Whether the other Russian grand princes, who are receiving such @istinguished honors in all parts of Italy, will be here o1 the same occasion, dovs not yet appear. At all events, revms there is to be a sufficient concourse of grand per- ronages to break up the usual monotony, and give willing correspondents something to do. ‘There will be a grand parade on the 9th or 10th, which will doubtdess be fol- Jowed by other distinguished festivities. The importance of this “high visit’? will not be seen, however, in “the military reviews, or French plays, or other court ceremo- nies, Nicholas does not come here merely to see how clean the Austrians keep their white coats, how well the court ladies act French, or how Franz Jomeph’s cookery compares with his own.

This is a high price for boxes, which is generally 60 francs, and stalls, whieh fetch nine franos! Such is the batch of theatrieal news I have to mention this week. I think it useless to say that all our theatres have :been crowded daring these last few days, and this is easy to be understood when it is considered whut sort of inclement weather we have had for the last month. The evenings are still as cold and freezing as in January, and the days are as hot, from twelve till four, as during the month of June. A fall of rain, which occurred on Friday Jast, was considered a great benefit for the crops, Which were endangered by the temperature of ihe last two or three months, But during one night it fro vines, fig, nut, and peach tree s of F; were destroyed in a ‘ance, and our harvest of to be lost. ‘The grain are crops dull, and the rye and the oats will produce very little. Thus there will be an excellent occa- sion for American spe ilators to operate for Europe. Notwithstanding this weather the public pleasures are still going on.

The Chateau d’Asniéres was to have been opened this evening, with a grand festival; b: owing to a very heavy rain, the affair will be post poned. Strangers are invading thiscity with a rage, which has no preceding example but that of las during the Great Ex hibition in London. The cause of this travelling fury or mania, is the fortheoming sview of The 10th’ May, which will, no doubt, be witnessed by an iminvfse number of Englishmen.

Honors to William Sidney Smithin Mebile. [From the Mobile Register. 14th inst. Yesterday a committee of our citizens, by his honor the Mayor. presented to this_gentlema: - retary of the British Consulate at Havana—a sp! q service of silver, as a testimonial of their gratitude for the noble and philanthropic services rendered hy him to- the American prisoners who were taken in the ill-starred Cuban expedition under Gen. Lo} ‘The presentation took place in the drawing room of the Eutaw Meuse. at. 12o'clock. The Mayor. Judge Sewell, upon tendering the testimonial of the citizens of Mobile, addressed the recipient in appropriate terms; to which address Mr. Smith replied, stating that his own poor services extended) to the unfortunate members of the Lopes expedition, de- served rfo such expression of kindness and approbation. He had only done what every philanthropic heart would haye been oer to do under the same ciscumstanecs, and would have done if the eee po had been afforded. He saw the prisoners in Havana, in distress and suffering. after having endured the greatest hardships in. their unhappy, though gallant expedition—into which they had entered from honest. but mistaken notioas—and he had rendered them such public assistance as was in his power. He felt bund to say that he could not have done this without the assistance of the generous and ne inhabitants of Havana, who manifested the utmost sym- pathy and sorrow for the unfortunate prisoners. He would also say that great praise and honor were due to the high official authorities of the island, for the lenity and kindness they had manifested. General Coneha, after the dangers of the invasion were over, had nobly and ge-- y interposed all his powers to relieve those unfors tunate men from the penalties of their conduct. his order to spare the lives of all who should surrender, he had indeed acted in contravention of his commands from: the royal government, and thus exhibited the magnani- amity and philanthropy. of his nature, Great praise was due to him, and the other functionaries of the ishand. 1m these views, Mr, Smith said he was sure he would be sustained by the prisoners themselves, some of whom he was happy to see around him Mate rial Aid to Kossuth in New England. {From the Boston Commonwealth, 22d inst.)
