Orgayaization of the New Italian Kingdom. Aspent of the Great Powers to the Annexation of Savoy and Nice to France. WHE WICE OF THE: PEOPLE TRIUMPHANT.

Jt treate the speech as the programme of the republican party, and sees in it evi- dence of the dawning of a more friendly feeling between the Northern and Southern States, It thinks that under the organization of the republicans, and with the moderate programme sketched by Mr. Seward, the North may be able, without plotting or bluster, to roll back the tide of the slayeholding aggression. THE SAVOY QUESTION SETTLED. ‘The Paris Patric says that the Sardinian troops have ommenced the evacuation of Savoy, and that the first detachment of French troops, returning from Lombardy, will arrive at Savoy on the 26th of March. M. Thouvenel’s last despatch to Count de Persigny, soontaining explanations for the British government rela- sive te the annexation of Savoy, was published in the Paris 18%: Monitewr on the 224 of March. It contains little but what Ihad been previously stated. It points out the necessity for she revision of the French frontiers; reiterates the Empe- ror’s respect for existing treaties; claims that this is purely ‘am exoeptional case; shows that the cession will be mae ‘Withent violence and free from all constenint, and conclades ‘by’ expressing confidence that England will sce that the situation of France has required the consummation of this &%.,. &. + ‘The Lendon fimes, in an editorial, admits that (he an- ~mewation must be quietly allowed, but’ at the same time ‘denounces the act as one of spoliation and wrong, and in ~:rineipie ag bad as @ march upon the Rhine or a gudden YPsstempton Antwerp. It adds, it must leave upon’ all = 1inds the conviction that there is no safety except-in.con- } mual watchfalness and armed preparation against the 1. of a sovereign who thus seizes,upon the posses- * sions of a friendly Power. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London 7imes says that all the Powers had rephed to France relative to Savoy, ‘and gives the following as tho substance of their notes:— Russia says that so long as the right of the people to select rulers is not put forward by France, and thatas the present change does not affect the balaace of Europe, shat Sardina may Pdwith Savoy is no business of hers. Prussia says that, as the Emperor of France formally disavows the doctrine of natural frontiers, the transfer of Savoy ts no business of hers. Austria declares that she certainly does not approve of apy annexation of the kind, but as Europe stood by when other amnexations were effected, she does not see what she has to do with the annexation of Savoy. Six French regiments are said to have taken possession of Chablais and Faucigny. The Kmperor Napoleon, in receiving the deputation from Savoy, stated that the reunion of Savoy and Nice to France has been resolved on in principle. The assent of Piedmont and of the population had been obtained, and ibe megotiations with the Powers who signed the treaty of 1816 permitted the bope of a faverable cxamination of ‘the question by the greater part of them. 4 French frigate had arrived off Nice, and several re- giments were expected thero on the 26th, The popula- tion of Nice bad signed a petition againat the representa- ne of the municipality, GREAT BRITAIN. In the House of Commons th¢ Savoy question was again debated, and the condi.ss of the British government was consured by covetal members, ‘The Budget was taken up, and Mr. Gladstone moved a _Ygsolation imposing an income tax of ten penge im the peund for one year. ‘Am wmendment was offered reducing the tax to nine penee, but it was rejected by 65 majority, and the crigi- ‘Bal resolution agreed to. Several other provisions of the budget were adopted. In the House of Commons, on March 21, the bill limit- img the hours of labor of women and children in the bleaching and dyeing works was passed by # large ma- On March 22, the debate was resumed on the Reform Dill, Mr, John Pakington being the principal speaker in op- ponidian to it. He was followed by other speakers, when ‘Who debate was further adjourned. ‘The Reform bill was regarded with much apathy by tho press and the public. On March 23, in the House of Lords, the Duke of New- ‘eastie said that the government had received no informa- ‘tion from either France or Sardinia relative to the recent Vote of the municipality of Nice on the subject of an- mexation. Colonel Dunne asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Aflairs whether he was aware of the intendod advance of the Spanish army on Tangier, and what guarantec he had received from the Spanish government that there would ‘be nO permanent or even protracted occupation o! a place ‘se cesential to the supply of the fortress of Gibraltar. Lord John Russell said that th Spanish government inad replied to the representations of her Majesty’s gov- ernment with respect to a prolonged occupation of Tangier ima friendly manner, and the correspondence had already been Iaid on the table. The merchants of Manchester had appointed a deputa tyon to wait on Sir C, Wood to make representatioas ‘against the increase of duty in Indis on cotton, yarng