ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

Madame Penco, the celebrated prima donna of the Paris
Italian Opera, made her first appearance last evening as
Violetta in Verdi's "La Traviata,." Unlike many of the
debutantes who have courted criticism of late, Madame
Penco needs neither present indulgence nor hopeful predic-
tions, for she is already mature as an artiste whilst in the
very zenith of her.physical powers. Madame Penco's voice
is evenly beautiful in tone. Without any particularly
striking notes, it is of one quality throughout, and always
charming; her "shake" is perfection. Madame Penco's
Violetta is one of the very best we have seen, and her suc-
cess with the public was immense. She was applauded
most enthusiastically throughout the opera, and called at
the terminationof each act. In other respects, with Gardoni
as Alfredo and Debassini as Germont, "La Traviata" was
most admirably performed, and may be reckoned amongst
the great successes of the season.
The entertainment concluded with the pretty ballet diver-
tissement called " Eva," in which Madlle. Zina made her
first appearance this season, and displayed her talent to the
best advantage.

Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness the
Prince Consort honoured the performances with their

presence.

Her Majesty the Queen held a Court yesterday

PRICE OF GOLD.—MQ quotation of gold at Paris
is about at par, and the short exchangeon London is 25.07}
per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng-
lish Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold,
it appears that gold is nearly 4-10ths per cent. dearer in
Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the
price of gold is 420 per mark, and the short exchange on
London is 13.0/ per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the
English Mint price is therefore about 8 10ths per cent.
dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex-
change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight
is about 110 1 per cent., which, when compared with the
Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex-
change is in favour of England ;: and, Wafter making
allowance for charges of transport and difference of inte-
rest, the present rate leaves a profit on the importation of
gold from the United States.

ROASTED ALTvE.—A very appalling accident
occurred on Saturday at the Llwycoed limekilns, near
Aberdare. A young man• named William Thomas was
engaged in superintending the process of burning lime, and
having "fed the kiln," as it is called, by piling upon it a
large heap of stones, &c., got on to the top of the heap for
the purpose of levelling the stones. It unfortunately hap •
pened that the mass beneath was highly calcined, and, the
substratum giving way, the heap of stones slowly descended,
and the unhappy man was carried with them into the
burning abyss. The poor wretch struggled in the hope of
extricating himself, and gave utterance to the most heart •
rending shrieks, but, although many rushed to the spot, and
made what efforts they could to rescue him, all was in vain.
He was seen to descend lower and lower into the fire,
writhing as he did so in the most intense agony, until he at
length disappeared. The workmen at once set to work to
draw the kiln, for the purpose of recovering the body, and
at length it was drawn out, a charred and blackened mass•
At the inquest held on the body it was stated that, although
the practice of kindling the coal was very dangerous, and
had often led to a sacrifice of life, it was constantly resoled
to, The jury returned a Verdict of "Accidental death.'

TURIN, MAY 16.
The Emperor remains still at Alessandria, busied
with his generals in laying strategical plans.

HAMBURG, MAY 17.
The rate of discount, which was 4 to 41 per cent
was to-day lowered to 3 to 4 per cent.

The Nord publishes the following telegram :
" The Russian Government has given orders for
the Ist, 2d, 3d, sth, and 6th corps d'armee to be
placed immediately on a war footing, with the whole
of the artillery and cavalry belonging to each.
" The reserves are to be called in, and all soldiers
on furlough to rejoin their colours, to be ready to
march within three months.

