11ER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

" Lucrezia Borgia" was represented last evening with an
admirable cast. Titjens, as the Duchess, was in splendid
voice. Giuglini was an exquisite Gennaro ; from "Di
Pescatore" to " Pur-poiche dirlo e dato," through the lovely
trio with the tuke and Lucrezia, and thence to the restored
scena in act ii., opening " Cbm' e soave," all was the love-
liest of tenor singing. The applause at its close was im-
mense. Gassier is an Alfonso of the first rank. Madame
Lemaire played Orsini well. The choruses were well sung,
and the orchestra, under Arditi, close and effective in the
familiar and pleasing accompaniraenta of this excellent
opera.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 18th publish nume-
rous paragraphs respecting the attempted assassi-
nation of the Queen, near the Puerta del Sol ; but
all they say proves the affair was of no importance
whatever. In the lodgings of the culprit was
found a "Life of Masaniello." Although the mat-
ter seems of no real consequence, municipalities
and other public bodies were transmitting by tele-
graph their congratulations to the Queen on her
providential escape ; and the Correspondancia
mentions a report that six or seven persons had
been arrested for suspected participation in it. The
Nuncio at Madrid is stated within the last few
days to have remitted to the Pope 20,000,000 reels
(5,000,000 f.), which had been raised by the
bishops.

PASSPORTS IN NORWAY.—A Norwegian, in a
letter to a contemporary, says :—" In Saturday's impression
I read a letter dated Stockholm, the 10th of October, in
which tho writer informed you of the abolition of passports
in Sweden, at the same time stating that this is the first in•
stance of such a regulation in any part of continental
Europe. Allow me to say that this is slightly incorrect.
The initiative was taken by Norway, where the last Stor-
thing entirely did away with passports.
GALLANT LIFEBOAT SERVICES.—SIXTEEN LIVES
SIVED.—FLEETWOOD, Saturday.—This morning, about 8
o'clock, during a heavy gale of wind, with a very high sea
rolling over the banks, the American barque Vermont, of
Halifax, slipped both her anchors in the offing, and drove
before the gale on Barnett'sb ank, about three miles from
Fleetwood. The lifeboat belonging to the National Life
boat Institution was immediately manned by Capt. Wasey,
R.N., her coxswain, J. Fox, and a crew of eleven men.
After having been launched she was taken in tow by a
steam-tug, which took the lifeboat to windward of the ship.
After some difficulty and considerable skill on the part of
the crew, a communication was effected with the wreck,
from which 15 men and a pilot were fortunately taken off.
They wore soon afterwards safely brought on shore about
one o'clock. As soon as they were landed the services of
the lifeboat were again called into requisition ; but the re-
sult of her proceedings this time has not as yet been ascer-
tained. This excellent lifeboat has only been on this im-
portant station about 12 months, but during that period she
has been instrumental in rescuing during very stormy
weather 27 persons from a watery grave from the wrecked
vessels Anne Mitchell, of Montrose ; Catherine, of Newry ;
the Jane Roper, of Ulverstone ; and the barque Vermont,
of Halifax, as above related. Capt. Wasay, R.N., and the
• coxswain Fox have on each occasion been off in the lifeboat.

FRANCE.

The Constitutionnel publishes the following semi-
official statement, signed " Grandguillot," relative
to the report current that Baron Hubner had arrived
at Paris to sound the French Government as to how
it would act if Austria attacked Sardinia :
" The report has been spread in these last few days, with
systematic perseverance, that Austria had resolved to in-
tervene in Italy. One journal spoke yesterday even of a
sort of secret mission said to have been entrusted to an old
diplomatist, with a view to elicit from the French Govern-
ment an explanation on the bearing which, cas echeant, it
would attach to such an intervention.