and twist. FRANCE. . @eneral Dufaur, who is on # special mission from Swit- zeriand, had an interview with the Emperor, and expressed Rimeelf satisfied with his assurances to respect Swiss in- terests. Is ia aneerted that the French government, while still re- ‘aiming Chablais and Faucigny, is disposed to give most aolemb guarantees to Switzeriand and Europe tha Swiss imterests shall be protected. . ‘The fleet at Toulon had reesived orders to be ready for ea. ‘Fhe Panis Bourse had becomefirmer. On the 231 there ‘was wdecided improvement, and the rentes advanced to * @8f. 80. ‘The Grand Duke Michael had arrived at Toulon incog- nite, where he ie tuspecting the newly constmcted ports $$ ble gunboats, with a view to the application of the system on the Amcor river, Orders had been issued for the format'on of two oampa, additional (© that of Chalons, one consisting of infancy’ ‘near Stcmer, and the other of cavairy at Luvevil.c, nar the Prassian frontier. L+ Nord says the reply of the British government had reached Paris, and it was understood that, it had not re- nounced all hope of preventing annexation, or at least of reducing it to preportions which would make it # con- stant source ef embarrassment to France. Russia is eaid to have sent ® despatch to Paris in oppo- sition to ap annexation, and protesting against the appli cation of the theory of national frontiers. ITALY. = ‘The French army in Lombardy commenced ita return on the 21st. ‘The Sardinian Council of State had decided that th concordat concluded by Austria with the Pope is not biad- ‘ing in Lombardy. The ex: Duke of Tuscany is preparing to protest against his fate. Baron Ricasoli reached Turin on the 22d, and presented to the King of Sardinia the vote of Tuscany on the annex- ‘ation question. The King, in response to a congratulatory ‘speech by Ricacoli, said:— T accept the vote of Tuscany, which, after hay been rae Nawoal ‘Ament, mmo contr: & unanimit; sl . seoociating ber destinies with thos Tuscany, in with those of Pied far from ‘renouncing, contioues her glorious trad! and augments their importance, by uniting them to those of the other parties of State. ‘The Parliament in which the re a jatatives of will take seats beside those of ray oat moat, Lombardy and the Amelia, will bring the laws of the country into con- formity with the truthful principle of liberty. Thus Tus- the blessings of administrative y The King then signed a decree annexing Tuscany wo Sardinia. It is ordered that on the promulgation of the decree annexing Tuscany to Piedmont, the French Legation at Florence would be dissolved and return to Leghorn. The Paris Constitutionnel, in an article by ite principal editor, says the withdrawal of the Frenoh troops from Italy must not be considered a sign of coolness between France and Sardinia, France leaves Lombardy because its independence is irrevocably assured. Austria only intends to act in defence of the frontier of Venetia. The loyalty of the Freach Policy could not occasion her any embarrassment on that sub. ject. Tho withdrawal of the French army from Italy is therefore a sign of the approaching olation of the ques tion of Italy, and not a sign of complication, which the wisdom as well as the interest of Piedmont will know how to prevent, Is-was reported that Cavour would be Minister of Ma. rine in the Sardinian Council, Prinoe Carignan was expected to proceed to Florence on the 26th, not as Regent, but asthe King’s Governor of Tuscany. ‘The ex-Grand Duke of Tuscany was preparing a protest addressed to the European Powers, and a manifesto to the ‘Tuscans, against the flagrant violation of treaties that has taken place. ‘The Duchess Regent of Parma had appealed to the great Powers to support her protest. A demonstration had taken place at Rome in honor of the birthday of Geribaldi.. The soldiers dispersed the crowds, and @ number of persons were wounded. AUSTRIA. ‘The agitation in Hungary continued, and numerous ar- reats had been made in Peath, ‘The Swiss Charge d’Affaires at Vionna had presented to Oount Rechberg a circular note, in which the Federal Council protests to the Powers who guaranteed the treaties of Vienna against any mespuro having for its object the incorporation of Chablais and Faucigny with the French empire. Oount Rechberg replied that Aus- tria reserves her definitive reply until she has ascertain- ed the disposition of Europe; but he reminded the tminister that last year, when the French troops were conveyed by railroad from Oulose ‘to Cham- bery, the Austrian cabinet in vain represented to Switzerland as well as to the Great Powers, that the neutrality of that part of Ssvoy should be respected; but by the passage of the French troops that neutrality wai openly violated, contrary to the treaty of 1816, Letters from Pesth report that many arrests in that city bad been made, and revolutionary proclamations are said to bave been discovered by the police. Many rifled cannon had been recently made in Aus- tria, and were supposed to have been sent to Venetia, ‘The Austrian government was raising at home a new Joan of 200,000,000 florins, interest at 6 per cent, repaya- bie in fifty seven years, by means of lowery drawings.

