No doubts are entertained that nis con- AAdence in the clemency of the Emperor will be justifled ‘by the result; the greatest possible sympathy is exhibit- , for during a tong Daren of military service he had. On all occasions performed his duty to tho satisfaction of his Emperor, and on this occasion of bis surrender of ‘the fortress the necessity of so doing is traced to an ill deserved contidence which ho had placed in those around ‘bim and under him. It does not appear at present that there is any imme- diate intention of rebuilding Sebastopol; that the Aarbor is no longer to be used for ve of war, the vaiue ol the site is almost destroyed, for as @ cominercial station 4t cannot in apy way be compared with Odessa, Tt is un- derstood, however, that some few points of the southern ‘Dart of the city, which are requisite to the completion oi the system of defence of which the north sidv forms only % portion, will be restored. A plan for tortifying Eupa toria has poss peupat discnased aud rejectod; and as ‘regards the defence of the Crimea, it appears as if Russia ntended for the present to content herself with what she can make out of the remains of Sebastopol. The claims ‘that have boen sent in to the goverument for compensa ‘tion for damago sustained in Sebastopol and Kertch al ready amount to more than 3,000,000 silver roubles; ac- ‘cording to the proportion for which’thy government holds étaelf Habie, it will have to pay fully 1,000,000 towards these losses. ‘The post of chef of the Black Sea division of the fleet ‘has been abolished, and the administration of the affairs }of that branch of the service has been made over to the ead of the administration of tho Baltic fleet, with which it is in future w be incorporated. Further, the civil ad- ani and the whole internal goverament ia gene- ‘ral of the Tschernomorian territory has been put under the cortrol of the Commander-in-Chief of the separate Caucasian corps, General Mourayielf. Under his orders, 0, the Ataman of the Tschernigorian corps of Cossacks & to be placed, aed the statute of its constitution is to be ered accordingly. This union of civil and military power inthe hands of the Commander-iu-Chief in the Caucasus, and this extension of his authority in those re ons, indicate the deliberate intention of prosecuting the mission which Russia assumes of “ civilizing’’ those mountain tribes. Tho Princess Mickeladse in Kutais has been sentenced to twenty years’ bard la»or in the mines of Siberia, for having prosurcd the murder of her husband at the han¢'s of four men, with one of whom she living in adultery. Her son, Princ Alun Mickvladse, bout fourteen ycurs of age, has been condemned, on ac- count of complicity, to forfeit all bis hereditary rank and ee, and to enter the ranks of a regiment of the line. ‘Tull within the very latest times Russia had oniy one onsul in China, who resided in Canton; but very recent ly we hear of Baron Solwinski, a well known student of the (Chinese language, having been accredited to the guvern- ment of China as Charge «Affaires, and he will reside partly in Macao and partly in Canton. There are also to be three new Consuls to be appointe! to the Celestial Em- pire, whose places of r@sidence will be fixed by the bovementioned Charge d’ Alfuires.

Nothing can be more painful than the secounts which we daily receive of the social condition of the Italian pe ningula, From the gorges of the Tyrol to the southern extremity of the Neapolitan dominions, that beautiful country is given up to brigandage and misery. A stern military despotusm acgravates but does not repress the gener license. We are not about to enter upon the po- itical or ciplomatic aspect of the question, save" in 80 us a simple statement of facts mumpecesenalls Ne regard- ed ag ground for interfereuce. England can have no sel- fish objects in view in the Italian peninsula. We would bot accept territory there, were it offered us; we do not desire even intluence, if the wretched inbabitants were once relieve from the tyrann! under which they are suifering. The best result for which we can wish is « strong and united Italy— in other words, the readmission of Italy into the te lowship of nations a3 a distinct and powerful member of the Eu Lag 0 confederacy. Jn past times we bave beeu severely blamed by hot-headed enthusiasts, nd by men still more energetic in ction, though not so Lonert in intention, because we refused’ to torow the weight of British influence into their seale. This is a po- icy in which ¥ is to be hoped the statesmen who guide he destinies @ our country will still persevere. , and can take no part in petty risings and inidnight con- ~piracies. Whatevyet we ao must be done in the broad light of day. Our intervention, wheuever it may take place, must. be well meditated beforchand, effectual aud decisive. With all this, we had rather avoid the necessity of action. We had rather that the petty potentates who, under the protection of austrian arma, at present afflict the Italian pevinsula, should of their own accord pursue Wirer counsels. Humanity, however, cannot inuch lopger tolerate the fact that one of the fairest portions of the ¢arth’s surface should be given up to Galasion aaa home row without a result, ‘The presept political system of italy has no future. It is not a system of which we can say that after a certain period of misery it may produce better