A correspondent of the Siecle writes as follows
from Turin, under date of May 14 :—" Giulay's
army, forced to retreat, is falling back on three
different points, Novara, Pavia, and Piacenza ; on
this last town by Stradella. Already a part of the
siege artillery, a regiment of infantry, and a
detachment of chasseurs have been signalled. In
effecting this retreat, some repasse&the Gravellona,
in the direction of Casale-Pusterlengo, between Lodi
and Piacenza ; others went through Broni, and
after crossing the bridge of La Stella, turned
towards Stradella. As to the bulk of the army,
it is still in Piedmont, but they are concentrating
it on the line of operations so as, in case of a
check, to be able to form a junction with
the troops in Lombardy. The ground along
part of the Gravellona, and at Codalunza, Por-
tighetto, and Batella, is bristling with fortifica-
tions, and whilst on other points they are making
bridges, throwing up batteries, and re-establishing
communications, Giulay is reinforcing his troops on
the road to Piacenza. As to the troops recently
collected, they are concentrated between Mortara,
Palestra, and Robbio. Of course, the bridges which
had been thrown over the Sesia, near Palestra, have
been re moved. The 86 guns which were at Vercelli
have been placed in concentric batteries on an emi•
nence commanding Novara, on which stands the
village of Biocca, the scene of the principal incident
of the memorable battle of 1849. This position
between Novara and Magenta will serve Giulay as
a point d appui for the right wing of his army in case
of retreat. The extraordinary works in progress there
seem to justify that conclusion. Between Gagliate
and the Ticino thousands of peasants are compelled to
work in digging deep ditches and throwing up
epaulments. Preparations are also being made in
case of defeat to throw four bridges over the river
on this point, behind the epaulment, to facilitate
the retreat. This is perfectly in accord with the
last despatches, which state that the Austrian
troops are concentrating between Novara and Pia-
cenza, and fortifying their positions between the
Gravellona and the Po. In this case, if such be
the tactics of Giulay, the left wing will rest on the
Po, as the right does on Novara. The Austrians
have established a telegraph hire, about six feet
from the ground, between Novara and Milan. To
afford greater facilities for the entrance of the sol-
diers, two bridges have also been made near Vige•
vana and Motta Visconti. On the bridge of La
Stella more important defences have been pre-
pared in the shape of six small forts, which will
be guarded by outposts placed at San Cipriano and
Giezolo. Nothing positive is known as to the
motive of this change in the movement of the Aus-
trian troops. I can affirm as certainihowever, that
the Austrians came to Vercelli with the determi-
nation to march on Turin, immediately after in-
stalling their head-quarters there. With that view
they came in great force, preceded or followed, I
cannot say which, by 86 pieces of cannon. As it
was night, they placed their guns in the meadows
near Vercelli. The next morning the alert was
given, and all the men were soon under arms. The
cause of alert was that the waters were gradually
covering the plain and the roads, and with them the
pieces of cannon. In vain did they rage and storm,
there was no alternative but to immediately remove
the guns and place them elsewhere ; but the soldiers
were soon tired out, and the horses knocked up.
They then made a requisition of hundreds of hands
to help them. God knows what means they
employed to make the poor peasants work ! At
last, about nightfall, the task was completed, and
the guile wpre rwmnvPd fn behind Vercelli. They
had not been there an hour when the meadows
were covered with water, which soon attained a
depth of three feet. The same operation had to be
again performed under greater difficulties than
before, and the next day the enemy proceeded with
all haste towards Ivrea."

A communication from Alessandria states that it
has been resolved, in order to secure unity in the
strategical movements, to unite the troops of the
two allied nations, each corps d'armee, under the
command of a Marshal of France, to be composed
of three French divisions and one Sardinian. It
was thought at head-quarters that the French and
Piedmontese would immediately leave Alessandria,
and advance by the right bank of the Po towards
the Milanese frontier.

The Piedmontese Gazette publishes the 31st and
32d official bulletins. The former has been already
anticipated by telegraph ; the other is as follows
No. 32, May 15th, morning.—The following
are particulars of the doings at Bobbio. On the
13th, at half-past one, a.m., 200 Austrians entered
Bobbio. Having arrived in the square, they sepa-
rated into patrols.. One of these, about half-way
towards Porta Nueva, met a detachment of National
Guards commanded by Sub-Lieut. Luigi Losio.
The latter cried Who goes there ?' The enemy
replied by a volley, from which Losia received a
wound in the foot. The National Guards fired
and wounded an officer and a private; where-
upon the enemy retreated in such haste that
at five they re-entered Mezzana Scotto, whence
they had come, and at eight crossed the Trebbia
at. Ambricco, retreating towards Rivergaro, and
forcibly carrying off with them one Mnzzi, a tailor.
On learning that the Austrians were at Bobbin,
armed men had set out from Varzi and other
bouring communes to join the National Guardneigh-
bouring of
the former placd. Yesterday, 13th, there was a
great moving of Austrian troops near the Stella
bridge, on the lett bank of the P
the enemy exacts contributions to an At Stradella
insupportable
amount ; they have ordered the municipality to
despatch a mail to PI •
via; to buy the things that

