ITALY.

The Conservatore of Florence, of the 20th, states
from Rome, that the dignity of Senator of that capital
has been offered to the Prince of ROWAN°, who is
said to have declined on the plea of ill health.
The Clero Cattolico of Padua quotes a letter frcra
Verona of the 30th ult., stating that thu congrega-
tion of the Fathers of Charity had just been dissolved
by an Imperial decree, and that the Bishop of VE-
RONA has been directed to provide by other means for
the spiritual instruction of the flock who were under
their charge.

HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLP.--WoRK.
&P.—We are happy to record that his Grace's health is still
improving. We believe that the Noble Duke's recovery
would be hailed with great delight, not only by the whole of
the county of Nottingham, but by the country at large. his
Grace's numerous tenantry, and the inhabitants of Worksop
especially, heartily wish for his life to be prolonged amongst
them, for as lord of the manor of Worksop the Duke of New-
castle has latterly given several substantial proofs of his
kindness and regard.

The appearance of this new edition at the present moment will

which the work treats not only attract, but absorb, the mind of the
nation. Its chapters on "The Genius otthe Papacy," on the "Cri-
tical Position of our earlier Protestant Sovereigns, with regard to
their Roman Catholic subjects" from the Consequences of the oaths
of aPegianoe and stippremacy ; on " The Study of Polemical Di-
vinity," and kindred themes, are in fact the history of the events,
the thoughts, the passions, and the perplexities of the present agi-
tated epoch.

SCENE THE THIRD,

THE CORAL STABLE OF THE THOUSAND STEEDS.

Here O'Donoghue's White Horse is seen quite atv
homeenjoying
his banquet, waited upon by Ponies and Water Fairies. He is in the
prime of lite. " None of your has-beens," for he " never has beans,"
but dines off his three courses like a gent. consisting of a TUREEN
of PUMP SOUP, a dish of STEWED HORSE LEECHES, and a
plateau of CORNED BEEF, the whole washed down by a bottle of
CLOVER WINE. Having a turn for taciturnity, he stands no
" chaff," and having cat his corns, has no objections to a little dance.
Dermot chooses a Horse, which, as might be expected, proves " one
in a thousand." He feel; " quite up in the stirrups," and as he is
changing his clothes, he is closed in by changing the scene to

SCENE THE FOURTH. - -
THE LAUGHING FOREST.

Whiskey and Mischief meet again. The Evil Spirit tells the Hag
that ho has obtained Dermot's far:Amite Horse, and on it he hopes to
win the race, and thus bring Kathleen rrithin their power. The
trees enjoy the fun, and though precious old ones, " laugh like
new 'uns."

SCENE THE FIFTH.
MAY-DAY IN TIIE HILLS OF KILLARNEY.
Mete we find Morris Dancing, Running in a Sack, Grinning through
a Collar, and other delicate amusements previous to the GREAT
TRIAL! All the competitors seize their stirrups, and some of them
"put their foot in it." But where is Dermot? If they start without
him, there will be a start with a vengeance. But no ! he is coming,
and very becoming he comes. All is prepared; off they go. TLis
proves true enough, for many go off over their horses' necks. Der-
mot leaps his Lordship's "gate" after a "style" of his own Whiskey
being a lad of " spirit," is not at all behind. Now for the Race,
which is to decide all ! Kathleen trembl s. Whiskey must put his
strength to the proof. Kathleen takes courage, for to her Dermot is
tar too winning to lose—nor does he ; bat Whiskey getting possessicn
of Kathleen and the Fairy Steed, flies off with her. All consterea-
tion—"Pursue, pursue."

APPOINTMENTS

WOOLWICH, DEC. 27.—Surgeon—Samuel Donnelly
(1842), to the Samson steam-frigate, at Devonport.
Assistant-Surgeons—James Campbell (A) (1845), to
the Imam, 72, receiving ship at Jamaica; Julian W.
Slight (1846), formerly serving in the Teaz.-~r steam
vessel, to the Amphitrite, 24, at Portsmouth; Donald G.
Pendrith (1850), (acting), to the Samson; and Robert
Creighton (1850), (acting), to the Victory flag ship at
Portsmouth.

