Count Collorado, the Austrian ambassador, has been
commissioned to compliment the Pope on the political
results of his tour in the provinces. From this we may
conclude the Cabinet of Vienna is well satisfied that his
Holiness has not listened to any political addresses.
The Pope returns to Rome in September.
BER MAJESTY'S TREATRE.—The extra farewell per.
formaocea given at the above theatre during the present
week have been greatly successful; as indeed they
could scarcely have failed to be with such immense
attractions, whether in opera or ballet, as each
proiraturne offered, at unprecedently low prices
of admission. Last night Rossini 's charming 'La
Cenerentola," with the following cast—Angelina,
Madame Alboni ; Magnifico, Signor Rossi ; Ramiro,
Signor Belart ; and Dandini, Signor Bellettil; was per-
forme 1 for the first time since last year. We need
scarcely add that Maclaine Alboni was enthusiastically
applauded in all her efforts, or that her incomparable
reoderiug of the univer,ally popular "Non pits meeta"
elicited the cu,tonsary encore. The house was crowded
in every part.
FIRE AT LAMBETH WORKIIOI73E.—Last night, about
8 o'clock, a fire, of a very alarming nature, broke out
in that portion of the building occupied by the sick
and infirm inmates. The whole of the occupants of
the sick ward were removed with safety, and, after
the most strenoous exertions of the firemen, the fire,
which was fortunately confined to that part of the
workhouse in which it originated, was subdued.

meetings for the National Temperance League, and
then go to Scotland until the end of December.—
Weekly Record.
THE WATER Or THE SERPENTINE.—A very interesting
report, Micoscopicat and Chemical, by Dr. Hassell, on
the water of the Serpentine, has just been submitted to
the House of Commons, and ordered to be printed. It
clearly proves that this water is in a very bad and un-
wholesome state, and demonstrates the necessity for
some efficient remedial measures being retorted to. Dr.
Hassell suggests that steps should be taken similar in
principle to those which have already been carried into
eff-ct, fix the purification of the water of the lake in St.
James's Park. He considers that the Serpentine should
be erupted, and all the bleak and putrid mud, the col-
lection of the impurities of years, removed ; that the
bottom should be levelled, rendered more shallow, and
of one uniform depth of about 4 feet ; that, it should
be covered with concrete ; and lastly, that it should be sup-
plied with pure spring water' arrangements being made
with the water companies for a temporary supply of
water, in the event of the supply from the springs falling
short at any time. These measures the doctor states are
to be most strongly advocated, not only on sanitary
grounds, but on that of humanity. Not only could
bathers resort to the Serpentine in greater numbers, and
with more advantage to their health, not only would
the atmosphere near the water be more healthful, but
the lives of hundreds of persons would eventually be
wed.