" It is our duty to put the public on its guard against
reports of a nature to mislead public opinion and alarm
public interests.
" For some time Austria has given proof in her external
policy of a reserve and wisdom which it would be unjust
not to admit. The eminent statesman who is at the bead
of the Department of Foreign Affairs at Vienna knows bet-
ter than any one how much an offensive attitude of Austria
would complieate the state of affairs in Italy. A purely
defensive attitude of offers, moreover, too many advantages
to the Austrian Government for it to be supposed that it
would easily renounce it.
" As regards ourselves, we are fully convinced that this
is the line of conduct which she has adopted, and from
which she does not intend to depart."

BOURSE, Oct. 22.—The market has been more
buoyant, and prices show an improvement in the
closing rates of Saturday. For the Account, Threes

The Pope spoke of his solemn duties as a Christian
priest. The Emperor fell back on his necessities as
a French Sovereign. The propossd coronation ended
in smoke; the head of the French State and the
head of the itomish Church came out of the discus-
sion with a mortal grudge against each other ; and
all this because a designing and unscrupulous in-
triguer was defeated in his project of infusing
Loyolaism into every French prefct and,- maire,
and imbuing with its spirit the despatches of each
French diplomatist.
From that day to this the breach has been gra-
dually widening. At present certainly there is no
love lost on either side. But the relative position
of the Imperial and Papal parties is only exactly
understood when we bear in mind that it has been
from the very first a false one, and that this original
falsehood has to the present day been continually
receiving fresh additions.—Morning Post.

DBURY-LANE THEATRE.

Last night a complete change of performances took place
at this theatre, and the novelty of the evening was a one-act
comedietta, entitled " Cherry and Blue," which, though
evidently having a French origin, comes to us through the
United States, where it was played by Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Mathews. The acting of Mr. C. Mathews was, as usual,
very good. Mr. Lambert looked and acted the little there
was to do as an eld beau ♦ery well, and Miss Arden was
easy and agreeable as the wife. The popular farce of
" Little Toddlekins," in which Mr. C. Mathews and Mrs.
Frank Matthews took the principal parts, concluded the
evening's entertainment, which seemed highly satisfactory
to an audience which filled all parts of the house.

TEA.—The market has been very dull, and no change

sales of importance have been held, and in the private
market the dealings have been on a very limited scale at
late rates. In the refined market prices remain unaltered.
COFFER.—The demand for colonial descriptions has
been dull ; the arrivals, however, have been large, and
quotations share a slight depression. Stocks on hand,
however, show a deficiency of about 1,300 tons, compared
with those of the same period last year.
KICK.—A very limited demand has been experienced for
East India, and to effect sales lower rates had to be sub-
mitted to by holders. The business transacted, however,
was very limited.
SALTPETRE.—There has been a better inquiry for the
finer descriptions, and
_prices remain steady.
TALLOW.—The market has shown rather more activity,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A " GENTLEMAN" CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.—John
Williams, address refused, was charged before Mr. Beadon,
with stealing a waterproof cape from the shop of Mrs.
Elizabeth Hemmings, hosier, &c., 14, Tichborne-street.
Mr. Wm. Gooby, manager of Mrs. Hemmings' business,
stated that about eight the previous night, from what he
was told, he went out and saw the prisoner with the cape,
which he had seen safe a few minutes before on a peg in
the doorway, in his possession. While struggling with
the prisoner he dropped the cape and made off, but being
pursued by him, was ultimately caught by Mires, 48 C,
and taken into custody.

Prisoner said he did not take the cape, but with another
"gentleman" pursued the wicked thief who did take it.
Mr. Beadon told him he was charged with stealing the
cape—he would ask him whether he was guilty or not ?
The prisoner no longer called himself a "gentleman,"
but hurriedly preferred having it settled at once.
Mr. Beadon committed the prisoner for six months with
hard labour.

The prisoner's hurry in wishing the case settled was now
explained, for a gentleman who happened by accident to be
in court said he believed the prisoner was the same fellow
who stole a piece of cloth from his house in New Bond-
street 18 months ago, and received four months' imprison-
ment for it.