It may be here mentioned, fer the satisfaction of the
West Indian interest and those who have friends in that
quarter of the world, that the above appointments Of
Assistant-Surgeon James Campbell to the Imaum, and
several:Surgeons and Assistant-Surgeons we have re-
c.ntly announced as being appointed to be borne on the
books of that vessel, hair.) been made for the purpose of
their serving at Jamaica during the prevalence of the
cholera there. We deem it but justice to the Admiralty,
who have responded to the appeal to them fir aid, to
m.ke this explanation, as thousands have no idea that
the appointments ti the Imaura are fur the purpose we
have stated.

The Princeqs Alice, Dover mail steam-packet, came
up 'he river yesterday ifiernoon to Woolwich, and will
b, ready to leave tomorrow to resume her duties on the
Dover station.

The Volcano steam-sloop, Commander Rivers, was
obliged to come to moorings in Galleons-reach yester-
day afternoon, shortly after she left the dockyard, owing
to the dense fog which came on at the time. She started
again at an early hour this morning for Greenhithe, to
have her compasses adjusted.

AYLESBURY ELECTION.

FRIDAY ETENING.—The nomination of Mr. John
Houghton yesterday, in opposition to Mr. Frederick
Calvert, Q.C., unexpectedly gave rise to a poll. Mr.
Houghton bad been in the field with Mr. Calvert arid
Sergeant Byles, but he retired first, that the Liberal in-
terest might not be divided. Mr. Sergeant Byles' re-
tirement somewhat changed the position of parties, and
so Mr. Hougton allowed himself to be nominated at the
last hour. But it was of little use, although a strong
feeling prevailed that he would receive Protectionist
support, on account of his proposals fur ,agricultural re-
lit His extreme Radical principles, however, were
against him, and Mr. Calvert's preparations, in the event
of a poll, were so extensive as to prevent all chance of
a tenant farmer becoming a Member of Parliament at
present.

The Chancellor's Closet.

How this is a rising scene, for every one is getting up—how the
ablutions of the Lord Chancellor are attended by unexpected evolu-
tions—how, in arranging his dress, what a dressing he gets—bow he
determines to Sally forth to his bewitching Maude, and how Maudlin
he is—how he intends to surprise her, but how he is astonished him-
self—how the old woman would have "two beautifhl trees" cut down,
and how he would have the forest cut up—how her inducements
prove a hoax—how this is a black joke for "'Cis not all gold that
glitters"—how the Chancellor's rage gets the better of his reaFon—
how he sinks exhausted with terror. and the scene with machinery.

A Room behind the Shop of Old Bucklesbury's House.
" How the course of true love never did run smooth"—how Mande
and Hal arc roughly treated—how they think papa I is out, but how
much more out they are—how, everything going wrong, Hal pro-
mises to write; and how a stop is put to his intentions by a note of
interrogation—how papa denounces Hal, and announces another
suitor, who don't suit her—how the Chancellor makes strong love,
though weak in effect—how he first nurses himself with hope and
then the babby with pap—how the old woman of Finchley comes to
Intercede for Big Ben, but does not succeed—how Humpty's laugh
produces a cry, which leads to other cries, a domestic scene of con-
fusion, and to

ITALY.

A letter from Rome of the 9th, in the Messaggere
Modanese, states that the Papal Government has de-
termined to order all naked statues in the churches to
be covered, including the little marble angels that
have for ages been expised to public gaze, and the
Genius at the tomb of Clement, by Canova. By the
same account, paintings are likely to undergo the
same ordeal. _ _ _

The Tuscan Illonitore of the 19th, publishes a con-
vention concluded between Tuscany and Rome for
the better repression of smuggling.
In its sitting of the 21st the Senate of Turin passed
the Bill abolishing the feudal right of the bannalita,
by which the tenant was obliged to have his corn
ground at his landlord's mill, by 51 votes to 7.
The Milan Gazette announces the arrival of Field-
Marshal Radetzky at Verona, on the 19th.

the disaster. It amounts to 618,078 f., of which
356,659 f. have been expended up to the 30th ult.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATU4D4 Y y EVENING, DECEMBER 28, lB5O.

