ITALY.

We quote the following from a Savoy paper, as a
specimen of the trash which finds its way into the
colutns of newspapers, in order to feed the morbid ap-
petite of the public for high-seasoned intelligence :
" The Prince President sees that an aliment must be
given to French activity. War in Europe would be too
dangerous a thing. A war is necessary which may sa-
tisfy the aspirations of Bassist, Austria, and England.
This war has its motive in the affair of the Holy places.
Be sure that this oriental vfar will break out sooner or
later, because :Russia, Austria, and England will find it
advantageous; the first by taking Constantinople, the
second by the acquisition of Bosnia and Bulgaria, and
the third by the possession of Egypt. The fertile lonia
will be the portion of France. It is highly probable
that Prince Baciocchi is instructed to support the pre-
tensions of the Marquis of Layslette at Constantinople."
The treaties for the protection of literary property
concluded between France and the Sardinian States
have just received their first rigorous application.
At the request of some publishers of Paris, the shops
of several booksellers of Cnatnbery were a few days
since visited by the police to search for pirated copies
of the " Geography of the Abbi GAULTIER," printed
at Anecy, by M. BURDET. Seventy-seven volumes
were handed over to the Avoca

w Fiscalere seized,

The poet MictzoNt arrived at Chiavari on the 19th
from Genoa, on his way to Tuscany, on a visit to his
daughter. Marquis CAMILLO PAULA-I,ICM offered
him hospitality in his noble mansion, and the Muni-
cipality gave him a serenade.
M. TURGOT, Senator of France, and late Minister
of Foreign Affairs, was presented to the POPE on the
14th by M. DE RAYNEVAL. His HOLINESS received
him with the greatest affability, and entertained him
at his table together with General COTTE, who has
succeeded to General BORELLI.

Accounts from Berlin announce that Mdlle. Wag-
ner has made her appearance as Fides, in Le Pro-
phite, and was well received. The more one hears
of Mdlle. Wagner, the more her spirit of lucre is ap-
parent. It appears that before leaving Berlin, M.

had committed an egregious imprudence, as

Anna of Donizetti's most beautiful
Anna Bolena, has been revived at the Cercano in
Milan, for the debut of a Mdlle. Delaurie-Borsi,
" who possessed an extensive and agreeable organ,
and considerable execution," and who, notwith-
standing her apprehension, which was intense, ob-
tained, much applause, especially in the final rondo.
The other performen, Mmes. Gavettt, Sehepier, and
MM. Agristi and B lilini, are well spoken of, but
the latter, in the King's part, is much blamedfor his
frightful contortions while singing and his general
deficiency as an actor.
The Italian papers state that an opera, by M.
Chiaromonte, Le Nozze di Messina, has been well
received at Bergamo. The artistes, who are all
lauded. to the skies, were Mme. Lotti and DIM.
Milesi, Eiori, and Dal Basics.

From Madrid we learn that a company of capital-
ists had obtained the authorisation of government to
establish a "New Lyrical Theatre," reserved for the
sole representation of operas on national subjects.
The Mediterraneo, a Genoa paper, mentions that
in the South of Spain a general mania for music is
prevailing. At Granada, M. Giorgio Ronconi, the
great baritone, was creating a perfect furore, and
reaping literally a golden harvest—something like 800
piastres (about 1741.) for each representation—iis
spoken of. The frequenters of the opera at Jerez had
offered a valuable bracelet to Mme. Montenegro. At
Cordova the Creole pianist, M. Gottschalk, had met
with extraordinary success ; he gave eighteen concerts,
and left the proceeds of the last, amounting to nearly
2001., te the charitable establishments in that city.
While New York boasts of going ahead of Lon-
don, Paris, and St. Petersburgh in operatic matters,
San Francisco threatens to shoot considerably past
New York. The last American mail informs us of
a competition to engage Miss Hayes to sing six
months in California for the sum of 10,0001.
