ITALY.

The Grand Duke of TUSCANY has promulgated, in
the official Gazette of the 23d, a decree, dated Sep-
tember 21, abolishing the Representative Assembly,
and re-establishing absolute power.
The differences between Rome and Piedmont re-
main unsettled. The POPE is inclined to adopt con-
ciliatory measures, but he is opposed by the Cardi-
nals, who uphold the priests of Piedmont, who are
for the most part agents and spies of Austria, in
their-rebellion against the laws of their country. The
Arnaonia, the organ of the parti•pretre, has the fol-
lowing :
" We are authorised to contradict that which some
journals, and especially the Gazetta del Popalo, affirm,
and to state positively that the bishops assembled at
Villanovetta have not ceased a single instant to be
faithful to the principles and convictions proclaimed
by them only a few months since, in accord with all
the episcopacy of the kingdom. They ardently desire
to see a conflict, alike prejudicial to the spiritual
interests which are confided to them, and to the in-
terests of the State, terminated. All their efforts have
had for their end, up to this momen►, the accomplish-
ment of this desire; they will not cease to act in the
same manner, but always confining themselves within
the limits prescribed to them by the respect and obedi-
ence due to the Holy Father, and to the inviolable and
invariable principles of the Holy Catholic, Apostolic, and
Roman Church."

The people, on the other hand, are firm in their op-
position to the encroachments of the priestly power.
The municipal council of Alexandria has adopted
the following resolution :
" The council, applauding the firmness displayed by
the Ministry in the exccution of the Siccardi laws, urges
it to persevere, and to present, on the opening of Parlia-
ment, other laws of filo same Lind, to complete the re-
forms commenced. The council also enga.es the Go-
vernment to distribute and administer the prop-rty of
the clergy in a more satisfactory way." •

DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

A letter from Constantinople, 15th inst., in the
Dards, says—" A conspiracy has been discovered
at Bucharest, which has very extended ramifica-
tions. Several arrests have taken place. Al-
though this plot has failed, it has produced a
moment of crisis, by bringing into action the
different influences which divide the Government
at Bucharest. Stir Beg, the Prince of Walla-
chia, had wished to profit by the opportunity to change
his Ministry, composed of men the majority of whom
have been forced on him. Russia supports him in this
idea, because the present Cabinet appears to be better
disposed towards the Porte than towards the Cabinet
of St. Petersburgh, and she hopes to get Stir Beg to
accept in a new .Ministry the services of some of her
creatures. Ahmed Vefik-Effendi, the Turkish Com-
missioner, has' however, detested this double intrigue,
and the Cabinet has not been modified. The above
facts prove how very precarious is the duration of
tranquillity in the Danubian provinces."

ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.

Last night Mazeppa was performed, according to
the announcement in the bills, for the 92d time this
season, and notwithstanding the frequency of its
repetition its attraction seems to continue with com-
paratively but little abatement. Last night the house
was very well filled, and the audience appeared to be
greatly interested in the performance. A changeable
petite ballet on the double tight rope followed the
first piece. The new scenes in the circle succeeded,
introducing Mr. Henderson, the celebrated somersault
thrower, who appeared for the first time, and whose
feats were quite surprising. The displays of horse-
manship by Mr. John Bridges and the other members
of the troupe were enthusiastically applauded. In the
course of the evening Miss Annie Hardie sung a
Scotch ballad with much sweetness, which was
unanimously encored. The entertainments concluded
with a favourite farce.

a hunter's glee for the chorus, and a new overture.
The last two mentioned compositions will be per-
formed on the opening night. The chorus, partly
German and partly English, will ba first-rate.

THEATRE ROYAL PRINCESS'S

Hamlet was performed here last evening, and the
cast was as strong, the rendering as careful, and mise
en scene as perfect, as that of Twelfth Night on
Saturday. Hamlet was the character in which Mr.
Charles Kean made his first great impression on a
metropolitan audience. He fairly took the town by
storm in it, and has continued to be the Hamlet par
excellence ever since. His personation of the Prince
of Denmark, last night, was exquisitely beautiful;
every portion of the character was brought out, and
amidst the very whirlwind of his passion, even when
it was evident that "the mind was overthrown,"
yet it was equally evident that the mind thus over-
thrown was that of a ripe scholar and a polished gen-
tleman. Mrs. Charles Kean was the Ophelia, and
performed the part with a delicate appreciation of the
effects produced by occasional flushes of expiring
reason on the mind of "one distraught" with a most
pathetic truth to nature ; her expression in giving the
snatches of song was exquisitely touching. Miss
Phillipps as Gertrude was admirable. Harley and
Meadowes were the gravediggers—c'est tout dire en
un mot. The Polonius of Addison was excellent, and
the o.,ric of Alfred Wigan the very perfection of
foppery. The scenery was all new, and all appro-
priate, and worked excellently ; the play, in particular,
is worthy of especial commendation. The theatre
was crowded in every part—quite as crowded as it
was on Saturday evening.

PROPOSED NEW STATION.