Henderson, as Clown, and Mr. Rivolti, as Pantaloon,
throughout the whole piece kept the audience in
continued laughter, while the dEncing of Mr. and Mrs.
W. H. Harvey, as Harlequin and Columbine, was
repeatedly applauded. The urechanical transforma-
tions were cleverly designed znd skilfully executed,
and we cannot give too great praise to the manage-
ment for the spirit and liberality which has been
displayed in the placing of this piece on the
stage. Many opportunities were afforded by the
plot of introducing Mr. Batty's beautiful stud,
and we are convinced that where enjoyment of genuine
mirth is the object in view Astley's will be the place
first to be chosen by all the sight seers of the season.
So the audience seemed to think on Thursday, as was
testified by their frequent and long-continued applause.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Vice-Admiral Sir George Francis Seymour, C. 8.,
G.C.H., has nominated his son, Captain G. H. Seymour,
as his flag captain. The Admiral was desirous of baying
for bis secretary Mr. Kent, the officer who served with
him in that capacity in the Pacific, but that gentleman's
bad state of health has prevented him from accepting
the nomination.

Commander Owen Phibbs Knott, whose nomination to
the Coast-guard service we have given this week, has
been appointed inspecting commander of the Queens-
town district, vice Commander W. O'Brien Hoard who
has resigned.
Commander George Johnson has been appointed in-
specting commander of the Wells Coast-guard district,
vice Commander Henry Home Bingham, whose period
of service has expired.
A lieutenant's out-pension of Greenwich Hospital is
vacant by the decease of Samuel Spencer (1806), on the
19th instant, at Birkenhead, aged 71. This gallant and
much respected officer served no less than 43 years on
full pay. He entered the navy in 1796, was wounded
when midshipman of the Maidstone, 32, in pursuit of a
French privateer; was in the Victory at the battle of
Trava;gar, He was m Ade lieutenant into the Prince of
Wales, 98, October, 1806. As a lieutenant he served
in the Achille, 74, cruising off Ferrold. Then he had
an appointment in the impress service, and afterwards
joined the Ronaldo, 10. From 1823 to 1837 he was em-
ployed in the transport service, and from 1839 was sp..
pointed Admiralty contract mail steam-packet agent.
He was stated to have served in the battle of Algiers.
Lieutenant F. Drew (1836) of the coast-guard service,
died on the 18th inst., at Brighton. He entered the
navy in 1812, and was forty-seven years of age. He
served twelve years as mate, and as ►ieutenant served in

The Conservatore of Florence, of the 20th, states
from Rome, that the dignity of Senator of that capital
has been offered to the Prince of ROVIANO, who is
said to have declined on the plea of ill health.
The Clero Cattolico of Padua quotes a letter from
Verona of the 30th ult , stating that the congrega-
tion of the Fathers of Charity had just been dissolved
by an Imperial decree, and that the Bishop of VE-
RONA has been directed to provide by other means for
the spiritual instruction of the flock who were under
their charge.

HIS GRACE 'IFIE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE.—WORK.
sor.—We are happy to record that his Grace's health is still
improving. We believe that the Noble Duke's recovery
would be bailed with great delight, not only by the whole of
the county of 'Nottingham, but by the country at large. PS
Grace'S numerous tenantry, and the inhabitants of Worksop
especially, heartily wish for his life to be prolonged amongst.
them, for as lord of the manor of Worksop the Duke of New—
castle has latterly given several substantial proofs of his
kindness and rcgard.

THE INDIA MAIL.

Another brief stroll south, and we start from South-
ampton, and in an hour have quitted " the Wight,"
rolled through the Bay of Biscay, seen, afar off—
" The cork-trees hoar, on Cintra's craggy height."
telescoped the Tagus, Parifa, and Trafalgar, and got
inside " the Pillars of Hercules." This is pretty sharp
work, but better remains behind. Southward we
sight Algiers, then make Malta, and form a personal
acquaintance with all between Alexandria, Cairo,
.and
Suez ; the Red Sea, Aden, Ceylon, and Calcutta are
made familiar to our eyes, and thus we drink in more
knowledge by our optic nerve in two brief hours, than
our fathers could have attained by a careful study, or
yet more painful travel, in two long years. The Over-
land Route is, to our taste, the most usefully instruc-
tive of these monster pictures.

