ADELPHI THEATRE.

A new extravaganza, intitled Mephistopheles; or,
An Ambassador from Below, adapted by Mr. Robert
Brougb, was produced last evening here with perfect
success. It is based on Machiavelli'a tale of the
mission of Belpbegor. Mephistopheles comes from
the regions below, on a mission to ascertain whether
matrimonial catastrophes are more generally the
fault of the husband or the wife. He commences his
quest by visiting two wedded couples, an Italian
Marquis, the Marquis di Brencador and his wife, and
his Lordship's gardener, Pepito, and his better half.
When Mephistopheles arrives all parties are enjoyingthe
intensity of the honeymoon. He interrupts the fe-
licity, for the purpose of investigation, by infusing
himself into the nature of the husband in the one
case, and into that of the wife in the other. He enters
Pepito in a pie crust; and the Marchese drinks him
in a glass of water—thereupon a gentle husband
thrashing iris wife with a stick, and a modest
bride defying her spouse by a confession that
she worships dragoons and adores diamonds. Heppi-
ness becomes misery—cat and dog driving out the
doves. There is a series of matrimonial imeutes, and
in the end Mephistopheles, having satisfied himself
with the creation of the contrasts, appears to Mrs.
Pepito and to the Marquis, acknowledging his inter-
vention, and reporting that he had come to the saga-
, cious conclu,Aon that " there are faults on both sides."
One act comprehends the piece ; and, as it is occupied
almost solely by Miss Woolgar, who personates the
fiend, Pepito, and the Marchioness. Her singular
versatility and clever distinction of character are dis-
played to consumate advantage, and we recommend
her admirers, whose name is legion, not to omit see-
ing her in Mephistopheles. Mr. Honey, as a matter
of course, sustained his part of the Marquis with ad-
mirable humour, and Miss Fitzwilliam was a charm-
ing Flora.
.There was a general call before the.cur-
tain, and Miss Woolgar, amid genuine Ade]phi ap-
plause, announced Mephistopheles for repetition.

FRANCE.
The Univers has the following on the violation of
the Sabbath and the religious fete days, with the ap-
parent sanction of the Government, after an official
notification that they should be respected by every
branch of the public administration. It says—
" We recur with regret to a grave matter which we
have already spoken of. In spite of the circulars of
the. Ministers of the Interior and of Public Works,
the administration continues to violate the repose of
the Sabbath. Workmen were busy on Easter Sun-
day as on other Sundays. One of our readers points
oat to us works executed at the angles of the Place
du Pantheon, and which certainly were not of an
urgent character; another person informs us that
workmen were also employed in the Rue Castiglione.
By the official circulars, the Government has itself de-
clared that such facts are deplorable, and yet they are
constantly renewed. Whence comes it to pass that
there is such a difference beteen the words and the acts?
We entertain no doubt of the sincerity of the Govern-
ment; in ordering that the works executed at the ex-
pense of the state, of the departments, and of the com-
munes should be suspended on the Sunday, it expressed
a well-considered and absolute intention. It is conse-
quently the inferior agents who are guilty of this
scandal, and who treat with mockery alike the orders of
the Government and the laws of the church. We do
not want to seek at present who are those agents, for
we wish to avoid all personal accusation; but we must
again express a hope that the Government will get itself
obeyed:
We find in the Pays and the Assemblie Nationale
articles against the revolutionary league which has
been got up in the United States by M. Kindel and
other German democratic Socialists. The Pays has
the following on this subject :
" We neither fear this ridiculous government, organized
on the other side the Atlantic, nor its armies, nor its
finances. Society at present has need ofipeace and secu-
rity; the late events accomplished in France have shown
that this want is felt as deeply and as energetically
amongst the workmen and the peasants as amongst the
higher classes; it will not allow itself to be led away
by any of those preachers of war and disturbance who
wish to throw the world into fresh convulsions. But if
the revolutionary government has not in our eyes any
principle of force and success, it is not the less true that
it is about to get up
agitation, and prevent the restora-
tion of calm in that Europe which has been so sadly
disturbed during the last fifty years. These attempts,
which are almost always followed by defeat, will have
for result to arm European Governments with greater
severities. Cannot the incorrigible promoters of perma-
nent revolation see that every effort of demagogy is fatal
to liberty, and in rendering the right of a legal govern-
ment to defend itself more and more legitimate, it ne-
cessarily impels it to rigours which no man of sense
could reasonably reproach it for? In conclusion, we
may ask ourselves whether the revolutionary govern-
ment has a possibility of forming itself as it pro-
poses. Between a project and the execution of it
there is a considerable distance. Will the Govern-
ment of the United States permit the establishment of an
organized power, having at its disposal resources and
soldiers which might threaten the repose and the ex-
istence of the European Governments? We think not.
Some months since the Congress at Washington re-
sounded with very violent words; some speakers pro-
claimed the duty of the American Union to occupy itself
with the internal affairs of Europe, and impelled it to
thuslviolate the principle of non-interference in the
internal affairs of other states. These imprudent re-
marks, it is true, found no echo; but can it be believed
that, if the Government of the United States tolerates
the definitive constitution of the Revolutionary League,
it will not expose itself to the energetic remonstrances
of the European powers? We submit this question to
the eminent men who now direct the affairs of North
America."
The following letter, dated Clamecy, 4th inst., and
addressed by General Canrobert to the President
of the Republic, is published by the Constitutionnel :
" Monseigneur—l have the honour to render you an
account of my mission in the arrondissement of Clamecy.
All that I have read, all that I had ,heard, of the ra-
vages of socialism in this country was far below the
truth; lam here in the very heart of demagogy. The
evil-is immense, the wounds are deep, and still bleeding.
Let the incredulous come into the Ni4fre, let them see
what this department was before the 2d December, and
what it now is; let them examine the minutes of the pro-
ceedings against 579 inhabitants of Clamecy, condemned
either by court-martial or by the departmental commis-
sion, and however resolved they may be to close their
eyes to the truth, they will be compelled to open them
and avow that the great act of the 2d December saved
society. In spite of my wish, Monseigneur, to fulfil
your intentions of showing extensive clemency, it has
been impossible for me to do ao to more than 52 persons,
and many of those only had their punishments lightened.
In visiting the prisons of the town I found 42 individuals
on whose cases the mixed commissions had not yet de-
cided. I pronounced their fate by making them all feel
the effects of your mercy.—l am, with deep respect,
Monseigneur, your bumble and devoted servant,
(Signed) '4 CANROBERT."

