ASTLEY'S AMPHITLIEATRE.

The extraordinary success achieved by the enterprising
lessee of the Royal Amphitheatre in the produetion of
" Richard the Third" has induced him to bring forward
another Shakiiperian spectacle. " Macbeth " has been
selected, and, although it does, nut admit of so much
effect as " Richard the Third, ' at nevertheless has en-
abled Mr. W. Cooke to produce a very attractive enter-
tainment. The applause bestowed upon the performance
lasthheer
part e v enic
g was immense, and at the fall of the curtain
loud calls for Mr. Holloway, who sustained
wereci the noble', Thane with great
,ability. The
success of " Macbeth bids
fair to outrival " Richard."
The entertainments ware brought to a conclusion by
the ever attractive and amusing "Scenes in the Arena,"
in which Miss Kate Cooke particularly distinguished
herself. The house was crowded to excess.

jr, LEIGH MURRA.Y.—This gentleman has been coin-
pelted, by a severe attack of bronchitis—very prevalent
at this season in London---to abstain from performing
at the Adelphi Theatre. The new drama of a "Border
Marriage " has, therefore, been withdrawn.
The amateurs who performed with so much eclat at
the St. James's Theatre for the Patriotic and Crimean
Funds, and the officers who So distinguished themselves
before her Majesty last month at Aldershot, purpose
giving a dramatic performance at the St. .James's
Theatre, on Friday, December 5. The proceeds will be
devoted to the "relief of destitution in the metropolis
during the winter season." The box plan will be kept
at Mr. Sam's Royal Library, St. James's-street. We
need scarcely say that our friends who wish to be pre-
sent should lose no time in securing seats.
Advices from Melbourne to the 9th, and from Sydney
to the 12th of September, by way of Callao, were received
yesterday. The Golden Era, from Liverpool, with the
mail of the 19th of June, had arrived at Port Philip on
the 9th or 10th of September. The True Briton, with
the mail for London, was to sail on the 12th September.
The departures from the port of London for the Aus-
tralian colonies during the past week 'have comprised
only two vessels—one for Port Philip, the other for
Hobart Town, with an aggregate capacity of 1,542
tons. The rates cif freight have exhibited greater firm-

THE INSURRECTION IN SICILY.
NAPLES, DEC. 1.

Baron Bentivenga is at the head of the insur-
rection in Sicily, at Cefalta, near Palermo.
Order is not yet re-established.

Naples was trauquil.

NAPLES, Nov. 27.

Whatever may be the opinion of the right of
intervention, the universal impression here is that
a step has been taken which involves another,

that it is impossible to recede, and still more
impossible to accept the shadow for the sub-
stance, and that now the only mode of promoting
the interests of this country, or of saving
England from scorn and ridicule, is to take
yet a bolder step in advance. At present every
one and everything is in suspense, and it would
seem as if the circulation of the very life-blood of
the nation had been suspended. In the provinces,
perhaps, there is not more but a bolder
expression of it ; and my information speaks of
many arrests in the province of Salerno, and espe-
cially the district of Vallo. It is said that upwards
of 100 names were entered on the police lists,
and that many of these had been recently arrested ;
among them some of a family called Mignoni.
In taking these latter to prison a rescue had
been attempted, and several of the gensdarmes
wounded. At Cosenaa, too, there has been some
disturbance, but, I believe, of no great import-
ance. In the capital attempts are made to tam-
per with the soldiery, and report speaks of some
recent arrests made among the military. The ad-
dress to the soldiers, which I translate and send
you, is now in course of circulation in Naples,
and sufficiently indicates where the hopes of the
people lie in the event of any movement. The
address is as follows :

" Valiant military fellow citizens,---You declare
that you desire not anarchy or revolution, neither
do we desire them ! But neither you nor we can
or ought to suffer such a state of things as the
present, which has called down upon it the reproof
of even the Conservative Governments of Europe.
Men without faith or heart, under the semblance
of the conservation of order, rule over us, contrary
to public opinion, contrary to morality, contrary to
the wishes of all. Dotards and cowards, they
oppress the country because they depend on your
valour, on your honour, on your loyalty. Be,,
in God's name, Soldiers, are you the men
to permit that the blood shed by you, and those
sentiments which so much honour you, should
serve to gratify the insatiable thirst of those rep-
tiles who call themselves directors of police. Will
you, Italians, endure that Italian fellow-citizens be
insulted, that your country be oppressed ? Will
you let them liken you to the Swiss ; you, who
have not sold your arms to any one ; but who,
Heaven be praised, have swomn to use it for

