SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.
DRESDEN. Monur.

In to-day's sitting of the Chamber the motives
of the proposition of M. Braun, formerly minister,
and M. Georgi in favour of Schleswig-Holstein,
were explained by M. Braun.
M. von Beust, the minister, applauded the atti-
tude of Prussia, whose overtures have everywhere
met with approval and went, and said :
" There is no doubt that the leadership of
Prussia will be supported on all aides at the ap-
proaching discussion of the question by the Federal
Diet. All the federal governments are ready to
act in accord with Prussia, and even if necessary
to take the field."

In consequence of this declaration the Chamber
declared it useless to proceed to a disco ion of the
proposal of MM. Braun and Georgi.

INDIA.

ceived at the India-Office :
"BENARES, DEC. 11, 1580.

"The Governor-General will hold a durbar at
Bewares to-day for the reoeption of the Maharaja
of Benares and the principal native gentlemen of
the neighbourhood.
"A deputation of about 100 of the most influen-
tial merchants of Benares voluntarily waited on the
_ . . _ _

Coinmisaioner of Bemires and expressed entire con-
currence with the views of government regarding
the income-tax. They gave in schedules of their
property before the returns were issued.

" The amount of duty collected on opium passes
at Indere during the season just closed was—rupocs
2 crone, 19 lacs, and 92,000—the largest amount
yet obtained in Maly*.

" A supplemental treaty with the Nizam regard-
ing the assigned districts has been signed at Hyder-
abad.

" The scarcity is severvly felt in the upper part
of the north-western provinces, especially about
Delhi and Agra. Employment is being largely
given by government.
"The crops below A:lalubsd and in Oude are
abundant, and much grain is being exported to the
upper provinces.

" BOMBAY, Dsc. 12, 1860.

"A disturbance on account of the income-tax
occurred at Surat on November 29. The magis-
trate and superintendent of police promptly re-
paired to the spot and restored order. Several per-
sons found closing their shops were arrested and
brought to trial.
"A riotous demonstration against the income-
tax also occurred at Bassein, in the Tanna oolleeto-
rate, on the sth of December. The leaders have
been arrested and are now on trial. Quiet has been
restored.

MUSIC.

]:OPAL ENGLISH OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN.

Mr. Alfred Mel lon'A )pt..ra, Victori.u, which, it will
be remembered, was produced with much success at this
theatre lest season, was performed last evening with two or
Om changes in the cast ; the great change being the ap-
pe.uunce of Miss Louisa l'yue iu the character of victoria.
We need scarcely remind our readers that this errs is
founded on the famous Adelphi melodrama of therms this,
in which the late Yates made such an impression on
the public by her beautiful out impressive impersonation
of the heroine. The sibject of the tuclodramit is closely
followed in the opera. V ictoriue, • poor sempstress, is
sorely beset by the temptations thrown in her way by a rich
seducer, but determines, before yielding, to "sleep upon
it." She sleeps ; and her sleep is A dream of a course of
life, beginning in gaiety and splendour, and terminating in
ruin, shame, and dro.puir ; an accumulation of horrors from
which she escapes by the simple action of waking. Mr.
Mellon's music is simple, melodious, graceful, and free from
03004 affected imitations ,of the French school which are
too frequent among our composers teethe English stage. The
character of Victorine is perfectly fitted for Miss Louisa
Fyne. She looked and acted the little griseffe charmingly,
and in the concluding scenes of the terrible dream showed
tr.‘gic powers of a high order. She rang beautifully : the
asvatins, in particular, at the beginning of the second act,
" oh, bright were my visions," was a piece of the mat
brilliant vocalisation, and was ealternently moored. Mr.
Henry Haigh acted the part of Michel with intelligence and
feeling ; and his two principal ballads—" This flower, dear
maid," and " The heart that is too lightly woo"—were en.
cored with much warmth, and very deservedly. The tragi-
comic pert of Hector—the desperate ruffian in whom the
spirit of the old soldier is not wholly extinct—was
vigorously acted by Mr. H. Corn ; and Mr. Wharton gave
considerable effect to the part of the seducer, Julian, in
which he appeared for the first time. On the whole, this
Inc. been a judicious and successful reproduction of a ster.
ling English work.

