The Avenir de Nice of the Ist inst. quotes a letter
from Turin, announcing that the POPE has excommu-
nicned Piedmont.

A letter from Genoa of the 25th ult., states that,
on the previous morning, as an Austrian steamer was
conveying the EMPRESS-MOTHER, grandmother of
the present Emperor of AUSTRIA, the Archduchess
SOPHIA, and other distinguished persons from Pola
to Trieste, it ran down and sank the commercial
steamer Amelia. No one perished. There was a
thick fog at the time. The owners of the Amelia
were recompensed for the loss sustained.
Our readers will recollect that at the time of his
abdication, King CHARLES ALBERT assumed the name
of Count of BARGE. The Municipality of Barge, de-
sirous of perpetuating the memory of this fact, bas
decreed the erection of a marble monument to the late
ICING in the principal church of the town. The well
known sculptor ANGELO BRUNERI, is entrusted with
the execution of this monument.

The Milan Gazette of the 31st ult. contains a notice,
informing the public that a quantity of Treasury
bills, representing a sum of 2,500,000 Austrian livres
(about 3,000,000 francs) is to be publicly burnt in
the first days of November.
The Armonia of Turin states that Monsignor
PEA NZONI has written to the POPE to express his sa-
tisfaction at the cordial reception he has experienced
in France from the clergy, the civil and military au-
thorities, and the whole population.
The Parma Gazette of the 30th ult. contains a de-
cree ordering a new levy of 1,000 men, 200 of whom
are b belong to the reserve. The others are to be
under arms by the 28th of February next.

MISS KELLY'S THEATRE,
NEW ENGLISH OPERA - HOUSE.
Miss Kelly's Theatre, in Dean-street, Soho, was
opened last night by an operatic corps, as an English
opera house. This theatre is the very smallest in
London, and is, therefore, the one of all others least
adapted to musical purposes. The members of the
corps are—save and except Mrs. Alexander Newton
and Mr. Bridges Frodsham, whose pleasing singing
in the concert-room is always heard with delight, but
who, neither of them, had ever before last night at-
tempted a public dramatic performance—unknown
to fame; indeed, it was everybody's first ap-
pearance on any stage, and, as might be ex-
pected, nobody had the remotest idea of acting,
and the whole affair went off like an amateur
performance. Among the new singers we would
notice Miss Low and Mr. Durand, as exhi-
biting much promise; they may, by study and ap-
plication, attain hereafter a respectable rank in
the musical profession. The opera was a grand opera,
entitled The Last Crusade, the composition of Alex-
ander Mitchell, the blind composer, and which had
been produced with success at the Royal Theatre
Brunswick. It would not be fair to Mr. Mitchell to
form a judgment as to the merits of his composition
from the manner in which it was performed last night,
but it is evident that he possesses a thorough knowledge
of musical science. Some of the melodies Were very
pleasing, and albeit much of the music is made up of
reminiscences, yet we consider that Mr. Mitchell has
some of the " right stuff" about him, and may here-
after become a great dramatic composer. We sin-
cerely hope that in his next attempt he will secure
the co-operation of a better librettist. Mr. Mitchell
was called on at the conclusion of the opera. There
was a strong muster of the personal friends of the per-
formers, and in many instances the zeal of the more
injudicious of these friends outran their discretion,
for they insisted on encoring everybody in every-
thing.

THE JEWEL AND PLATE ROBBERY IN
THE STRAND.—(THIS DAY.)
The parties implicated in this serious robbery were
brought up at Bow-street this afternoon for re-exami-
nation, and, as at the former hearing, the court was very
much crowded. The names of the persons charged are
Daniel John Shaw, James Badcock, John Gardner,
Mary Ann Cheruneau, George Buncher, Mary Ann
Buncher, Charles Clinton (a lad), and Charles Kelly.
Mr. Gilham attended on behalf of Kelly, who had been
out on bail; Mr. Vontner for the woman Cheruneau,
Gardner, and the Bunchers; and Mr. Humfreys for the
prosecutors.
The first witness called to-day was a policeman named
John Bright, stationed in Southwark. He stated that
on the evening of the 21st of October, the night of the
robbery, about seven o'clock, he was in the Borough-
road, when he observed the prisoners Shaw and Gardner
together. Be watched them into the house occupied
by the prisoner Buncher, and after remaining there for a
few minutes they came out again accompanied by
Buncher and another, and walked away in the direction
of Blackfriars-road. Gardner had been once before the
magistrate at the Southwark Police-court, on suspicion
of having bean concerned in a robbery.
Gardner—You are mistaken; I never was.
Shaw said be did not wish to ask the witness any
questions, but he had plenty of witnesses to prove that
he was nowhere near the Borough on] the night in
question.
Police-constable Jones, 250 M, stated that he knew
the prisoner Gardner well, as also the woman Cheruneau,
who passed as Gardner's wife in the neighbourhood of
the Blackfriars road. They were suspected characters,
and the police had long had their eyes upon them.
Mary Willet, a young woman residing in Temple-
street, St. George's•road, in the Borough, also stated
that she knew the wo.nan by the name of Gardner.
Mr. Humfreys said this was all the evidence he pro•
posed to offer to-day, as the property had not yet been
traced, and be must, therefore, ask for another remand.
Mr. Wontner again insisted that there was nothing in
the evidence to implicate the woman Buncher, and he
applied to have her liberated on bail.
Mr. HENRY reminded the Learned Gentleman that
she was found attempting to destroy a list of jewellery,
watches, and other valuables which were not likely to
belong to a woman in her station of life, and until she
could explain away that matter he must have her detained.
Mr. Wontner contended that the list might very pos-
sibly apply to other property than that stolen in the
case; and as proof of that the list contained articles
which Mr. Clapham, the prosecutor, had missed or lost.

