_
Cardinal Patrizi, Vicar-General of Rome, has
published a notification, dated the 2d, in which, after
reciting that his Holiness had, on the 10th of May,
1849, consented to the mortgage of certain ecclesi-
astical property, to the amount of 1,700,000 scudi
(8,500,000 f.), in order to meet the extraordinary fi-
nancial difficulties of the moment, but that the pay-
ment of so large a sum by the clergy in the space of
six months having been found impracticable, his
Holiness had afterwards accepted the offer of the
clergy to pay the sum of 4,000,000 of scudi
(20,000,000 francs) by instalments in the course of
15 years on the condition of being freed from the
obligation of extinguishing the Treasury bonds.
The Cardinal further states that the untoward events
that ensued not only rendered it impossible to put
this plan into execution, but even subjected pious
establishment to further extraordinary forced con-
tributions, and that consequently the Holy Father
has deemed it meet to reduce the contribution of the
clergy to 100,000 scudi (500,000 f.) a year, to be le-
vied not only on the property of the regular clergy,
but upon all religious and pious foundations, benefices,
commandership', nunneries, hospitals, monts de pike,
orphan asylums, &c. All such corporations, none ex-
cepted, are in consequence summoned to send in within
20 days an exact detailed account of all their liabili-
ties and assets, in order to enable the Government
fairly to distribute the charge each establishment will
have to bear.
The Opinione of Turin' of the Bth quotes a circu'ar
letter, addressed by the Bishop of Novara to the
clergy of his diocese, warning them not to contribute
to the subscription now in progress for a monument
to be raised in commemoration of the passing of the
Siccardi law, by which ecclesiastical privileges have
been abolished.

LONDON, SATURDAY,-JULY 13, 1850.

In the Houle of Lords last night the County
Courts Extension Bill was, on the motion of Lord
BaouGsam, referred to a Select Committee. Under
ordinary circumstances, we should have considered
such a course fatal to the measure during the present
session—that it was, in fact, intended to get rid of a
Bill respecting which intense interest is felt by the
industrious classes throughout the entire country,
without incurring the obloquy of a direct rejection of
its salutary provisions; but from what fell from the
Noble and Learned Lord, who has rendered more
valuable assistance to the cause of legal reform, than
any man of the age, we are satisfied that there is
no real danger to the Bill, and that the object of the
proposed ingairy is rally and truly what it pro• 1

NEW STRAND.

The moral set forth in Mr. Godwin's romance of
St. Leon, of the unhappiness consequent on the dis.,
covery of the great alchymical secret, has been worked
out with less tragical results by Mr. Tom Taylor, in
his burlesque of the Philosopher's Stone, produced
last night with distinguished success. Paracelsus
(Mr. Leigh Murray), who is chosen for the hero,
having found out the art of transmuting metals, and
starts with the most sanguine views of enjoyment,
at first becomes a thoroughly blasi rich man ; tired of
the amusements which his inexhaustible wealth pro-
cures, and lured to virtue by an amiable girl (Mrs.
Stirling) in humble life, he tries philanthropy, but in
his benevolent character he produces greater mischiefs
than before, for his profuse charity stops the industry
of the poor and causes a famine. In the construction
of the piece, which opens with a scene of all the
metals personified, and then introduces them as trans-
formed into beings of a human interest, the author
has followed the plan of his own Diogenes, where he
has treated the Greek gods and goddesses in the same
fashion. The dialogue has all the caustic smartness
of that celebrated Christmas piece. The characters
most prominent are Paracelsus, in which Mr. Leigh
Murray admirably shows the effects of successive
phases of fortune, and two comic servants, played with
great humour and vivacity by Mr. Compton and Miss
Marshall. The songs, to popular tunes, are highly
effective.

ADELPIII.

There were no holiday novelties at this house last
evening ; the performances consisting of The White
Sergeants, which we noticed a short time since; the
interesting little drama (which ought to have a better
name) of Playing First Fiddle, and the popular farce
of Tom Noddy 's Secret. All the established fa-
vourites with the public, who have been familiar with
their recollections of the principal characters in those
pieces, respectively sustained their parts last night
with their wonted cleverness and success. The per-
formances passed off without any incident to call for
particular comment, anti the audience, though not
numerous, was respectable. In all probability the
fineness of the day attracted most of the holiday folks
to other amusements and entertainments than mere
urban dramatic ones. At about half-past eleven the
entire performances had terminated.
A new piece, under the title of Jack in the Green,
was to have been brought out, but according to the
announcement in the bills it was postponed until to-
morrow.

SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.

The fineness of the weather yesterday tempted
many of the holiday people to the Zoological Gardens
at Wal worth, where the animals, enriched of late
with several splendid specimens presented by her
Majesty, attracted the attention of the visitors. But
the crowning attraction of the place was a magnifi-
cent dioramic picture, illustrative of Napoleon's pas-
sage of the Alps, painted by those celebrated artists
the Messrs. Denson. The illusion of the scene is very
striking. The French army are represented at first in
bivouac in one of the valleys—the stupendous Alps
enclosing them on every side, and threatening to pre-
sent an insurmountable obstacle to their march. The
mountains are admirably depicted—bere green with
pasture and moving with pines—there shooting out
into rugged and pointed peaks—the snowy top of
Mont St. Bernard filling np the back ground. The
pyrotechnic display by Mess rs. Southby was very
gorgeous, introducing several novel and brilliant
effects in water rockets, revolving pieces, &c., and re-
presenting at the close a transparency of the Emperor
Napoleon, crossing the Alps, after the celebrated pic-
ture by M. David, while by ingenious machinery the
French troops are seen struggling up the rugged
heights and dragging the artillery in the hollow
trunks of trees, giving in fact, a vivid illustration of
the difficulties attending that celebrated military move-
ment. M. Jullien and his band were in attendance,
and played several admired pieces in the course of the
evening.

VINE HEAD OF HAIR.
OWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL.
The extraordinary efficacy, and happy amalgamation of its
purely exotic- materials, have rendered it justly renowned through-
out the world for its remarkales virtues in nourishing, preserving,
and beautifying the Human Hair. It insinuates its balsamic
properties into the pores of the head, nourishes the Hair in Its
embryo state, accelerates its growth, cleanses it trom Scurf and
Dandruff, sustains it is maturity, and continues its pos-
session of healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redun-
dancy, to the latest period of human life. Its operation in eases'
of baldness is peculiarly active; so that, in numerous instances
Wherein other remedies have been tried in vain, ROWLANDS'
MACASSAR OIL has superseded the ornaments of art, by re-in-
stating, in full plenitude, the permanent gifts and graces of
nature. For children it is especially recommended, as forming the
basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use of the line-
comb unnecessary.

ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.

The attraction offered yesterday evening at this
popular and delightful place of entertainment for the
Whitsuntide holidays, consisted in the revival of the
grand military, equestrian, and dramatic spectacle,
first produced with considerable eclat in 1843, called
The Afghanistan War; or, the Revolt of Cabul, and
British Triumphs in India. This drama, founded on
the memorable and eventful wars in India, calls into
action all the um- quailed resources of this famous esta •
blishment, and vividly pourtrays, by a rapid series of
striking spectacles and animated tableaux the more
interesting and memorable incidents and events which
characterized that historic struggle to confirm British
rule over the tribes and the territory of India. The
piece consists of three acts, the first of which repre-
sents the insurrection of Cabul, the wild rebellion of
the Cabullies, the destruction of the British buildings
by the Ghazees, and the devoted gallantry of the
British soldiers, the death of Shah Soojah, the
Sovereign, the peril of Lady Sale, and the conflagra-
tion of the city, the principal mart of Central
Asia. The second act embraces the spectacle of the
Khyber Pass on the two terrific days in January,
1841, the fortress of Jellalabad, the struggle of the
British, a sortie of the besieged, led on by the gallant
Sale, and the final destruction of the Affghans. The
third act embodies a series of striking incidents com-
memorative of the British triumph in India. The
principal characters were well sustained by Mr. Syl-
vester (Lord Ellenborough) Mr. Nelson (Sir Robert
Sale), Mrs. Moreton Brookes (Lady Sale), Mr. A.
Powell (General Nott), Mr. Moody (General Pol-
lock), and Mr. Widdicomb (Major-General Elphin-
stone). The graver part of the performance was
pleasingly relieved by the humours of Mahoney
McHandel (Mr. T. Barry), Taffy a Tap (Mr.
Johnson), and Jenny Nettles (Miss Lydia Pearce).
Mr. T. Barry's " Sprig of Shillelah" on " the light
fantastic" was a unique and unrivalled per-
formance in its way, and was deservedly encored.
The piece of the evening over, a series of amazing feats
of equitation followed in the " Cirque Olympique,"
in which Mr. A. Powell, Miss Barrand, Mr. Charles
Adams, and Mr. J. Bridges exhibited in succession
their prodigious skill. The performances of La
Petite Jeannette, the infant prodigy, and her dimi-
nutive pet steed, Harebell, elicited the applause and
admiration of every body present. The scenes in
the circle were enlivened by the drolleries of those
unrivalled jesters, Mr. T. Barry and Mr. Wheal ;
the performance of the former on " the first fiddle,"
drew forth peals of laughter, and should be heard
and seen to be appreciated. The laughable, farce of
the Two Gregories concluded the entertainments of
the evening, which were witnessed by a numerous
audience.

