Record Of The Week. Home And Colonial. A...
false political news in that journal , he was examined on Thursday before the proper court . The alleged false news in question , it will be remembered , was-to the effect that Baron Hubner . had told M . de lhouvenel that the Emperor of Austria would interfere'in Italy , and asked what action the French Emperor would take thereon ; and then the iournal proceeded to lay before the public the line ' of policy , that Austria had resolved to pursue . This " news " was contradicted by the J ? rencU iii question
Gpvenmicnt organ the Momteur , and the proceedings were instituted . . ' . ,. .-, , On the continent , everybody , that is , every one of the four individuals who constitute the representatives of the four families , who iaiicy tney constitute the whole civilised world of Austria , Russin , Prussia , andshall we say it of the man who is , what the others call a parvenu , and whose title is plebgian election—France , is wanting to know what everybody is going to do under every possible combination ot circumstances , Austria , for instance , as appears by Count Rechborgs communications to the corps diplomatique , lias been inquiring at Warsaw and Prussia if Sardinia
what " attitude would be assumed" by Russia attacked Austria ; and what " position would betaken by lrussia if another "just and necessary " war broke out , and began to attect the German Confederation , which latter question would seem to imply that the members of this Confederation may possibly be disposed not to trouble their heads about anything in . the shape of war that does not immediately aft ' ect their own particular territories . What the answers , however , to all this inquisitiveness were , or whether it elicited any answer at all , does not yet appear . The inquisitive power m question , however , has promised in due season to send a circular to its ministers abroad , containing a full , true , and particular account , of the result of
the Warsaw meeting . From Switzerland we learned early in the week , by advices dated from Berne , that the party of which Stampfli is the head , was gaming the ascendency in the election of deputies . M . Stamp fli has signalised himself by his energetic opposition to the French Emperor ' s policy . He it was who insisted upon the occupation of Faucigny and Chablais when hostilities commenced between Austria and France ; and ho it was who was so strenuous an opponent of the annexation of Savoy , even to the extent of armed interference . His popularity and power are , therefore , significant . At the opening of the present wsek , Prince Metternich and Baron Hubner . had an interview with the Emperor of the French , which , in some quarters has been regarded with suspicion , as if mischief were being plotted against the-liberal cause in Italy . not
We find that those uncomfortable things " warnings , " are experienced solely by the French press , under a potentate who rules as well by the " popular will" as by the grace of !& od . If we " go on to Turkey , " we find that these gentle admonitions to the press are perfectly well-known there . Thus , the Levant Herald has been made acquainted with ( not " these sort , " but ) tins sort of griefs , having recently received no less than three several warnings on account of its plain speaking . But they do not order these things better in Trance . " As it is only an independent outspoken journal that could receive a warning , we consider that the Levant JZerald has received the highest compliment in the power of the Government to pay . Morocco , it appears , has " asked for time for payment of costs , " the lawyers say , in the matter of the war indemnity to Spain . Rios Rosas , we learned early in the week , was about to set out for Rome on a mission , but Marshal O'Donnel stated that the position of Spain would be one of strict neutrality as regards Italian affairs .
The Taku or Poiho forts were captured on the 21 at of August . The Allies lost 40 . 0 killed and wounded . The British and French Ambassadors had advanced to Tien-tsin , on the 26 th of August , and were to proceed to Pekin , under an escort of cavalry . The Austrian policy disclosed in a communication from Prince Motternieh to M . Thouvenel , the substance of which reached us « s the week opened is as follows : —1 . The interior policy of every State being intimately conneoted with its exterior polioy , Austria will fulfil with sincerity the reforms announced by the " diplorn " of the 20 th October . 2 . Notwithstanding the complications in Italy , Austria will maintain her line' of defensive policy . The present armaments and concentration of troops in Venetia have no other object than that of repelling any attack . 3 . Austria ' will not abandon the system of nonintervention . 4 . Austria considers that the assembling of a Oongreas would not bring about a practical solution of tho Italian question , unless tho Great Powers agree beforehand on a common programme , of whioh , however , there ie little likelihood .