ITALY.

" We extract the following from a letter dated
Genoa, 10th inst :
"The departure of the Prince of Canino from Civita
Vecchia was quite as extraordinary as his arrival. He
embarked, dressed as a common seaman, on board the
commercial steamer Industry, bound for Marseilies,
via Beath. Tee French Government had forbidden
the Prieca to proceed to Rome, lest the anar-
chists should profit; or his presence to disturb
public tranquility, but it afforded him every
facility for the adjastinent of his family
M. de St. Sauveur had arrived from France with
dispatches on the subject a week before. On the landing
of the Prince, M. de 14 Tour d'Auvergee bad come
from Rome to Civics Vecchia to take his orders, and
returned to Rome, from whence M. de Rayneval sent
him to Perugia, where the Princess of Canino had
retired. On his return, M. de la Tour d'Auvergne
proceeded a second time to Civita Vecchia. Thns,
the French authorities did everything in their power
to enable the Prince to settle his domestic affairs;
Aild it is now obvious, even to the Italians them-
selves, that M. Charles Bonaparte was not en-
trusted with any political mission. A letter written by
a clergyman, who appears robe attached to the Princess of
amino, and published in a Piedmontese religious journal,
dieplisins the nature of the business which brought him to
Oidta Vecchis. The Prince owes an American 43,600
scudi (10,0001.), which he wished to repay him, and for
tbd4 purpose he intended to sell his z )ological cabinet and
iiiikkfillery of paintings. The family refusing its consent,
dle Prince applied to the French Government fur leave
t9Aqpeeeil to Italy, which was granted to him on condi-
tw—that he should stop at Civita Vecchia. Though his
wife left Rome for Perugia, on hearing of his arrival, it
was not to avoid a settlement, but merely to bring away
her younger son, whom her husband wished to take
with him to France. The eldest son, who is of age,
'ruined at Rome. The two daughters, who are mar-
ried, visited their father, and one of them, the Countess
Campella, lately passed through Genoa with her hus-
*Lad."

RIOT ATBARRI-No TON COLLIERY.
Al disturhaUce, attended with serious personal in-
jury, though with no loss of life, occurred on Tuesday
last, at Barrington Colliaerey, near Bedlington. Messrs.

thickness in different places, so that therel is much
greater ditlicu,ty in hewing a ton of coals in one
Bart of it than in another, the owners resolved to
make a corresdonding variation hi the scale of prices.
they accordingly give notice that in tuturetber
there

according to toe thickness of the
.
seam. Tois, though a more equitable inlde of regulating
wages, amounted,
it seems, to a reduction in the aggre-
gate, which, it is said, would amount to about is. per
week in the average wages of the men in one pit.
In the other pit no reduction of prices has taken
place, though it was contemplated. After the month
bad expired the men remained in their huuseg,
but refused to work at the reduced rate. In
consequence of this, the owners, being determined
to carry the new regulati.ms into effect, ordered the
men to leave their houses and make way
for others who were willing to accept the terms.
Qa the men refusing to leave the two policemen
stationed at Bedlington, Drummond and Graham, got
sr4cla assistance as they could procure, and attempted
to eject them. 'this attempt W,13 the signal for a de-
termined resistance on tne part of the men
generally.
They assembled to the number of from 2,00 to 300
men, several of them being from other collieries.
hinny had provided themselves with sticks, and se-
veral blows were inflicted, the policemen and their
party defending themselves as well as they could. Two
men from Newcastle were severely wounded on the
head and in other parts of the body. Andrew Gra-
ham, policeman, Mark White, constable, and Michael
Barkas, a weigher at the pit, were also more or less
injured. Some of the houses occupied by the "black-
legs," as they are called (that is, the men who agreed
to the change), were much injured, the windows and
doors being smashed to pieces. Ooe had to jump
through a window at the front of his house, to escape