Since our last Saturday's news we have learned
that the deputation from the London and North.
Western board examined the " quarry," together
with draft plans that had been prepared, but that
they gave the preference to a site nearer
to the city walls, where it appears the levels
are better, and where there is room fur a
more extended undertaking. The deputation was
Struck with the facility which the latter situation af-
fords for connecting the London and North-Western
traffic with that of the Shropshire Union Company,
and for getting thereby a cheap transfer of the
Welsh goods. They also found the place particu-
larly suitable for a coal depot, being connected
already with the canals and the river to a certain
extent ; and being capable, by an addition to the
size of the basins and docks, of doing trade to any
extent whatever. What would the Cestrians say,
if they saw the London and North-Western Company
promoting a Bill in the next session of Parliament
for deepening their river? Stranger things have
happened, and the Mold districts may prove better
feeders to the Chester and Holyhead line than was ex-
pected. Liqwever, fresh plans were ordered adapted
to the now position, with a view not only
to the passenger traffic, but to that in goods
and minerals. The estimates fur the passenger
station are ordered for a perfectly plain building,
but of white stone; and though no money is to be
expended on what may be termed mere ornament,
the building will present a handsoine appearance
from the walls, and will not cut off that splendid view
of Moe! Famma and her range fur which we are so
justly accustomed to claim the admiration of strangers.
As public chroniclers, we of course feel ibuund
to convey the earliest possible information
of anything affecting our city ; but we cannot but
deplore the existence of that ill-feeling which' it is
manifest must exist, to have driven the London
and North-Western Company to the determina-
tion to have an independent station ; and we are
credibly informed that the application made to
the Court of Chancery by the Shrewsbury and
Chester Company for the committal to the Queen's
Bench Prison of three of the gentlemen on the gene-
ral station committee opposed to them in views, has
done anything but improve that friendly feeling that
at one time did, and ought still to exist.—Chester
Chronicle.

POLY TECHNIC INSTITUTION.

Mr. George Barker commenced an engagement
here last night, and gave his lecture upon music, illus.
trated by some of his own ballads, with complete
success. The audience, which was very numerous,
frequently interrupted the performance by applauding
the lecturer. One of the greatest perfections of Mr.
Barker's singing is, you bear every word he utters.
During the lecture several new ballads were intro-
duced—such as the " Irish Emigrant" and" Patrick
Ma Cushla ;" and the entertainment concluded with
" Shall I, wasting in despair," which was encored.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 30—It is said that negotiations are
in progress between the new Solicitor-General and
one of the representatives of a midland county,
touching the acceptance of the Chiltern Hundreds by
the latter. Mr. Hughes has considerable Personal,
political, and family influence in the county in
question, and if a vacancy should arise, or be
conveniently created, his election would be by no
means improbable.

TUE TENANT LEAGUE.
" The Thanes are flying" from the councils of the
Tenant League. The difficulties and dangers to
which we have more than once alluded have seriously
alarmed the more prudent, and perhaps less enthu-
siastic members of the council, and, accordingly, we
find that several of the original promoters of the asso-
ciation have announced their intention of withdraw-
ing. Among those may be mentioned J. M. Cant-
well, Esq., solicitor, and the Messrs. Grey, of the
Freeman's Journal.

THE SEA SERPENT AGAIN.
A Caherciveen correspondent of the Tralee Chronicle
says—" Tnis monster, after his cruise along the coasts
of Cork and Limerick, has re-appeared off our shores.
On Monday last, Morgan Rahilly, who holds part of
Deenish, or the small ILig Island, from the Honour-
able Member for Tralee, while at work, perceived
something floating in the sound between the two hog
islands (Scariff and Deenish), which he at first tonic
to be a balk of timber ; taking hit boat, and provided
with a hawser and an axe, he pulled towards it. On
approaching, he saw the monster elevate its head, and
perceived that one of its eyes was bleeding and
damaged doubtless by the shots fired at the
monster when rubbing himself against the 13ancle
rocks, as mentioned in the Cork papers. Rahilly
made for the shore, and landed safely, the ser-
pent following him but slowly. Apparently the
strange visitor found the sharp rocks of Deenish
rather uncomfortable, for he tacked close to the reef,

and in so doing some six fathoms of his tail protruded
on shore. Rahilly got a bowling hitch of the hawser
round the tail, and securing the other end round a'
rock, proceeded to dock the monster with the axe.
The agonies and struggles of the serpent during the
attack are described as terrific ; but the " indomitable
Celt " persevered, and finally succeeded in cutting off
about three fathoms of the tail. The serpent, released
by the mutilation, made the best of his way to sea ;
and when seen last was standing to the north-west,
moving at the rate of about ten knots an hour, leav-
ing his tail as a trophy of victory to the tenant of
O'Connell. It is said that Rahilly will procure at
least a couple of hogsheads of oil from the amputated
portion, and an experienced fish-curer has pro-
nounced the quality to be equal to the best sperma-
ceti oil. The bone is said to resemble ivory, and the
scales are described as larger than oyster shells, and
with a lustre approaching mother of pearl."

REVIEW.

