FIRE -AT CUCKFIELD, SUSSEX.—On Sunday,
about two o'clock, p.m., this quiet little town was thrown
into a state of great excitement by the announcement that
the mansion ofWarden Sergison, Esq., was on fire. Hun-
dreds of persons flocked to the scene of conflagration, and
rich and poor vied with each other in their efforts to save
the valuable paintings and furniture, as well as the build-
ing, from total destruction. By dint of great exertions the
fire was confined to the south-west portion of the spacious
building. A small distattce from the house was an orna-
mental sheet of water, and by means of buckets of all kinds
t a e
pf_issed from hand to hand, by a continuous line of hundreds
of persons, a constant deluge of water was poured upon the
flames, which, in the course of three or four hours, so far

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

Last evening Signor Mario made his first appearance this
season as The Duke in Verdi's opera of "Rig,oletto," and
met with the enthusiastic reception which his extraordinary
merits and long-established fame could scarcely fail to com-
mand. Never did Signor Mario appear to greater advan-
tage as the gay and heedless Duke of Mantua. Never was
his dramatic embodiment of the character more brilliant,
his execution of the music—from the first scene to the last
—more expressive and irreproachable. •The part of Rigo-
letto's daughter seems to accommodate itself to the voice
and talents of Madame Lotti better than any other she has
hitherto attempted on the London boards. The warm ap-
plause that greeted her, not merely in the duet just named,
but in that with Rigoletto, where the unhappy girl reveals
to her father the history of her love, and in all the salient
points of the opera, was the more flattering, inasmuch as,
immediately succeeding Madame Bosio -in that much re-
gretted lady's very best character, the task of Madame
Lotti became one in which there was as much peril to be
risked as honour to be gained. As a display of histrionic
genius the Rigoletto of Signor Ronconi was as incom-
parably fine as on any former occasion.
The house was crowded with a distinguished and fashion-
; able audience.

EVERY EVENING during the week will appear
THE DELEPIERRE FAMILY,

Consisting of three Juvenile Violinists, viz., Jules, Juliette,
and Julia Delepierre, aged, respectively, FOUR, SIX, and
EIGHT years.
The perfect execution by these Lilliputian Artistes of some
of the most difficult and brilliant Solos, Duets, and Trios ever
written for the violin, has excited mingled wonder and admi-
ration in Continental Musical Circles, and drawn forth enthu-
siastic tributes of praise from the Public Journals of France
and Belgium.

They will perform EVERY EVENING, at NINE and
ELEVEN o'clock, in addition to the usual Entertainments.

FRANCE.

PARIS, TUESDAY.
A Council of Ministers was held yesterday after-
noon at the Tuileries, the Emperor presiding.
The precise date of the Emperor's departure is
not mentioned. Some say he will leave on Thurs-
day, others not till the 10th or 12th. He will visit
Lyons, and from Lyons proceed to Toulon, and em-
bark there for Genoa. The imperial yacht Aigle
has left Cherbourg for Toulon, where she will re-
ceive the Emperor. Brigadier Trochu will be
appointed General of Division in place of General
Bouat, who died of apoplexy at Suza.

Today Count Walewski solemnly declared in the
Chambers that France was at war with Austria. His
Excellency traced the events which had found
France obliged to defend Piedmont with great
precision and clearness. The deputies received the
announcement as Frenchmen always accept the
news of war when the honour and patriotism of this
gallant nation is addressed, accompanied with
shouts of " Vive l'Empereur !" " Vive la France !"
The French nation in a few hours will be thoroughly
roused, and the enthusiasm will be universal.
Advices from Vienna, in the Nord and Indepen-
dance of Brussels, announce that the Marquis de
Banneville, the French Charge d'Affaires, left that
city on Saturday.

boußsE, May 3.—The market has been heavy,
speculators anxiously waiting for the communica-
tion which will be read to-day to the Chambers.
Threes, after having been done at 60f. 80c., declined

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

- -
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medicalreader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they

various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

ELECTRICAL INFLUENCE IN HEALTH AND
DISEASE.

Just Published, price is., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps,
,„'.IECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS
1.../ FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special
perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress-
ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical
Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO-
GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus-
ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated
from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com-
piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi-
tioner of twenty years' standing.
Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which
commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with
the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious
indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and
Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter
fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre-
gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili-
tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a
condition little short of total prostration, then by the action
of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical
treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta-
blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of
SECOND LIFE.

The trial of Sickles was still proceeding. It is
currently reported that the jury made up their
minds a week ago. The case was expected to close
the following day.
The British steam frigate Curacoa left Annapolis
on Tuesday, the 19th, having on board Lord and,
Lady Napier and suite. Lady Napier was conveyed
to the ship, which was lying about four miles out
in the stream, in a yacht from the United States'
Navy Academy, escorted by Captain Blake, the
superintendent, and Captain Craven, the cowman'
dant of the Academy, together with other naval
officers, and a party of ladies.
The inclemency of the weather, combined with
the absence of the Arabia's letters, and with the
fact that the day was kept as a holiday by sane
merchants, tended to check transactions in cotton,
which were confined to small lots, that afforded no
criterion of the state of the market.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 29th ult. publish a
despatch from Lugo, in Corunna, which states that
new disturbances broke out on the preceding day
in that town, but that they were suppressed by
military force. The province had been declared in
a state of siege, and the military governor of
Corunna had gone to the town at the head of de-
tachments of cavalry and infantry. The semi-
official Cori•espondancia Autografa asserts that
there is no truth in the statement made by a jour-
nal on the preceding day that the Spanish ambas •
sador at Rome had advised that 10,000 men should
be sent to the Balearic Islands, because it is likely
the Pope would go there. The _Espana states that
a report was current in political circles that the
French Government had solicited the Spanish
Cabinet to give it the assistance of woo- men, but
that it was not known for what purpose. The
Espana asserts that the report was very im-
probable.

