M. PINELLr, Envoy of the Court of Sardinia, has
been admitted to a private audience by Cardinal Arc-
TONELLI and by his HOLINESS. Nothing has tran-
spired as to the result of these conversations; but it
is difficult to foresee an early solution to the deplo-
rable collision, so long as the Cabinet of Turin shall
not make concessions on its starting poin t. The
Court of Rome is offended, both by the nature of the
Piedmontese reforms, and the manner in which they
have been effected. It is too prudent not to resign
itself to a concordat which would regularise such of
those innovations which seem to have become a
necessity. But so long as an attempt shall be made
to impose the concordat as an approbation of all that
has been done, it is to be feared that it will accord
nothing. The Ist battalion of Chasseurs a Pied leaves
to-morrow for Africa. The sanitary state of the
army is little satisfactory. Summer fevers are ra-
ging, but the mortality is almost null.

The Nazionak of Florence, of the sth inst., states
that a modification of the Tuscan Cabinet was seri-
ously talked of. It was believed that M. CAPOQUADI,
:viilii,lCT of Grace and Justice, and M. MAzzr, Mi-
nister of Ecclesiastical Affairs, would be replaced ;
the tirst by M. NERVI, President of the Royal Court
of Florence, or by the Prefect, M. SAMMINIATELI
and the second by M. BANI President of the Court of
Cassation. Persons generally well informed believed
that the constitution would likewise undergo some im-
portant modifications. The Nazionale invites the
ufficial organs to contradict those rumours, should they
be unfounded.

GRAND NATIONAL CONCERTS AT HER MAJESTY'S
THEATRE.—The committee are making the most strenuous
eff,rts fur the completion of the several arrangements for the
opening of these musical reunions. The orchestra, under the
direction of Balfe, will embrace 98 executants, selected from
amongst the most distinguished instrumentalists in Europe.
The ballet-masic will be confided to M. Musard, and Herr
Molique is to be the leader of the band. An engagement
has been effected with the entire choral force of the King%
Chapel at Berlin, which comprises 87 male voices.
EXTENSION OF THE SOUTH \VALES RAILWAY.—
The directors of the South Wales Railway, in reply to a
memorial from the authorities and inhabitants of ilaver-
..

fordwest, sate that until the line between Chepstow and
Gloucester is completed they will be precluded from taking
any steps fora recommencement of the works westward of

Swansea, and that this will depend on the disposal of the
forfeited and unissued shares, which, if taken locally, would
expedite the object. The town council, on the receipt of
this commuuication, pas,ed resolutions to the effect that after
the promises made by the directors it was highly unsatisfac-
tory, as there was no understanding that shares were to be
taken, and urging on the company the simultaneous prosecu-
tion of the line westward of Swansea, and should it not be
done, pledging the co-operation of the inhabitants with the
view of restraining the company from an expenditure of their
capital contrary to the original promises and intentions of the
promoters of the line.

A brilliant talker is not always liked by those
whom he has most amused, for we are seldom pleased with
those who have in any way made us feel our inferiority.—
