ABELFHI THEATRE . Me . and Mrs . Wigan will make their reappearance at this theatre on Monday next . ' A short two act drama , written expressly for them by Mr . Tom Taylor , is in rehearsal , and will probably be produced on that evening . Mr . J . L . Toole , the young low comedian of the day , whose progress is observed with much interest by playwrights , critics , and managers , has found a good opportunity of disp laying his genuine humour and sound histrionic qualifications in a very smart farce , produced here on Monday night , entitled " Ici on parle Francais . " The unheroic hero of the ep isode ( for pidt there is none ) is one Mr . S prigg iiis ' , a proprietor of a marine lodging-house , who , to cultivate a foreign connexion , and bring grist to the mill , determines to ailure customers by exposing in his window the announcement that gives a name to the piece . It being slig htl y necessary , h o wever , to pick up some French , a phrase-book is procured , and of course , before poor Sprigg ins ' s acquaintance ¦ with that tongue has ripened into intimacy , he is bro u ght to farcical grief in the attempt to converse with foreign applicants for his rooms . Major Regulus Rattan ( Mr . Selby ) , a gentleman- who has reason to think that his wife and a French Lothario have . taken refuge at Spriggins ' s , played admirably as a jealous and indignant husband , and the trifle was altogether alively success .

, NATIONAL STANDARD THEATRE . 37 his theatre , winch is a standing proof that the essentials of human nature are the same every where , has just reproduced Webster ' s wonderful old tragedy of " The Duchess of Main ; " and notwithstanding its age , its stern ruggedriess and its epigrammatic closeness , it rouses the good people of Norton Folgate to all the emotions , which are alike common to the refined and unrefined , the learned ^ and the unlearned . Miss Glyn has made this part her own , . and ¦ whenever and wherever she appears , the beautiful , theiwomanly , the loving Duchess is sure to excite the deepest sympathy . It is a character drawn by a master hand , and it is delineated in an equally bold , free and marked manner . Miss Glyn has lost none of her force , nor none of her fascination , though ten years have nearly elapsed since she first reillumined the old and forgotten tragedy of mournful and penetrating old John Webster . It is a strange and wonderful mixture of horror and beauty , and the exceeding merit of the actress ' s delineation consists in the mode in which she blends the two . Neither Ristori nor Rachel could have surpassed her , and ¦ were she to seek a European fame as they did , we are sure France , Germany , and Italy would acknowledge that England can produce art , at least dramatic art , as , fine as their own . Every pains was taken to give effect to the chief character , by Mr . Johns tone , who played Bosolo , and Mr . Rayner , who . enacted _ the murderous brother , Duke Ferdinand . "

ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE . With a view to improve the financial condition of this charity , and to enable its founders to extend its benefit , a grand ball is announced to tnke place on Wednesday evening , the 18 th inst ., at St . James ' s Hall . No doubt the numerous patrons of the drama ¦ will come- forward liberally on the occasion . A f iance at the list of stewards will show that the fete ' ias been undertaken by men of influence , and , intimately allied to the profession . The idea of theball , we would add , originated with Mr . Sams , who has on several other occasions suggested and organised similar entertainments for charitable purposes .

Aw English pantomimic company , under the management of Mr . Greenwood , the well known co-lessee of Sftdlor ' s Wells , has been delighting the Berlin , public beyond measure . The Princess Frederick 1 William ( nje Princess Royal of England ) eiyoyed much— -we can imagine how much—the abandon of the scene so suggestive of old companions and home thoughts . The great German mind , bent itself to discover the inner meaning of pantomime , and we h ^ aa ? Jftat several available solutions were worked out but have not yet been published . The applause , waa not confined to the lower orders , but rang as Iwftily from the grand tier as from any part of the Jhouse . Neither was it lavished upon one performer ,
but was given to all in turn . . Not only the four principals , but even the lad whose graven images are nightly smashed ; the fishmonger whose giant salmon bonnets the policeman ; the little boy who trips up the pantaloon , and afterwards dances a sailor ' s hornpipe , were called before the curtain to be glorified with all their fellow supernumeraries . Surely the London greenrooms will ring with this astounding announcement , and lucky the tavern parlour that , on the return of the troupe , secures one of them as a " lion . "

