Termination of the General Lleciions—The Result State of Parties—Sccrd Treaty lutween the Three Northern Powers--Sensation in mu vy digence. The gencral elections are over, and the reeult is now clear to the country. Tho ministerielists will command two hundred and eighty-six votes, and the opposition three hundred and sixty-cight. This, which is the summing up of the free trade organs, would give a clear majority of eighty-two against the Derbyites. The Morning Herald, the semi- official organ of the Derbyites, declaros that its party has gained a few votes, and that tho new par- Jiament will consist of three hundred and five con- Servatives, three hundred and twenty-five liberals, and the rest doubtful ; but you may be sure that doubtful, in this instance, means opposition. Pro- tection is Vuried now. Even admitting that the members termed doubtful by the Herald should all Vote with the present ministry, it would be uncon. stitutional to carry on the government of the country with euch an ingignifieant majerity. The Liberals, it is trae, are not united. Thoy are split inte Peelites, whizs ‘and radicals, and cannot easfly take office owing to the want of harmony between them.

Petersburg, Vienna, aud Berlin, on the subject of the present position of France, and more especially with respect to the double eventaality of the establishment of an elec. tive or an hereditary erupive.

In the beginning of May it wae arranged that these notes should be made the foun- dation of a regular treaty between the two Emperors and the King of Prussia, and accordingly this treaty, which is dated the 20th of May, 1852, has been signed, ratified, and ex: ed. ‘e are now evabled to give an analysis of this important docu- ment, which has not yet ay in any journal. This convention, like the treaty of the 26th Septem- ber, 1815, is placed by the three sovereigns under the invocation of the. miost holy and undivided Trinity. Their majesties the Emperor of Austria, the . ng of Prussia, and the Emperor of Russia, considerin; That the basis of Kuropean order is hereditary right, that in that respect there isa joint responsibility and in- terest (solidarite ) between all via hay states; consider- s France, house of Bourbon pervonifies snd represents the jected to find vent on the birthday.

It is mnders! a there a hesitation in bas one breast among all those which are depositaries of this bruited secret. The doubter is Louis Napoleon himself Whother it bo sagacity, or timidity, or coldness, it is believed that he has not yet wade up his mind to give the signal | upon which the entire scheme depends. {From the London Times, July 30] We place but little reliance upon 1 document | published by one of our contemporaries, and pur- ing to be an abstract of a treaty, concluded on | u ‘20th of May last, between Russia, Austria, and Prussia, for the purpose of determining the line of | nduet they are resolved to pursue in presence of co these doubifal and delicate eontingencies. Until the existence of such a treaty, in the terms here employed, be more positively confirmed, we must entertain strong doubts of the existence of such a compact; for it would be an act of rashness andex- travagant impolicy ineonsistent with the course heretofore pursued by Europe towards Louis Na- Napoleon.

For all these motives, and for many others whic’ ureless to enumerate. the eubscribers to the prosnt cen- vention consider it their duty to determine beforehand, and by common accord, the conduct which they ought to held in the event that one or other of the eventuaiities, ubcve enumerated. should present themselves.

The probability is slender indeed that mon- archs so cireumstanced Will offer serious annoyance to one whose situation at the guiding-rod of the most | dangerous population in Europe is the exact coun- | terpart of their own at home. Every day that the | authority of Louis Napoleon is prolonged adds just | twenty-four hours te the duration of the monarchi- 1 institutions of Austria and Prussia. To the latter governments, his continuance in power would be worth purchasing on any terms; while his hostility ocak only be rieked under penalty of popular rebellion over every inch of ground | vacated by the oops which should he moved to resist him. The eame consequences, it is true, would not be incurred by the Emperor Nicholas. But, heavily as weighs the sword of the Czar in the balance of European power, it has been repeatedly proved that, by himself, he is unable to force the vations of the South and West into those political arrangements which he exclusively admires. Tho measure of his resentment was taken in 1830. He probably regarded Louis Philippe with an intensity of dis; very far beyond his dislike of Louis Na- poleon; but it would be difficult to describe his man- ner of displ: ying his sentiments otherwise than by saying that he eulked. After all, we are inclined to believe that the real secret of any delay in the res- toration of the Empire is to be sought in the indif- ference of the President himself. His followers may be greedy of more sonorous title, more splendid honors, and more profuse rewards than they enjoy at present; but their chief does not seem to care for the decorative accompaniments of his position, except so far as they evidence substantial power. Even if his tastes have been misinterpreted, we should imagine him too experienced a man of pleasure to call for the luscious sweets of imperial inves- titure before he bas thoroughly satisfied him- self with the solid eujoyments of absolute pow- er. It is absurd. too, to suppose that the Em- pire could be revived without some settlement of the fucceesion; and then comes the conside- ration that the immediate relatives of the Prince President are either imbecile or half ina while we may allude to circumstances of bis te life just eo far a# to swy that they render it improbable | that he would be inclined to precipitate his own | marrisge. Uf course, however, we speak of the Present, and of the present alone. It has been said that when a man once gete a coronet into his head, bo power in the world can getit out again; and we resem that the remark helds equally good of an wperial crown. If it be not exactly true that, in the game of ambition, the sundow is alwi ferred to the substance, the fulness of posseszion i stance and shadow go to Lords-protectora are ever dreaming about being kiogs—consuls and sagen are always on their road to be emy ou may press with oval t | | heelon the neck of ® people—you may be glutted to satiety with fer, | Vengeance, pleasure, wealth, and favtery—buty 3 keep you awake from week's end to week's end, if u have a trapping ora tide Jess than your con- stitutional brother, who canaot even pillage a sub- ject without imminent danger of being toppled down from his uncomfortabie throne.

