Entertainments. Manaoeus Have Wisely Ref...
ENTERTAINMENTS . Manaoeus have wisely refrained from the intrusion ofv novelties during the last few days of political e ^ eitenlel ^ t . We have then little important to chronicle in the way of theatricals , sixve the reappearance of Mr . and Mrs . Alfred Wiganat the ADntpiij , in "Still Wttters run Deop , " on JMfoilday last . That jewel of a faroe " tho BuiiffaL Tiger" is also in Mr . Webster ' s biUfor W \ e > wcelc . Her Majesty hoard " Diuorah" in its entirety for the first time on Tueadny evening at Covhnt Gahdkn . Wo are not able , we fear , in our present impression to speak of " Lurline , " tho new Opera by Vincent Wallace , which whs performed on Thursday niglit . On the some
night , too , was given at the Haymarkbt a new comedy by Mr . Tom Taylor , entitled " The Overland Route , " both of which we shall of course notice hereafter . Her Majesty honoured Mr . Buckstone on . Saturday last by " commanding" the lachrymose " Stranger ; " haying a desireto witness Miss Amy Sedgwick ' s ekcqllent performance of Mr * . Haller . Mn PhelpS at Sadler ' s WELts has revived "A New Way to pay Old Debts , " with'an excellent cast , headed ^ by . himself , of Course , aa Sir Giles Overreach . At the Crystal Pai-ace we welcome the first symptoms of Spring at Sydenham—the new series of operatic concerts , and the return of
the Piecolomini from Italy . The pet vocalist was warmly received on Saturda : y by a crowded audience , and sang in no less than six compositions -of the-Italian School , assisted by Signor Aldighieri i the talented young baritone of last season , and Signor Belart . At Jhis day ' s concert Miss Parepa is to be the great attraction . We must not omit to noticb the effect produced at the Palace on recent occasions by the crowds of volunteers in uniform who seek the grounds for practice ,, and contribute to fill up the winter landscape by their presence , and add their bands to the other attractions of the place . It is announced definitely that Lord Ward has arranged with Mr . E . T . Smith of Drury Lane Theatre for the opening this year of Her Majesty ' s Theatres . We should not be surprised were Mr . Benedict to be somehow connected with the enterprise , which is no light one . The second set of Monday Popular Concerts for 1860 , opens at St . James's 1-Ial . l on Monday . The works selected are all from the Italian masters . The firs £ concert for the season of the Musical Society ov Losdoit is on Wednelday next , under the direction of Mr . Alfred Mellon . The programme numbers several highly scientific and interesting works . :. A new series of the elegant Entertainments at the Dudle y Gallery , Egvptian IIai . Ii , by the London Glee and Madrigal Union is annoanoed to commence on Monday next , Eebmary 27 th ; they are to be given every morning , ; and on Moaday and Friday evenings , and will be , as before , under the direction : of Mr . Land . ,
Parliament. Fltilfi Important Announceme...
PARLIAMENT . flTilfi important announcement was on Friday made in the House of * Lords byBarllGRANViLi . E , " that the French Emperor had informed the British Government , if Sardinia s-hould annex Central Italy , Fiance would deem it necessary to annex : soiiie part of Savoy . " The Endowed Schools Bills then came under discussion , previously , however , to which Lord St > Leonards said he " could not agree to that portion of the Bill which gave power to Dissenters to participate in endowed trusts where they had not previously enjoyed that advantage . " The Bill , w ' . th . the exception of the seventh clause , passed through committee . The first party conflict was brought to an issue on Monday . The Chief of the Opposition raised the question by askingthe Government in what sense-Parliamp . nt was to take the . 20 ^ h Article of the French . Treaty , which declared that the treaty would only become valid with the consent of Parliament- ? It was , however , clearly understood that the arena in which
the real combat was to take place was the Lower House . The Earl of Derby placed hjs opposition to the treaty on the ground that it had been carried out contrary to precedent . Earl Gbanvii-le adroitly met this objection . , by stating that the Pitt treaty with France , relied on by the noble Earl , was only a treaty between England and France ; whereas the recent treaty involved provisions whicii extended to the whole commercial world . This distinction , he contendod , made all the difference in the two cases . EnrlGnur , differing from both sides , but more inclining to the Derby view of the issue that had been raised , regretted that Government had not more closely copied the precedent set by Mr . Pitt in his treaty with France . The Duke of Argyii ? wns put up to reply to the noble Earl , and he met his objections by the assertion that present circumstances' made it impossible to place exactly in its course the Pitt precedent . The Government had adopted the best course open to it , and that course , lie conevinced their
tended , was perfectly constitutional . No desire being by Lordships to test the strength of each party furt h er , the pro forma motion of Lord Deruy was withdrawn . Some discussion arose on 'luesday with reference to the constitution of Tasmania ; which , it appeared -from .-.-the remarks of Lord Dubby , the Duke of Newcastle , and Earl Grey , had not worked as desirably in all respects us could be wished . On a motion by Lord Selkirk for papers relative to China , the Earl of Elgin entered into an explanation of his officinl doings in China , and pretty plainly hinted that had he benn supported cordially by the admiral on the station , the present Chinese imbroglio might possibly have never occurred . Friday , the ministerial -night , appears to be now regarded as the night of questions . Mr . Laing intimated that . " time bargains , " or gambling u > the funds * was illegal , but ns . the act applying to the transactions was practically a dead letterand as the penny stamp was to app ly to all
, Stock Exchange transactions , something effectual would bo done to alter the present law . Lord Palmicuston , in reply to Mr . Bentinck , stated that no understanding had been come to with the French Emperor , in the event of the commercial treaty being rejected by parliament . A large number of small questions and statements , on the subject of Riflo Corps , militia , consolidation of the Statute Law ; the propagation of infectious diseases through tUo agency of cabs and other public vehicles ; removal of the India House 5 forgery of trade tnarks-r-wcre disposed of , after which the question of the French Treaty was again renewed by Mr . Stirling , who objected to a commercial treaty being entered into with France , when more constitutional means for attaining tbo same object were open to the high contracting parties . Lord J . IIusjsrli . would mentioned tho
reply next week to this part of tbo case , and then reassuring circuuistanco that the French Emporor bad just declared that unless the people of Savoy desired annexation with France , he should not ; think of such a measure . After a good doal of discussion in referenco to this treaty , which appears to be the hUo noir of tho Opposition , Col , 1 \ HiKRUwaT ' pointed , out tho inconvenience which would aviso in case of warwitJi Franco , if the 11 th Article , which bound England to permit , t )» o exportation of coal , were enforced . Sir H . Caiiins reinarkod that it appeared to him , tho Ministers had advised Hisa Majiostv to exceed her prerogative in concluding this treaty . The subject ot last was suffered to drop , and , tho House wont into a Committee of Supply on tho army estimates . Mr , S . IliiRunnc , in a long and elaborate speech ,
