ITALY.

There is but litte doubt that GARIBALDI has suc-
ceeded in escaping to Venice. The murder of the
Priest BASSI, ,at Bologna, by order of an Austrian
drum-head court-martial has excited the most in -
tense sensation. BASSI was not an Austrian
subject, nor was he taken in arms, and the only ex-
cuse the Austrian officer can have for his conduct is,
that he must consider himself as holding the appoint-
ment of executioner to the POPE. Tne conduct of
the Austrians in this affair fully justifies the Sardinian
Government in having refused to make peace until
ananmesty should have been granted to the Lombards.
The persecution is not confined to the Republicans,
but extends to all who are not furious parthans of
the priests. ZANOLINI, the mayor of Bologna, who
headed the deputation to the POPE, requesting him to
take up his residence in that city, and Count Am-
BARDE RANUZZI, who is known as a sturdy anti-
republican, have both been arrested for signing an
address praying for a restoration of the Constitution ;
and a lady of rank has been condemned to a year's
hcprisonment, because a gun was found in her house.
It was rumoured that the POPE had been assassi-
nated, but no credit was attachel to the report.
The Neapolitan troops have received orders to quit
the Roman territory.
The Roman Triumvir SAFFI, has arrived at Turin.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA,
COVENT-GARDEN.

The Huguenots was performed here last night for the
last time this season with the same perfection which has
always distinguished its representation at this theatre.
Grist, who was in superb voice, never sang or acted
better in her life; she was repeatedly called on during
the course of the performance, and had bouquets innu-
merable thrown to her. Angri also was excellent, and
the Raoul de Nangis of Mario was perfect. Marini
looked the rough old veteran to the life, and sung and
acted superbly. Never has the Piff-paff bee❑ given
with greater spirit. It was, of course, rapturously en-
cored. The chorusses were superbly rendered ; the
scene of blessing the daggers was perfectly thrilling.
The house was exceedingly well attended.

CREMORNE GARDENS.
For the last three days these gardens have been
crowded every morning. to witness the day fetes, in which
Mr. Batty, and his magnificent stud, take the principal
part. This fete, which commences at two o'clock in the
afternoon, and terminates shortly after five, is a repro-
sentatioa of the celebrated Eglintoun Tournament.
Lists have been fitted up in the gardens, and
there the Queen of Beauty and her attendants
take their places on the throne of honour, and the
Knights appear in the lists, and joust and tilt.
The fittings up
of the arena are in the Gothic style;
and a spectator might, with a very small stretch of the
imaginative, fanny himself transported back to the
middle ages. This entertainment, which is of a peculiarly
interesting chancter from its historical associations, pro-
mises to be most successful. The gardens have been
crowded each day, and the applause has been enthusias
tic. It ail), we understand, be repeated in the course
of next week.