BREES'S NEW ZEALAND, AUSTRALIA,

AND BENGAL.

The empire rising in the Pacific, there planted by
English enterprise, is one of those phenomena which
never fail in attracting the eye of the inquirer, and
fixing the attention of the philanthropist. The pre-
sent state of the vast island of New Zealand, of Van
Diemen's Land, and the continent of Australasia (for
its magnitude deserves the title of a main land), are
here picturesquely, and, as we are told, most accu-
rately, pencilled by the late surveyor•general.

APPOINTMENTS

WOOLWICH, DEC. 27.—Surgeon—Samuel Donnelly
(1842), to the Samson steam-frigate, at Devonport.
Assistant-Surgeons—James Campbpll (A) (1845), to
the Imaum, 72, receiving ship at Jamaica; Julian W.
Slight (1846), formerly serving in the Teazar steam
vessel, to the Amphitrite, 24, at Portsmouth; Donald G.
Pendrith (1850), (acting), to the Samson; and Robert
Creighton (1850), (acting), to the Victory flag ship at
Portsmouth.

It may be here mentioned, for the satisfaction of the
West Indian interest and those who have friends in that
quarter of the world, that the above appointments of
Assistant-Surgeon James Campbell to the Imaum, and
severar.Surgeons and Assistant Surgeons we have re-
c,ntly announced as baing appointed to be borne on the
books of that vessel, have been znacli for the purpose of
their serving at Jamaica during the prevalence of the
cholera there. We deem it but justice to the Admiralty,
who have responded to the appe,il to them for aid, to
npike this cxplination, as thousands have no idea that
the appointments to the linauni are for the purpose we
have stated.

The Prince 32 Alice, Dover mail steatn-packet, came

GERMAN Y.

The German Journal of Frankfort, under date of
Cassel, 23d, contradicts the report of the Bavarian
troops having quitted that place. Toe same journal
states that the Count DE LEININGEN has, in the name
of the Germanic Confederation, prohibited the pub-
lication of the journals at Cassel, and renewed all
the measures which had been originally adopted by
General HAYNAU.
The Civic Guard of Cassel was disarmed on the 23d,
The Superior Tribunal of Appeal have refused to
make the declaration required of them, as it does
not belong to the judges to decide on questions of
law in a general manner. The Supreme Tribunal
have made a similar declaration. Count Ds LINANGM
has granted to the two tribunals a further time for
consideration till an answer is returned from Wil-
helmsbad.
A letter from Berlin of the 231 states, that the
Prussian Government has received notifications of
assent from almost all the states of the Zollverein to
the prolongation of the treaty of September. M.
DeIaNBERG, Chargé d'Affaires of Electoral Hesse at
Berlin, had returned to that Court, so that diplomatic
relations between the two Governments may be re-
garded as resumed.
The Austrian troops- are preparing to evacuate the
Bavarian territory.
Orders have been given for the reduction of the
army of Saxony.
The delegates to the Dresden Conferences had a
meeting on the 24th ; the deliberations were conducted
in secret.
The Wiener Zeitung, of the 22d, says that the
Austrian Minister of Finance will not consent to a
foreign loan until after the reduction of the army,
and also reduction of the expenditure. The Minister,
Vox Baucn, proposes a loan combined with the re-or-
ganization of the bank. It is said there is to be some
alteration in the conscription in the Lombardo-Vene-
tian kingdom; 14,000 recruits are to be levied—viz.,
7,396 in Lombardy and 6,404 in Venice. The con-
scription was to commence on the 20th December,
and terminate on the 17th January.

O'DONOGIIIIE ON HIS WHITE HORSE.

