the Leopoldine laws.
The Florence correspondent of the Opinione of
Turin, in noticing the Ministerial change that hss
just occurred in Tuscany, states that the new Mini-
ster of Public Instruction is a descendant of the
illtlStriUS MICHEL ANGELO BUONAROTTI. M. Bac-
CELLA has been intrusted with a special mission to the
King of NAPLES.
" A letter from Rome of the 23d," says the De-
bas, ‘i states that the prince DE HOHENLOHE, Cham-
berlain to the Pora, and two other Prelates, were
about to start for Vienna. They will be, it is said,
the bearers of autograph letters from the POPE to the
EmrEROR. The contents of them are not known,
but it is thought that they are on subjects of serious
importance; some persons say that they are relative
to the sojourn of the Austrian and French garrisons
in the Papal States."
The Official Gazette of Savoy announces that M.
IVAN. GoLovINE, now one of the editors of the

A Frankfort journal states, from Athens, that
KORFIOTAKIS, the assassin of the Minister of Public

The other three prisoners were acquitted, a decision
which has produced a bad impression on the public

OLYMPIC
--
uI,YIVIPIC THEATRE.
Several well-known elements are reproduced in the
new " ccmedy"
under the title of Sink or Swim. A well-dispositioned
brought out at this theatre last night,
nobleman, eaten up with ennui, and terribly in want
of a sensation, is tempted to endhis visionary miseries
by plunging
into a river, but at the fatal crisis he
encounters an old merchant, who, ruined by his part-
ner, meditates a similar kind of suicide. The folly
strikes
of such an act in his neighbour, who would thus
leave a wife and daughter to buffet with the world,
him at once, and he enters into a whimsical
compact with the merchant, by which he undertakes
to restore the solvency of his house on the condition
that they meet again on the banks of the stream the
following
night to mutually complete the task of self-
immolation. An introduction to the merchant's house
follows, and the young Lord, as a matter of course,
not only
falls in love with the daughter, but rescues
her from the clutches of a seducer. The exer-
tion
attendant on these important operations, and
the ' new class of emotions which doing a good
action and revelling in a pair of bright eyes
are calculated to awaken, restore the blasé peer to
his senses, and he becomes a wiser man, and thinks
no more of drowning himself. His better nature is
further tested by a stroke of pseudo adver-
sity, the contrivance of a humorist uncle, who, to
cure him of his mental and bodily inactivity, projects
a story by which he is apparently deprived of rank
and station by the superior claims of his gardener.
The piece, written by Mr. Thomas Morton, contains
some amusing points, the part of the gardener, sus-
tained by Compton with his usual dryness and comi-
cality,
extravagance. Mr. Hoskins, us the yawning lord,
being extremely diverting, notwithstanding its
and Mr. G. Cooke as his sensible, matter-of-fact
uncle, were both as good as they need be; and Mr.
Farren played the bankrupt merchant with a ridiculous
mixture of wo.ggery and pathos, though how far
these two extremes were apropos to the circumstances
of the case we are unable to guess. Mrs. Walter
Lacy was a fitting representative of the sentimental
young lady who helps to amend the aristocratic idler
'and invigorate him with kindlier views of life. The
piece was quite successful; and was loudly applauded
at the close.

Miss lllirriet Gordon made her first appearance at
voice, this theatre, id Gertrude in The Loan of a Lover,
and with very great success. She is gay and agree-
able
with
ness of manner and an aptitude for vaudeville acting
some pleasing notes in it, and hits a liveli-
which are likely to make her a considerable favourite.

The enormous tortoise at the Surrey Zoological

In all probability it is several centuries old, though we will
not go the length of pronouncing it antediluvian.

THE TERRACE' PIER) GRAVESEND, AND ITS TOLLS.
—A case cameon On Saturday before the magistrates at
Gravesend involving a question as to the right of charging
toll upon
the Terrace-pier. It seems that the Commis_
sooners of the pier . have let 1"t
to a Mr. Lawrence Levy, for
theurpose of a promenade and dancing-room. Mr. Levy has
been in the habit of charging 2,1- each person, but he has no
right to charge any one who may chance to land from a
's boat, and pass over the pier. On the 22d of
waterrnan men, Messrs.:

aftcr nine o'clock at night,_ and upon ascending the steps a

which they refused to Pay. The boy, who turned out to be
a son of Lawrence Levy, obstructed their passage. Mr.
