The Piedmontfsp Government has severely repri-
mandel its charge d'Affaires at Rome for not having
at once called upon Cardinal ANTONELLI to withdraw
the note which he had addressed to the Piechnonte,e
Government in terms not in accordance with diplo-
matic etiquette or with national dignity, and to which
note the Piedmonteie Government has replied in a
firm and becoming manner.

HER MAJESTY'S TRIP TO SCOTLAND.
At a dinner to Robert Stephenson, Esq., M.P., at
Newcastle, on Wednesday (which appears in another
column), the following letter from a Cabinet Minister
was read by Mr. Leman, who, in returning thanks to a
toast in honour of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick
Railway, announced that her Mijesty and Prince Al-
bert would be present at the formal opening, in confir-
mation of which be read a letter he had received from
the Earl of Carlisle, putting the question beyond all
doubt:—

.6 My dear Leman,—lf you bavo not already been ap-
prised, I am now able to acquaint you that the Queen
and Prince Albert will open tho Berwick Railway on
the 29L11 of August. They will se: off from Castle
Howard that morning, and will sleep in Edinburgh. I
shall rely upon your making ail the railway arrange-
ments as convenieLtly as possible.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

This hou,e last night was more than usually crowded.
The Pets of the Ballet appearing to be the great source of
attraction. The dancing of Mae. Louise and Mdlle.lßG-
sina Wright Eras excellent. The management may think
themselves fortunate in possessing an artiste such as
Mdlle. Wright—her dancing is truly the poetry of mo-
tion. The Malcontent gent off heavier than usual, and,
as we observed before, is wholly unfitted for the English
stage. The afterpiece of the Two Pages of Frederick
the Great appeared to give univeral satisfaction, if one
may judge from the continued . hughter and applause
with which it was received. Madame Ritzberg was
well and feelingly played by Mrs. Griffiths but the
charm of the piece was the great talent and
vivacity which Miss Florence Grey, as Theodore,
threw into her part. We have seldom seen a character
that pleased us better. She rattled through the part of
the merry-hearted Theodore with a joyous mirth!ulness
that was quite bewitchitg. Well did she deserve the ap-
plause she received. The acting of Miss Florence Grey,
when she found the ducats, ern! practises the pious fraud
of telling a falsehood to the King, to screen Augustus,
was a masterpiece of actin r. Having said thus much,
Miss Grey will not feel offended if we remark that she
speaks too much from the teeth, and not from the chest,
which weakens a voice naturally pleasing and melodious.
However, the character was admirably played, and does
Miss Florence Grey much credit.

THE BLACK MALIBRAN.

The second Spanish performance of Donna Maria
Loretto Martini z, the Black Alalibran, took place at
these rooms last evening, and, as on the former occasion,
she was assisted by the Messrs. Ciebra, whose per-
formances are" the very perfection of guitar p!a3inge
The Black Malibran was in excellent voice, and sang
delightfully; she was • applauded to the echo, and her
singing last evening more than confirms us in the opinion
which we formerly expressed as to the very interesting
nature of her performances and their great originality.:

JURISDICTION OF THE RIVER AND

LANDING PLACES. ----
(FltuDl A CORRESPONDENT.)
The notice you so- promptly took of the Thames
Ferry, respecting the landing•pla.ce on the Surrey or
Southwark side of London.bridge, has roused a great
deal of interest for' its continuance, being mentioned in
all other papers, end a deputation yesterchy were as-
sured that the pr•Rer officer to the Admiralty should be
direced to look iuo it. Thus the inordinate vanity of
the Bridge House Committee may be curbed, who assume
to themselves to attempt to destroy so extensive a con-
venience to the public, and which does no harm to the
waaton CDmplainants. The Members for Southwark
may pPrhapi be f•pArn to cri the su'ojec:, particu-

TO TIDE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—As your columns are always open to advocate
justice and expo,e oppression, will you permit me to
icquire, through the medium of your journal, whether
the Bridge House Committee, being proprietors of a
wharf adjoining the• public stairs, on the Surrey side of
London. bridge, are justified in the exercise of their
private interest in depriving, not only the public of an
accommodation they we justly entitled to, but the poor
waterman. of the means of subsistence, merely to satisfy
the caprice of a tenant, a Mr. Fanning, occupying an
adjoining wharf. The tact is, that a pier on the Surrey
side of London-bridge, and the only one between it and
Lambeth, a distance of three miles, has been erected
by the poor watermen fur the accommodation of pas-
sengers to and from she various railways on that side
the water, and to obviate the danger unavoidably in-
curred by passengers crossing the road, obtained leave
of the IVaingation Committee to carry a brow, or thorough-
fare, unocr the arch up the south side of the bridge, by
which accommodation upwards of 120,000 persons have
in a very short time passed. Mr. Fenning, the tenant
of the adjoining wharf, became annoyed by this pier
(though quite detached from his wharf), and petitioned
consequence peremptorily ordered its immediate removal.

This conduct appears so exceedingly arbitrary and un-
justifiable, at variance with all reason, arid in despite
of the petitions of upwards of 2,000 persons of all classes
—depriving the public of an accommodation so great,
that I am induced .to ask, where the power of appeal (if
any) against such fragrant oppression on the part of the
Bridge House Committee lies. Probably some of your
readers will Worth me.

a simple though elegant style. becoming tl:e tastes of a Queen
so domestic in her habits. The arrangements are new nearly
completed at liolvrcod. Though the precise period of the

lieve, that it will take place befura the 20th of August.—
