THE ITALIAN QUESTION. The French Evacuation of Rome, {From the London Times, September 25. ‘This day brings round the second anniversary of that Paris convention between France and Italy, by the terms of which the Emperor Napoleon engaged to withdraw his troops from Rome. A considerable part of the im- perial garrison has already left that city, and it is under- stood that the evacuation will be complete by the 9th of Ds ber. Meanwhile the #o-calied Franco-Pontifical Legion, 1,205 men strong, was to embark last Thursday at Antibes for Civita Veoehia, on board the French steamer El Dorado, On Sunday last General d’Au- relle, the officer fn command of the Ninth French mili- tary division, delivered the Legion into the hands of the Pontifical commissioners, General de Courten and M. Massim\, the Military sub-intendent, * * s After fully eighteen years of the most painful ex- rience, the Emperor Napoleon must be aware that ho ves at this day the Roman question precisely on the same terms it was when he took it up in 1848, The Pope bad at that juncture been left at the mercy of his subjects, and political passions had risen so high ronnd the Vatican that an expedition to Rome, meant to screen the Pope from personal outrage, was justified in the opinion of all reasonable men. Anything beyond personal protcc- tion and a safe retreat from the midst of his revolution- ized subjects could not and should not have been ex- tended to the Pope. All efforts to prop up or reform his government were made in vain, and their ntter futility is now emphatically acknowledged. The Pope will soon once more in the hands of his subjects, and were these deter- mined to be rid of him, it 1s doubtful whether even the 1,205 hirelings from Antibes could do more for their new Sovereign than favor his second flight. The Pope can bea Sovereign on no other terms than those of the boundless protection of a foreign Power; and we do not see Low (his protection can ever be found compatible with his pretensions as a self standing potentate. We hea that “the supreme spiritual office of the head of the Church requires for its free and full exercise the perfect mdependence of his person;’’ that ‘the independence of his person cannot be secured without exemption from all temporal snperiors;"’ that ‘this exemption requires a sphere of his own; but for all that we are not con- vinced either that Papal sovereiguty, and sovereignty in Rome, is a necessity, or that such a sovereignty fuliils the condition of securing the personal independence of the Pontiff or the free exercise of his office, * ® # Are not the Romansmen? Why should they, against their consent, in spite of the protest they have entered against their fate for a thousand years, be sacri- ficed to the exigencies of a fencied * independence,” of a fictitious “exemption” of the Head of the Church from all temporal superiors? It is his temporal sov- ereignty, and nothing else, that makes the Pope's posi- tion. precarious, aud dependent on the good pleasure now of an Austrian, now of a French monarch, now of a French military commander, now of a mere civil com- missioner, and presently of the Chief of the Antibes inervenaries, However true it may be that Emperors and Countesses have given ihe soil of Rome to the Pope, it is equally undeniable that Providence has not given him the heart of the Romany. There ts, we firmly be- lieve, no instance in the world of another community that hos tasted so lomg asx the Papal government with so strong and dep-roted and unconguerablean antipathy on the part of the subjects, THE ENGLISH TURF. The Great St. Leger Day—Scenes onthe Rond to the Grand Sporting Muster. (Doncaster Course (Sept. el A sigan “sata of London 08 Attempts have often becn made to inctitnte compari- fone between the great summer meetings in the south of England and the rooing “carnival” which js annually held on the Doncasten Town Moor. All such efforts fail im the most signal and unmistakable manner; for there js nothing in common between Epsom and Doncaster, or between the thousands of people who congregate to wit- ness the Derby and those who flock to note the final strnggle between the three year old cracks of the season jo the Leger. The excitement and uproarions “demonstration’? of tie masses on the Surrey hills, the Tefinement and elegance of Ascot, and the luxuriance of Goodwood have no like in the county of broad acres, where the love of horses is the predominant trait of the Batives, and itis manifested 0 early that the first and and faverite Nspings of young children are the namee of be xem Dutchman, Blair Athol or the otber heroes of “t Lezer.”” The Yorkshireman is a bandy, and it might also be raid @ stern sportaman, pursuing bis pastime from the innate love of 118 objects and reeulte, while in the south of England, it must be admiited, the great days of the tert season are celebrated amidst surroundings of mean- ingiess vulgarity, or the opposite extreme of flaunting fasbion and janguid effeminacy.

