A Rcana At tho Opera.

Signor Torrispi, the leader of the orches-
ira, at the opera, in consequence of some
private grievance, on Thursday night, at Sig.
Brignoli's benefit, left the orchestra in the
middle of the performance, and the audience
otter being kept waiting for long while,
were relieved of their suspense by the leader
of the Germania Orchestra taking the lead
er's place, and finishing the performance
On Saturday night the Germania leader
again oficiated, and Torriani walked about
amoog the audience. evidently satisfied with
his own conduct. Not 60 the gentlemen as.
sembIed at the opera. They seemed disposed
to show some marks of their indignation at
bis treatment of the audience, and between
the acts, some of them in the lobby, near
Torriani, began to hiss. He took of bis hat
and politely asked whether the Kisses were
on account of bis leaving the orchestra, and
il they desired an explanation. Some said
..yes;h others cried no." and turn him out"
A disposition to hustle him out being mani
tested, police oticer accompanied him to
the door, and be left the house amid gene
raj proan and Kisses. When the elected lead
er got into the street, he turned and seemed
desirous of speaking; but as the crowd press
ed round, be backed of without the desired
explanation. The only words be appeared
to deliver with unction were, cab. this is the
way you treat foreigusrs."-N T. Letter.

A Plea ofGniity.

A remarkable case Of pleading guilty to
capital charge for murder recently occurred
at Atlanta, Georgia. A man by the name
Of kadford Crockett, suspected of the murder
of Samuel B. Landrum near Atlanta, abort
two weeks ago. had been pursued by police
officers of the city of Tsllsdega, 10 that State,
and arrested. On Friday of last week true
bill was found against him for murder, upon
which he wac Immediately arraigned. The
exchange from which we gather the facts
says that, "being asked by the Solicitor-Gen-
eral are voc guilty or not guilty. be an
swered calmly aod unreservedly, Il am guilty,
and requested that the court would della y
passing sentence upon him for few days,
as he wished to bave his father present on
that solemn occasion. The Judge was much
affected, and asked the prisoners counsel if

quences attending the confession; and being
Informed that the prisoner was i'm movable in
bis resolution, hereadily and feeingly yielded
to the request. The prisoners counsel hav-
ing intimated that be desired to make state

briefly detailed the circumstances attending
the murder-tbe obiec. Of which was plumber
fully duplicating John Cobb, jr., aud Cab
rlel Jones in it's commission. He also asked
that the Court would give him the longest
time possible 10 which to prepare to meet bis
God. The Court and many Of the audience
were moved to tears at this touching appeal.
After few words of admonition the prison

IngeniousIy stolen,

The Boston Post relates the story, and we
suppose that it is true:
Our readers will recolect' that few years
ago Mr.. Peter Remington was robbed on the
steamer Perry OF q satchel containing bills
belonging to the,Newport banks, amounting
to $4,000. The money was never recovered
Therefore much interest is excited by the
appearance Of the following paragraph in q
biographical sketch of Mike Phillips, an
English thief, in the Police Gazette Of last
Saturday:
The greatest robbery in which Mike was
concerned, was the robbery of the bank por-
ter, between Newport and Providence, Rhode
Island. Nike and his associates ascertained
that on a certain day the bank porter would
convey on immense amount of money from
Newport to Providence. The thieves provi-
ded themselves with satchel similar to the
porter's, and on the way to Providence, whiie
one of the gang engaged his attention, Mike
changed the satcbels. When opened, it con
tanned, to their delight, $4,000. As soon
as fair division of the spolls had been
made, the mob separated, and. while one
went west and another south, Nike took the
safest plan to prevent arrest, by gong to
London With his share OF the plunder"

York, deslrous to be rid of his wife, adopted
singular aud temporarily successful msneu-
vre to obtain divorce. His wife was about
to visit her mother 10 Sacramento, Califor.
nia, with, so far as appears, her husbands
full consent. AS she was about to start he
placed or caused to be placed 10 her bands
tin box, covered with paper and sealed, pur-
porting to be present for her mother and
note for herself When at sea the wife opened
the box aud ascertaned its contents to be

complaint filed 10 Saratoga county, in twenty
days. % arriving at Aspinwsll she made
an effort to return, but " as unsuccessful and
went on to California, residing there until
January, 1857. During her absence Der bus
band bad obtained a decree OF divorce. On
returning she took measures to have this re-
versed. The husband made proposition TO
her that if she would raise So 900 she should
have the custody OF her child; and another,
that il she would give him 81 400 be would
procure and destroy the record Of divorce
Neithe err was accepted, and suit was brought

to leave the State was a practical denial Of the
legal rights Of The defendant, who was emit
tied to make defepce to the complaint, and
that in this cunningly devised stratsgem the
husband was guilty Of most deliberate false

guilty of moral If not legal subornstion OF

proceedings under which 1t was obtained,

In the British House Of Commons. Mr..

the War at :e63, 100000, but as 100000
of Exchequer bills were falling due, aod

nue.. Taking into account the reduction IN
the income tax, which the Government had
no intention to interfere with, and the TACT

binary expenditures, Mr.. Disrseli showed
that there was no diminution in the Iesour-
COS Of the country, and that but for the

Though there are many potent reasons
existing Why the Powers of Europe should
be desirous Of continuing general peace, 1t
is very evident that the aspect OF affairs 10
Europe forbodes trouble. 1t would seem
that the relations of England and France
cannot remain long undisturbed; and should
a favorable opportunity occur, there can
hardly be doubt that formidable attempts
at revolution will be made in France, and
Spain. and Italy. The alliance" between
Englsnd and France. it is manifest, has but
slender ties 10 hold it together; for public
sentiment in the one country detests the des-
p otism of the other and the latter looks
with distrust upon the British government.
Our policy is now, therefore, moro than ever
the good old Wing policy, of peace with all
nations, entangling alliances with none.