He gallops across the Lake, says much that is well worth hearing,
puts on the habit of a Beggar, and, " 0 Charming May," what a
time for making a little love; so think the fair Kathleen and her

Lover Dermot Astore, but instead of making a little, they make a
great deal. She relieves the Beggars wants, and then wants to
have a little more love. It has long since been an established fact,
that even Cupid, who can change any man into a goose, sometimes
has his own " goose eooked," and so it proves now, for Lord Bull-
frog's Cookey, discovering the Lovers, flares up, a " broil" ensues,
and all are thrown into a perfect " stew." At this critical moment,

Lord Bullfrog, with his jovial companions, return from the chase.
Lady Bullfrog (to see her is to love her), with her interesting little
family, comes to meet him. She flies into her husband's arms—and

thus (as many married ladies 'have done before) stands "in arms
against her husband." Lord Bullfrog is enraged with the Lovers,
so to punish Dermot, who is in his debt, he seizes his only friend, his
Horse, by way of payment, but gets " more kicks than ha'pence."
O'Donoghue, as the medicant, aids the Lovers, and Dermot's Hone
is restored. Lord Bullfrog, being determined to get rid of his plague
of a daughter, pu's her up as " a Prize," which makes her look very
" blank," as he exclaims—
Whoe'er to-morrow brings the fairest steed,
The one that leaps the best, has greatest speed;
Shall have fair Kathleen—yes, she and all her tin,
So try your lucks, and let the best Horse

All disperse-, leaving Dermot alone with his Horse, by whose aid,
he feels certain to win his heart's dearest hope. But, alas I " the
course of trua love never did run smooth." Whiskey comes In the
way, and whisks away his senses—then his money—and, at last, his
Horse; Whiskey mounts the Horse, and, setting up a horse laugh,
gallops off with it. Dermot in despair determines to try the
"Water Cure," by drowning: himself, but: is prevented by O'Dono-
ghue, who promises to lend him another horse for the morrow's race,
and at on:e takes to the bottom of the Lake.

THE S-UN,

shortened, and their families deprived cf their sup-
port, by their indulgence ; but we are told that there
are two or three others considered in imminent dan-
whilst others are suffering severely.
An inquest was held yesterday afternoon on the
body of the man named Morris, before Mr. Churton,
coroner, at the Dock Cottages. The evidence chiefly
related to the unfortunate man having been seen
drinking a portion of the rum, and found dead in the
field. Some of the jury suspected that the man
might have lost his life by being drowned whilst in
a state of drunkenness, and the following verdict
was returned—" Found dead in a field in Bidston."
The deceased was twenty- five years of age,
was a strong, powerful man, and has left a widow and
child to bewail his premature and unfortunate end.
An inquest will be held on the body of Farrall to-
day. He has also, we are told, left a widow and
family to mourn his loss.
It is said that portions of the wreck of the Provi-
dence, in the shape of spirits, have found their way

FRANCE.

The Journal de I' Ouest publishes the following as
the " Manifesto of the Military Opposition :"
" IF any member of the majority," it says, " pro•
posed the prolongation of the powers of Louis Napo-
leon Bonaparte, not only will he (General Cavaignac)
oppose that proposition, but he will declare that if, in
spite of its unconstitutionality, it be adopted by the
Assembly, he will make an appeal to the patriotism of
all Frenchmen, to whom the National Assembly con-
fined the guardianship of the constitution of the 4th
of November, and will place himself at the head of all
citizens who would rise to defend it. The General
has expressed himself on this point in such
a manner as to leave no doubt as to his
determination ; and we have no fear of de-
ceiving ourselves when we add that he is com-
pletely d'accord with General Lamoriciere on this
head. General Bedeau has not yet declared himself
so formally as his colleagues; but, judging from his
previous conduct, we have no hesitation in saying
that in such an emergency he would make common
cause with them to defend the Constitution if it were
attacked unconstitutionally, and especially to oppose
the proposition relative to a prolongation of powers,
if a proposition of the kind should find supporters
amongst the representatives of the country. We may
be assured, therefore, that at all events General
Cavaignac will make an important campaign during
the coming session. He feels all the necessity of it
not so much for his own personal interest, as for the
interest of the Republic ; for the time has at length
come to defend it in a decided manner against the
men who are at work so openly to overthrow it."

The wes'ern inartello tower, for the protection of the
dockyard, has been completed; with its heavy artil-

now several years since the fortifications of the haven

authorities, and at various times officers of high
standing have surveyed and reported on the subject,