We bave now traced the porition of the varions can- didntes up to the ere of the race, and may d ton of the incidents of the St, Leger day as fully os the carly departure of the afternoon train and the prevalent will enable us. As already ineniened » telegrams of ine latest betting on Tuesday night, Lord Lyon's status was decidedly weakened, owing fo the deirimental reports whieh hai Iy ‘put about ' as to the manner in which work In the morning. His backers of- an bt don bin, and bookmakers pro- claimed in etentorian voices the strict determination to “take odda,”” varied by some into the somewhat face. tious phrase of “Odds I'll take,’ Odds of 550 to 400 were the best his supporters would lay, and for some time Savernake, or “Saverenake,”’ as the Ring men pro- nonnced it, Was a Worse favorite. The mystery concern- ing him, however, cleared ap at a later period of the evening, when he wa@ backed in hundreds of pounds down 02, a certain noble lord bemg, as already mentioned, his most cordial supporter, Westwick was in renewed demand down to 20 to 1, and a» signifiennt move was made againet Rustic, who declined to 11 to 1, and at the “eleventh hour’ a weil known bookmaker, in ) determined Lostility, offered “1,000 to 1'" against the son of Stockwell and Village Lae, an operation whieh fore- shadowed the sensation “knocking” out of Rustic on the 2k Leger morning.

The Duke of Beaufort would have strock out Rustic weeks ago, but was deter- mined not to throw a chance away, as there was no tell- ing in such a “rotten field’? what would happen to give him @ chance. Ajthough some strong remarks were made, we are bound t@say, in justice to an unblemished sportsman, that his Grace has for some time dissuaded the public through the press from giving any support to the third in the Derby Conrequent on the complete knocking out of Rustic at the rooms, odds of 7 to 4 were laid on Lord Lyon, and an advance was made among the ranks of the outside division, Westwick being backed at 12 to 1 freely when it wos ascertained that Fordbam would ride John Scott's champion, ARRIVAL AND PARADE OF THE HORSES, As the hour approached for the decision of the St. Leger the excitement became intense among all classes. Lord Lyon and Savernake arrived in readiness for their second great engagement just before the first race, and they were walked about in the sadd!ing paddock, or rather stubble, in the rear of the grand stand, followed ‘by groups of gazers anxious to obtain a glimpse of the cracks even before they stripped for battle, ‘The St. Leger was appointed for a 4 eres past three, and when the telograph board was hoisted it exhibited eleven runners, the most conspicuous by his absence being “poor Rustic.” After tho preliminary canter, in which exception was taken to the profuse and nervous manner in which Westwick sweated, the Jot were paraded by Mr. McGeorge past the stand in the following order:—Emigrant, Podargus, Harefield, Westwick, Sealskin, Knight of the Crescent, Lord Lyon, Savernake, Strathconan and the Young Mel- bourne colt, They were then led to the starting post, when Mr, MeGeorge gave the signal, and the competitors got away at the first attempt, amidst a roar of excite- ment from all parts of the course, ‘The race is fully described bolow, and {t will be suffi- cient to state bere that Lord Lyon won a magnificent finish (in which Custance rode superbly) by a head from Savernake, so that the issue was ‘the Derby over again.

In accordance with the etiquette of proces- sions generally, tho least important member appeared in front—Emigrant lending the way. Singular to say, Lord Lyon and Savernake passed by in company, and iu tho same order which they took on Epsom Downs—the same order that they were dee- tihed subsequently to take to-day.