ST. JAMES'S.

The comedy of Le Marie a la Campagne was
acted last night by Mr. Mitchell's company, the
principal characters being sustained by M. Regnier,
M. Lafont, and Mdlle. Nathalie, who played with
their accustomed excellence. This amusing
piece was performed a year or two ago by the French
comedians in London, but its representation excited
last night a new species of interest, in consequence
of the success which has attended the English version
brought out at the Haymarket under the title of the
Serious Family. Few translated plays have been so
popular as this ; and to produce the original piece—
embodied with the highest ability—was a timely
thought on the part of Mr. Mitchell. The house was
well and fashionably filled.

SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GHRDENS.

The fineness of the weather yesterday tempted
many of the holiday people to the Zoological Gardens
at Walworth, where the animals, enriched of late
with several splendid specimens presented by her
Majesty, attracted the attention of the visitors. But
the crowning attraction of the place was a magnifi-
cent dioramic picture, illustrative of Napoleon's pas-
sage of the Alps, painted by those celebrated artists
the Messrs. Danson. The illusion of the scene is very
striking. The French army are represented at first in
bivouac in one of the valleys—the stupendous Alps
enclosing them on every side, and threatening to pre-
sent an insurmountable obstacle to their march. The
mountains are admirably depicted—.here green with
pasture and moving with pines—there shooting out
into rugged and pointed peaks—the snowy top of
Mont St. Bernard filling up the back ground. The
pyrotechnic display by Mess rs. Southby was very
gorgeous, introducing several novel and brilliant
effects in water rockets, revolving pieces, &c, and re-
presenting at the close a transparency of the Emperor
Napoleon, crossing the Alps, after the celebrated pic-
ture by M. David, while by ingenious machinery the
French troops are seen struggling up the rugged
heights and dragging the artillery in the hollow
trunks of trees, giving in fact, a vivid illustration of
the difficulties attending that celebrated military move-
ment. M. Jullien and his band were in attendance,
and played several admired pieces in the course of the

SADLER'S WELLS.

At this agreeable little retreat of the revived legiti-
mate no recourse was had to any temporary expe-
dient for Whit-Monday to draw a full holiday house,
nor was it needed, the excellence of the management
having raised up a faith in the effectiveness of its
productions sufficient to throng the benches to their
very utmost at any season of relaxation, without the
meretricious aid of extravaganzas. Last night,
accordingly, a crowded house assembled to avail
themselves of the opportunity which Sheridan
Knowles's play of William Tell presented of wit-

WHITSUN AMUSEMENTS.

THE THEATRES, &c.
HAYMARKET.

Though there was nothing of novelty at this most
attractive place of amusement, the standard pieces
sufficed to draw together and delight a tolerably large
audience. Douglas Jerrold's comedy of the Catspaw
was the first piece, and ran like a stream in summer
sunshine sparkling along. The burlesque of Ivanhoe
followed, and concluded the performances ; but as
both pieces have been already fully noticed, we are
not on the present occasion called on to say more than
that their attraction appeared to be as great as ever—
no mean test of their merits—considering that the
first piece was played last night, we believe, for the
tenth time, and the second piece for the forty-
second.

ballet, invented and produced by Mr. Flexmore,
I called The Contrabandist, in which the agile and
grotesque powers of that unequalled pantomimist,
and Madle.-Auriol's singular brilliancy and facility of
execution, formed a rare combination of excellence.
We have never seen Flexmore exert himself more
happily, even at the Princess's, where he was the
" right eye" of that once attractive establishment—
but deserted now is the tent of SHED& ! It is hardly
fair to place this first-rate ballet at the end, when the
spectators are, naturally beginning to feel somewhat
languid after the many previous pieces. Such artistes
as Flexmore and Auriol are not to be postponed to
either the splendour of " the lake of gems," or the
rich comicality of " Bones" himself. It is said that
arrangements-are being made for giving a series of
operatic entertainments at this theatre next month.
In the mean time, we cordially recommend those who
desire to spend a pleasant evening, and to be inte-
rested and amused by talent and variety, to pay a
visit to the Surrey during the run of the present
progamme.