are not to be had in the place. A general and
some officers have in vain attempted to excite the
poor against the rich."
The Syndic of Genoa has published the following
proclamation, dated the 14th

" Fellow-Citizens !—The cordiality and enthu-
siasm with which the whole population has re-
ceived, saluted, and cheered the Emperor of the
French, in the port, in the docks, under the win-
dows of the Royal Palace, in the street, and at
the theatre Carlo Felice, gave such pleasure to
H.I.M. that, visibly touched with these warm-
hearted and'universal testimonials of respect, sym
pathy, gratitude, joy, and hope, his Majesty not
only expressed, in gracious and flattering words,
to the authorities that stood around him, his high
satisfaction, but desired that his sentiments on the
occasion might be officially made known to the
public. Fellow-citizens ! The Emperor of the
French leaves us with the most gratifying impres-
sion of the reception given to himself and his
army by. the Genoese population, which expresses
the sentiments of all Italy. I therefore thank you
for having, with an admirable alacrity which will
be recorded in history, seconded the efforts of the
municipality for celebrating this great event in a
manner not quite unworthy of the august guest
who was expected, of the city which received him,
and of the noble intentions and high motives which
ocOasioned his visit.

" The Syndic, MORRO."

A note is said to have been sent by Piedmont, in
reply to the circular by which the Neapolitan
Government proclaims its neutrality. In it, the
Cabinet of Turin seeks to establish that Naples can
no longer enjoy the benefit of neutrality, as that
power has given its implicit adhesion to the policy
of Austria.

The Milan Gazette publishes two bulletins, one
dated Vercelli, 9th, and the other Mortara, 11th.
They are curiosities in their way, as may be seen
from the following extracts :
" Although the Austrian army is ready to attack
the enemy on all sides, the latter has not had the
courage to accept the challenge. . . . The
Piedmontese have plundered the poor inhabitants
of Stroppiano. . . . The Piedmontese have
not thought proper to defend Vercelli, an im-
portant town on account of its excellent military
position. The inhabitants have hastened to pro-
vision our troops without a murmur on their part,
and without a menace on the part of our soldiers.
• • • Let us state the following remarkable
fact :—An Austrian army enters Piedmont, and
the people gives it a favourable reception ; the
Cavour Government calls the armies of France to
its aid, and the country, instead of yielding to the
pressure of force, receives us like friends and bro-
thers. . . Captain Blackey, an English calonel
(sic), has arrived at our head quarters at Mortara ;
he wants to share the fate of the Italian campaign
with the Austrian army."

A letter from Bucharest of the 10th instant
says—" The Wallachian Government has pub-
lished a notification to the effect that the Aus-
trian consul having broken off relations with the
Wallachian authorities, and not having placed his
subjects under the protection of any friendly
power, those subjects will be treated as Wal-
lachians, and will in judicial matters be tried
according to the laws of the country. This resolu-
tion will not please the numerous Austrians esta-
blished in Wallachia, for the Wallachian authorities
are all•disposed towards them. The Austrian
consul has requested his Government to give him
instructions how to act."

