The Week.

Iii this month of June , 1 S 59 , wo have thirty-seven screw line-of-battle ships complete , and three taking in their engines , making a total oE forty in place of twentyeight . Other vessels , also , are coming rapidly forward , even more rapidly than was anticipated when the estimates were produced three months ago , so that by the end of this present financial year we shall have fifty line-of-battle ships of admirable quality to assert our supremacy on the seas . As the navy was already well lied with smaller vesselsand especially with gunboatsits aggregate

supp , , strength may now be regarded without much dissatisfaction even by Mr . Roebuck himself . Iu the House of Lords , on Friday , Lord Derby announced the resignation of his government , and expressed his surprise and regret at seeing in the Times of last Monday a report of the Queen ' s conversation with Lord Granville on the formation of a ministry . Lord Granville said he regretted the circumstance ; he had mentioned the facts to a few political friends , and ho was as much astonished as Lord Derby to find what he had said appear in print . He would be more

careful another time . In the House of Commons , Mr . Disraeli announced that ministers only held office until their successors in the government were appointed .

PUBLIC AMUSEMENTS . AT the Royal Italian Opera , at Covent Garden , the sole novelty , properly speaking , of the week has been the revival of Rossini ' s "Otello , " with Tamberlik as the hero , Roneoni as lago , Neri-Beraldi as Roderigo , and Qrisi as Desdemona . In the vocal delineation of passion and jealousy , for which tho part of the Moor gives opportunitySignor Tamberlik is unapproachable . He was very finely supported b

, y the lago , and tho effect these two eminent artists produced in the famous "jealousy duet" was , indeed , superb . Last evening was given " Lucrezia Borgia ; " it is only necessary to say that the part of . Lucrezia was sustained by Grisi ; the terrible Didce AIfonso by Roneoni ; and the part of Qennaro by Mario , to recal to the reader ' s recollection one of the finest tragic performances that Europe can produce ; we may add , that Signor Mario was in excellent voice . At Drury Lane , the managers have lost no time in securing the services of Millie . Piccolornini , who only arrived

from America this day week , and made her appearaneo at this theatre on Monday . Although , unfortunately , it must bo allowed that this charming little lady is neither as a singer nor a musician to be compared with tho least successful of the prime dmine at either opera house , on one point there is a singular unanimity of opinion—