things. Forty years bave elapsed since the Italiaa States were handed 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 16:5 to 1856 one long accusing wail has a3- cended from Italy, Even uow while we write, from one end of Italy to the other, wih the single exception of the Sardinian dominions, we find nothing but military. pri- sons, military arrests, military executions; the country gorged with police spies; fear and suspicion everywhere; universal lamentation for the past, sorrow for the present ‘and despair for the future. In Lomburdy, 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 agents of Austria have taken the alarm, and are multi- plying 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 wway froxa their hemes; only sons, who were never call- ed out, rave when War Was raging, are compelled to enter the Austrian barracks. M. Burger and his agents see warning spectres 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 ot Tombardy never can be known, save by ao chance revelation euch as that which reached us the other day when Felice{Orsini"escaped from “that dreary stropgbold of Mantua which has witnessed so much of human suffering. From Parma there is nothig new, and this ig the worst possible intelligence. The same system ofstern despotism under the auspices of an Austrian Ge- neral prevails as herctofore, Military law continues in full rigor. There is no trade, for there is no security for property or lite, There is no amusement, for who can divert bis thoughfs from his own miseries and the mise- ries of all around? In Tuscany the Grand Duke, who has just returned to his beautiful capital, is employing the first moments of bis return to make a Con- dat with the See ef Kome, on the model of the Concordat which has becn passed between Rome and Austria. The effects of this unwise measure have already so clearly appeared in the* latter country, that éven Austrian statesmen have been compelled io make application to Rome for reiivf from the spiritual tyranny of their ecclesiastica| guides. “M. de la Tour du Vin, the French Re ive at Florence; bas been in- structed to assure the Tuscan government that it may veckou upon the support of France if it can summon up etrength at the eleventh hour to resist the attacks of the Pentibes! meneurs; but we have little hope from the im- becihty aud bigotry of the petty putentate who at present reigns over Tuscany under the shadow of the Austrian tag. Let us cross the Tas-an frontier and enter the Mr dominions. Everywhere we meet with foreign sodiers—Austrians and reluctant Frencimen—whose bayonets the successor of St. Peter and his eccle- wia-tical advisers from violence and armed attack, even at the seat of their power. The land is going out of cal- tivation, No attempt is made to educe the many virtues of that fertile soil. A spell is laid over the moral as well as physical developement of the coontry. corres} lent of the London Jimes, writing from Rome, on the 4th June, say: — His Emivence Cardina) Antonelli and his Holiness, re- sponding to the verbal remonstrances of Count de Rayne- val, the Prone Ambassavor, relative to the intention of his gov ernment to withdraw the army of occupation from. Rome, said that they were of opinion that the Pontiiica gever bment wus suiliciently strong to meet any eventuall- ty that might arwe. Comment- Cd this singular assertion of the Pontifica’ court are needless, but] may say that no one here be- [aay that the Papal government is capable of any such bing. K At Ancona politica! arrests continue. . It is eaid that a diversity of opmion exists between th Pope and Cardiual Antonelli; bis Holiness being in favor of a policy of civilization, while the Cardiual advocates maintenance of the present severe rule. It is even said that a pottical amnesty would have been granted had it not been for the opposition of Antonelli. This latier was embittered at Lord Palmerston’s recent: speech on Italian affairs, The speceh was inserted in the Gazzetta di Koma The Sardinian government has caused confidential verbal explanations to be made to the Cabinets of the great Powers, in answer to the imputations contained in the Austrian circular despatch adoreesed to the repro- ventatives of Austria in Italy. The gist and tenor of these explanations is to repud.ate the imputation that Sardiaia’s policy and course in any way favor revolutionary tendea- cies tu Italy; but it is true that the position of leader and protector Cl the national movement—tho only movement that bas any future open to it iu Italy—has been assigned to Sar‘unia; and by accepting this leadership Sardinia has it in Ler power, and employs it for that parpose, to suppress ali revolationary elements in italy. This ceurse, morcover, has been imposed upon hor by the bear of Austria towards her; if she would not calmly rn erseif to be overawed into submission by Austria, jad no other alternative. Gn the other hand, there is good evidence that, as regards the fomenting of revo- iuWenary NoveMents, it Was Aust ia that Was uaremit ting in exciting insubordination aud diew ection in thor portions of Northern uly not yet oceupted by her troops, for the double pur} of justily ing her preeet coeupe tious, and paving way for a future extensioe of em. n Victoria’s State Ball, the Loudon Times, Jume 0%) tate Bul last eventag at Rocking The Queen gi ham palace to royal fons nobility and gentry.