" This little monthly miscellany continues its praiseworthy ex-
ertions, with a tone of health and moral strength that would do
credit to magazines that claim a position in higher class litera-
ture. The critical netices arc sound, and decidedly liberal
in tone and feeling; and that mystery of literature. the sub-
ject of `The Myth,' is well, though se•erely, handled by Liolett,
who seeks to iurce those cloudy wrappings which are so embar-
rassing, and to exhibit this dreamy paradox in the most literal
sense."—Weekly Dispatch.

CITY SMALL DEBTS COURT

(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. BULLOCK.)
FOREMAN V. BARTLE TUE YOUNGER.
This was a summons taken out on a judgment ob-
tained in one of the superior courts. The defendant said
that he had passed the Insolvt at Court since the judg-
ment, and had obtained protection. The debt was in-
serted in the schedule.
His HONOUR, after some consideration, said he could
not make an order, for the protection was against all pro-
cess. personal or otherwise.
The plaintiff's attorney urged that it had been held in
other courts, that protection in insolvency was no pro-
tection t.gainst process in county courts.
His Horroua thought otherwise and refused to make
the order.
A great number of cases have been decided contrary
to this decision, but an action for false imprisonment has
been brought against one of the judges of the County
Court for committing a defendant under similar circum-
stances.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
There was only one case, " Hall v. Spilsbury," 00, a
bill of exchange, fur 101.3 x. 6d. Thefe, was no defence;
a verdict was given for the amount.

wick, charged with stealing f a
Is. 6d. belonging to his employers.
William Roberts, a clerk in the employ of the prose-
cutors, stated that it was part of his duty every evening
after business to empty certain drawers, and ascertain
the amount of cash taken therein during the day. For
some evenings past, after counting the money, be had
noticed a great falling cff in the takings, which led him
to suspect that some person in that department had
robbed the drawers, and as the prisoner had access
to that department, suspicion fell upon him,
and witne*s, in order to detect the thief,
marked several pieces t f silver coin, which
he placed in a draws. On Thursday morning about
four o'clock, he hid himself in a cupboard, horn whence
be had a view of the drawer in which he had placed the
marked money, and in a few minutes after, he saw tha
prisoner enter and go to the drawer, which he opened
with a key. Witness then saw him put his hand in and
take something out. He then rushed from his place of
concealment, seized hold v-f the prisoner, and found Is. 6th
of the marked money in his hand. Witness then com-
municated with ono of the firm, and the prisoner was
given into custody. On b ing searched at the station, a
gold watch, a sovereign, and a quantity of silver coin
was found upon him.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial.
ANOTHER WATCH IiUBBERY.-Altit Bennet, known
to the police as a notorious " cully," was brought before
Mr. Hardwick, charged with being concerned, with a
woman, not in custody, with stealing from the person of
Mr. George Corpe Whitfield, a medical student, residing
at 64, Lamb's Conduit-street, a gold watch and chair:,
value 101.
It appeared from the evidence adduced that, last night
the prosecutor WAS proceeding along John-street Oz.

LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCII 15, 1850.

Wonderful to relate, the Whig Government has a
prospect of appearing before the nation with a finan-
cial statement adorned by a surplus of about two
millions sterling. Simultaneously, however, with
this good fortune, comes the movement, the strong
andainexorable movement, in favour:of a reduction in
our expenditure. Harassed by the conflicting
advantages and disadvantages of its position, the
Cabinet endeavours to relieve itself from the dangers
of this dilemma, by thrusting the population between
the horns of another yet more perilous to the country,
we mean the choice of an arduous and embarrassing
alternative. On the very morning of the day when the
Chancellor of the Exchequer will have to submit his
annual budget to the House of Commons a most
extraordinary " feeler" is thrown out by the mouth-
piece of the Administration. After glorifying and
magnifying the surplus secured by the existing
system, until any one ignorant of the matter might
readily imagine that this said surplus wag twenty
millions instead of two—it is intimated that now has
arrived the opportunity in which it will be expedient
to terminate that plan of surrender which has through
preceding eessions bit by bit mitigated the amount of
the national taxation. Now, quotha ! Now, when the
profligate disbursements of the treasures of these Islands
of Industry have become more than even unendurable !
Now, when the community is moved to its very heart of
hearts by an abhorrence of such continuous prodigality
and such interminable extravagance ! Now, when the
Oays of sinecurists and pluralists are numbered, when
their doom has been virtually pronounced, not by
some oracle of Delphi, or by some Sybil of Curacea,
but by the will of the people and by the voice of their
true representatives ! Now, when the inevitable
diminution of all this monstrously unnecessary ex-
penditure.has already commenced, and when gigantic
preparations ire making for the removal of everything
costly and' superfluous in the working of the ma-
cbinery of the Constitution—it is discovered that of all
times, and seasons, and epochs, this is the available and
appropriate ong for the Whigs to withstand any further
concessions. "No more surrender !" becomes the
cry of the Whig faction, when for nearly the first
time in the annals of their Administration they find
themselves, somewhat to their own astonishment, in
possession of a surplus. "No more surrender!" at
