THE IMPERIAL FAMILY OF FRANCE.

The following articles are from the Moniteur o:
yesterday :

" BIARRITZ, SEPT. 21.
" The Emperor and Empress went yesterday to St.
Jean de Luz. Their Majesties, in spite of the bad
weather, visited the embankment made at that interest
ing little town, a part of which, unfortunately, has
already been carried away by the sea. The Emperor
gave I,ooof. to the mayor for purposes of charity, I,ooof.
to the Commissary of the Marine for the widows of
sailors, and 5,000 f. to the curate for the repair of his
church.

" His Imperial Highness Prince Jerome Napoleon
arrived at Paris from Havre OD Saturday evening at five
o'clock."

"STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 13

" Prince Napoleon left Christiania during the night
of the sth of September, after having received from the
hands of the Viceroy the insignia of the Norwegian
Order of St. Olaf. At Gotteaburg his Imperial High-
ness left his yacht and embarked on board one of the
packet-boats which ply on the line of the Gothie Canal.
Favoured by the late beautiful days of the season the
Prince had a pleasant passage, and on the evening of the
10th rejoined the corvette at the height of Soder-
koping. The next evening the Reine Hortense and
the Cocyte cast anchor near the fortress of Baxholin,
which defends the approaches to the capital. The Reine
Hortense was received with a Royal salute, and was
stationed opposite the palace. The Great Chamberlain,
Count de Lewenhaupt, followed by the commandant
of the station, came to compliment the Prince in the
name of the King of Sweden, offered him apartments at
Stockholm and Drotinghdim, placed at his disposal one
of his Majesty's aides-de-camp, and announced to him
that the King, who had arrived on the previous evening
to preside at a Council, would receive him at the Palace.
Before disembarking his Imperial Highness received on
board a visit from the Duke of Ostrogothie. At 2 o'clock
the Prince in full uniform, and decorated with the Order
of Norway, went on board a boat, bearing the French
flag, accompanied by the officers of his suite and the
Minister of the Emperor, and repaired to the Palace.
At this moment another salute of 24 guns was fired.
Received upo❑ landing with the accustomed ceremony
bestowed upon princes of the blood Royal, his Imperial
Highness was conveyed in the State carr age amid the
acclamations of a vast, concourse of people to the pre-
sence of King Oscar, who received him in the most cor
dial manner. The Prince occupied an apartment for the
day at the Palace. His Swedish Majesty immediately
paid him a visit, and conferred upon him the Order of
the Seraphim. The Prince then went to Drotingholtn,
where he was successively presented to the two Queens
and to the Princess Eugenia. At dinner the King
proposed the toast, 'To the Emperor, and the continued
Prosperity of his glorious Reign,' and finished by giv-
ing the `Health of Prince Napoleon.'
" The Prince intends to devote two days to visit the
establishment of the capital, two more days to visit the
chateau of Gripsholm, to which-the King will accom-
pany him, and three days to an excursion to Upsal and
the mines of Dannemora."

THE NEW DIOCESE OF WESTMINSTER

Her Majesty's Government have determined on
a subdivision of the diocese of London, and Dr.
Tait, who is to have the supervision of the metro-
politan see, will have only one-half the field over
which the Bishops of London have hitherto pre-
sided. The diocese of London will henceforth
consist of all that portion of the metropolis which
is within the City walls, in addition to the exten-
sive parishes of Bethnal-green, Clerkenwell, Isling-
ton, Limehouse, Shoreditch, Stepney, St. George's
East, Whitechapel, Hackney, and Stoke- Newing=
ton; together with several parishes in Essex, Rent,
and Surrey, which are at present under the juris-
diction of the Bishop of London.
The Bishop •f Westminster•will have in his gift,
amongst other livings, the vicarage of Kensington,
worth 1,4001. a year ; the vicarage of St. Martin-
in-the-Fields, worth 1,4001. a year ; the incum-
6ency of St.- Paul's, Knightsbridge, worth 1,200/.
a year ; the vicarage of Fulham, worth 9001. a
year ; the incumbency of Brompton, worth-1,7001.
a year ; the vicarage of Hammersmith, worth 6001.
a year ; the incumbency of Highgate, worth 4001.
a year ; and several minor benefices. No one is at
present named for the new bishopric of Westmin-
ster.

