HOLBORN AMPHITHEATRE.

Last evening an entire change of performance
took place at this very elegant place of entertain-
ment. The principal feature. was the substitution
of a humorous ballet for the farce which has hitherto
closed the performance. The alteration is a decided
improvement, and so indeed thought the whole of
the audience assembled last evening to witnes3 its
first representation. The fun is produced by the
gallant action of a monkey, whom a good-natured
Jack Tar has brought home with him from
South America. Jockey, in turn, defends the
property of his master from the incursions
of the Indians, and finally triumphs over all,
though not without the loss of his tail.
The production caused the greatest laughter,
and it must be pronounced a decided success. The
" Scenes in the Arena" are now of a peculiarly at-
tractive description, and many of them of:an en-
tirely novel character. The performances of
Zamor, the Russian fire-horse,
is astonishing, as
the splendid animal performs various acts through
large sheets of flame. Mdlle. Rochez is a decided
acquisition, and her pleasing feats of
equitation
called forth enthusiastic applause. Miss Powell,
also a new corner, is a very clever artiste, and gave
her part of the evening's entertainment in a most
graceful manner. Madame Rose Gerard called
forth loud applause by her fearless and courageous
performance, and Mr. M. A. Bradley is indubitably
one of the most finished equestrians that has ever
appeared in public. The performance of the acro -
bats and the witticisms of the jesters attached to
the establishment is of the best deoription, and,
altogether, a most enjoyable entertainment is pro-
vided for the public by the talented managers of
the amphitheatre. The present sultry weather
proves how admirably thenew building is ventilated,
as throughout the entire evening a delightfully cool

tation from 100 Italian towns. Count Boschetti

ITALY.

FLORENCE, July 2.

In yesterday's sittings of the Chamber of Depu-
ties the discussion of the Ecclesiastical Property
Bill was fixed for Wednesday next. The commer-
cial treaty between Italy and Austria then came on
for discussion. A motion was brought forward by
some of the members proposing the postponement
of the debate until the question of the settlement of
the frontiers had been decided. Signor Bixio said
he knew that Austria and other Powers were pre-
paring a treaty containing clauses hostile to the
policy of Italy, to which the President of the Coun-
cil replied that he was in total ignorance of
the fact. Nevertheless, he was aware that
some time ago one Power had attempted
to induce Austria, France, and Prussia to
conclude a treaty unfavourable to Italy, but
the attempt had failed, and it was improbable that
the aforesaid Power would soon renew the attempt.
He also maintained that the commercial treaty with
Austria was advantageous to Italian interests. In
reference to the revision of the frontiers he hoped
that by the establishment of friendly relations
with Austria a boundary settlement favourable to
both States should be obtained.

The motion for the postponement of the debate
was lost.
