APECTION OF SWEABORG. reapondence of London Times. pedis Bexux, June 1s, 1856, ‘The report that General Kochonovitsch, the defender of Kinburn, had been condemned to death by a court martial, for his surrender of that place, is not correct; vefore any judgment was pronounced, or the trial tho- hly gone into, the General appealed to the mercy of the ror, in Teotrence to enteriag upon any defence or excuipation. No doubts are entertained that bis con- fidence in the clemency of the Emperor will be justified by the result; the greatest ible sympathy is exhibit- 9 on for during a lon; riod of military service he had all ocasions pertoumed his duty to the satisfaction of ‘bis Emperor, and on this occasion of his surrender of the fortress the necessity of 0 doing is traced to an ill deserved confidence which he had p! in those around ‘tim and under him, It does not appear at present that there is any immo- ‘diate intention of rebuilding Sebastopol; now that the Aarbor is no longer to be used for vessels of war, the value of the site is almost destroyed, for ax a comniercial station ‘ay be compared with Odessa, It is un- , that some few points of the southern which are ce ong to the completion of fefence of which the north side forms only ye restored.

The Princess Mickeladse in Kutais has been sentenced to twenty years’ hard labor in the mines of Siberia, for haying prosured the murder of her Ausband at the hands of four men, with one of whom she ‘was living in adultery. Her son, Prince Aslan Mickeladse, ‘about fourteen years of age, bas been condemned, on ac: count of complicity, to forfeit all his hereditary rank and ‘fdtles, and to enter the ranks of a regiment of the line. ‘Till within the very latest times Russia had only one ‘Consul in China, who resided in Canton; but very recent- we hear of Baron Solwinski, a well known student of the hinese language, baving been accredited to the govern- ‘ment of China as Charge d’Affaires, and ho will reside partly in Macao and partly in Canton. There are also to be three new Consuls to be appointed to the Celestial Em- pire, whose places of residence will be fixed by the abovementioned Charge d’ Affaires. In official circles at St Petersburg there are to be very uncomfortable feeling towards the Sul and his dvisers. Previously to appointing a new Russian Minis- to the Porte the Russian government bas caused a few preparatory inquiries to be made, and has arrived at the une: and unwelcome result that the Sultan ‘bdul Medjid entertains an inconvenient amount of sym- pathy for his westerly protectors.

From the sore the Tyrol to the southern extremity of the N: inions, that beautiful country is given up to and misery. A stern military despotism agra ut docs not repress ener iical or ciplomatic aspect of the question, save in 50 as a simple statement of facta must necessarily be regard ed as ground for interference. England can Sek no sel- fish objects in view in the Italian peninsula. We would not accept territory there, we do not desire even influence, if the inhabitants were once relieved from the tyrann under which they are eulfering, The best rewule for which we can wish is a strong and united Italy— in other ‘words, the re-admission of Italy into the felowship of nations as @ distinct an werful member of the Lac hi ne confederacy. In past times we bave beeu severely blamed by hot-headed enthusiasts, and by men still more energetic in action, though not 80 honest in intention, because we refused to torow the weight of British influence into their seale, This is a po- licy in which it is to be hoped the statesmen who guide ine eae of our ged 4 will still persevere. Eng- can take no part iu petty rigings and midnight con- spiracies. Whatevet we Fy must be done in the broad light of day. Our intervention, whenever it may take place, must’ be well meditated beforehand, effectual and decisive, With all this, we had rather avoid the necessity of action. Wo had rather that the petty potentates who, under the protection of Austrian arins, at present afllict tho Italien peninsula, should of their own accord pursue wirer counsels. Humanity, however, cannot much longer tolerate the fact that one of the fairest portions of the earth's surface should be given up to desolation and sor- row withouta result. The present political system of Itaiy has no future. It is not a system of which we can -~ that after a certain period of misery it may produce iter things. oy years have elapsed since the Italian States were over by the Viennese negotiators to the fostering care of their native princes and to the pa- ternal correction of Austria, and what has been the re- sult? From 1836 