ENTERTAINMENTS . Royal English ; Opera . —On Monday tho Rose of Castillo waa performed for tho first * time this soason . This opera hna become peculiarly associated with the " Pyne and Harrison" dynusty ; those eminent artis tes , to whom the publio is indebted for tho establishment of a National English Opern , have emphatically made the leading parts in it " their own , " in every sonse of tho phrase . Thoir admirable representations of the heroine and hero of the picoo rospootivoly , are too woll known to need particular description ; suffice it to say , that they have oxaollod thomsolves in theae favourite lyric personations . The cast of tho opera ( which was highly efficient ) was as follows : Manuol , Mr . W . Harrison , Pon Podro ( first time ) , Mr . Charles Dunrnd ; Don Sallust , Mr . A . St . Albyn ; Don JTlorio ( first timo )
, Mr . H . Corn | Pftblo , Mr . Wallworth 5 Ohambovlain , Mr . Friend ; Jaoquea , Mr . Chapman ; Bgatrioe , MissHuddart ( hor first apponrnnoo ) , Donna Oarmon , Misb Thirlwall ; and Elvira , Miss Louisa Pyne . Miss Huddart'u qualifications as a vocal artiste of very considerable talent and power are by this timo woll known to tho publio . Mr . Lodor ' s favourite opera of Tha Niy 7 U Dancers will , wo understand , be speedily produced at this thoatre . The Mose of Castillo is tho only novelty wo have to announce tin ' s wook . Tha Crown Diamonds , Lurline , and JDinorah ( in which Mfss Pyno is always encored in her exquisite " Shadow eong " ) , being still played with tho highest euoooss . In the last two , which nil ' ord such scope for scenic ou ' eots , tho unrivalled resources of this houeo arc witnessed to tho greatest ndvantugo . The moonlight eoen . ery , and the toeing of tho billows in tho etwra
must be seen to be properly appreciated or even l ( realised in conception , " as tho metaphysicians say . While Meyerbeer's wondrous instrumentation , in the last-mentioned work . receives its most perfect development from the unequalled band over which Mr . Mellon presides ¦ with so much ability . Her Majesty ' s Theatre . —The Jfurjtienofs , which has been produced here , as announced ¦ in . our last , lias filled the house to an extent that emulates the llobin Hood audiences . The cast of the opera was as follows : —Eaoul di Nangis , Sig . Giuglhri ; Do Cosse , Sig . Danieli ; Tavannes , Sig . Mercurial !; II Conte di San Bris , Sig . Gassier ; II Coute di Nevers , Sig . Briani ; 3 ) e Retz , Sig . Castelli ; Mareello , Sig . Yialetti ; Margarita di Valois , Mdlle . Yaneri ; Urbano , Mdlle . Lemaire ; Ire Dame d'Onore , Mdlle . JJorsi ; 2 ne Dame d'Onore , Mdlle . Martinet ! i . ; Valentina , Mdlle . Titicns . All that we said of the superlatively admirable delineation of Lucrezia Borgia by Mdlle . Titicns in our last number may justly be said mutatis mutandis , and even with augmented
commendation of her Yalentina . To go through-the performance point by point would be to enumerate every scene in which she appears , and everv one of the finished pieces of vocalization she utters , for in singing and acting both she showed herself as usual without a superior , we might oven say without a rival , on the lyric stage . The applause , as may be supposed , was of the wgrnioat description throughout ; round followed round as point after point was made with prodigious effect by this illustrious cantatrice , until ( having already been recalled after the 2 nd act ) at the conclusion of the third the enthusiasm of the audience rose to' a ¦ perfect furor , which eventuated in a double recall , and when she had retired after her second consecutive , and third numerical appearance before -the curtain , it was some timo before tho storm of plaudits became hushed . Sig . Giuglini deservedly shared the triumph of the groat 2 r ' > iia dorina , as' his admirable singing justly entitled him to do . Indeed all the parts were most effectively filled , particularly the leading ones , as will have been seen by the cast give n above .
Dhuky Lane . i—That Irish bull of tho human species and the feminine gender , a JBuchelors Wife , though somewhat scarcer ,, we should opine , than a torn cat of throe colours , has turned up at last at this theatre . Verily Mr , E . T . Smith deals in prodigies . She seems however a very amiable and attractive sort of person . The- " wife " is a widow however wives w c first make her acquaintance , one Mrs . Honeydew ( Mrs . C . Mathews ) , ¦ contemporary with whom are a new married couple , Mr . and Mrs . Felix May wood ( Mr . Roxby and Miss Arden ) , of which dual unit it may be said that not only ia the lady the superior moiety , but that the grey mare is the better hor ? c . A friend of theirs , Mr . Rigby ( Mr . Charles Matthews ) is a decided ' enemy to petticoat government , and being a lawyer , " advises " his client Maywood , to assert his marital rights ; in the course of which " intervention" in foreign affairs , he gets caught in the . matrimonial trap by tho
"fascinating widow , " Mrs . Honeydew , and , in double quick time , the self-assert ing bachelor is converted into a niis ; . blo henpecked specimen of the married unfeathered biped . After driving her husband half out of his wits , and half into the Gazette , by her extravagancies , she reveals to him tho fact that she has only squandered part of her own fortune , of which ho liad been profoundly ignorant , though how an astute legal-minded gentleman came to marry without an inquiry into these matters , and without a s- 'ttlement , docs not appear , but we suppose it must be ranked amoii £ tho incident s which so frequently occur in " life on the stage . " \ Vhat the moral is we don ' t know , ' unless it bo identical with Mr . Punch ' s advice " to thoso about to marry—don't ; " what tho effect of tho piece is , however , is eusily told , namely , an unequivocal success , and the most favourable reception by tho audience , It was well put on . tho stage , and admirably acted throughout . Another now piece , new , at least , at this ^ houae , and in its present form , has been produced . ' * You ' re another ! " in tho title in which it rejoices . Tho pri . inipal character is one Moddlor , which Mr .
