The Week.

Hcensad place such as the Alhambra is . The magistrate , aft . er a careful review of tbe arguments , and cases cited before him on a previous day , decided that the entertainment was a violation of the law , and inflicted a mitigated penalty with a view to having the question carried before a higher court . The Italian , Polizzoni , who is charged with the murder of the

costermonger at Saffron-hill , was brought up before the policemagistrate on Wednesday . For the defence several Italian witnesses were called , who stated that there was another Italian , a man named Gregorio , who was in the quarrel , who had since absconded , and who , it was argued by the . solicitor for the prisoner , was the real murderer . The magistrate , who remarked

that the weakness of the case against Polizzoni was that no knife had been traced to him—though he might have passed it after the stabbing to some of his companions—decided on committing him for trial . FOEEION INTEIAIG-EITOE . —BI . Fould's financial report to the Emperor Napoleon was published on Tuesday in Paris , and

makes promises of an approaching balance of income and expenditure , and of a coming reduction of naval and military expenses . The deficit of 1863 , BI . Fould tells us , will be lower by £ 600 , 000 than it was estimated to be ; revenue and expenditure will probably be balanced for 1861 , and in 1865 a diminution of £ 840 , 000 in the cost of the army , and one of

£ 920 , 000 in the cost of the navy , will leave a surplus of £ 720 , 000 to be carried to the credit of the year 1866 . Bforeover , M . Fould adds , " this sum may be sensibly increased if , as may be hoped , the extraordinary expenses for the military and naval services , which still figure in the anticipatory budget of 1865 to the extent of £ 2 , 600 , 000 , gradually diminish , and at last disappear . " This happy result , according to the financier , is due to the confidence felt in the Government , and

to " the peaceful sentiments with which Europe knows your Majesty to be animated . " Orders are said to have been received at Toulon to put out of commission and lay up in ordinary sixteen ships of different classes . At the same time it is reported that the army is to be reduced to £ 380 , 000 men , and that the contingent for 1866 is to be fixed at 80 , 000

instead of 100 , 000 . As there is no mention made in the statement of BI . Fould of the recently much-discussed bank of public works , it is naturally assumed that the idea is , at least for the present , abandoned .- The Archbishop of Cambrai has opened the war of the Ultramontanists against the Government in a letter addressed to BI . Bavoche , in which he questions the

right of the Government to prohibit the clergy from communicating the encyclical to their flocks . The Bishop of Blontauban follows in the wake of the Archbishop of Cambrai , entering a protest against the Governmental interference with the liberty of the clergy , and lauding the courage of Pius IX ., who , within a finger ' s breadth of ruin , displays tha

greatness of his soul by selecting such a moment for asserting his grand prerogative . The remonstrant bishop , however , is content to bide his time , and trust to a future opportunity for promulgating the views of the Holy See . The Bishop of Bloulins has not adopted the course pursued by some of his brethren in merely addressing a remonstrative note

to the Minister of Public AVorship , but , setting the Government at defiance , has read the whole of tlie prohibited missive from his pulpit , and has issued a circular to his clergy on the subject . The Bishop of Carcassones shows a submissive spirit by refraining from communicating the document , and contents himself with writing a circular to the priests of his diocese lamenting the

necessity for silence . ——The Austrian Cabinet has not thought fit to follow the example set by the French Government , and forbid the official publication of the Pope's late " encyclical , '

but has deemed it prudent to explain that it permits the unrestricted publication only because it thinks that any comment on . the " encyclical" is at " present uncalled for , " as that document merely expresses " a statement of pontifical views , " and will not make any alterations in the laws and regulations now in force in the Austrian empire . The Government of Spain has resolved on abandoning their pretensions to San Domingo .

Bfarshal Narvaez has submitted a bill to the Cortes for that purpose , the preamble of which says : — " Spain believed that the Dominicans were desirous of living under Spanish protection , "but resistance has become too serious to render it possible any longer to maintain such an illusion . Madrid journals declare that Spain will not restore the Chincha Islands to Peru until

the Peruvian Government shall have granted some satisfaction of Spanish demands , but that if the Peruvian President will disavow all participation in the outrages committed on Spanish subjects , and will commence a prosecution of the persons implicated in them , Spain will at once give up the Chinehas . A

German journal asserts—but the assertion must be received with the greatest doubt—that the Poles are preparing for a fresh rising in Lithuania and Samogitia , and that " armed refugees will land on the Baltic coast of those provinces . " Tlie Bavarian Blinister for Foreign Affairs has replied to a tart despatch of BI . Von Bismarck by a note asserting that Bavaria is " not disposed to allow the character of the Confederation , as an

association of members having equal rights , to be so prejudiced that a single member may fix the limits of its powers . " The Wurtemburg Blinister for Foreign Affairs , however , declared in the Chambers that a union of the minor German States was neither desirable nor possible ; that AVurtemburg and Bavaria alike " rejected the idea of foreign support ; " and that a

settlement of Schleswig-Holstein affairs must be expected from negotiations between Austria and Prussia . A terrible explosion of firedamp has occurred in the St . Catherine coal pit , Dour , Hainault . There were 117 men in the pit at the time , 57 of whom were killed , and many others seriously injured . Fortytwo bodies havo been recovered .

ISBIA . —The news from India by the Bombay mail is to the 14 th ult ., and is of a very satisfactory character , the only exception to perfect tranquillity being the warlike operations against the Bhootanese . Throughout British India ( soys tli 3 Times of India ) disaffection has ceased to show itself by any outward manifestations , and the increasing prosperity of the country , adding daily to the comfort and well baing of the

people , is reconciling them more and more to the dominion of England in Hindustan . Sir Hugh Rose was recovering from the effects of his accident ; his retirement , however , was expected , and Sir Hope Grant is named as his successor as commander in chief . The affairs of Cabool were as complicated as ever ; a large army had been collected by Ufzil

Khan ' s uncle , with the intention of attacking the Ameer . The Russians , having captured the whole territory of Kohan , were reported to be preparing to march against Toorkistan . A Persian army was said to be moving against Herat . AMERICA . —The news of the occupation of Savannah by the Federals was brought by the Ciiba , which arrived on Saturday

at Liverpool from New York . Despatches from Generals Sherman and Foster had announced that General Sherman had occupied the city of Savannah on the morning of the 21 st ult ., and had there captured 800 prisoners , 150 heavy guns , a large quantity of warlike stores , 13 locomotives and 190 railway waggons , 3 small steamers , and 25 , 000 or 33 , 000 bales of

cotton , and had found the 20 , 000 inhabitants quiet and well disposed . The Confederate General Hardee had previously rejected a summons to surrender ; but during the 20 th ult . he