The following note has been addressed to the
Vienna journals by the Danish Legation :-
44 You have copied in your number of to-day the news

be paid for. We may not be compelled to enter

the market as borowers, or in any way to increase

the national liabilities ; but there is a fearful in-
strument to scourge the middle classes always
available. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has
exhibited a laudable desire to meet the engage-
ments entered into by another financial Minister ;

but it may not be in his power to do so under
existing circumstances, and we may find the
Income-tax again placed on a war footing, and
six or seven per cent, levied on our. earnings, and
that without any fault on the part of the Govern-
ment or people of the United Kingdom.
We trust, however, that if any such painful exi-
gency should arise, there will be a fair and rea-
sonable discriminating allowance made for the dif-
ference between permanent and precarious incomes.

To a." Property " tax we have never objected; on
the contrary, we believe it to be the best fiscal mea-
sure that could be devised. Men who have in-
herited or realised fortunes should contribute a just
proportion thereof for its protection and security.
But it is very different with respect to those who
earn their daily bread by their daily labour. They
have probably " given hostages to fortune," in the
shape of wives and children, and are bound, if pos-
sible, to put something by for a rainy day, when
illness or change of fashion may prevent them from
receiving.as much for their exertions as in their
palniy season of prosperity... Besides, they must
try to save something for their families. How
different, then, are they from those who have no such
cares or troubles P—the happy individuals who
knoW that, although they may be. • stretched on a
sick couch, they still have enough
_for- every com-
fort for themseves, and that, even should they
" shuffle off their mortal coil," their mourning rela-
tives would be equally independent..
Mr. DISRAELI is the only financial Minister who
has proposed, or even exhibited, the slightest dis-
position to recognise the distinction between the dif-
ferent classes of recipients; and he therefore should
receive the support of the indUstriaT middle classes
who are especially affected by the impost. A re-
mission of one-half, or even one-quarter of the
amount, will be far more satisfactory than prosy
epistles such as those addressed to Mr. PHELPS of
Birmingham. No eloquence is equal to that of the
pocket—nothing so convincing to the mind as see.-
ing those nearest and dearest deprived of the
ordinary comforts, in many instances amounting to
luxuries, to which they have long been accustomed.
It is matters of that kind that render them dis-
affected and disloyal, and prepared to engage in
any disturbances or tumults that may arise.
Neither Sir CHARLES WOOD nor Sir G. C. LEWIS
would do anything to relieve them, and therefore
it is only to Mr. DISRAELI they can look for relief
under existing circumstances.

FIRE AT CUCKFIELD, SUSSEX.—On Sunday,
about two o'clock, p.m., this quiet little town was thrown
into a state of great excitement by the announcement that
the mansion ofWarden Sergison, Esq., was on fire. Hnn-
dreds of persons flocked to the scene of conflagration, and
rich and poor vied with each other in their efforts to• save
the valtiable paintings and furniture, as well as the build-
ing, from total destruction. By dint of great exertions the
fire was confined:to the south-west portion of the spacious
building. A small distance from the house was an orna-
mental-sheet of water, and by means of buckets of all kinds
passed from hand to hand, by a continuous line of hundreds
of persons, a constant deluge of water was poured upon the
flames, which, in the course of three or four hours, so far
succumbed to the efforts made as to dispel all fears as to the
further extension of the fire. Although telegraphic mes-
sages were sent for fire-engines, none arrived to render as-
sistance. The destruction of property by fire, water, - and
removal must be very great. The owner, it is said, Was
insured, but not adequately.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CURIOUS CHARGE OP STEALING A RlNG.—Mary Con-
nell, a fruit vendor, was charged with stealing a gold ring,
as follows :

Mr. Wm. Coggs, of 20, Stacey-street, New Compton-
street, said that about five o'clock the previous afternoon,
he was coming out of a public house in Upper Rathbone •
place, when a ring which he had on his finger, and which
was rather loose, fell off, and rolled between two paving
stones. While trying to get it up a crowd collected round
him, and the stone was raised, when he saw the prisoner
stoop and pick up something and put it into her mouth.
Believing it to be his ring he seized her throat and held her
till a constable came up. He dilstinctly saw her put it in
her mouth. He believed it to be gold,—at all events he
bought it as gold, and it was worth quite LI.
In answer to Mr. Bingham, the prisoner denied picking
up the ring. It was a sixpence.
Mr. Bingham asked how it was that she put it in her
mouth, then ?
Prisoner said she kept her money always in her mouth—
she wore no pockets.
I)odsworth, a constable, said she told him a man picked
up the ring.
A little boy named Wheeler said he saw the prisoner pick
up something, but did not know what.

SEIZURE OF AUSTRIAN
VESSELS BY SARDINIA.

A postscript to a private letter, dated Genoa,
April 30, addressed to Messrs. Clarkson and Co.,
of 106, Fenchurch•street, states that all the
Austrian vessels at Genoa had been just segues-
trated by the Sardinians.
In reply to a letter from the Committee for ma-
naging the affairs of Lloyd's, Messrs. Clarkson and
-Co:, of Doctors' Commons, state that they have been
consulted on behalf of the owners of Austrian and
Sardinian ships now in British ports, and they have
advised that they remain where they are, particu-
larly the Austrians, as they
.will most assuredly be
raptured after they go to sea ; neither can they
be safely sold after declaration of war. England
recognises such sales, but France does not.