On this occasion the cause of ex. citement was completely different from that of three Weeks since. Ther we Were to sue @ young artist just starting in a brillant carcer, with all the attributes of Fem rape May almost say girtishness. Now we were witness the détut of an artist young, indeed, according to the date of her birth, buf already endowed with a rep- ‘utation of some years standing, gained by ber achieve- ments in a branch of art associated with we most thorough: meturity. The lyric tragedienne of Berlin was to stand betore vs—the lady whom everybouy expected to see three years ago, and the check to whose appearance made a greater noise at the time than the success of anybody else. Lew firet Madame Ristort, in the character of Medea, passed along the rocky background, that first entrance ‘Was buflicient to prove tha’ ail was right. The same may be said of Mademoiselle Wagner. When she advanced from the back of the etage ux the armed Romeo, her stately form encased in te moet glittering mail, the cius- ters OF fair hair falling about her neck. tee tall plume waving abc ve her head gave full earnest of her vic tory. “Vera incessu patuit dea;"” there was & revelation of superiority in the very step, und the sonorous vowe in which the young Warrior announced his mission as au ambassador of peace to the Capulets, and which rang through the house as penctrating and'as awakening as the summons of a trompet created .a feeling which wa nothing short of amazewent. Leople could not so soon make up their minds whether they were looking ut a great vocalist or a grext acuress—but, at all events, « grand apparition was befure them. "A step light aud ma Jesti¢, & voice combining (he resources of the contralto and the sqprano, a spirited 1ode of declamation, a native grace that rendered every zose a pictorial ilustration—this wa altogether such a union of elements as ‘ora while sus nis the power of reflection The truly martial manae in which she shouted torth the air of defiance, “L frenenda ultrwe spada, most brilliantly wound up the firstscenc, and m the next came the duet with Giulietta, 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. An enthusiastic call followed the descent of the drop #ceue, and as soon a» the plaudits had subsided @ ‘ew sounds of disapprobation were heard. These, whicb coule only have denowt some personal fealing— for to atuibue them to critical opinion would be simply preposterous—bad mere'y the effect uf rekindling the zeal of the audience, and Mademoiselle Wagner was again summoned beipre the curtain. The second act of +1 Capuletti ed i Monteccbi’’ is_simi- lar in character to the first scene of the first act, being chiehly mate up of a squabble between the rival factions, occasioned by Romeo's attempt to carry off Giulietta, an thus te prevent her marriage with Tebaido. Montecchi and Capuetti burl indignation in each other's weth us befape the essential difference in the situation being the presence of Giulietta, over whose head the batticis fought. The manner in which Romeo, now attired in a graceful bali dress, Cot Giuhetia we his heart amid the storm of fury that is raging around them, 1? exquisitely beautiful.” It should be ‘dis tinctly remarked that the Romeo during the early part of the operais by no means tue Romco ot shakspere. He i not a yeung gentleman with a father still living, who roums 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 of! his mistress ty force of arms as to pour forth his adoration at her feet. It is @ personage of this sort that is endowed with bodiy substance by Mademoiselle Wagner. she is the galian chiet of the middle ages, commauding to his retainers, Laughty anc meuacing to his foes, imyas:ioned in the preience of his lady love.’ We have spoken of her attitudes # “sculptured.” Let it be clearly underswod that by ths expression we would not convey any notion of stiffness or tsamobiiy. ‘Though every pov is eminent ly statuempe, even to drapery, she drops ino them all as if by a natural impulse, and the lithesome charac tor of her movements is as semarkuble ag the grace and beauty ofher atutudes. { The dismte between Romeo and Tebaldo in the third fact, which is brought to a sudden termination by the ap. pearanceot Giulietta’s funeral in the background, brought with it anew opportunity for display; aud a vocal effect introduced by Mademoiselle Wagner took the audience by éurprise— Vieni, io ti aprezzo e sfido Teco b seguaci tuvi, Tu bramerai tra noi L'Alpi frapposte e H mar, said the infuria mco, and while pronouncing these words of defiance Mademoiseile Wagner took such a sud- den leap from the highest to the lowest extremity of her voice, and at the sane time accompanied it with such an expression of overweciming wrath, that the combination