SICILY.

A letter from Palermo of the 12th, in the German
Journal of Frankfort, states that an attempt at insur-
rection iu nfcily had been made by Baron Rite and
other noblemen, with a view to proclaim the indepen-
dence of Sicily, and compel the KING to abdicate us King
of Sicily, in favour of his son FRANCIS. A portion of
the inhabitants of Palermo declared themselves in favi.ar
of this project, and thu 13th Regiment fraternised with
them, but by the energy of the authorities the move-
ment was soon checked, and several arrests, including
some officers of the 13th Regiment, were made.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
THE TYROLESE SINGERS.

A party of five vocalists—a bass, three tenors, and a
soprano—who execute national Tyrolean music, and
wbo, in October last, sang at Windsor Castle, and were
honoured by the approbation of the Royal party, made
their first public appearance in London last evening, at
the St. James's Theatre. The entire group appeared
dressed in their national costume, the men—stalwart-
looking fellows—in short red waistcoats, broad em-
broidered leather belts and breeches, with the high-
crowned hat adorned with ribbons; the woman, who
has much the air of an honest Welsh dairymaid, wear-
ing the same style of hat, a dark boddice, and shortish
petticoats. The music consists almost entirely of part sing-
ing, the style of the compositions being marked by that
strong and emphatic rhythm, and that tendency to jodling
melody which we are familiar with as characteristics of
Alpine music. The moreeclux aro uniformly pleasing,
and the choruses and retrains very taking. The execu-
tants have evidently been long accustomed to sing to-
gether, and so have acquired that nicety of ensemble
and precision of tune which ought to distinguish con-
certed vocal music. The jodling choruses were capitally
given, and with a perfection of tune which is nut always
attained in these leaps from octave to octave. The
performers seem to be honest country people, and there
is a plainness and an absence of all attempts at mere-
tricious display about the entertaintment which make it
doubly interesting. One of the features of the evening
was an air, " Evening bells," played upon the zither, a
national instrument, which appears to be a sort of gui-
tar with metallic strings, laid fiat upon the table. The
performer managed, by producing harmonies upon the
strings, to get a very good imitation of the sound of
distant bells, and the cleverness of the trick and the
closeness of the resemblance were loudly applauded.

FIRE IN OYFORD-STREET.—Yesterday morning, at
a few minutes before four o'clock, great alarm was caused in
the immediate vicinities of Regent-street and Oxford-street,
in consequence of a destructive fire occurring on the premises
belonging to Mr. Robert Tritton, licensed victualler, known
as the Nag's Head Tavern, situate at No. 343, Oxford-street.
The damage done is thus certified by Mr. Superintendent
Braidwood : Mr. R. Tritton, the Nag's Head, 343, Oxford-
street ; the concert room on first floor, behind the house,
burnt out, roof damaged by fire, and ceilings under by water
and fire. Mr Tritton was insured in the Guardian Fire-
office. Nos. 341 and 341 Oxford-street, Mrs. Mary Hos-
kings, back windows and frames broken; insured in the
mS uonv a to:IIe. insured N