The spring Opera season commences this evening as naturally as people move on the lst of May. || Old and Young New York, it is expected, will convene in great numbers at the Academy to-night. Adelina Patti, the prime favorite with metropolitan Opera-goers, re- turns to Irving place with a second crop of provin- cial laurels, On Wednesday last, st Philadelphia, she added ‘Don Pasquale” to her repertory, and achieved one of her greatest successes in the réle of Norina. She will sing, on this evening, Rosina in -the ‘Barbiere,’’ considered by the diletanté ber very best rdte. Brignoli wilt sing Almaviva, and the remainder of the cast will be as before, There is a degree of personal interest attached to to-night’s per- formance, from the fact that the prima attains the inte- Testing age Of seventeen to-day. Sbe nas now Deen seven months on the stage, and her career has been one of uninterrupted triumphs. The annals of operatic his- tory offer but few parallel to the success of Adelina Patti. ‘The Opera season at the Winter Garden, under the able direction of Max Maretzek, will commence on Wednes- day of this week with “ Lucia di Lammermoor;” Madame Gassier, Signori Errani and Gassier will sing. Tho début of Madame Fabbri (in “ Ernani’’) will take place on Friday. In the theatrical. world the week bas been a fair one, all things, and especially thé end of Lent, considered. Mr. Bourcicauli’s ‘‘ Colleen Bawn’’ incréases in attraction, and will doubtless be played at Laura Keene's theatre up to the end of the season, (May 14,) when Mr. Jefferson takes possession. The engegement of Mr. and Mrs. Bar. ney Williams at Niblo’s closed on Saturday, ani Cooke’s Girous, which has rather astonished the Bostonians, re- | turns to the Garden on this evening, with all the former attractions and some newrr’s,as may be seen by the announcements. Some of to* a‘nurers of Mr. and ‘Mrs. Barney Williams intend to give sem an ovation at the Winter Gagden next week. No artists in the country deserve gall & Pecognition in a greater degree than Mr. and Mré. Wijigms. They have contributed during the last twelve or fifteen years to the entertainment of thousands on both sides of the Atantic, and have won ali the material rewards of veritable success. A marked en- dorsement of this fact on the part of the public is in every ‘Way proper and just. The arrangements for the benefit of the American Dra- matic Fund Association have nearly been completed, Tne affair is to take place on the 17th of this month at the Aca- demy of Music. There will be a dramatic entertainment of ‘the first class, and all the principal artists of both Italian Opera troupes will aseist. The programme has been ar- ranged by Mr. John Brougham, whose devotion to the Astociation ie, as it always has been, of the warmest cha- racter. Without doubt a very handsoine ‘addition to the fund will be made. On Saturday Mr. Wallack changed the programme ofhis theatre for the first time in ten weeks, and gave to the public’ a three act comedy called “ Leading Strings,’’ and first produced in London in 1857. The come’ dy is a quiet, pleasant picture of English life and man- ners, and will, we think, be acceptable to the audience at Wallack’ Tho hero, Frank Levison (Mr. Lester ‘Wallack), is a banker, young, rich and good-looking. He is devotedly attached to his mother, and has a profound affection for Edih Belfort (Mrs. Sloan), te whom Mrs, ‘Levison (Mrs. Hoey) has givena home. Edithis a young person of good family, but without money, and desires to marry Frank chiefly because he is rich. Mrs. Levison, however, has other views for her enfant gate, desiring to marry bim to his cousin, Miss Mackenzie,a young lady of lively character, and just out of a boarding school. ‘The main point of the play is found in the exceedingly clever way in which the mother manages to keep her son in leading strings, and, at the same time, to