      The Crystal Patace.—--Sunday Opening. Th...

      ^ _ . JJ ^ ^ ^ MBjMBbIM recognised a public entertainment as that of Mr . Albert Smith or Miss P . Horton . The great difficulty of a good start has been overcome . The train is at fair speed , and it rests with the very capable entrepreneurs to keep up the steam . We assisted at the perfoifmance on Monday evening last ; and were , as usual , delighted with the lady ' s masterly execution a fo Sims Beeves of two charming ballads . It ia surprising , moreover , that singing tenor seem ^ in no ; way to affect Mrs . JPaul ' s higher notes . The " Bowld Soger 3 py , " a quaint Irish air , wherewith she illustrates her touching personation of Molly Doolan , the Irish nuree-girl , was , as it deserved , enthusiastically received ; and no less successful , in its way ^—despite a severe cold and nervous depressionwas Mr . Paul's " Staley Mildew , " with its appropriate version of « Why did my Sarah sell me ?•" The decorations of the lower St . James's-hall , in which this entertainment is given , are neat and appropriate . There is ample and lofty space , good ventilation , and the room being on the ground-floor access and exit are agreeably easy .

Preparations on a grand scale are going on . Several regiments have received orders to hold themselves in readines * for Rome , and not a reliable word has been uttered to allay the panic .

      THE KING OF NAPLES , The Morning Post announces the receipt of a telegraphic despatch from Vienna , announcing the death of the King of Naples , which took place yesterday ( Thursday ) .

If , as stated , the news had reached Paris yesterday , it is very strange that none of the correspondents in that place , writing last evening , have the least allusion to the news .
