The Week.
Papal States , where they were arrested by the French and Papal authorities , and disarmed . —On the 14 th , Victor Emmanuel entered Naples , and was received with universal joy . The King afterwards issued a proclamation to the Neapolitan and Soicilian peoples accepting the sovereign authority of the Two Sicilies , transferred to him by universal suffrage . On Friday Garibaldi took leave of Victor Emmanuel , and afterwards left for the island of Caprera , overwhelmed with the most striking demonstrations of sympathy
from the King , the staff , the officers , and army in general . By the display of the loftiest heroism , the most undaunted courage , and miraculous success allied to simplicity , frankness , sincerity , selfdenial , and patriotism , Garibaldi has well earned the love , gratitude , and admiration of his countrymen , whom he has restored to political life and liberty ; and , in his retirement in his island home , he will also carry with him the sympathies ancl esteem of all that is good and noble in the civilised world . Letters from Gaeta , dated Sunday
last , stating that Francis II . had rejected the proposal to evacuate the town , and was determined to hold out to the last . Gen . Bosco had taken the command of the troops , still numbering some 13 , 000 men . The Sardinians are actively carrying on the siege works . Victor Emmanuel left Naples for Sicily on Monday . Farini has been appointed his lieutenant-general in his absence , and to General La Marmora has been entrusted the military re-organisation . Garibaldi ( who has been appointed a general of the army ) , in his farewell
proclamation , tells his companions in arms to be ready to follow him again , as it is likely a conflict will break out in Italy next March , when a million men will be wanted . General de Lamoricicre has published the account of his short , but unsuccessful campaign , which terminated with the fall of Ancona , He attributes his defeat to having had to cope with the Piedmontese army when he only expected to meet the Garibaldians , into which error he was entrapped by the belief that the French Emperor would not
tolerate the Piedmontese invasion . The Austrian Government , pursuing its lately-adopted liberal course , has issued a statute according a provincial representation to the Tyrol . An Imperial resolution also relieves the press by removing all warnings given to the journals up to the present time . It is said that a constitution is also to be given to \ enetia , The French Government has sent a notice to the provincial journals that it is contemplated to abolish the passport system . The same announcement has been made several times within the last ten years without leading to the
much to be desired result . The Pope has appealed to the faithful of the Roman Catholic world in general , and to the English portion of it in particular , for contributions to relieve him from his pecuniary embarassments , caused by the revolution of his own devoted subjects . An urgent request is made by Cardinal Antonelli to ihe Roman Catholic bishops and clergy to promote the object , and by this means probably a decent sum will be obtained from their English flocks . A Vienna correspondent states that
Lord A . Loftus and Prince Kallimaki had attended several conferences at the Foreign Office there , supposed to relate to the military occupation of Syria by a French corps d ' armee . The Donan Zeitung denies the statement that Austria had addressed a note on the AA arsaw interview to the Governments of Rome and Naples and the Italian ex-dukes . CHINA AND INDIA . —The Overland Mail has brought
correspondence and papers from Hong-Kong to the 27 th September , and from Shanghae to the 20 th . The negociations with the Chinese had failed , and that the allied army was marching on Pekin , is fully confirmed . On the 10 th the allies had reached Yangtsunyeh , only 10 mile 3 from the capital . The dispatches of Lord Elgin announcing the failure of the negociations , exhibit as glaring an instance of duplicity and bad faith as even the Chinese themselves have ever displayed , aud we trust ere long to hear that our troops
have at Pekin obtained from the Emperor and his Ministers the full satisfaction and payment for their numerous acts of perfidy towards us . Dispatches have been received from Sir J . Hope Grant and Lieutenant Colonel March , commanding at Shanghae , describing the attack of the rebels on that city , and their repulse by the Royal Marines . Amongst the papers is the rebels' reply to the proclamation addressed to their commander by Colonel March , which is remarkable for its bombastic style . AAte have papers from
Calcutta to the 8 th ult . They contain nothing of any importance , the strictures of the journalists being almost entirely confined to the measures passing through the Legislative Council . The news from Bombay is not of special interest . The Governor-General was about to commence his progress through Central India ; the volunteer movement was extending throughout the peninsula , hut drill , not unnaturally , gave place to rifle shooting ; there was a proposal to establish a weeklmail between England and Bombay
y ; and the medical officers of the Bombay army have sent home a . memorial for redress of their grievances . AUSTEALIA . —By the Overland Mail we have intelligence from Melbourne to Sept . 25 . The Parliament was prorogued on the 18 th ,
The Week.