direct all his affairs, and finally to marry him to the woman of her choice, The first act is slow; the second a little more agreeable, but not much. Itis in the third act that the intereat of the play really begins. It is here that the shrewd widow, having exhausted all other means to prevent the distasteful match, tries the experiment of shutting up the loving Couple in a country house, The fentleman is very soon bored to death, and the lady reduced to the extreme 0 despair, by ascertaining that one of her discarded, be- cause heretofore impecunious, lovers has falien heir to a great fortune. Frank has fallen in love with Mackenzie in the meantime, and the object of nis primary af- fections ia’ almost detested by him. She is detected by Binnius (Blake), an old servant of the family, making love to her former admirer, and, thanks to his mother’s Smesse, Master Frank is relisved from his engagement, and marries bis cousin. ‘This comedy is not remarkably well construsted, nor is the dialogue exceedingly brilliant. Here and there oue may Giscover @ smart thing or two, but they are fow and far apart. Still the play is interesting as a whole, and some of the characters, such as Mrs. Levieon and the antique butler, are new and well drawn. Neither Mrs. Hoey nor ‘Mr. Blake gave any special artisie individuality to ther characters. Mrs. Hoey was agreeable and ladylike ar ever,and Mn Blake- empeedingly amusing. Mr. Loster ‘Wallack played Frank very cleverly. It is a part 80 weil suited to him that he could not well do wrong: The best performance of the night was that ef Misa Gannon, in ‘Whe fillé ingewae. WW was a chernfing, sunny, wararsi it of acting, and. the play, which was reovived with a modermte @f applause, aud @anounced fer re pettion, The after pece was “Box and.Cox, Married and Settled,” a very clever farce, in which Brougham aad ‘Walcot were both good—the last named art st oxcee tingly so. The programme of Saturday will be repeated om this evening. ‘Jeanie Deana’’ has been very successful at Barnum's Museum. Mrs. Prior’s Jeacie and Mias Mostayor’s Efe will ovmpare vory favorably with those of thelr Slins- trious predecessors up town. The play will be continued during this week. At Mrs, Brougham’s theatre, 444 Broadway, Shoriiav’s comedy, “ The Rivals,” will be played this evening, with several po; olar artiste in the diatribution. At the Bowery theatre, Mile. Wells, the favorably known ¢.<strienne, will commence an engagement this evening, s:ting in “Mazeppa.” A new piece, called “americas Abroad,” and ‘The Pride of tye Market,” will also ke given. Atthe Sew Bowery theatre the emgagement of Miss Cordelia Boward will be continued this week, where “Tho Lamplighter” will be produced and played to night, with two other piece. Mr. George Christy will probably close bis seagon at Niblo’s Saloon about the.first of next month, in order to make the European tour, for which be has arranged. This week « new programme will be given, with “Well, the Sensible Monkey,” in which George will play the “What is It.”? ‘The chief novelty at Bryant’s hae been a burlesque upon the “Stranger,” in which Jerry Bryant and E. Horn are “dreadfully” funny. It will be given all this week, with other good thirgs. The closing of the Opera just prior to the Lenten sca ron is always followed by ennai, felt by its lovers and patrens. The devotees of the Muses either make it a practice to make a thorough atonement for their sins during Lent by fasting and prayer, or else where their past year’s record i# not very dark, to fil) up the hiatus between the old and new Opera seasons with such misocellancous amusements as the metropolitan theatres may present. This year the sincera haye been apparently few, judging from the libe- ral patronage vouchsafed to the managers during a season (Lent) when the receipts are usually expected to be limited. Among those who have contributed to