THE AUSTRIAN ARMY IN
PIEDMONT.
(From the Second Edition of the Times)
AUSTRIAN HEAD-QUARTERS,
MORTARA, MAY 12.
I hope my letter of the day before yesterday
reached London in safety, because, though written
hurriedly to catch the post, it contained information
calculated to undeceive you on one or two points on
which the Piedmontese press has been mistaken.
The affair of Frassinetto, for instance, was simply
a feint to draw the attention of the allies from
the real passage of the river at Corsale. This the
allies must know, for the planks supplied by Candia,
and nailed together with so much noise on the
island, were left there, and could tell their own
story. Had the Austrians really wished to pass
the river they would have used the pontoon bridge,
which they had in the neighbourhood, by which
they afterwards crossed the Sesia between Pez-
zana and Rivoletta, and which was yet standing
the day before yesterday. I am not quite sure
whether it is there now or not. I rather think not,
and that the bridge at Vercelli is the only one now
existing over the Sesia. At Vercelli there is an
Austrian corps d'armee. When I was there, on
Tuesday, it was busy throwing up earthworks to
form an intrenched camp, for which the position is
admirably suited. This will command the road
from Turin to Novara and' Milan, and will also
check any attempt on the part of the allied army,
now near Casale, to turn the Austrian right flank.
I see a Turin paper asserts that Novara was
threatened with a general massacre by the Austrians
in default of certain contributions. I can assure
you that the orders to treat the inhabitants well
are peremptory, and that they are obeyed willingly.
Indeed the conduct of the natives is such as to
secure good treatment even from a less good-natured
fellow than the Austrian soldier certainly is.
Most probably- the bearing of the soldiery towards
the population induces the reciprocal good feeling.
How do the Zouaves and the Piedmontese peasantry
get on ?
As an example of the high state of discipline in
the Austrian ar:ny, I may mention that General
Benedek had two men shot for stealing property
worth only a few francs, From other sources you
may hear different accounts, as 20 or 30 imitations
of Austrian uniforms were captured at Novara.
They had been made by certain parties for the pur-
pose of committing robberies and atrocities, and of
throwing the odium on the Austrians. The same
may have been done elsewhere. You must receive
with caution every statement coming from a Pied-
montese source. One story, written from Turin to
Le Nord, and copied into other papers, has excited
much merriment here. A Marquis Colli is there
represented as having, with a couple of squadrons
of light cavalry, greatly distinguished himself in a
fight near Gropello. In imitation of the knights of
old, he is said to have singled out the commander
of the Austrian detachment, and to have slain him
in single combat.
Here nothing is known of any incident at all
resembling this, nor has any cavalry officer been
killed as yet.
Some newspapers express astonishment that the
Austrians did not push on to -Turin, but -surely
to have done so would have been extremely
dangerous with such a large army on their flank
as the allies had between Alessandria and Casale,
even by the 3d of this month. I mentioned
in my last letter that it took three days for
the Austrian army to cross the Ticino. This will
give you some idea of the time required to move
180,000 men. To have crossed by several bridges
would have been useless, because, when in Pied-
mont, they can only advancebyt
forher infantry
ntTryhe;
fields are utterly impassable, except
and even that could not move across country except
by short and slow marches. Every field is bounded
by a ditch full of water, with a hedge of trees about
two feet apart on each side of it ; and fully one-
fourth of the country is under water entTho
irely:
consequence is, that a corps d'armee of 30,000 men,
part cavalry, and part artillery, with the necessary
train of waggons, occupies 10 or 12 miles of road.
It is evident that to protect the advance of such
a column strong positions must be secured in
front of it. Thus the lixe of the Terdoppoi, the
Agogna, and the Sesia had to be seized succes-
sively, and, as the heavy rains and the melting
of the snow on the hills had converted each of these
streams into a considerable river, it was impossible
to conceive that they would not be defended.
Besides, haste was unnecessary. The five days' start
England secured for France rendered it impossible
for the Austrians to reach Tulin in time, so their
advance, so far as it extended, was simply a
reconnaissance in force. The battle 'field will most
) o r, at
m so all

probably be near this place (Mort ar a
events, between the Sesia, and the 'Ticino
where. The allies will scarcely dare to attempt
to pass between Pavia and Piacenza, nor can
they well move north between the Dora Baltea
aid the Sesia, while the Austrians possess
tie bridge at Vercelli. The spirits of the Austrian
army are excellent. The condition of nearly all

