SURREY.

A new sensational drama, in three actg, entitled," The
Orange Girl," was produced at this theatre last evening
with great success. The plot turns upon the persecution a
poor but honest engraver is compelled to undergo, for re-
fusing to complete a plate for the production of forged notes.
The acting throughout by Miss Pauncefort, Miss Jenny
Willmoro, Mr. Anderson, and Mr. Shepherd, and the other
performers engaged in the piece, was all that could be
desired. They were called for at the close of each act, and
were also specially honoured by being called before the cur-
tain at the termination of the drama. The scenery was
exceedingly good, especially the Loganstono and Frozen
Pool in the Druid Valley of Dean Burn, the Exterior of
the Guildhall in the city of Exeter, and the Convict Settle-
ment in the Isle of Portland—the artists being Mr. Wil-
liam and Mr. Albert Callcntt, The drama was given out by
Mr. Shepherd for repetition every night this week. The
house was crowded in every part.

forth a political necessity, but being convinced that
its benefits are greatly superior to its inconveniences
The Ministerial declaration acknowledges the
grave sacrifices involved in the transfer cf the
capital; bat as the result of this measure will be
the removal of foreign troops from Italian soil,
and the preparation of a satisfactory solution of the
Roman question, it is in the name of the national
dignity,
independence, and unity that these sacri4
fives are called for:
The diplomatic documents communicated to the
Chamber are the Convention and the protocols of
the 15th September and 30th October, two notes
from Signor Visconti-Venosa to the Chevalier di
Nigro, a note from the latter to the former, and the
declaration of the late Ministry to the King.
The note of Chevalier di Ni gra to Signor Vise
conti-Venosta, laid upon the table of the Chamber
of Deputies to-day, relates the history of the ne-
gotiations upon the Franco-Italian Convention. He
states that, the French Government demanded in
addition to a promise not to attack Pontifical ter-
ritory, some real guarantee, in order to inspire the
Pope with confidence in the Catholic sentiment of
the Ring of Italy.
The Italian negotiators had formal instrnetion3
to reject all conditions contrary to the right :of the
nation.

The Marquis Pepoli informed the. Emperor
Napoleon that the Italian Government from etra-
tegio, political, and administrative reasons, was
occupied with the question of removing the seat of
Government from Turin.

The Emperor replied that this resolution would
remove many d;fficulties.

Chevalier di Nigra further states that in the
negotiations it has been well understood that the
Convention should not and cannot signify neither
more nor loss than what it states—namely—that
Italy undertakes to renounce all violent measures.