We do not doubt that explanations bave been exchanged between the three Northern Courts on the subject of the future policy of France, and that they are perfect!y united and agreed upan the course to be adopted by them in the event of acy aggresive movement on the part of Louis Napoleon; but we have strong reason to doubt that any posi- tive terms have been adopted beforehand te regulate and confine their tuture conduct, and still more do we question the existence of a convention which be! t provoke the very dangers it is designed to obviate. lence ourselves publit England. At the Cireuit Court at Warwick, on the 28th ult., the cause of Constant Derra de Moroda vs. George Dawson, Henry Witton Tyndall, Richard Peyton and Artbur R; id, was heard before Baron Alderson and a special jury. ‘The plaintiff Constant Derra, it will be remembered, was arrested in Mr. Tyndall's house in Birmingham, on a charge of f pretences, along with the Baroness von Beck, whose death in the police cell caused considerable feeling at the time, the more so that it has since ap- peared the Baronessgvas really what she pretended tobe.

Ireland, Other riots have taken place in the county Clare than those reported by the Pacific. At Limerick, on Sunday, the 24th ult., a mob attacked some sol- diers of the 31st Regiment and injured two beyond hope of recovery, besides severely maltreating seye- ral respectable civilians for interfering. The rioters afterwards attacked the barracks of the 3st, and drove off the guard with volleys oftbricks and stones. There being no officer within the walls at the time, the sergeant commanding was unwilling to use ex- treme measures, and therefore endured the attack with patience. A detachment from the Castle bar- racks afterwards turned out and dispersed the mob at the point of the bayonet; not, however, without @ severe resistance—the officer in command being wounded, and many of the soldiers’ carbines being smathed, bayonets broken off, & , &c. The Slat was the regimens that fired on the people at Six- mile bridge, and hence the attack on them at Lime- rick.

The musical world was roused from the torper under which it has labored ever since the elections, by the announcement that the great Lumley, not tatisfied with tho victory obtained in the Wagner case, is preparing to play the same game upon no less a personage than Sontag, the world-renowned soprano—the ambassadress rent from Paradiso to give tous mortal beings a foretaste of what we have to expect in the “upper diggins”—against whom he has instituted legal proceedings, for refusing to appear at Her Majesty's theatre, “ for a limited number of nights previous to her departure for America,” and as this process will create a sensa- tion, from the high position of the belligerent par- ties, I hasten to lay before your readers such facts as I have been able to collect. When Lumley was on the point of being routed, in the month of June, by the Covent Garden oppo- sition, he applied to Madame Sontag, who was at that time carrying everything before her in Germany, where she wae rapidly retrieving the losses brought on by the revolutionary movements of 1848. But as she had ample reason to be dissatisfied with Lumley’s conduct during her former engagement, she peremptorily re- fased. Lumley then sought the interference of the committee of noblemen “ interested in tho prosperity of Her Majesty’s theatre; and Lord Clanricarde, accompanied by Lord Ward, immediately went to Germany, and finally prevailed upon the groat vo- talist to come to London and sing for twelve nights; it was, however, understood, that at least one half of the money still due to her had to be paid to her. On the strength of this contract, a respite was ob- tained from all the artists who had brought actions against the impresario for arrears Owing to this engagement, Madame Sontag declined mk ores at the Manchester and Birming! festivals, notwtibe standing the munificence of the offers made, and was only waiting for information whether the mone: had been duly deposited, to depart for London. No deposit being made, after a lapse of ten days, bee youd the stipulated time, she wrote to Lumley, an- nouncing her firm resolution not to sing ler his menagement, and insisted upon her name bein; withdrawn. This Lumley did not do, knowing that by doing to, the orchestra and chorus, who had not been paid during several weeke, would refuse to on, and immediately brought an action against Ma- dame Sontag for breach of contract against him, and throwing the responsibility of the hf sit upon the committee, who were not authorized ty him to accede to that stipwation It is very well known that Lumley’s object is to ‘ain time, and obtain a release from his debt; and the general opinion is, that Sontag will come off triumphantly. This tricky proceeding of the royal impresario is universally condemned; and it is even reported that Hor Majesty, who takes tho livelicst interest in the great prime donna, has signified her displeasure to Lumley, and granted to the Covent Garden opera the exelusive privilege of being called Her oy hat theatre. “ To give a proof of Mr. Lumley’s ingratitude, I transcribe the following —- ey quoted from the official report, and , ib) 3 d, in 1850, under the * A mse oa Wits tho elrcumacances under which Madame Sontag has once more appeared on the horizon, with undiminished glory, are considered, a feeling of something more than admiration takes possession of the observer, To behold a noble lady, ot whom there is not one in #0 many millions, come in a criti- ea! hour, uphold the greatest theatrical institation in the easy, and at once defeat all the workings of intrigue, envy, and ingratitude, partakes of that are secondary.” I thal keop you ou Kontpensier, and situated in th woin, Paris, ia advertised to be a The Hotel Monaco, | ¢ Hotel Monaco, belonging gosie ‘Ger this matter providential character of events to which al! others . ; Lowvon, July 90, 1862, 7 Theatrical Gossip im the Metropolis—Artistes ow roule for the United States— Matters and ‘Things in General.