IPICCOLOMINI'S CONCERT.—Piccolomini is a gem of a
girl. If she is a descendant of a line of popes, she does
I honour to St. Peter's chair. She acts perfectly ; she sings
,'eliciou4ly. We went reluctantly to her concert, for the
wretched old screech owl that edits the Athenceum said
she could not sing : and we were foolish enough to fancy
that although he lies uniformly on things literary, he
might toll occasional truth on things musical. No such
thing. Her music is without flaw : as to her acting, its
charm is indescribable. The very spirit of music dwells
in her ; she is eager to sing ; she carries all the humour
and pathos of Italy in that statuesque head of hers ; her
voice has the intoxication of champagne. Tbis was the
effect of a bare morning concert. What.would it be with
the costume and colouring of the opera-house 9 And
Piccolomini is only 18 ; what will she be at 25 ?
THE CONCERT OF MONDAY..--A correspondent, better
up in matters musical than we, sends us the following :
—Piccolomini and the artistes of her Majesty Theatre,
Belletti, Beneventano, Charles Braham, and Madlle.
Finoli, and Pilotti gave a morning concert here on
Monday last, which was attended by all the elite of
this fashionable watering place. Madlle. Piccolomini
continuos to astonish her audiences by the fresh elec-
tric style of her singing ; in all her movements there
is a natural ease and grace. Madlle. Finoli possesses
a fine deep contralto voice: The artistic Belletti, aided
by the deep tones of I3eneventano, gives unusual de-
light. Braham promises to become a great singer,
fully maintaining the name his family has secured Joy
musical
its knowledge and talent.' paper:

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Last night the "Inconstant " was revived for the de-
but of Mr. Murdoch, a gentleman who has long held a
high reputation in the United States, and has there main-
tained the fame of a piece almost forgotten (save by
students) on this side of the Atlantic. His appearance
was decidedly in his favour. Tall, well built, and with
a strongly-marked countenance, he awakened the re-
membrance of those rakes of another century in
whom a certain degree of physical strength was a
necessary element. His swing had the old school assur-
ance about it, the sparkling dialogue was delivered
with the confidence of a professed wit, and the deli-
neation might generally be pronounced forcible. On the
other hand, he seemed to be deficient in that etherial
buoyancy which was once found consistent with mus-
cular development, and which, by giving a show of im-
pulse to all the acts of the unvirtuous heroes of comedy,
carried their rascalities easily along. His talent was
most advantageously displayed in the last act, where
the most force and the least lightness are required in
bringing out the effect 'of a really terrific situation.
The inclination to cry like a child, when one of the
cowardly villains into whose hands be has fallen tweaks
him by the nose, and the check which he puts upon
his feelings that he may not risk a fatal quarrel, were
excellent touches, and admirable was his rush back
into his habitual hilarity when the moment of peril
was past, and he felt himself restored, as by magic,
to the enjoyment of life. A most violent tran-
sition was contemplated by the author, and this
was completely realised by the actor, who by his per-
formance in this remarkable scene brought down the
curtain with loud applause.

The piece generally was fairly acted, and we may
especially pick out the Duretete of Mr. W. Farren, as
marked by a great deal of ease and confidence, and the
" Old Mirabel" of Mr. Chippendale, which was a highly
coloured picture of the old school. Mrs. E. Fitzwilliam
sustained Oriana with considerable effect, though the
part is out of her usual line, and Miss Talbot looked
magnificent in the character of Bizarre, the Farquhar
"Beatrice." Altogether the play, which was given in
a three-act version, moved on merrily enough ; and
indeed, notwithstanding the faults of coarseness and
improbability, it is still a luxury to listen to tha keen
and highly-polished dialogue.

ENGLAND, F'RANC'E, AND NAPLES.

Zile Journal des Debats of yesterday contains the
enbjoined remarks oil the demonstration about to
be made in the illy of flaples by a combined Eng-
lish. and French scinadrot
" We are informed that the place of rendezvous for the
tnglish and French forces will be at Ajaccio. To-mor.
raw at the day after the French fleet will quit Toulon.
One of the ehip's will carry a courier of the Ministry of
Foreign Affair's, benting, Instructions to M. Brenier.
After the response, already' anticipated, has been made
tc the demands authorised by then instructions,diplo•
matic relations will be entirely suspeaded: M. lJrcnier
will retire cn bard the allied fleet, which Will make
arrangements to remain in the Bay of Naples, prith the
object of protecting the national interests,
"The King of Naples has left hbi capital, and is
sojourning at Gaeta ; it is there, it is said, that he will
receive the representations of the allied Powers."