vt the voval feat with the bistrionic outbreak was of sur- posing effect. Mademoiselle Wagner is essentiaily the lyric tragédienne—with the emphasis on the substantive. he resources of her magnificent voice—or rather two yoices—are devoted to the purposes of dra. matic illustration, and the power of declaiming with force at both extremities of the organ is un invaluable faculty, of which sho never fails to make good use. Even the bravura passages which she accomplishes are subservient to ituatioa of the m>- ment, and to test these by the same standard that would be applied to a concert singer would be as unfair as to re- ture Of a Colersus the minute neatness of an ivory casket. It we leave the actress out of the question we may say thai some of the transitions are abrupt, that ali the notes are not completely rounded off; but take singer and actress together, and these exceptions become mere trifles in the presence of so grand a creation as the Romoo 0: dindemoiselle Wagner, who, of course, reaches his climax im te fourth act, which is almost identical with tha of, not Shakepere, but Garrick. The heartreading sob. with which Romeo flings himself on the supposed corps: of Giulietta, and his abandonment to a luxury of wo—th: transient rapture with which he observes ber resuscitation the shriek and attitude of despair with which ho exciaim ‘ Ah, intelice !"" as the remembrance of the poison tlashe through bis mind—came in such rapid succession that th audience looked on with unningled admiration, till at th descent of the curtain they rolled forth the most deafenin. applause, and thrice eummoned before the curtain the grea arust, who had al he end of every act. ‘Theatrical, M &e.

We are indebted to « gentieman who has bad oxcetient opportunities for obtaining reliable information, fer some interesting facts in relation to the condition of the crops throagbout the State, They have been derived from travelers and employés upon the Central and other roads with the last few days, ‘The yield of early sowed winter wheat, put in, aay, from the Lab to the 16th of September, wiil be above the annual aver@ge, and nearly or quite a’ good as last year. Late sowed winter wheat, on the covtrary, was generally winter killed, and there are but few fields worth reaping.

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 tirst board to-day there was about the ususl amount of trans- actions. Nicaragua Transit fell off 4 per cent; Cumber- land, 44; New York Central Railroad, 2{; Cleveland and ‘Toledo, \{; Michigan Central Raiiroad, 34. Illinois Central bonds advanced \ per cent; Canton Company, 1; Erie, 4M; Panama, 34; Illinois Central Railroad, 24; Cleveland and Pittsburg, X. There was an active business to-day in railioad bonds, and the sales generally were at better prices. Ilinois Central bonds were in demand ai 90 per ceut; Harlem second mortgage bonds at 78, The stock market has evidently reached about the maximum point. There may be in some fuyorite 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 bave always argued was about their real value, To maintain that etandard, the pay ment of euch dividends must be beyond any ordinary contingency. Speculation has frequently inflated this clase of stocks 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 comma.d 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 pricee. Money must give quick returns now-a-days. In vestments that are mot productive must possess extraor- dinary inducements to attract outsiders. Such investments may prove ultimately more profitable than many of those now paying regular semi annual dividends, but the public do notthink so, and we do not intend to make any effort twoconvince them to the contrary. The stock market as a whole ts 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 torce them remain. It will be difficult to get them down much, so long as the present plethora of movey continues, but we look for @ yoderate stringen- cy a8 soon 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 foliowing announcement — The New Nork Central Railroad is about to issue five mpaby. tion of $1,600 each terest at the rate of seveu per cent per annum, payable semi-apnually, and the principal redeemable in twenty years from the Ist of August next, Proposals for these bonds will be received by Jonu ¥. L. Pruyn, treasurer, at Albany, until the 17th inst. After the board there was an active demand for Erle, and prices advanced largely. It was the result of a sud- den and active call for the the stock, bought on buyer's option, and the enquiry was such as to create a rapid advance. The effect of such movements is well under- stood, and they produce only a temporary excitement. The Board of Brokers adjourned today over to Mon- day, the 7th inst.