Edward Mollenhauer’s First Conservatory Matinee, The handsome and elegantly fitted-np hall of the Mu- sical Conservatory of Mr, Edward Mollenhauer, in Schu- berth’s building, on Broadway, was crowded on Wednes- day afternoon, on occasion of the first classical matinéa of the season, Edward, Henry and Bernard Mollenhauer and Emil Gramm played the beautiful quartet of Beethoven, opus 18 in A major in splendid style, Mr, Edward Mollenhauer played a chaconne for the violin, by J. S. Bach, the exe- cution of which entitles him to the very first place among the violinists of America, Bach’s style is so broad and large that even ina solo there ie massiveness and harmony euch as no other composer would attempt, and in every work he has but one sole idea which per- meates it from beginning toend, From the first meas- ure to the closing chords there isa perpetual develop- ment of this one idea, and a continuous theme without rest until the end. The chords in the chaconne (a little simple melody) present extraordinary difficuities for the performer. In many parts the four strings are brought simultancously into play, That Mr, Mollen- hauer sneceedead in such a remarkable piece, Is a svfficient guarantee of his powers as a great artiste, Mr. Henry Mollenbaver, one of our best violoncellists, played an Ave ‘Maria, by Franz chubert, with exquisite taste and ‘feeling, The effect of this charming melody was sadly marred by the piano accompaniment. The plano, a Leipsic instrument, seemed to have no strings, for the bammers had the same effect as if they strack the sound board, or any other piece of wood, insiead of the strings, If that isa sample of the only kind of Earopean piano that we can got over here at present, then for the sake of art let us have American instruments instead, Miss Pauline Good- bim and Bernard Mollenhauer played a soucta (opus 24), by Beethoven, in excellent style, The lady, a pupil of the Conservatory, deserves much praise for the correct- her excention, Further than that, with such a piano, she could not be expected to do. The best of the entire programine was a trio in B flat for piano, violin and cello, by Schubert. It was played by Messrs J, N, Pattison, Edward and Hen:y Moilenhauer, The third part—scherzo—presenis immense difficulties to the pianist. Mr Pattison, who bas recently returned from Europe, and has also recovered from’ a severe fit of sickness, did full justice to this brilliant gem of Scha- bert, That he could make anything out of it with such a miserable instrument as the Le psic one is a success sich ag none but a first class artiste could accomplixh, The matinée was a coniplete triumph in a musical point of view, These concerts will be given twice a mouth during the season. Italian Opera—French Thertre. Rigoletto, Verdi's greatest and most successful work, was prodaced at the French Theatre on Thursday evening by \'r Draper's company, It was a pity that tho. first impression on entering was a bad one, from there being acomplete iack of programmes, and thereby a corres. ponding ignorance on the part of the publc as to the distribution of paris. The plot of the opera is gencrally known, It is a rehash of Victor Hugo's Le Roi s'amvuse, and similar to the piece The Fool’s Revenge, taken from the Freneb play. The part of G:!da, the baifoon's danghter, was taken by Miss Emily Boughton, who has already appeared in Italian opera, This young lady much praise for the manner in which sa a ied has yet much to conquer in the way of Dhie reqnires much wore stage practic ed to appear as a .

How often bave the professor and amateur sat in one of the little secluded arbors communing with the mighty epirite that now spoke ip trumpet tone and again marmured in zephyr strain every passion and sentiment that sway the homan heart!

Mr, Thomas bas met with the moet grat.fying and deserved snocess, There is no artiet that bas worked more faithfully and consctentionsty for the pubite and art than he, and the wonderful proerees made by mouse in the metropolis is mainly owing to him, Ne: immer be will revive the den concerts ples reale, and, with arden, the Park and the splendid wew Garden of Art, there will be no lack of music and entertainment wo those who preter to spend the summer in the city The rehearsals for the symphony soires will shortly commence, and tue third season will open Oct, 20 at Irving Hail. The success of the first two seasons has been such that the director is encouraged now to combine choral with orchestral works, and Increase the strength of bis orchestra, embracing all available first class in- stramentalists, Mr. Thomas bas worked loug and in- defatigably in the cause of music, and has broaght ovt some of the best works of the old masters, and the goms of the modern schools also.

French comic opera admirably illustrates the vivacity of that nation, Light, merry, and sparkling, both music and dialogue bubble over with wit and humor. In no other language, and with no orher composers or artista, can the same eflect be produced, and our best English comic operas are but imitations or reminiscences at best of the French schoo}, The want of such an element of mirth and ainusement has been long felt in the metropolis, The only approach to it we have had, with the exception of Mr. Exchberg’s excellent works, were extravagangas in which the music, if it deserved the name, was of the most patchwork and commonplace order, and the vocalists worse still, Mr. Juignet is about to supply the want of genuine comic opera, His newly organized company arrived here from Paris im the steamer Ville de Paris on Thursday, and will commence a season of come opera, comedy, vandeville and drama at the handsome little temple of the Muses on Fourteenth street, The French theatre is exactly suited for such a etyle of entertainment.