" The language of the representatives of France and
England was of a character to excite hopes the more
readily received inasmuch as they were unexpected. At
the same time it was merely wise not to indulge them too
freely, for it was clear that in proportion as Austria con-
curred in the proceeding no serious benefit could accrue
to the Italian population. The attempt at remonstrance
was made by the Western Powers ; and it appears that
they had recourse to the good offices of Austria to act
upon the Neapolitan Government. The attempt has
failed, and the Governments of France and England
have now determined to act alone."

"It is said that in a few days the Moniteztr will pub-
lish a note to show the object and meaning of the resolu-
tion taken by the allied Courts. That note will probably
be couched in terms not of a character to encourage any
revolutionary movement. It is probable that it will re-
semble the langune held by Lord Clarendon and Count
Walewski in toe Congress, and that it will repeat the
statement that the two Courts interfere in the affair's of
Naples entirely in a conservative spirit, and to maintain
and not to disturb European order—in fact, the inter-
vention will be an energetic protest against all attempts
at disorder.

" The menace to the King of Naples will not be per-
haps as serious as it appears, and the demonstration of
the two Powers will doubtless retain for a long time a
negative character. If that demonstration has been
unexpectedly hastened, we must attribute it perhaps to
those Parliamentary exigencies which the English Mi-
nister has to take into account."

THE TREATY WITS XONDURAS.

The Liverpool Albion publishes the copy of a com-
munication from Don Leon Alvarado to the Gover-
nor of the Republic of Honduras, advising him of
the conclusion of the negotiations with England,
and specifying the terms of the treaty. The letter
is dated " Legation of Honduras, London, Sept.
15, 1856, thirty-fifth anniversary of the independ-
ence," and intimates that the negotiations with
England are concluded. Although claiming the
Bay Islands, Honduras was willing to leave them
free to the enterprise of the world, on condition
that her sovereignty were recognised and the Mos-
quito territory were returned to her. The United
States accepted these conditions, and England saw
in them a means of getting out of a disagreeable
question. The ambassador then , announces that
the treaties are concluded as follows
"1. The restitution of the sovereign rights of Hon-
duras over the islands of Ruatan, Bonacca, exc., and de-
claring them free territory,' governed by its proper
municipality.
" 2. Acknowledges the territorial limits of Honduras
marked in the map by the Hon. George Squier, say
from the river Wans 6 Seg6ria to the, river. Negro.
" A tribunal of reference composed of one citizen of
Honduras and one British, if necessary, an impartial
third of any nation, will fix the boundary, indemnify the
Mosquito Indians for the losses which they suffer, and
adjuit all claims whatever.
" 3. Memorandum of the basis of negotiations.
" Senor Minister, —True wisdOm teaches that a nation
should march with the circumstances of the day. Hon-
duras enters a' new political life ; her steps should, there-
fore, be to declare.

" 1. That she knows no enemies or parties, and for-
gives all past offences.
" 2. Cultivate friendly relations with all who will ac-
cept them.
" 3. To avoid all compromises, offensive or defensive
leagues, so common in America, and so disastrous.
" 4. To form no league, diet, or confederation.
" 5. Invite all her neighbours to regulate territorial
limits, and to examine the claims made by Copan on the
part of Florida, and that in six or eight months tile titles
should be exhibited.

"6. Prohibit or abolish from the public press all
politics, give regulations for education S4c,"
In announcing this treaty, Don Leon. Alvarado ex.
presses his thanks to Mr. Marcy, to Lord P!arendon,
to Mr. Dallas, to Mr. William Brown, M.P., to Mr.
Squier, etc , or their several shares in effecting this
treaty.

subjects selected for' illustration are "The Battle
of Ravennes" and "Paris Besieged by the Nor-

THAMES.

LIBEZZLEMENT BY A SERVANT.—Matthias Gilby, a
journeyman baker, who has been for two years in the
service of Mr. Mackness, of No. 16, Sidney-place,
Commercial-road, was brought before Mr. Yardley, in
custody of Police-sergeant Baker, No. 9 K, charged
with embezzling various sums of money he bad received
for and on account of his master. It appeared that
the prisoner assisted in his master's bakehouse, and
also carried out bread, and it was his duty to pay over
to his master all moneys he had received daily. Yester-
day Mr. Mackness sent out a strange lad with the bread
to his customers, and delivered to him several bills for
bread supplied, when it was ascertained that
the prisoner bad already received the money and ap-
propriated it to his own use. Mrs. Sarah Platte, of
Stepney-green, paid the prisoner 1/. 12s. sd. on the 9th
of July, which the prisoner had not paid over to his
master. Mrs. Ellen Smith and Mrs. Margaret Hutton
had paid him various small sums, varying from is. to
75., at different times, and instead of pitying the money
to his master, he kept it and debited the customers, who
were much surprised when they were asked to pay a
second time. Mr. Mackness had discovered another
case where the prisoner had received money from a cus-
tomer, and he believed there were many other cases, but
he had not time to go round to all the customers.
Mr. Yardley went into the accounts, which we:•o3
very irregular owing to the prisoner having delivered
false bills which did not tally with the number of loaves
inserted in the prosecutor's books. The prisoner bad
been in the practica of booking loaves of bread daily far
three months against Mrs. Platte, and she had not dealt
with Mr. Mackness or received any bread from the pri-
soner since the 9th of July. The prisoner had tliipoed
of the bread charged against Mrs. Platte elsewhere. The
prisoner bad in one instance paid his master more
money than be had received ffom a customer, and in
numerous instances much less.

