pronounced
the lines—" Name my name to your children, and
" tell them that the war is sacred which is waged
" by a nation against those who invade a land given
" to its defenders by their God !"—the audience rose
as one man, and gave vent to all the passionate ex-
cite's:not which the children of the Soak when deeply I
moved, are accustomed to display. It was in vain
that the graceful artist strove by her looks sad
gestures to appease their tumultuous applause, and
sought permission to resume the enactment of her
part. JUDITH and the foe of Israel seemed
swept away from their memories by the sudden
whirlwind of popular passion ; and the air was rent
with lenitive* and imprecations spinet Austria.
In the Ant subsidence of the storm, a repetition of
the magic line* wet called for. Compliance would
have been an infection of a notorious orJer of the
police, made to guard against mandates of the kind
from the *adieux*. HISTOIII hesitated for a tiro.,
and then withdrew to ask permission. The Co..
missary was absent., and to pacify her frenzied
hearers, she finally came forward and gave the
ominous words again. The anger of the authorities
is not worth describing; and it is almost superfluous
to add that the guilty play was next morning
erased free the list of pleasures permitted to the
disaffected Venetians.
In Florence a demonstration not lees enthusiastic,
although of a more genial kind, spontaneously took
place at the principal theatre not many days been.
The occesiess was the unlooked-for appearance as a
spectator of NICCOLINI, the most distinguished Italian
poet of the day. For some years previous to the
accession of the present Poscrwr be had actively
sympathised with the leaders of the Liberal party he
their aspirations for national freedom, and his pea
had been employed in the composition of various
historic pieces, through all of which there breathed
the animating love of liberty. When Pits IX.
assumed the leadership of Progressive Reform,
many of the Liberals like 010111111T1 believed the true
path of their country's salvation had been found.,
while many more distrusted " the Grecian gift," and
avowed their disbelief that any lasting political
freedom could some hoe the Papacy. To the latter
opinion NICCOLINI vehemently adhered. A schism
arose between those who had formerly been friends ;
the prescient vision of the poet revealed to him dimly
the fatal fruits of the illusion to which his credulous
companions had given themselves up; and the dis-
sawn nese of the reactionary struggle which so
speedily ensued laid his spirit prostrate in despair.
111-natured people gave out that he was mad, and
the obstinacy of his seclusion from the world tended
to confirm the impression. Of late it has been ru-
moured, however, that the patriarchical dramatist'
was neither demented nor idle, and that the world I
would ere lag have proofs that his pea had
not forgot its cunning. Whether the streaks
of another dawn, which seem once MVP
visible in the Florentine sky, contributed to awaken
him to his old energy, and to Are him back to the
once loved haunts of men, we know not. All we
learn is, that upon his entering the crowded theatre
the other evening his ketone were at once recog-
nised, and he wee saluted by the whole house with
the most vociferous cheering. Some days after a
new tragedy by Ntiacouzst was produced, seder the

and finest image, were intuitively applied by the
audience to their own condition. The Cushrisas
were to them but the types of the modern Germain,