to 1856 one bs pon wail has as- cended from Italy. Even uow while we write, from one end of Italy to the other, with the single exception of the Sardinian dominions, wo find nothing but military pri- sons, military arrests, military executions; the country gorged with police spiee; fear and suspicion everywhere; universal lamentation for the past, sorrow for the present and despair for the future. In Lombardy, in Parma, in the Pontifical States, in Naples, society is thoroughly disorganized. The strong hand of Austrian power, indeed, makes itself every- where felt, and naturally in Lombardy toa greater ex- tent than elsewhere. But even in that province the ents of Austria have taken the alarm, and are muiti- i ying their own precautions and the misery of the in- abitants. The conscription is now enforced with even more than Austrian rigor. Married men are carried away fro:a their homes; only sons, who were never call- ed out, save when war was raging, are compelled to enter the Austrian barracks. M. Burger and hia agents see Warning epectres around them everywhere, and every warm breeze from the Mediterranean whispers in their ears the accursed name of Piedmont. Nine-tenths, how- ever, of the affliction which weighs upon the rich plains of Lombardy never can be known, save by a pes omcay, Ogle spee" sock — oe which reached lis other day when Felice{Orsini*escaped from ‘that drear; stropghold of Mantua which has witnessed so much ot buman suffering. From Parma there is nothig new, and this is the worst pozsible intelligence, The same system ofstern despotism under the auspices of an Austrian Ge- neral prevails as heretofore. Military law continues in full rigor. There is no trade, for there is no security for property or !lfe. There is ne amusement, for who can divert his thoughfs from his own miseries and the mise- ries of all around’ In Tuscany the Grand Duke, who has just returned to bis beautiful capital, is employing the first moments ef his return to make a y cordat with the See of Rome, on the model of the Concordat which has been ed between Rome and Austria, The effects of this unwise measure haye already £0 clearly appeared in the" latter country, that even Austrian statesmen have been com) to make application to Rome for relief from the spiritual tyranny of their ecclesiastical guides.

Acorrespondent of the London Times, writing from Rome, on the 4th June, saye:— Hi Fmipence Cardinal Antonelli and his Holiness, re- sponding to the verbal remonstrances of Count de Rayne- val, the French Ambassador, relative to the intention of his government to withdraw the army of occupation from Rome, said that they were of opinion that the Pontifical gover pment was sulficiently strong to meet any eventuali- ty that might ariee. pe apes ne this singular assertion of the Pontifica! court are needless, but I may say that no one here be- — that the Papal governmeatis capable of any such ibing. At Ancona political arrests continue. It is enid that a diversity of opinion exists between the Pope and Cardinal Antonelli; bis Holiness being in favor of a policy of civilization, while the Cardinal advocates maintenance of the present severe rule. It is even said thot @ pottical amnesty would have been granted had it not been for the opporition of Antonelli, This later was embittered at Lord Palmerston’s recent speech ou Italian afiairs. The speceh was inserted in the Gazsetta di Roma. ‘The Sardinian government has caused confidential verbal explanations to be made to tho Cabinets of the great Powers, in answer to the imputations contained in the Austrian circular despatch addressed to the repre- sentatives of Austria in Ital The gist aud tenor of these explanations ts to repudiate the imputation that Sardinia’s: policy and course in any Way favor revolutionary tenden- cics in Italy; but it is true that the position of leader and protector of the national movement—tho only movement that bas any future open to it in Italy—has been assigned ; and by accepting this leadership Sardinia power, and employs it for that purpose, to all revolutionary elements in Italy. This moreover, has been imposed upon her by the course, bearing of Austria towards her; if she would not caimly resign herself to be overawed into submission by Austria, she had no other alternative, On the other hand, there is good evidence that, as regurds the fomenting of revo- IWonary movements, it was Austia that was uaremit- ‘ung in exciting insubordination and disaliection in those por tons of Northern Italy not yet ocoupied by her troops, Jor the double purpose of justifying her present occupa tous, and paying the way for a future exteas\oa of them.