Mr. Yardley remarked on the complicated nature of
the case, and remanded the prisoner until Monday next,

wonderfully efficacious for the Cure of Wounds.—Mr.
Woodall, of Barlby, near Selby, was tainted with an
abscess on the back of his neck for a considerable time,

most eminent surgeon in the neighbourhood, yet he could
not by the various remedies applied heal the wound; he
therefore determined on giving Holloway's ointment and
pilis a trial ; and by these invaluable medicines alone
he has been perfectly cured, and is now in excellent

COLONIAL

TEA.--The market has been very dull, and few sales are
reported ; buyers having delayed their purchases for the
public sales which take place this day, the majority of
which being without reserve will influence quotations.
SUGAR.—A. very moderate business has been done in
foreign and colonial, holders requiring very firm rates,which
has checked operations; some large parcels are advertised
for public sale, and prices are expected to rule high. In
the refined markets there is a good demand for exportation,
but for home consumption business is inanimate.
COFFEE. —A. fair amount of business has been done at
fully former rates, and the supply being very limited
prices are generally expected to rule very firm.
RICE.—The market has been active for the common
quality, and former prices have been sustained for all de-
seri ptions.
RUM.—Very little business has been reported, and
prices generally are well sustained.
TALLOW.—A quieter appearance has been observed in
the Tallow Market for the last day or two. E.Y.C. has
declined to sis 3d on the spot, and 493 3d to 49361 for the
last 3 months.

The directors of the Crystal Palace Company offer
2501. reward fur the apprehension of their clerk, William
James Robson, to whom the late forgeries are attri.
buted.
From Mexico the advices are to the 19th of August.
The clause for religious toleration in the new constitu-
tion now before Congress has been rejected.
RECOVERY OF POSSESSION OF HOUSES BY THE
COUNTY COURTS.—In the new County Courts Act
about to come into force, there are several clauses of
considerable importance to landlords, extending the
recovery of premises, where the rent does not exceed 501. I
a year, in a summary manner, and preventing actions
of ejeotments in the superior courts. Where the term
has expired in property where neither the value of the
premises nor the rent is more than 501. by the year, a plaint
may be entered, and in default of the tenant giving up
the same the bailiff may enter and give the landlord
possession. In plaints for the recovery of possessiPn
the plaintiff may recover his rent where the same does
not exceed 501. Further, the act provides that where
there is half a year's rent due, and the landlord has a
right to reenter, possession may be given by the County
Court&

CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.

Yesterday the annual delivery of orations by the senior
scholars took place in the Great Hall of the hospital
before a crowded audience ; the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor presiding. The occasion, we need hardly remark,
was one of great interest, and the manly declamation of
the scholars well deserved the assemblage and its applause.
To dwell upon the value of exhibitions of this kind, of
their encouraging effect on the minds of the younger
scholars, and of the stimulus they give to still greater
exertion on the part of the senior ones, would be trite.
They are proceeding to the universities by a title won
by their talents and honourable industry- a title pub-
licly declared and maintained by their orations. They
have given hostages to fame, and on the extent to which
they redeem them will depend the measure of that
success which we heartily wish them. To impress still
more the obligations they have so nobly contracted, we
subjoin a list of their names, and the orations they
delivered :
Latin Oration on the Benefits of the Royal Hospitals.—
Wm. Shrubsole Foster, Third Grecian ; Mathematical Me- 4
dallist, 1855 " • Montefiore Plizeman, 1856 ; who is pro-
ceeding to St. John's College, Cambridge.
English Oration on the same subject.—Ernest Montagu,
First Grecian ; Classical Medallist, 1856 ; Richards' Me-
dallist, 1856 ;—who is proceeding to Magdalene College,
Cam bridge.
Greek Oration, on the same subject.—Mark Shattock,
Fourth Grecian ;—who is proceeding to Pembroke College,
Cambridge.
French Oration, on the same subject.—Thomas Carter
Pallett, Second Grecian ; Mathematical Medallist, 1856 ;
--who is proceeding to Magdalen Hall, Oxford.
Latin Alcaics, Translation from " The Bride of Abydos."
Wm. Wake Smart, Fifth Grecian.
Latin Hexameters, " Chersonesus Taurica." Richards' '
Prize Composition.—Ernest Montagu, First Grecian.

movement intervene.

