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.
HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The extra farewell per.
formances 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
programme offered, at -unpreeedently 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-
formed for the first time since last year. We need
scarcely add that Madame Alboni was enthusiastically
applauded in all her efforis, or that her incomparable
rendering of the universally popular "Non piu mesta"
elicited the customary encore. The house was crowded
in every part.
FIRE AT LAMBETH WORRHOUSE.—Last night, anout
8 o'clock, a are, 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 strenuous exertions of the firemen, the fire,
which was fortunately confined to that part of the
workhouse in which it originated, was subdued.

Weekly Record.
THE WATER OF THE SERFENTINE.—A. very interesting
report, Micoscopical 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 resorted to. Dr.
Hassell suggests that steps should be taken similar in
principle to those which have already been carried into
effect, for the purification of the water of the lake in St.
James's Park. He considers that the Serpentine should
be empted, and all the black 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 4i 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
saved.
THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.—The Australian Mail
packet Simla was despatched from Sydney 17 days be
fore her time, with the homeward overland mail, in con-
sequence of the breaking down of the Oneida. She
ought to have made the passage to Suez in 42 days ;
instead of that she took 48 days. She has therefore not
made such a good voyage as she did on her first hnme-
ward trip, when she arrived at Suez within the stipulated
of her mails may be ex-

25th inst. ; consequently the heavy portion of the
Australian mail will not reach England before the 7th
or Bth of next mouth. The European, which took out
the April overland Australian mail, had arrived at King
George's Sound, on her way to Sydney, within the con-
tract time ; and the Columbian, which took out the May
overland Australian mail, left Point de Galle for Melbourne
one day after her time. The Simla left Ceylon about a
week before the homeward Indite mail packet was due
there.
The French CivilTributiar was. on Wednesday called on
to decide a new dispute between Mr. and Mrs. Hope. In
consequence of their separation, Mr. Hope, some Uwe
newspapers and issued circulars,
declaring responsible for any debts

but, notwithstanding,
tradesmen continued to give the lady credit;and as she
did not pay, they onTuesday brought an action against
her and her husband for the money. Mr. Hope con-
tended that, having warned all tradesmen not to give
credit, he was not responsiide. Mrs. Hope contended
that, as their separation had taken place by an agree-
ment Hope, and as every husband
was
obliged according to his means,

the various claims, which amounted to about 300,000 fr.
