the manner in Which her wif.hes were elrried out
in this particular, as well us with all the other
arrangements. of the Dublin and Wicklow Com-
pany. Lord Carlisle showed much agility i;i
escaping from the pliliferm the moment the train
had arrived, and hurried off to the Viceregal
Lodge, to be in readiness to receive his royal miti-
tress. A guard of honour occupied the front of
the station. in Westland-row, and an escort of
Dragoons surrounded the royal carriages. Outside
of them, a sovereign's best body-guard, a numerous
and loyal people, filled the streets, crowded all
the windows, crested the houseto?s, and convul-
sively hugged the chimneys. There was mere
cheering here, especially when the royal carriaße
was thrown open, and the people could see its
illustrious occupants. Her Mkjesty bowed fre-
quently, and dro7e off at a moderate pace to the
Viceregal Lodge, where it was understood sh,-,
would devote the remainder of the day to rest and
refreshment, after her rather tedious and not over-
pleasant voyage. It has blown a gale of wind here
all the morning, with driving rain, but it looks now
as if we were going to have a spell of " Queecs
weather." The engine was driven by Mr. Samuel
Wilfred Eaughton, nephew to the chairman of the
Great Southern and Western Railway, and engineer-
in-chief to the Dublin, Wexford, and Wexford line.
DUBLIN, FRIDAY NIGHT.

Great crowds occupied all the principal thorough-
fares for the greater part of the day in expectation
of seeing and welcoming the Queen. They remained
in the streets until an advanced hour, and some of
them were not disappointed, for about half-past five
her Majesty left the Viceregal Lodge, accompanied
by the Princess Alice, the Prince Consort, the Lord-
Lieutenant, and Lady Churchill, and drove through
the principal streets of the city, without, however,
stopping at any place, or visiting any of the public
buildings. This was the cause of some disappoint-
ment, as the crowds who promenaded the city were
anxious to greet her Majesty.

DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING.
The Queen and Royal party, together with the
distinguished personages now at the Viceregal and
Secretary's Lodges, will leave by a• special train, at
ten o'clock this morning, for the Curragh, to be pre-
sent at a grand military review. It is said there
will be 20,000 troops on the•ground, and no doubt
double that number of civilians will be present.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.
e

The season at this favourite place of amusement
was brought to a close last evening, when the fol-
lowing address was delivered by its spirited and
popular manager, Mr. Robson :
" Ladies and Gentlemen,—After a season that
has lasted nearly two 'years, and has therefore in-
cluded something like eight seasons—a common
measure—l venture to bid you a short "farewell. If
I wanted to sacrifice fact for the sake of a happy
illusion, I should say 1 was about to repose in my
chimney corner, but as this happens to be the
month of August, when people think more of cool
sea breezes than of warm firesides, I am perfectly
certain you would not believe me. Our old-fashioned
farmers are in the habit of hanging gammon of
bacon in their chimneys, but here is a case in which
even gammon and chimneys must be utterly discon-
nected, especially as I wish sincerely to refer to a
very serious subject. That constant intercourse that
has been long maintained between us, delightful
to me, and I trust, not unpleasant to you, has this
year been interrupted by my sudden and severe
illness. However, this affliction has proved to me a
source of high gratification, for it has served to show
that'my friends are more numerous than I had dared
to hope. The many public inquiries that were made
respecting my health during a period of pain and
prostration have left so deep an impression on my
mind, that I feel more strongly than ever the tie,
that of obligation, that binds me to my generous
patrons. Both my partner and myself must plead
guilty to the charge of introducing a Little Rebel'
into our generally orderly establishment, but as yon
seem to have been gratified by the innovation, I
need offer no apologies on that subject. There is
one matter, however, of which I am entirely guilt-
less. Taking advantage of my illness, my partner,
who prides himself on being. a moral maa, entered
into an engagement—the sly rogue—with A Charm-
ing Woman.' Aye, and he is quite ready to bear
all the responsibility of his indiscretion ; for, it
seems, youcomplimenthim on his taste, and acknow-
ledge that the lady in question is a very dimming
woman, indeed ; and—whisper, let me tell you—but
this is between ourselves—she is so much flattered
by your good opinion, that she means to remain
with us during the whole of next season. On the
23d of September we shall, I trust, meet again, and
my partner and myself will be found true to our
old principle of establishing our theatre as a place
where smiles are frequent and hearty, tears few
and gentle, and blushes altogether unknown. Till
then, grateful for the past, hopeful for the future,
we both bid you farewell."

PRIESTS AND BRIGANDS IN NA PLES

The following details respecting the priests and
brigands in Naples aro furnished by a letter in the
Nord of the 17th of August:—
" The authorities have just made a razzia of priests and
monks. From Castellamare to Sorrento, 28 were arrested
yesterday. In the evening, they were taken to the pre-
fecture of police. A similar course, it is said, will be pur-
sued towards all the monks and ecclesiastics who, since
the departure of his Eminence Cardinal Riario, carry on a
systematic opposition against the Government. Sermons,
marked by the greatest violence against King Victor
Emmanuel and Liberal Institutions, have been preached
on Sunday in several churches. The clergy have been
warned officially that they must restrict themselves
to their mission of peace, love, and charity, other-
wise the authorities will act against them with vigour. They
have not paid the slightest attention to the warning, and
their language is more and mora passionate and furious.
"Last night the official journal published one of those
sombre bulletins which recal the laconism of the Republic
of Venice. It is as follows

.... . _____.
... Tragnoto-Monforte, Aug. 14, 7 p m.
'' ' Yesterday morning at dawn justice was executed on
Pontelandolfo and Casalduni.'"

The following details have been furnished me by an
ocular witness :

" ' A detachment of 40 men of the .4th Regiment of the
line came a few days ago to these two villages, which had
become the refuge of brigands and of mutinous soldiers of
the provinces of Nolise and Benevento. There were also
certain number of reactionaries who had escaped from the
battle of Montefalcione.

" At a given signal, after having been received with re-
peated cries of " Long live Italy I" the soldiers were
attacked by the brigands and peasants, who massacred
them to a man with the exception of a sergeant.
"`To take vengeance on this ambuscade, two battalions
of sharpshooters surrounded on Wednesday the two villages
of Pontelandolfo and Casalduni. A flag of truce was sent
by daybreak to insist on the guilty being given up. The
flag of truce was received with a volley of musketry. To
exhit their defiance and contempt, the brigands threw
down from the roofs of the houses which they had barri-
caded the heads and limbs of the wretched soldiers who
had perished by their hands. It was then that the two
battalions of sharpshooters, excited by fury and despair,
advanced, took by storm the two villages, and killed all
their defenders. They spared the lives of the old men'
the women, and the children. They then set fire to the two
villages, the greater part of which in a few hours was a
prey to the flames.' "

Some of the most trustworthy advices from India
by the last mail state that, although the price of opium had
again fallen, the quotation being 1,390 r., and there was a
prospect of a still further decline during the present month,
it was strongly doubted if the revenue for the year would
oxhibit any material reduction from Mr. Laing's estimate.