SOCIAL CON:

riallVali

A movement, thus far conducted prig ately,ced, but
now sufficiently mature to be publicly announ
has resulted in the appointment of a. conference to
be held in Birmingham on We
Brougham,dr
-esdar, the 23d
January. It is promoted by Lords
Shaftesbury, Teignmouth, Sir. J. Pakington, M.P.,
Sir Strafford Northeote, m :p., Sir A. H. Elton,
Sir Andrew Agnew, M. 2,, Sir H. W. Moncreiff,
Mr. Adam Black, M.P.., the Lord Pr,,vost of Edin-
burgh, Mr. M. D. Hit), Recorder of. Birmingham,
Miss Mary Carpenter, and numeroris other eminent
members of the party devoted to. the cause of social
improvement. The object of the conference is to
bring to bear on Govrrnment arguments which
will lead to the grant of public money towards the
education of childrrzn who are neither criminals nor
paupers, but whose parents are either unwilling or
unable to pro Tide them witli it, partly or wholly,
at their own expense. The promoters of the move-
ment first lay it down as an axiom that the State
ought to furnish education to those who have no
other means of obtaining it ; they next point out
that this is a duty practically recognised in the
case of pauper and criminal children, and then
claimed for" neglected and destitute" children in
general a right to participate in the same advan-
tage. By way of enforcing these considerations
on general attention, they undertake, at the forth-
coming conference, to establish the following six
points :—First, that at present no part of the Par-
liamentary grant for education is available for the
general use of neglected children ; secondly, that
this is a very numerous class ; thirdly, that the
operations of Ragged and Industrial Schools have
already proved that an immense amount of good
is capable of beiig done by the influence of edu-
cation in this neglected field; fourthly, that such
schools are unable, without public support, to deal
with the evil effectually; fifthly, that the volun-
tary action of Christian benevolence is a neces-
sary element in the working of such schools ; and
sixthly, that it is the duty of Government, by
the liberal grant of pecuniary aid, to promote the
necessary development of the schools, and to
enable others to be established, so that the urgent
wants of society may be fulfilled.—Birmingliaw

TURKEY.

-----
A letter from Constantinople, dated Nov. 30, says :
—I have more than once alluded to the.scarcely dis-
guised intention of the French Government to keep
its troops in Syria beyond the term fixed for their
withdrawal. This is a matter which appears to me to
demand the most serious attention of the other
Powers. The question will probably be found to
resolve itself into a discussion of the terms on which
a continued occupation shall be allowed, and
whether other Powers besides France should not
send troops. Whatever may be my own opinion, it
is worse than useless to attempt to conceal facts
such as the following, which I extract from a letter
recently received from Beyrout, The writer is no
friend to an exclusively French occupation. "It
seems certain that the occupation will last a great
deal longer than it was first :stipulated ; and there
seems really some necessity for it. The population
wish it, and the opinion among th3m (Arabs as
well as Europeans) appears to be, that the moment
the French leave there will be fresh disturbances.
The French, on their part, do all they can to spread
and strengthen this opinion."
A communication was some days since made by
the Austrian Government to the Porte, to the effect
that six vessels had started from some of the Sar-
dinian ports laden with arms and munitions of war.
It was supposed that their cargoes were destined for
importation into Hungary by the Danube, and the
Turkish authorities were requested to intercept
e them, It is believed that two or three of these Tee-

In consequence of a decision taken by the Turkish
Government, in accordance with the desire expressed by
MM. J. Mires and Co., it is agreed that the payment of
interest on, and the redemption of the new loan until the
entire payment of the loan is completed, shall be granted to

payment of interest and the redemption of the loan will
alio take place atlhe Caisse Generale dei,Chernins de Fer.
At the suggestion of MM. Mires and Co. a mixed com-
mission has been named by the Turkish Government.
This commission is constituted into a committee, who
will supervise the operations connected with the liew loan.
The following are the names of the members of this com-
mission :