Now we were to witness the dé of an artist young, indeed, according to the date of her birth, but already endowed with a rep- utation ef some years 5\ , gained by her achieve ments in @ branch of art with the most thorough maturity. The lyric jienne of Berlin was stand before us—the lady wi everybody expected to see three years ago, and the check to whose appearance made a greater noise ut the time than the euccess of hen first Madame Ristori, in the character of Medea, passed the rock: ‘was sufficient to prove that all was ig be sald of Mademoisclie Wagner. When she advanced from the back of the stage as the armed Romeo, her stately form encased in the most glittering mail, the clus- ters of fair hair falling about ber neck, tae tall piuine waving above her head, she gave full earnest of ker vic- tory. “Vera incessu patuit dea;’? there was a revelation of superiority in the very step, and the sonorous voice in os4 the young warrior announced his mission as an ambassador of peace to the Capulets, and which rang through the house as penetrating and as awakening as the summons of a trumpet created @ feeling which was nothing short of amazement. People could not so soon make up their minds whether they were looking at a great, vocalist or a great actress—but, at all events, a grand a) was before them. A step light and ma- Jestic, a voice combining the resources of the contralto and the soprano, a spirited mode of declamation, a native grace ‘that rendered every me a pictorial tlustration—this wa altogether such a union of elements as for a while sus ee the power of reflection. ‘The truly martial manne which she shouted forth the air of defiance, ‘La tremenda ultrice spada, most brilliantly wound up the first scene, and in the next came the duet with Giu! in which Mademoiselle Wagner displayed all the passion ofan ardent lover, still in the same grand sculptured style with which she had represented the emotions of hatred. Anenthusiastic call followed the descent of the drop scene, and as soon as the plaudits had subsided @ lew sounds of disapprobation were heard. These, which could only have denote some persona! feeling— for to attribute them to critical opinion would be simply preposterous—had merely the effect of rekindling the zeal of the audience, and Mademviselle Wagner was agam® summoned before the curtain. The second act cf “I Capuletti ed i Montecehi’’ is simi- lar in character to the first scene of the frst act, being chicfly made up of & squabble between the rival factions, occasioned by Romee’s attempt to carry off Giulietta, and thus te prevent her marriage with Tebaldo. Montecchi and Capuletti hur! indignation in each other's teeth, as before, the essential difference in tho situation being the presence of Giuli over whose head the battie is fought. The manner in which Romeo, now attired in a graceful ball dress, clasps Giulietta to hia heart amid the storm of fury that is raging around them, is exquisitely beautiful.“ It should be dis tinctly remarked that the Romeo during the early part of the opera is by no means the Romeo of Shakspere. He is not a young gentleman with a father still living, who roams about in dark places uttering amorous conceits, but he is the active head of his faction, with bis thoughts divided between love and war, as ready to carry off his mistress by force of arms as t0 pour forth his adoration, at her feet. It is a personage of this sort that iv endowed with bodily substance by Mademoiselle Wagner. She is the gallant chief ef the middle ages, commanding to his retainers, baughty and menacing to bis foes, impast ioned in the presence ot hia lady love. We have spoken of her attitudes as “‘seulptured.”’ Let it be charly understood that by this expression we would not convey any notion of stiffiess or immobility, Though every is emiment- ly statuesque, even to the drapery, she drops in o them all as if by a natum! impulse, and the lithesome charac- tor of her movements is as remarkable as the grace and beauty of her attitades. Ab ‘he dispute between Romeo and Tebaldo in the third act, which is brought to a eudden termination by the ap- pearance of Gtulietts's funeralin the background, brought with ita new opportunity for display; and a vocal! etfegt introduced by Mademoiselle Wagner took th¢ audience by eurpr.se:— Vieni, io ti sprezzo e sfido Teco i seguaci tuoi; Tu bramerai fra noi I’Alpi frapposte ¢ il mar, said the infuriated Romeo, and while pronouncing these words of defiance Mademoiselle Wagner took such a sud den leap from the highest to the lowest extremity of her ‘voice, and at the sare time accompanied it with such an expression of overweelming wrath, that the combination of the vocal feat with the histrionic outbreak was of sur- Passing effect, | Maderaoisello Wagner is, esseutally the + eg tragédienne—with tho emphasis on the substantive. ¢ resources of her magnificent voice—or rather two voices—are devoted to the purposes of dra- matic illustration, and the power of declaiming with force at both extremities of the organ is an invaluable faculty, of which she never tails to make good use. Even the bravura paseages which she accomplishes are subservient to the situation of the mo- ment, and to test these by the same standard that would be applied to a concert singer would be as unfair as to re- Py of & colossus the minute neatnese of an ivory casket. it we leave the actress out of the question we may say that some of the transitions are abrupt; that all the notes are not completely rounded off; but take singer and actress together, and these exceptions become mere trifles in the resence of so grand a creation as the Romeo of fademoizelle Wagner, who, of course, reaches his climax iu the which i almost identical with that of, Bot pere, but Garrick. The beartrending sobs ‘with which Romeo flings himself on the supposed corpse of Giulictta, and his abandonment to a luxury of wo—the transient rapture with which he observes her resuscitation, the shriek and attitude of despair with which he exclaim: « Ah, iufelice {'’ as the remembrance of the poison flashes through his mind—came ia such rapid succession that th audience looked on with unmingled admiration, till at the descent of the curtain they rolled forth the most deafening applause, and thrice summoned before the curtain the great artist, who had already been called at the end of every act.

