The visit of Mrs. Roseleaf and her family to the
seasside to recruit, after the fatigue of their " Even-
ing Party," has furnished Mr John Parry with
materials, for the canstruction of a cow descriptive
story, in which his great skill, both as a musician
and a mimic, is displayed with the best effect. The
novelty is introduced by a "saline symphony," and
this enables Mr Parry to show the great command
he possesses over the pianoforte, and et the same
time allows him to introduce a variety of marine
melodies, such as " What are the wild waves
saying," " Over the sea," " 0 'tis pleasant to float,"
and the " Bay of Biscay," all of which were sung
in the most irresistibly comic manner. The humour
of the musical narrative is divided into parts, viz.,
sea-bathing, promenading on the cliffs, boating
and yachting on " the expansive ocean," strol-
ling on the sands, &c., &c., and thus Mr. Parry
introduces all those "characters" peculiar to
the sea-side during the height of the summer
season. For example, we have Mrs. Ducker,
the old bathing-guide, the terror of the juveniles ;
then the organ-grinders; next the Italian with his
"playful" monkey; then, again, Miss Gush-
ingten, the sentimental spinster, given 0 moon-
light rambles, in the vain hope of securing
" one fond heart ;" and a variety of others, the
peculiarities of which are Lit off by Mr. Parry
with the utmost fun and drollery. The narrative
is a very acceptable addition to the " Pyramid'' and
the "Bard and his Birthday," and one which we
can safely commend to the attention of the pleasure-
seekers of the metropolis.

A REWARD FROM THE SWEDISH GOVERNMENT

PRUSSIA ANTI➢ GERMANY,

ST. PETERSBURG, JUNE 30,

The semi-official Deutsche Peterburger Zeitung
of to-day, in a leading article favourable to Ger-
many, says :—" It would be inconsistent, on the
part of England, to wage war against Germany, as
she took no active steps when the German Powers
rejected the Treaty of London of 1852, and eubse•
quently occupied Schleswig and Jutland. England
ought logically to advise Denmark to yield to Ger-
many."

ITALY.
TURIN, JUNE 29 (Evening

In the Chamber of Deputies to•day the Minister
of Finance stated that he bad been able partly to
carry out his financial programme, although he
had been in part unsuccessful.
Respecting the deficits for 1864 and 1865, he
would be able to provide for them by the sale of
Crown lands to the value of 200 million lire, and
by the sale of the State railways, without having
recourse to a loan.

The Alioister showed that he has effected
reductions in the budget of expenditure to the
amount of forty million lire, and that after the
vote upon the new constitutional laws had been
taken the reduction would reach 100 millions.
The revenue derived from the income•tax was
regularly increasing.

The Government and the nation could not accept
the policy proposed by Signor S.trraco—viz., dia•
armament. The Ministerial programme was still that
announced by the Cabinet oncoming into office—viz„
to hold themselves ready to take advantage of poli
ilea', events in Europe, in order to bring about the
realisation of the destinies of Italy. (Applause.)
Signor Sarraco protested against the interpreta-

tion given by the Minister to his political pro
gramme, and declared that he had no intention of
proposing a policy of disarmament.