worker; contents of back workshops damaged by hasty re-
the Westminster office.
A LITERARY MAGDALEN.—DaiIy, about noon, the
loungers under the " Linden " at Berlin are startled by the
extraordinary appearance of a tall, lanky woman, whose
thin limbs are wrapped up in a long black robe or coarse
cloth. An old crumpled bonnet covers her head, which con-
tinually moving turns restlessly in all direcions. Her
hollow cheeks are flushed with a morbid, coppery glow ; one
of her eyes is immovable, for it is of glass, but her other
eye shines with a feverish brilliancy, end a strange and
almost awful smile hovers constantly about her thin lips.
This woman moves with an unsteady, quick step, and when
ever her black mantilla is flung back by the violence of her
movements a small rope of hair, with a crucifix at the end,
is plainly seen to bind her waist. This black, ungainly
woman is the quondam authoress, Countess Ida Hahn-
Hahn, who has turned a Catholic, and is now preparing for
a pilgrimage to Rome, to crave the Pope's absolution for
her literary trespasses.— Weser Zeitung.
ORPHAN WORKING SCHOOL, HAVERSTOCK-HILL.
—The general halt-yearly meeting of the governors of this
corporation took place yesterday at the London Tavern, for
the purposs of receiving the hall-yearly report, and for the
election of twenty-five children into the school— seventeen
boys and eight girls. The Lord Mayor presided ; and
having briefly introduced the business, Mr. Joseph Soul, the
secretary, read the report, which was unanimously adopted,
as were the visual resolutions arising out of the half-yearly
business. Mr. Elias Charlier, in seconding a vote of thanks
to the clergymen who had preached the anniversary ser-
mons, stated that at the end of seven years the institution
would have completed the centenary of its existence. As
they had a large portion of unoccupied ground at Haver-
stock-hill, he suggested that the friends of the institution
should endeavour to raise a fund of 5001. in each of those
seven years, which would be about 4,000/. With this sum
they might build an additional wing to the school, and in-
crease the number of inmates to 500. The Lord Mayor, in
acknowledging the vote of thanks, referred to the fact, that
no former Ltrd Mayor had occupied the chair of that insti-
tution, though he knew they had presided over others of a
kindred spirit. Ile felt it is duty, in the high pueition to
which his fellow-citizens had raised him, to embrace every
legitimate opportunity of promoting the instruction and im-
provement of the rising generation; and, considering°, that
this institution was capable of doing vast good in the me-
tropolis, it should always have his warmest support. The
governors fsen proceeded to the election of inmates.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet,
but prices were steady; sales 8,000 bales, of which 2,000
were taken on speculation.—Railway Shares were quiet
at rather lower prices.
A very extraordinary increase of bullion is shown
again in the Bank of England weekly return to
the 22E1 inst., unaccompanied by any extension of
business, for under the head which represents
discounts and loans a reduction appears. This,
added to further amounts paid in to the public revenue,
eurtailed the active circulation. As the metallic stuck
rises the note issues have to be extended; and failing
employment for them, the amount reserved in the Bank
" till " is augmented. Compared with the previous week
the following changes are shown:—

Three months' bills were mostly negotiated yesterday
afternoon on 'Change at fully previous rates. Paris,
25 30 to 32f; A msierdam, 11 18i to 181; Hamburgh,
13 10f to 101; Frankfurt, 1201 to i; Trieste, 12 48 to
52. The last mentioned might be deemed a shade
lower, but Holland slightly better.
The Committee of Spanish Bondholders, presided over
by Mr. Cape!, will be ready next Monday to receive, by
the medium of their bankers, the stock destined for con-
version; and, considering the,obvious advantage of obtain-
ing a receipt for the coupons which may one day be re-
cognised in full, we should imagine that the small charge
made by the committee to defray expenses upon the issue
of the new bonds will be cheerfully paid, even if no claim
had bsen established upon the gratitude of their con-
stituents for past exertions. That the questiou of the
50 per cent. coupons will not be lost sight of by Mr.
Weisweiller the following extracts from a speech deli-
vered by him at a meeting of home creditors at Madrid
will serve to show:—

" I indulge this hope with so much more reason, as
the only objections which can be raised would be either
the absence of justice or want of possibility. Justice no
one can deny to claims so sacred as are those for the
said coupons, due and unpaid during eleven consecutive
years, the creditors for which, instead of claiming pay-
ment in cash, with the addition of interest due on its
amount, to which they would be entitled in a mercantile
view, have given proof of the greatest moderation which
ever a creditor has shown towards a debtor, renouncing
their right for a rente which only, after a lapse of 20
years, will attain the footing of three per cent.
" Possibility, no one will deny to so great a nation as
Spain, and much leas so after that nation being consulted
upon the question in the general elections, and to a cer-
tain degree special for the object, has declared that even
at the cost of a great sacrifice, it desires to be reckoned
among the honourable nations who acknowledge and pay
their debts with the same punctuality as an individual
could do who respects his honour and dignity. This
noble nation, which has sent to the Congress a msjority
favourable to the settlement of the debt, certainly would
not wish, if consulted anew, to weaken that probity by
means of a reduction, which deserves another epithet, it'
instead of being provisional, it should be deemed el« fini-
live. And all those just remonstrances would be silenced
by means of so insignificant a sum as eight millions of
reels, which would be necessary during the first four
years, and which, gradually increasing every two years,
would attain in 20 years a maximum of 24 millions of
reals, au amount very insignificant in itself, and still more
so when it affects the dignity and probity of a nation to
wards its creditors who have supported so many sacrifices."
The state of trade at Loads continues dull, and also
at Leicester; but the Manchester market has been
brisker. - -

The quantity of bullion exported from London dur-
ing the week to Thursday last was 157,030 ounces of
silver, and 8,200 ounces of gold.
