HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, JUNE 14 —The communal law, as
voted by the Second Chamber, has been brought
under debate in the First Chamber. The Govern-
ment has presented to the Second Chamber a project
of law for abolishing the navigation dues on the river
Meuse. In the preamble accompanying the project,
the Government states that measures were taken to
induce the Belgian Government to adopt the same
course in regard to that part of the Meuse which runs
through the Belgian territory.

NMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Cologne Gazette contains a letter of the 6th
inst., from Flensburg, which says :—" After the dis•
cussions by the notables of Schleswig of the Govern-
ment Bill for an arrangement of differences, the Hol-
stein deputies presented a protest, in which inadvisi-
bility and independence of the duchies is asserted.
A warm discussion ensued. M. WIESE, who had
drawn up the protest, in speaking of the future pros-
pects of Schleswig, said that, if necessary, an applica-
tion would be made for support to the Germanic Con-
federation. Then the storm burst; the Danish and
Schleswig Deputies protesting in the most energetic
and solemn manner against the right of the Confede-
ration to interfere in the affairs of Schleswig. The
Deputies of Denmark and Schleswig then made a
counter declaration to that of Holstein, in which they
declare that the Government plan suited them better
than any other. Both of these protests were inserted
formally in the proces verbal."

ITALY.
The Government of Piedmont has ordered Count
BERTOLA DE an emissary of the Pore and of
the Emperor of AUSTRIA, to be expelled the country,
and to be conveyed to the frontier by the police.
An English family named ALBOROUGU has been
placed under arrest at Leghorn.
The Austrians have entered Spoleto.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
II Prodigo was repeated on Saturday with an increased
cffect. The time elapsing between the second and third
acts is now diminished considerably ; the opera cense-
quenty acts within reasonable limits. Mine. Sontag sang
the touching air of Jeftele in the first act with exquisite
taste and pathos, and in the finale to the third act her
acting and singing were perfection. Never have we seen
her so great an actress as in this finale. Madame
Ugaldo was even more brilliant on Saturday than she
was on Thursday, and Gardoni has never appeared to
such advantage as he does in Azsele. Mas-
sol's Reuben is sublime; his make up is
perfect (his dress, it is said, was designed
by Horace Vernet, and he looks like an Emir
who had stepped out of one of Horace Vernet's pictures),
and his singing and acting full of dramatic power and
heartrending pathos. Colletti as the High Priest was
very fine. The music of the opera grows on the auditor
by repetition; it must be heard more than once to be pro-
perly appreciated. The divertissements in the second and
third acts are positively intoxicating. Never has the
graceful and fascinating choerographic art been carried
to such a pitch of perfection. Rosati has, by her persona-
tion of Lia, vindicated her claim to the throne left vacant by
the abdication of the Taglioni, and the eoryph‘es would, on

This, perhaps the most dazzlingly brilliant opera that
has ever been produced, was again received with enthu-
siastic applause by a house crowded to the ceiling.