their horses is also good. The latter are excessively
hardy, particularly those bred in Hungary. I wish
we had in England some really light cavalry like
the Hungarian Hussars. The Austrian train is
notoriously good; that of this army is immense.
The Piedmontese large two-wheeled waggons will,
however, have an advantage in moving on good
level roads, because they require fewer horses.
Apropos of roads I must say that, except in Lem:.
hardy, I have never seen better roads than here,
but they are narrow.
I mentioned in my last letter that the people of
Piedmont were not in favour of this war. So far
from it are they, that nothing would be easier than
to raise the population of this part of the country
against the Government. Count Cavour is detested.
As for the King, they say " egli non e re," they
consider him a mere puppet of Cavour's. The
entire power, they say, is in the hands of agitators,
principally from Milan. At the first elections the*
well-to-do, quiet people, contented to leave well
alone, did not vote at all. The consequence was
that the violent few carried the day, and the
first Parliament did the mischief by its talk-
ing. This is the opinion I have heard expressed
by such men as heads of large villages. In the
towns it is different ; there the phraseology of the
conquest of the Lombardy party has been intro-
duced, and is used by many who never did, nor
ever will, form an opinion of their own, and Who
understand little of the opinions of others.
Some letters have been captured on the road from
Cigliano to San Germano written by recruits from
the latter place, now near Alessandria, to their
friends. They express the greatest dislike to the
war. One man congratulates himself on being in
the third line, and hopes the first two will have the
fighting to do. Now, there is another point on
which I wish to undeceive the British public.
The Lombard regiments in the Austrian service
are generally represented as untrustworthy.
came out with this idea, and fancied, as others
in England' do, that all the Italian regiments
were in Hungary or Galicia, and that all the
nation would be distrusted. I find, on the con-
trary, that nine out of ;ten posts of especial
confidence are filled by Italians. Clerks, orderlies,
gendarmerie, pass examiners, police officers, both
inferior and superior, all, or nearly all, are Italian.
Besides these, there are fully 20,000 Italian troops
now with this army in Piedmont, and not one of
them is suspected of preferring the Government of
France or Piedmont to that of Austria. The fact
seems to be, that the hatred of Austria is confided
to the class which pays substitutes and does net
enter the army itself. On this point lam loth,
however, to express a decided opinion as
yet,
because, although I on different occasions have
passed a good deal of time in Italy, yet I did not
enter more than superficially into this incluitY
on those occasions. You must not expect to hear
of a battle just yet. The Austrians surely vrw
not now cross the Po to attack the allies on their own
chosen position, and these will probably wait till
vast stores of provisions and means of transport are
collected at Alessandria. The mere landing of these
at Genoa will occupy some time. We must re:
member that a continual stream of troops aud
material has been passing day and night fe'
three months along the Lombardo-Venetian line!'
No change of importance has taken place in the die'
position of the Austrian troops. We hear that the
allies occupied Tortona a few days ago, but the mass
of their army is in position near San Salvadore,
tween Casale and Alessandria. Even when the
hostile armies do meet, I cannot agree with
those

The nature of the country is unsuited for Snell a
battle, being highly advantageous to that par!'"
which acts on the defensive, because rendering till'
approach of overwhelming numbers of the enemy
on any one point exceedingly difficult.
I must conclude this letter, but cannot do 0°
without first acknowledging the extremely hos-
pitable reception I have met with here. Nothing
can exceed the kindness shown me by all I meet'from the Commander-in-Chief downwards.
You
must not flatter yourself that this is in the slightest
degree due to my being your correspondent. Thai
would act in the same hospitable manner to any
stranger bringing a few letters of introduction.

FRANCE.
PARIS, TUESDAY.
The Empress-Regent yesterday received a letter
from her Britannic Majesty, in answer to the lettere
of recall of the Duke de Malakoff; also, the reply
of the Duke de Nassau to the notification of tile
marriage of Prince Napoleon.
Nothing of moment is known from the theatre
of war; no movement of importance appeal
to have taken place. To all appearance, the French
as well as the Austrians show at present little
disposition to attack. The French have not yet got
up all their artillery and cavalry. The Austrian.:
remain strongly fortified in their positions, an
cover a large space of ground. Something yr°