This view is

favoured by the appearance of an Austrian Envoy
at the Neapolitan Court. None know better

than Austria and her ducal sycophants, Coßunus,
and what not, how to interpose the diplomatic

shield between a tyrant and the ministers o

justice. Austria is certainly at her dirty work.
If the Neapolitans understand their own inte-
rests they will avail themselves to the utmost of
the present opportunity, and rise in arms against
their tyrant. The more they do for themselves

the more they ,vill assuredly gain. Their ex

ample may be followed throughout Italy, in which
case they may be enabled to dispense with foreign
dictation as to their future. Should this hope
fail the more imposing their attitude is, the more
liberal will be the form of Government tendered
for their acceptance. Of one thing let them rest
assured—the EMPEROR, our ally, does not cpntem-
plate their having, if any plausible excuse of his

can prevent•it,. any more liberty than is possessed
by his subjects. England, to be sure, ought to
have something to say in the matter—that she
shall, depends on the people of the Two Sicilies.
Let them but command by their attitude the
respect and sympathy of Englishmen, and Lord
PALMERSTON will have to go further than, in all
probability, he intended. The great defect,
unfortunately, in the Italian movement is the
absence of accord in relation to the future. The
truest patriot is he who is prepared to subordi-
nate his preferences to the general wish, and the
most injurious ally ho who would force the
views of a minority on the majority.

MUTINY OF THE GERMAN LEGION.

PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY.
The duties of the court-martial, which commenced at
6 did not close until mid-
night.outla Devon Artillery, the
o'clock
This yesterday
morning
the
Loyal Marines, the depots of the 66th and 94th Regi-
meats, and the South Devon, Limerick, and Warwick-
shire Regiments of Militia having formed open square
on the parade in the Citadel, Gustav Shulze, a Prussian
by birth, and one of No. 6 company, received 50 lashes
from two men 1331ongiart to the 94th. The prisoner is
said to have insulted his colour-serjeant at Bovisand,
and, being ordered to be placed under arrest, called upon
his comrades to resist, when they all refused to obey
orders. This company is confined to their barrack-rooms
with a guard over them, and the Citadel continues closed
against civilians.
In noticing this case of gross insubordination at Ply-
mouth, it is desirable that it should be well known that
the men who compose this battalion were raised in
America, and have no connection whatever with the
force at Shorncliffe and at Scutari, recruited in Germany
by Baron Stutterheim.

METROPOLITAN TOLLS.—A. deputation, consisting of
the representatives of the various metropolitan parishes,
waited upon the Commissioners of Tolls yesterday at
their offices in Whitehall place, for the purpose of memo-
rialising the commissioners on the subject of the removal
of the metropolitan tolls. The Earl of Lonsdale, the
chairman, presided. Mr. Bradfield, who said he repre-
sented five districts, presented a memorial praying the
removal of the tolls, and made various statements to
prove their injurious effect. Other gentlemen addressed
the commissioners in support of the object in view. The
chairman, after hearing these statements, said that the
representations of the memorialists would receive every
attention from the commissioners.

THE PEACE AND THE COMING

ELECTIONS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlB,—You again appeal to the English people, and
right well are you upholding their cause; but it is la-
mentable to observe the apathy that exists among that
immense body of them who could not have considered
last Sunday as a day of "joy and satisfaction." Men
with whom I, for one, am in the habit of talking to,
seem now to be bewildered on the subject, but who some
months ago would not have said or thought that such
conditions of peace were honourable or likely to be
last►ng.

I should, perhaps, only spoil the cause which you so
vigorously and patriotically take up by saying another
yvord about it, except that, according to the saying now
in vogue, "the right man in the right place" should be
the watchword for constituents at the next election. It
is my intention (in consequence of his votes in the House
of Commons) not again to give my vote for the present
member, or any party candidate who may come forward
for the county in which I reside. How truly was it
said, " Party is the madness of many for the gain of a
few !"—Yours faithfully,
A FLINTSIIIRE ELECTOR AND OLD
SOLDIER.