drive away dull care for thirty nights of Lent were the very clever and popular artists Mr. and Mre. Barney Williams, whose appearances at Nibio’s in thelr original and amusing dramas and farces, interspersed with songs and dances, have given entire satisfaction to large and appreciative audiences, and added new laurels to their crown of popa larity. On Saturday night Mr. and Mrs. Williams took » joint farewell benefit, when they appeared in the comedy «The Irish Ambassador,’’ the farce of ‘O’Flanigan and the Fairies,”’ and the extravaganza “Mephistophiles.”” Suffice tosay, the concluding performance of the thirty nighta sea- son was very guccessful, as the encores of the audience fully established. It is rumored thata testimonial ona grand scale ison the tapis, under the direction of some of our leading citizens, to Mr. and Mrs. Williams. ‘The Philharmonic Society of Brooklyn have secured tit services of Signor and Madame Gassier for their next con- cert, which takes place on Saturday, the 1ith inst. Mr. Jantz;, the late organist of Dr. Pise’s church in Syd- ney place, gives his annual concert to-night, at the Brook- lyn Athenaeum. He will be supported by Mrs. Mozart, Madame Chonie, Mi:s Kate Comstock, Miss M. Gallagher, Signor ‘Macaferri, Signor Lotti, Horr Mayer, Herr Wom- lich, Mr. Schreiber, Mr. Morgan the organist, anda host of other well known artists. Buvurrrs.—-That sterling and favorite actor, Mr. Dyott, ‘will have his aunual benefit at Wallack’s theatre on Fri- day evening of this week. It is slated that Miss Elliott, a pupil of Mr, Dyott, who played last year at the Academy in ap amateur performance, and showed consklcrable cleverness, is to. make her début in a regular theatre on ‘this cocasion. ‘We announced some time since the fact that Miss Lizic Petit, of Virginia, a well known eutboress and dramatic reader, had recovered from the effects of the very severe sccident which happened to her Jae+ winter. It will be recollectes thas Miss Potit, whilo stand tpg near a grate, was so severely burned tha at ono period her lifo was despaired of. Sho has now en tirely recovered, and proposes to make her délu{in New “York as a public reader. According to testimonials from such competent critics as Mrs. Mowatt Ritchie, Mr. G. P, R. James, and other literatewrs of note, Mies Potit has every requisite for succes in her ‘undertaking. She comes before the public under circumstances which should cal: out earnest aympathy and a most cordial and generous re- coghiuan. Mr. Harry Peargon’s benetit w!!! take place at tho Win- ter Garden on Thursday evening of this weck. Mr. George Jordan will take his benefit at that theatre, on Tuesday evening of this week. Mrs. Jordan will make her début at the Garden on this occasion. A complimentary benefit is to be given to Messrs. Fox and Lingard, the managers of the New Bowery theatre, on Wednesday afternoon dnd evening of this weet. The affair is in competent hands, and will be a success beyond doubt. The New Bowery is one of.the very best theatres in town—-comfortable, clean, and well ordered in every respect. It receives, as it deserves, no small amount of Broadway patronage. Messrs. Fox and Lingard may be fairly considered as public benefactors, and it is emi- nently proper that the fact should be publicly recognized. ‘Tumsenss, &c., Eiskwoxre.—Mr. and Mrs. Drayton have been doing very well in Boston, at the Melodeon, with their Parjor Operas, but have had some slight difficulty with some of the Academy of Music people, The Dray- tons perform in the Melodeon Hall, which is next to the Academ: ‘was formerly @ portion of the same perty. ie ruowing ‘correspoudenoe hag taken ae ft 00 of: parlor operas, as you sty! for man‘ ‘violating that restriction. ‘They presume that it rng ap ig pe poy ng ell deed to Mr, Acams, Iam directed to call your attention to this, and request that you will discontinue the formanoes.