The Cortes have voted the following resolution :
" That seven members of the Cortes be elected as a

SWITZERLAND.
The Grand Council of Berne met, by extraordinary
convocation of the Government, on the 16th. About
190 members out of 227 were present. After some
unimportant affairs had been dispatched, the Govern-
ment submitted to the Grand Council three proposi-
tions :-1, to approve all tbe measures which have
been taken by it ; 2, to accord the credits necessary
for providing for the expenses ; 3, to grant to the
Government powers to act according to circum-
stances. The last proposition gave rise to a sharp
debate, and was warmly opposed by the opposition,
on the ground that it was an enormity, under pre-
sent circumstances, to give to the Government ex-
traordinary powers, and that those it at present pos-
sesses are sufficient for maintaining orders. The first
two propositions were adopted ; on the third two
amendments were proposed, one for negativing it
altogether, the other for confirming the powers de-
manded within the limits of the Constitution ; but
both were rejected, and the proposition was adopted

SURREY.

The bill of fare fur Whit-Monday at this regene-
rated theatre presented a considerable array of attrac-
tion. The principal novelty was a romantic drama
ip four acts, founded on Eugene Sue's well-known
novel of " katbilde," and entitled Matilda; or Lu-
garto the Mulatto. The adaptation is cleverly exe-
cuted, and the piece proved completely successful.
The cool and daring villainy of Lugarto was admir-
ably impersonated by Mr. T. Mead. Madame Fonisi
was a lady -like representative of the heroine, and Mr.
Raymond deserves great credit for the talented and
effective manner in which he gave the part of Sec-
herin, the duped and avenged husband. the part of
Dubois, a woodman, trifling in itself, was ren-
dered a noticeable feature in the fourth act
by Mr. Fitzroy, whose merits were deservedly
appreciated by the audience. Mr. Shepherd, as
Gontran de Lancry was capitally made up; but
should he ever have to fight a duel in earnest, let him
not come to the field in a coat conspicuous for a
double row of gilt buttons. After the termination of
the drama, Mr. G. Pell and his company of Ethiopian
serenaders gave a choice selection of sable melodies.
One of the troupe is an exquisite performer on the
accordeon, but " Bones" it was who forthwith walked
into the affections of the auditory. This talented
brotherhood appeared again after the Three Princes
had been repeated for the fortieth time, with its
closing scene of surpassing splendour, which elicits
admiration and applause with unimpaired intensity.

ADELPHI.

There were no holiday novelties at this house last
evening ; the performances consisting of The White
Sergeants, which we noticed a short time since; the
interesting little drama (which ought to have a better
name) of Playing First Fiddle, and the popular farce
of Tom Noddy 's Secret. All the established fa-
vourites with the public, who have been familiar with
their recollections of the principal characters in those
pieces, respectively sustained their parts last night
with their wonted cleverness and success. The per-
formances passed off without any incident to call for
particular comment, and the audience, though not
numerous, was respectable. In all probability the
fineness of the day attracted most of the holiday folks
to other amusements and entertainments than mere
urban dramatic ones. At about half-past eleven the
entire performances had terminated.
A new piece, under the title of Jack in the Green,
was to have been brought out, but according to the
announcement in the bills it was postponed until to-
morrow.

was raised in the Chamber, he said that at all events be

what he had before said, that the facts of the
case had been perverted, and expressed his surprise
that atter the way the Government had acted it should
now come and demand a bill of indemnity. Its object
was to make the Senate participate in its responsibility,
but that, he thought, was a snare into which the Senate
would not readily fell. He should theretore propose

SADLER'S WELLS.

At this agreeable little retreat of the revived legiti-
mate no recourse was had to any temporary expe-
dient for Whit-Monday to draw a full holiday house,
nor was it needed, the excellence of the management
having raised up a faith in the effectiveness of its
productions sufficient to throng the benches to their
very utmost at any season of relaxation' without the
meretricious aid of extravaganzas. Last night,
accordingly, a crowded house assembled to avail
themselves of the opportunity which Sheridan
Knowles's play of William Tell presented of wit-
nessing Mr. Phelps's vigorous and judicious style in
the heroic character of the Swiss patriot, and the
varied ability and correct taste with which he was
supported in the cast of the other characters. Mr.
George Bennett played Gesler, and Mrs. Brougham
Emma (Tell's wife), but in so much excellence it
were, perhaps, invidious to particularise. The comedy
of the Soldier's Daughter constituted a rather
lengthened (three acts) but most acceptable after-
piece, judging from the unflagging zest with which