The prisoners, with the exception of Kelly, were then

CABINET COUNCIL.—(THIS DAY.)—A Cabinet
Council, for which summonses had been issued on
Saturday, was held this afternoon, at two o'clock, at
the Foreign-office, Downing•street. The Ministers
present were Lord John Russell, the Marquis of
Lansdowne (who arrived in town this morning from
Bowood), Eirl Grey, Viscount Palmerston, Sir G.
Grey, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Lord
Chancellor, the Earl of Carlisle, Sir Francis T.
Baring, Sir John C. Hobhouse, and the Marquis of
Clanricarde. The Ministers have accepted the invi-
tation of the Lord Mayor elect ( Musgrove) to dine
at Guildhall on Saturday next (Lord Mayor's day).

The Lord Mayor entertained last evening at the
Mansion-house the gentlemen of the committee of General
Purposes, including several Aldermen. Covers were laid for
fifty.

PREPARATIONS IN NEW YORR.—An American
correspondent writes :—" As the time for the great Exhibi-
tion of 1851 in London draws nigh, preparations are on foot
to give it American support. Steamers will be shortly ad-
vertised to carry passengers from the United States and back
at half the usual charges, and a large number of persons
will take advantage of the occasion to visit your country for
a few weeks. I should not be surprised if you had an inva-
sion of Yankees, armed and accoutred at all points with in-
ventions and models."

ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning, be-
ween six and seven o'clock, considerable alarm was occa-
sioned at Waterloo-bridge, in consequence of a young man,
having the appearance of a labourer, attempting self-destruc-
tion by precipitating himself from the parapet of the bridge
on the Strand side. It appears that at the above-mentioned
time one of the labourers in the employ of the Waterloo-
bridge Cempany, on going down the steps leading to the
pier, found the body of a man lying upon the bottom step,
completely insensible, and in a most mutilated condition.
He instantly raised au alarm, and the unfortunate man was
removed without delay to the Charing. cross Hospital. He
was examined by Dr. Golding, the house physician, and Mr.
Hancock, the surgeon, and it was discovered that both his
legs were fractured in several places, his skull was also frac-
tured, and he had received other injuries of a most serious
description. The usual remedies were adopted in such cases,
and the unfortunate man afterwards rallied sufficiently to de-
scribe where he experienced the most pain. On being ques-
tioned how he met with the injuries he refused to inform
them, and remained perfectly silent. He said his name was
Hennessey, but refused to give his address or tell where his
friends resided. He was dressed as a plasterer, and appeared
to be about 20 years of age. On being searched, a trowel
was found in his pocket, the point of which had entered the
hip joint. A duplicate was also found, which only referred to
a trowel which had been pledged. The surgeon gave very
little hopes of his recovery, and from the extent of the in-
juries he had received Hennessey is not expected to survive
the day. The unfortunate man must have thrown himself
from the parapet joining the steps leading to the pier, and
instead of falling into the water, as he anticipated, he fell
upon the steps. His hat was found upon the steps near him.
CAMBRIDGE HOUSE.—The effects of her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Cambridge have been removed from
this residence to Kew Cottage, where the Duchess and the
Princess Mary are now staying, and where it is understood
the Duchess intends permanently to reside. Cambridge
House, it is understood, will be either given up to the Mar-
quis Chelmondeley or the ground landlord, Sir Richard
Sutton.
Captain Warner, the inventor of the "Long Range,"
was yesterday brought up before Mr. Commissioner Evans,
at the Bankruptcy Court, Basinghall-street, and applied for
his discharge from Whitecross-street Prison, but was re-
manded back to custody until he shall give security in the
sum of 500/. that he will not leave the country until the pro-
ceedings in the Court shall be completed.

Club have voted the sum of 501, to the funds of the Exhi-
bition, and have decided on exhibiting some of their models,