LAMBETH,

The court was much crowded by members of the
theatrical profession at the adjourned hearing of the sum-
mons taken out by Mr. B. Webster against Mr. Morton, of
Canterbury-hail Evidence was given, relating priocipally
to the nature of a piece called " The Enchanted Hash,"
performed at the hall, and after hearing which the worthy
magistrate gave his judgment as follows :—This is a sum-
mons against Mr. Morton, the proprietor of Canterbury-
hall, for keeping a place of public resort for the perform-
ance of stage plays without being duly licensed, and the
question for me to decide is whether this is • stage play
within the meaning of the provisions of the Act of Parlia-
ment 6 and I Vict. Upon the best consideration that I
have been enabled to give the matter—havieg
had an opportunity of looking over the oases
quoted, and the law on the subject, gime the last time this
11 question was before me—l have come to the conclusion
that I am bound by the decisiun of the Court of Queen's
Bench, and therefore I bold that this is the performance of
• stage play within the meaning of the interpretation clause
of the act before me, the words of which are, " stage
plays shall be taken to include every tragedy, comedy,
farce, opera, burletta, interlude, melodrama, pantomime, or
other entertainment of the stage, or any pert. thereof." The
nature of the performance in the case cited as well en in the
one before me is what is called a "duologue" between
two persons. The whole of the performance is in character,
as well as the action of the piece. I think unquestionably,
if I were to define what splay was, I should say anything
in which • person act" or represents a character and action
on any stage or platform, or any public place
of the sort. Unquestionably in my own opinion this
is a play. The teeniest counsel who appeared for the
defendant, and who has so ably conducted his case, raid
there was • distinction between the MIS quoted and this,
inasmuch as no scenery was introduced here, and there
might have been in the other case. Whatever may have been
their notion of the case, the parties themselves have almost
concluded it by calling the perform's°e in pantomine. I have
therefore"come to the conclusion that this is au entertainment
contrary to the act of parliament. Thu case, no doubt,
itself is a harmless piece of burleeque ; and there is no
wish on the part of the prosecutor in any way to press for
a large amount of damages. lie wishes merely to have nay
decision on the legality of the performance, and Its will be
perfectly satisfied by my imposing a penalty of 5/.
Mr. Sleigh said he hoped the worthy magistrate would
not consider it disrespectful, hat it was their intention to
give notice of appeal to the next quarter sessions.

MABLBOROUGH,STREET.

ifiehael Nugent and Timothy Mafia*, two shoeblacks,
were charged before Mr. Beadon with the following shame-
ful annoyance of Mr. Henry William Hardy, of 69, Panton-
Ignale.
Mr. Hardy said that on the previous morning he was
going to Pimlico, accompanied by his little son, and having
a small dog with him. When he had got as far as the
County Fire-office a girl came up to him and said the dog
was ben, which was not the case; and the boys having
beard what the girl said, cried out, " Why don't you give
the 'girl the dog ? Who stole the dog ?" This continued
till he got as far se the Gallery of lllustntioo, when
.he
told the boys that if they did not go away he would give
them in charge. The boys said they were determined to
mob him, and then took out their brushes, evidently with
the intention of sprinkliog him, and one of them put his
hand on the dog. As there were about thirty persons at
this time following him he gave them into custody.
A constable said they did not belong to the Bhoeblack
Brigade.
11: Beadon said, if they had put a finger on either the
complainant or his son he would have put on the heaviest
penalty. He would not have them levying black mail in
this way, and should order them to find one surety each in
the sum of 101. to keep the peace for three months.

ROME.

ROHE, Oct. 8.
The autograph letter of the King of Siam to the
Pope, which has just been presented to his Roll-
MOS in a golden vase, was written in the Siamese
language, but there is a poet-scriptum in English,
in which the King apologises for not writing iu
Italian or Latin, on the ground of his utter igno-
rance of those languages ; he wont' have written
the whole letter in English had time allowed, but
he composes very slowly in that language, and
could not keep the boat waiting lung enough. The
ambassadors continued to smoke till they got as far
as the Pope's antechamber, and after the audience
they began smoking again as they went down the
stairs of the Vatican.

On Wednesday next the Congregation of the
Index will sit in judgment on Father Passaglia's
pamphlet, "Pro Cates' Italica." The pamphlet
will be condemned, and Father Paseiglia will be
asked whether he ad wits the authorship.
There is not the least doubt that he will
accept the responsibility, fur he publicly
talks of his pamphlet. The next question put to
him will be whether ho submits to the judgment
of the tribunal, and if the reply should be in the
affirmative, the judgment will triumphantly record
that auctor leoulabiliter se subjerit. If, however, be
should think it advisable to demur to the juris-
diction, the fulmivations of Rome against him will
be only limited by the protection of General de
tioyon, which, it is reported, the rehehlious priest
is sure of. It is indeed nut likely that he would
have beau fool enough to go to Rome under present
circumstances, unless he had felt confident that his
personal liberty would be protected by the
French general. Ito has, of course, made up
his mind to be dismissed from his professor's
chair and expelled the university.
In about a fortnight's time a French court-mar-
tial will try Captain Ricci, the ex-Neapolitau officer
who was taken prisoner at Veroli, after having tired
on a French officer who opposed the progress of the
Bourbon brigands that be was leading. The King
and Queen of Naples and Cardinal Antouelli are
ming all their influence iu favour of Ricci, who
