THE SUN, LONDON TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 13, 1' 60.

Well, CAVOUR, RICASOLI, and FARINI take him at
his word. England, to please him, proposes a
second vote; the„ltalians, to please him, accept the
proposal; _butilien, at last, the danger of "falling
into the pit which he had dug" stares him in the
:ace. He leaps back. He meant the pit to catch
CAVOUR, and to break his bones, not to break his
own Imperial neck. He now has the folly and
meanness to argue that universal suffrage will not do
for Tuscany ! The immortal plea—for history will
never forget or forgive it from such a man—is that
universal suffrage is all right for the internal
concerns of a people, but not for their external
relations--those external relations being the re-
lation of monarch and subjects, representatives
and represented, and union with, or separation
from, an adjoining portion of their own race ! Ire-
land and Scotland had, on this theory, far less right
to vote on their relations to England than have
the Tuscans to vote on their relation to Piedmont.

Surely the indignant voice of Europe will pro-
test against such Imperial shuffling as this. Even
Austria must despise it. He has placed, indeed, a
pleasant bait before her. He, the violator of all
European arrangements, whose very empire is a
violation of them, who desires to violate them now
in Savoy—he talks of Europe having engaged the
throne of Tuscany for the LORRAINE dynasty ! As
if it had not engaged also that of France for the
BOURBONS ! It is impossible to maintain the least
respect for such a diplomatist. While he adhered
to his universal suffrage theory, pure et simple,
although we should deny his right to enforce it on
the States of Italy, yet he was self-consistent. We
could respect consistency, as Englishmen are often
prone to do when repentance would be more re-
spectable. But such open trifling with his own
great principle, and for such manifestly self-willed
and selfish objects, can meet with nothing but uni-
versal contempt.
Nor is this all—perhaps not the worst—univer-
sal suffrage would do, while it would be likely to
keep Tuscany open for a BONAPARTE ; it
would do, also, while it would give Savoy
to France but immediately it would not
do either of these things, its obvious rights
must be cut down in Tuscany—but it must
be given up in Savoy altogether! VICTOR EMMA-
NUEL must cede Savoy to the Imperial Nabob by
his own direct Roval act ! The Municipalities
may be consulted, because purchaseable, but that
will be suffic'ent ! We refrain from characterising
such diplomacy by appropriate epithets. Every
reader can supply them.

Sincerely do we hope that this disgraceful pal-
tering with the rights of others, and with diplo-
matic decency, will meet its just reward. The
King of Sardinia intends to ask the universal
population of Savoy whom they wish to reign over
them ; and he declares that he will accept the
vote of all the States, be it what it may. He is
threatened with the subtraction of French sup-
port; but really should that bring Austria into
the field again, we do believe Sardinia will obtain
the addition of support which shall more than
compensate for the loss of that of France. Aus-
tria, however, has probably had enough of it for
the present. With Hungary and Venetia to
pacify if she can, and to garrison while she can-
not, she is putty well bound over to keep the
peace. She has experienced the results of fighting
for territory where she is detested, and she may
wisely think that quietness is her only safety.
Naples, by the last accounts, also, has more than
enough on her hands. We may confidently hope,
then, that the only result of the French soldiers
being withdrawn from Italy will be, that Italy
will arouse herself to make her paternal army one
which Austrian mercenaries may think it better to
leave alone.

PROFESSOR ANDERSON IN CALIFORNIA.

(Front the San Francisco Daily Times of Jan. 23.)

Professor Anderson, in his parting thanks to the citizens
of San Francisca, said :—"A wish was expressed in the
pages of the Alta California, some days ago, to know the
number of persons Who had visited my performances. I
will here give the statistics collated from my books :

IN umber of magical representations in the evening 21
Number of magical representations on Saturday
afternoons 3

Total 24

Total of the audiences 37,030
Number of representations of Rob Roy 6
Total of the audiences 9,510
Total number of payments at the door for a month 46,645
Now, I believe that the population of San Francisco is
estimated at about 90,000, and out of this number there
must be many who never visited, and who cannot go to 'a
theatre. It will be seen that more than half the entire po-
pulation have attended the Opera House during my stay;
that is supposing that each visitor came but once, though
I believe that there ought to be a considerable discount
taken off the above number for those who came two or three
times.

The receipts at the treasury of the theatre during the
period have been as follows :
Dollars,
First week, Magic
Second week, Magic
Third week, Magic 7,006
Fourth week, Rob Roy

31,895

His Royal Highness Prince Frederick of the
of the Netherlands, previous to his departure from Lon-
don, honoured Mr. Harry Emanuel, of Hanover-sqaare,
with an interview, and was pleased to order from him
several pieces of gold presentation plate.
Her Majesty has presented Mr. W. B. Donne,
examiner of plays, who has had the direction of the recent
theatrical performances at Windsor,with a handsome silver
inkstand, in token that his services have been duly appre-
ciated. Mr. Donne has also received her Majesty's com-
mands to continuo to direct the Windsor theatricals.

THE EARL or ELGlN.—Yesterday morning the
Earl of Elgin left town for Paris to consult with the French
Government preparatory to taking his departure for China.
The noble earl is not likely to be detained beyond the end of
the week in the French capital, when his lordship returns to
London. It is not expected that the noble earl will leave for
the East before the close of this or the first week in the en-
mining month.

With reference to the notice yesterday of the
proposed acceleration in the day mail service between Lon-
don and Paris,• which- will be first-class only, it appears
that this alteration will not interfere with the tidal service
via Folkestone and Boulogne. Arrangement; have ,already
been completed between the South-Eastern and the French
Great Northern Companies for the tidal service from the
Ist of May next being performed in about 10 hours, an un-
precedented speed for the journey between the two capitals.

According to a circular of Messrs. Arles, Dufour,
and Co., of Lyons, transactions in tho silk market during
the past month have been checked by the uncertainty with
regard to the result of the discussion on the commercial
treaty in the English Parliament. The unsatisfactory ad-
vices from the United States have alsocontributed to create
dullness in the French as well as in all other continental silk
markets. The average decline in prices during the month
has been limited, however, to between 2 and 3 per coat., the
comparative smallness of stocks preventing any serious
depreciation.

of the company, would admit of their continuing to realise
its property advantageously. The chairman, is moving
the adoption of the report and accounts, said they had been
gradually increasing in their sales. For the six mouths
ending December, 1858, they sold 725 ; for six months,
June, 1859, 1,197 tons; December, 1859, 2,311; and the
first two months of the present year, 1.101 tone. The re-
port and accounts were adopted, and a dividend at the rate
of 5 per cent. per annum declared.

COVENT-GARDEN.

After a season of unexampled success, Mr. W.
Harrison takes his benefit on Saturday evening
next, on which occasion 'Wallace's grand legendary
opera of " Lurline," and the grand pantomime of
" Puss in Boots" will be repeated. The interest
created in the musical world by Mr. Wallace's new
opera is immense, and, if it be possible, the an-
nouncement of the close of the English Opera
season at this theatre has increased it: The appli-
cations at the box-office already for places exceed
the limits of the theatre. Mr. Harrison has, in
order to gratify the wishes of the public, succeeded
in prolonging his tenure of the magnificent build-
ing for nine additional nights, which will imme-
diately follow the benefit night of Mr. Harrison,
and finally terminate on Wednesday, the 28th,
which has appropriately been fixed for the benefit
of Miss Louisa Pyne. An overflowing bumper is
the appropriate reward of Mr. Harrison's abundant
merit, and it is to be hoped that this well-deserved
tribute of public esteem will be accorded to him
on Saturday evening.