TRANCE . CHANGE OF MINISTERS THE REGENCY—DEPARTURE OF THE E 3 IFEROR . The Moniteur announces that the Duke of Padua , senator , is appointed Minister of the Interior , in the place of M . Delaugle , who becomes Minister of Justice . Marshal Randon is appointed Minister of War , in the room of Marshal Vaillantj who is appointed Major-General of the Army of Italy . M . de Royer is named senator and vice-president pf the Senate . Marshal Vaillant and Count Walewski are named members of the Privy Council . Duke Pelissier has reached Paris . He will be succeeded in his ambassador ' s post in London by
M . de Persigny . The Duke ' s appointment to the command of the Rhine army having been made , by the German papers , a means to raise suspicions against the ulterior designs of France , the Mohilcur declares that as yet no Rhine army exists , and that the Duke ' s appointment means nothing more than that he is to take the command of the garrisons left in the French fortresses , in case Germany should attack France . A telegram foreshadows that this position of the Duke is further to be solemnl y recognised by his having the title p f Marshal-General , Commander of the Troops in France , conferred upon him .
performances , and otherwise acting as the arbiter elegantiarum , is $ 0 arrange for the transport to Milan of the actors and actresses of one of the Paris theatres , to perform for the Emperor , and , Berhsma a" parterre of Kings . " , i ^ maps , A riot , attended with loss of life , has occurred at Tarbes . The mayor had made a decree imposin g new duties . The farmers resisted the gendarm es ' who attempted to enforce payment of the tax , and drove them into their barracks . The troops afterwards made a sortie and fired ; a melee took place * and several people were killed and wounded . '
The Emperor has decided that no correspondent of a newspaper or journalist shall be permitted to follow the French army in Italy . Those profane and dangerous persons must remain at Turin , or at Genoa , or at home . A letter from Turin says : ^ - " However great may be my persuasion that Austria has been the barrier to all progress in Italy , and my hopes that Italians may now acquire their independence of that Power , it is impossible not to regard French intervention with distrust . No one in his senses can believe
that the Emperor is putting forth all the strength of France for a sentiment , or that he will not require a quid pro quo ; and already , in very susp icious quarters , I have heard discussed the probability of a king dom of Etruria for Prince Napoleon . The idea is started ; and with Prince Napoleon ' s fatherin-law in the north of Italy , and Murat in the expectation of some coup in that sense on Nap les , the Emperor will have proved his disinterested love of Italian independence , and vastly strengthened his power in the south of Europe and the Mediterranean . "
The Moniteur of Tuesday contained decrees to the following effect : —" The Emperor , hay ing the intention of placing himself at the head of the army of Ital y , has resolved upon conferring the title of Regent on the Empress . The Empress , says his Majesty , will exercise the functions of Regent during our absence , in conformity with our orders and instructions , which will be transcribed into the great book of the State . The Prinee Jerome , the Presidents of the great bodies of the State , the members of the Privy Council , and the Ministers , will take cognisance of these orders and instructions , and the Empress will not be able td depart from their tenour in fulfilling the duties of the Regency . The Empress will not be able to proclaim any other scnatus consultum than those now actually existing . The Empress will take the advice of the Prince Jerome on the resolutions and decrees which will be
submitted to her . " Another decree published by the Moniteur appoints M . de Thouvenel senator . On Tuesday the Emperor took his departure to join the army . The Empress accompanied him as far as Montereau . The Prince Napoleon goes on to Italy with the Emperor . The Rue do Rivoli , along which the Emperor went , to the Lyons railway , was crowded in every part , and there was a good deal of cheering . The Cent Gardes did not leave till Thursday . Admiral Jurien de Lagravidre proceeds with two ships of the line and four large frigates to the Adriatic , with a view to the strict blockade of Venice and , it is
said , the blockade of Trieste ; so far as Austrian vessels are concerned . ' . The army of Lyons has received orders to proceed to Italy , where it will form the 6 th corps of the army . The Emperor has just named the regiments * destined to form the 7 th corps of that army . It will be composed of ten regiments of Infantry , two battalions of Chasseurs , and eight regiments of Light Cavalry . These are already proceeding to Lyons , and will , it is said , increase the effective force in Italy to over 200 , 000 men . Prince Napoleon ' s staff will quit Paris on the 15 th
for Toulon . The detached corps to bo commanded by the Prince , nnd which is said to be for the object of revolutionising Italy , will , ' perhaps , land at Leghorn . With regard to the war loan wo are told that double the amount is already subscribed for , and that instead of 50 O , 0 QO , OOOf ., l . S . . . OOOf . might bo had for the same purpose , if required . Not the slightest doubt , snys a Paris letter , ia entertained of the defeat of the Austrlaris and their expulsion from Lombnrdy . This is so certain , that it is said M . Bacciocchi , who has the honour of superintending the Imperial concerts and dramatic
Sardinia. Operations Of Tiie Austrians —...
SARDINIA . OPERATIONS OF TIIE AUSTRIANS —ALLEGED CKtELTT TO THE INHABITAXTS- ^ -ARRIVAL OF LOUIS NAPOLEON . At the seat of war the position of the Austrians is thus sketched . It seems from the last bulletins published at Turin that if the Austrian army has suspended its movements in the direction of Voghera . Tortona , and Alessandria , its right wing continues to dep loy and to march onwards . It . lias reached Burorizo and Salussola ; they mention ifc also at San Germano , where it is raising entrenchments , Salussola is a station on the . railway which leads from Biella to Vercelli . Buronzo is a little to the right ; by its occupation , the troops at Salussola are arture from lh

While gaining ground towards the north , the Austrians compensate by the construction of entrenchments for any danger which the extreme extension of their line of operations may offer ; We have said that they are raising entrenchments at , SanGerm . ino ; they are constructing thorn also along and in . front of Sesia , in such a manner as to unite tthe advantages of a defensive position the Polity ot an unexpected attack tipon po . nts that , are badly guarded , and the benefit of living in an enemj s