the maintenance of the law ? And what law
is there more sacred than that to which you
have already sworn in the sight of God
One and Three—before Italy, before all Europe,
before severe history, which then was present to
register your oath. Consider, then, that silence
would give you the appearance of accomplices or
timid persons. Show that You are neither the one
nor the other ; that you aro not the blind instru-
ments of those who feed on the blood and tears of
8,000,000 of men. 0, break in two that bread.
which you receive, and you will find it formed of
that blood and of those tears. Should, then, 0
Soldiers ! the country declare its legitimate and
legal wishes, show it your sytnpatby—do not oppose
it—second it in whatever way you will. Save the
country from misfortune, while you will acquire
the reputation of the liberators of your country.'

VIENNA, Nov. 22.

You have already received some important in-
formation relative to the Bessarabian frontier
question, and I am now enabled to tell you what
map was used at the Paris Conferences. At first
a Russian map was produced, but as the Repre-
sentatives of the Allied Powers objected to it on
the plea that they could not read the _Russian
(Cyrillic) characters, a French one was substituted.
The French map of Bessarabia, which was the
work of the Etat illjor, was fetched from the
Depot de la Guerre, and my informant positively
affirms that oily one Bolgracl (Tabac) was marked
on it.

The Nord of Bru3sels states that M. d'Antonini
is shortly to leave for Naples, where he has been
summoned by the King.

" Baron de Sydow," says the Berlin corre-
spondent of the Nord of Brussels, "has received
orders to break oft all relations with the S SiSS
Government and to leave Borne."

By a royal ordonnanc©, date]. November 2'l,
" modified constitution"—the same as that pre-
sented to, and rejected by, the Chamber of Be-

putics, who refused to discuss its provisions—is
declared in force throughout the Grand Duchy of
Luxembourg. The Chamber is dissolved. The

country is quiet.

A letter from Berlin of the 28th ult., in the
Debats, says :—" It is positively alErnvld that
a resolution has been come to by the ministry
here to notify to the great powers, before any
ulterior proceedings are adopted with respect
to Neuchatel, the result of the steps which
Prussia has hitherto taken, and to request them
to make known as soon as possible to the Prus-
sian Government the measures which they intend
to take in order to replace the principality of
Neuchatel in the situation required by the final
act of the congress of Vienna. The communica-
tions made by the Count de Hatzfeldt have cer-
tainly contributed to this resolution, for only a
few days ago the irritation which existed in the
highest quarter was so great that it was thought
military measures would be resorted to, and that
negotiations would not be entered on. For the mo-
ment the eventuality of armed operations by
Prussia is removed, but it must not be imagined
that the idea of them is completely abandoned,
for the greatest activity still prevails at the Mi-
nistry of War, and no surprise would be felt at
seeing the government demand from the Chambers
credits for eventual armaments. The King is very
much affected at the refusal of the Swiss Federal
Council to release the prisoners, and he fears that
these men, whom he considers as martyrs to his
rights, may undergo fresh suffering."

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
There is no further intelligence concerning the
revolutionary movement near Palermo. Some time
may pass before any details are known, berate
steamers do not leave Sicily every day. If the
movement is an important one we shall next hear
of risings in various parts of the island, and pro-
in the Neapolitan provinces of the continental
dominions.
The The Bank of France has not deemed it advisable
to make any relaxation in the measures that have
been recently taken ; doubtless it • has resolved
to allow the settlement of the 30th ult. to pas:'
over before making any further change, but that
a return to 75 days will shortly be ruled is generally
hoped and believed ; some even go so far as to
hope that by the middle of the present month 00
days will be returned to. Already several private
banking and discount houses have taken the initia-
tive, and are negJtiatiug paper having the longest
of these periods to run. This month o December,

which Ins been so much feared, does not at present
exiobit any indications of crisis or difficulty.
PiOparatiOUS are now being made by order of
Colonel Lepic, orderly officer to the Emperor,"
says the AL:moriat des Pyreiges, "for the recep-
tion :It the chat eau of Pau of the Duke and Duchess
of Hamilton, who are expected there about Christ-
mas."
