The Piedmontese Government has severely repri-
manded its chargé d'Affaires at Rome for not having
at once called upon Cardinal ANTONELLI to withdraw
the note which he had addressed to the Piedmontese
Government in terms not in accordance with diplo-
matic etiquette or with national dignity, and to which
note the Piedmontese 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 Majesty and Prince Al-
bert would be present at the formal opening, in confir-
mation of which he read a letter he had received from
the Earl of Carlisle, putting the question beyond all
doubt:—

"My dear Liu an,—lf you have not already been ap-
prised, I am now able to acquaint you that the Queen
and Prince Alb:rt will open the Berwick Railway on
the 29th of August. They will set off from Castle
Howard that morning, and will sleep in Edinburgh. I
shall rely upon your making all the railway arrange-
ments as conveniently as possible.

Yours, very truly,

"July 29, 1850."

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

This how e last night was more than usually crowded,
The Pets of the Ballet appearing to be the great source of
attraction. The dancing of Mdl'a. Louise and Mdllellic-
sina Wright aas 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 went off heavier than usual, and,
as we observed before, is wholly utifitted for the English
stage. The afterpiecs. of the Two Paws of Frederick
the Great appeared to give univeral satisfaction, if one
may judge from the Continued laughter 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 betters She rattled through the part of
the merry-hearted Theodore with a joyous mirthfulness
that was quite bewitchisg. Well did she deserve the ap-
pimp e she received. The acting of Miss Florence Grey,
when she found the. ducats, and practises the pious fraud
of telling a falsehood to the King, to screen Augustus,
was a masterpiece of actinz. 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.

HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS.
THE BLACK MALIBRAN.

The second SpanisfaperrormanceWDonna Maria
Loretto Martinez, the Black Malibran, took place at
these rooms last evening, and, as on the former occasion,
she was assisted by the Alessrs. Ciebra, whose per-
formancer are the very perfection of guitar pia) ing.
The Black Malibrau W 33 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 performaoccs and their great originality.:

JURISDICTION OF THE RIVER AND
LANDING PLACES.
(PALM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The notice you so promptly took of the Thames
Ferry, respecting the landing-place 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, and a deputation yesterday were as-
sured that the proper officer to the Admiralty should be
directed to look into 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
wanton complainants. The Members for Southwark
may porhaps be spoken to on the subject, particu-
larly Mr. Alderman Humphery, with regard to his
view of the matter, as ho is a member of the Bridge
House Committee.

THE BRIDGE HOUSE COMMITTEE V.
THE POOR WATERMEN.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—As your columns are always open to advocate
justice and expose oppression, will you permit me to
inquire, 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 are justly entitled to, but the poor
waterman of the means of subsistence, merely to satisfy
the caprice of a tenant, a Mr. Penning, occupyirg an
adjoining wharf. The fact 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 for the accommodation of pas-
sengers to and from the various railways on that side
the water, and to obviate the danger unavoidablyin-
curred by passengers crossing the road, obtained leave
of the Navigation Committee to carry a brow, or thorough-
fare, under 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. Penning, the tenant
of the adjoining wharf, became annoyed by this pier
(though quite detached from his wharf), and petitioned
his landlords, the Bridge House Committer., who have in
consequence peremptorily ordered its immediate removal.
This conduct appears su exceedingly arbitrary and un-
justifiable, at variance with all reason, and 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 flagrant oppression on the part of the
Bridge House Committee lies. Probably some of your
readers will inform me.

VISIT Or THE NEPAULESE TO BIRMINGHAM.
These distinguished foreigners arrived at Birmingham on
Thursday evening. They took up their residence with Mr.
G. R. Collis, to whom they had been introduced by the
Turkish :Ambassador, the gentlemen who composed their
suite staying at the Royal Hotel. Yesterday morning they
visited some of the principal manufactories; amongst these
were, Mr. Harris's glass-house, the glass manufactory of the
Messrs. Osler, Mr. Winfield's lamp and brass bedstead manu-
factory, Mr. Sargant's gun manufactory, the plate glass-
works at ,Smithwick, and Mr. G. R. Collis's works. At
several of these establishments they made large purchases.
At Mr. Collins's, in addition to a considerable quantity of
plate (including a church communion service), orders were
given for a number of castings, including the Queen, Prince
Albert, the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Anglesea,
Lord Ellenborough, Lord Dalhousie, Lord Hardinge, and
Lord Gough; the last-named Noble Lord having visited
these works on Thursday. In the middle of the day the
Prince visited the Music Hall, expressing himself much de-
lighted with the magnificent organ. In the evening his
Highness and suite visited the theatre, and this morning
(Saturday) they will visit some other of the manufactories,
and, it is expected, the principal works in the dsstrict. At
present the movements of the Prince are uncertain; the
existing arrangements are a run from Birmingham to the
Menai-bridge, and thence return immediately to town.

ing us to state that Mr. Chapman left his service some
weeks since.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO HoLYßooD.—The fur-
niture for Holyrood has been
principally supplied from Lon-
don. Her Majesty's bed-room is, we understand, adorned in
a simple though elegant style, becoming the tastes of a Queen
so domestic in her habits. The arrangements are new nearly
completed at Holvrood. Though the precise period of the
royal visit is not yet fixed, we have the best reason to be-
lieve that it will take place before the 20th of August.—
