The Grand Duke of TUSCANY arrived at Capua on
the 10th. The King of NAPLES had arrived there
previously to receive him. They stayed a few hours
st Capua, and then proceeded to Naples by the rail-
road.

A Turin letter of the 18th, in the Univers, men-
tions a petition sent a few days before to the Pied-
montese Chamber of Deputies by a priest, praying
that a pamphlet, entitled " Letter of St. Peter to the
Bishops of Piedmont," be prohibited, on account of
*he virulent attack it contains upon the rights of the
Romi,,h hierarchy. The Coamber, it appears, refused
to take the petition into consideration, on the ground
that it could not usurp the functions of the Sacred
Congregation of the Ind.-x at Rome. The same cor-
respondent states that the sees of Turin and Cagliari
are marked vacant in the Royal calendar of this
year.

The Official Milan Gazette publishes a sentence of
the court martial of that city condemning a person,
named PARRAVICINI, to two months' imprisonment,
fur having attempted to prevent other persons from
smoking.

GENERAL THEATRICAL FUND —Yesterday, pur-
suant to a requisition, a general meeting of the subscribers
to this fund was held in the saloon of the Lyceum Theatre,
to revise the rules of the institution previous to the r embodi-
ment in the royal charter of incorporation, for which appli-
cation is now being made. J. B. Buckstone, Esq.. having
taken the chair, the members present proceeded to the con-
sideration of rules 32 and S 3, relating to the death of an-
nuitants. Mr. L,cy moved, and .ar. Lewis seconded,
" That the representatives of a deceased annuitant be entitled
to claim the portion of the quarter's sala y due at his or her
death, and 101. also as burial money." To this Mr. Cullen-
ford moved an amendment, to the effect that such represen-
tatives be entitled to claim the balance of annuity, or 101.,
but not both. Mr. Worrell having seconded this amendment,
it was put and carried by a large majority. Mr. Cullenford
then moved at d Mr. Worrell seconded a resolution, express-
ing the eligibilty of parties performing at the Grecian or any
other saloon licensed by the Lord Chamberlain to become
members of the fund ; the motion, however, was lost. It
was then moved, seconded, and carried unacimously, that
the number of directors be increased from fifteen to twenty.
one. After considerable (discussion it WAS ultim,tely agreed,
on the motion of Mr. Hughes, seconded by Mr. Cowie, that
two new directors should be elected annually, and that five of
the seven going out by rotatioa should be eligible for re-elec-
tion. Moved by Mr. Saville, and seconded by W. Williams,
that the secretary give three months' notice either of his in-
tention to resign his office or to apply for an advance of
salary; carried. A vote of thanks having been unanimously
passed to the chairman, the meeting separated.
A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF DR. JOHNSON.--•
It is not generally known that Dr. Johnson was a constant
attendant at the service in St. Clements Danes Church, in
one of the pews of which he had a seat for many years. The
circumstance had almost been forgotten, when the present
churchwarden, Mr. Spence-, instituted some inquiries, in
order that a tablet should be placed in memory to the great
lexicographer. The result was, that a correspondence took
place between the churchwarden a, d the Rev. Dr. Croly,
which clea.ly established the fact, that the learned doctor
always sat in No. 18 pew in the north gallery, and against
the large pillar at the end. The churchwarden, the late
churchwarden, Mr. Spillman, and one or two other friends,
de ermined that the pillar should bear a testimonial record-
ing the interesting fact; and Dr. Croly was requested to
write the inscription. This he cordially agreed to, and on a
neat brass tablet, in the place and on the pillar above referred
to, will be found the graceful tribute to a great man's
memory, from the pen of the eloquent rector of St Stephen's,
Walbrook, Dr. Croly!--"!n this pew and beside this pillar,
for many years attended Divine service, the celebrated Dr.
Ssmucl Johnson, the philosopher, the poet, the great lexico-
grapher, the profound moralist, and chief writer of his time.
Born 1709; died 1784. In the remembrance and honour of
noble faculties, nobly employed, some inhabitants of the
Aparish of St. Clement Danes have placed this memo rial,
A.D. 1851." This " slight" but lasting memorial, at the
cost of the churchwardens, Mr. Spencer, Mr. Spillman, and
one or two others, has been placed on the great pillar, and
the pew and the identical seat occupied by the " profound
moralist" are objects of much interest.
I ST. STEFHEN'S, WAIBROOK.--At the meeting of
the vestry of this parish, yesterday, Mr. Rock drew the at-
tention of the vestry to the propriety of throwing open their
splendid church for the inspection of visitors to London
during the Exhibition. In Rome and Italy the church of St.
Stephen—the master-piece of Sir Christopher Wren, was
much talked of, being considered the most stately structure
in Europe—therefore, visitors from those parts would take
great interest in its inspection. He therefore begged to pro-
pose that the church be opened to the public free from ehirge
or fees, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during the
time of the Exhibition. Mr. Unwin seconded the proposi-
tion, which was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks
having been passed to the rector (Dr. Croly), the meeting
separated.

THE CENSUS OF GLASGOW.—WO understand that

it will not be possible to give an official and authentic state-
ment cf the population of the city for some days yet— possibly
a fortnight. In these circumstance it is impossible to make
any approximation to the result, We may, however, state
that the population on the south side of the river, Within tleo
Parliamentary bounds, is, as um. as may be, about 0,,000,
which je somewhat rimier the estimated apba1t,....1)