the Land Bill having by a compromise at length been passed . Some fighting had taken place at New Zealand , in which the natives were worsted , but with , it appears , no great degree of honour to the Government troops . AFRICA . —By the arrival of the EtMope from the AVest Coast of Africa , we learn with regret that the slave trade on the coast between Cape St . Paul and Lagos , had experienced a revival , not less than 12000 Africans having been carried off between the 1 st of
, January and the last day of August , in spite of our cruisers . At Whydah trade was quite stopped , and thousands were being sacrificed to the manes of the late King of Dahomey . In the interests of humanity it is to be hoped that some means may be taken to put a stop to these diabolical proceedings . COMMEECIAL . —Considerable anxiety has been lately expressed in the city , by the large withdrawls of gold from the Bank for Foreign
speculations ( £ 635 , 000 having been withdrawn in two days . ) The result is that the rate of discount has been advanced from four to six per cent . —The Manchester Examiner says : AA e understand that a protocol has been signed at Paris , extending to the middle of of December , the period fixed for the completion of the commercial treaty . AVe believe it is Mr . Cobden ' s intention , as soon as he is released from his arduous labours , to spend some time in the south of France or Egypt , in order to recruit his health , which , we are sorry to learn , has suffered from the incessant application of the last six months .

ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA . Lodcr's "Night Dancers , " which was produced at the Princess's Theatre 14 years ago , and had a run of upwards of 40 nights , although not ' east with remarkable strength , and subjected to a change of "Prima donna , " the lady who first performed Giselle . having been taken ill shortly after the opera was brought out was revived at this theatre on on Saturday last . Like several
other successful operas , the story of "The Night Dancers " was founded upon a ballet , "Les Wilis , " rendered popular by that most charming danseuse "Carlotfca Grisi ; " and the music of M . Loderis highly characteristic , although his treatment of a German legend is more suggestive of the French than the German style of composition , the manner reminding one not rmfrequently of Auber . The directors of the Royal English Opera deserve credit for reviving this worktoo long neglectedand it is to be hoped thatwith the
, , , means they have of doing justice to them , and with their admirabl y organised band and chorus , they will ' revive other works of the English school , which have , according to custom , been suffered too soon to fall into oblivion . The cast include as Giselle Madame Palmieri , Mr . Haigh , _ Miss Thirlwall , Miss Lefiler , Mr . H . Corri , and Mr . Theodore Distin . The encores have been numerous , and include the tenor song ; "AVake my love" and the duets"He loves mehe
, , , loves me not , " and "Peace to the dead . " After the opera a new ballet called "The Ambuscade" was produced on Saturday , founded upon the incident of a " Danseuse" being waylaid by banditti and compelled to dance for their amusement—a subject which was treated in the ballet form at the Princess ' s Theatre when under the management of Mr . Kean . The principal dancers were Mdlle . Pierron , Miss Clara Morgan , and Mr . AV . II . Payne .
DRURY-LANE . The announcement of a new drama by Mr . AA ' atts Phillips , the aathor of " The Dead Heart , " attracted a numerous audience at this theatre on Monday night , anxious , no doubt , to see some of their old Adelphi favourites upon a new stage , for Mr . AA ebster , Mr . Toole , and Mr . Paul Bedford have transferred themselves for the occasion from the scene of so many triumphs to the wider arena of Drury-lane . The new dramawhich is called " A Story of the ' 45 '"
, , is not , as its title might suggest , based upon the adventures of tho illustrious prince who so gallantly though unsuccessfully attempted to regain the throne of his ancestors , but upon plots and counterplots which are supposed , with sufficient consistency for dramatic truth , to have been carried on in London at the period when the Chevalier had advanced so near to the metropolis as the town of D-erb y . The action is laid entirely in London and its immediate
neighbourhood , and the various scenes are contrived so as to give a very complete notion of the state of society and of the manners and habits of the time . The plot is a complicated one , in which plans for assisting the Pretender are mixed up with schemes of personal vengeance and with the rivalries and jealousies that arise from love intrgues . Mr . Phillips has fixed upon a story with strong dramatic elements , but he lacks either the skill or knowledge to work it up effectively . Many of the scenes are carried on in mere dialogue ,