The stock market appears to be ina very unsettled condition, While some of the leading stocks show a slight improvement, others show a slight decline. At the first board to-day there was about the usual amount of trans- Nicaragua Transit fell off 14 per cent; Cumber. land, 4{; New York Central Railroad, 2{; Cleveland and Toledo, *{; Michigan Central Ratlroad, 3j. Illinois Central bonds advanced 4; per cent; Canton Company, 4; Frie, ; Panama, 4{; Illinois Central Railroad, %{; Cleveland and Pittsburg, %. There was an active business to day in railroad bonds, and the sales generally were at better prices. Tllinois Central bonds were in demand at 90 per cent; Harlem second mortgage bonds at 78, The stock market has evidently reached about the maximum point. There may be in some favorite stock a further improve: ment, and that improvement may be permanent, but the upward movement, generally, has about reached the turning point. The regular ten per cent dividend paying railroad stocks range in the immediate vicinity ‘of par, and that is the point we have always argued was about their real value. To maintain that standard, the payment of such dividends must be beyond any ordinary contingency. Speculation bas frequently inflated this olass ofstocks much beyond their par value, but nothing short of an artificial state of things in the stock market should or could give such fictitious value. The fact that railroad stocks of this character command now about their par value, is the strongest evidence of the natural and healthy state of public finances. Non-dividend paying stocks are not favorites just now, and it requires a very strong speculative movement to bring about any advance in prices, Money must give quick returns now-a-days. In- vestments that are not productive must possess extraor- dinary inducements to attract outsidere. Such investments may prove ultimately more profitable than many of those now paying regular semi-annual dividends, but the public do not think #0, and we do not intend to make any effort toconvince them to the contrary, The stock market as a whole is in a sound and satisfactory condition, With two or three very glaring exceptions, stocks are selling for just about their intrinsic value, and there we should like to sce them remain. It will be difficult to get them down much, 80 long as the present plethora of money continues, but we look for. a moderate stringen- cy as goon as the active business season opens. There were large sales of New York Central Rail- road stock to-day at lower prices. The cause of this decline is attributed to the following announcement :— The New Nork Centra! Railroad is about to issue five hundred thousand dollars of new bonds, ou account of the indebtedness of the several compaaies owning the Iine at the time of the consolidation and assumed by the Central Company. These bonds will be of the denomina- tion of $1,600 each, with coupons attached, drawing in- terest at the rate of seven per cent per annum, payable semi-annually, and the principal redeemable in twenty years from the Ist of August next, Proposals for these will be received by Jon V. L. Pruyn, treasurer, at Albany, until the 17th inst. After the board there was an active demand for Eric, and prices advanced largely. It was the result of a sud- den and actise call for the the stock, bought on buyer's option, and tho enquiry was such as to create a rapid advance. The effect of such movements is well under- #tood, and they produce only a temporary excitement. ‘The Board of Brokers adjourned to-day over to Mon day, the 7th inst. This wili give the members an oppor- tunity to spend a few days in the country without losing a regular meeting, and give the curbstone operators a chance to do something on their own hook. The report of the Railroad Commissioners of Connecti- cut states that there are in that State twelve railroad companies, having a paid in capital of $18,702,545, and debts amounting to $92,105,358. The total length of all the roads is 772 miles, of which 5% miles are in the State, The length of doubie tracks is 117 miles, The roads have cost, with their equipment, $29,505,662. Tho New York and New Haven road has cost $81,461 a mile; the New Haven and Springfleld, $46,006; the Danbury and Norwalk, which is the cheapest road in the State by one-balf, nearly, coat only $15,691 a mile. The number of men employed on the roads is 2,088, The New York and New Haven road has carried 1,062,872 passengers, which is almost as many as all the other roads put to- gether. The New Haven and Springfeid has carried 547,068. The gross earnings of all the roads for the year have been $5,534,829; net earnings, $1,448,412; dividends, $094,491; surplus, $487,245. Only six roads have de- clared dividends, and of the $394,491 thus paid, the New Haven and Springfield road has paid $235 000. On the subject of accidents, they say there have been but few since the Norwalk disaster of 1850. During the last year, not one of the 5,461,419 parsengers has received the slightest injury. The year beforo, only two passengers were injured out of a total of 2,000,000. Nearly one thousand bighwa: re crossed at grade by the railroads, and but one accident has occurred at ali these crossings the past year. A list of the casualities resulting in per- sonal injury or death during the year is given. There are twenty-five in all, of which thirteen were fatal, and were all owing to the carclessnees of the persons injured.
