      the excellent singing of Miss E . Arden as L > ucius in the burlesque . This favorite actress was in excellent "voice , and gave several parodies set to popular and pleasing airs in an admirable manner . Miss Glara St . Casse , again , worthily earned the loud and frequent applause' of all by her svreet voice and charming delivery of " the airs entrusted to her . We regard her as an immense acquisition to our list of singing actresses , her quality as a vocalist beinp superioreven ( othatof the MissKeeley , of whose debut at the Princess ' s so much was said last week hv ourselves and our contemporaries . On

      Tuesday was produced here a " ballet-farce , " called " Magic Toys . " Had the attempt at farce not been made , the ballet would have been , perhaps , more interesting . The accomplished young danseuse , Miss Xydia Thompson , who has been " starring" with great success on the Continent , and whom Mr . Chattcrton lias been fortunate enough to secure , appeared in its course in several of her prettiest costumes and character dimces ; and such grace and fascination does she throw into her performances that , at the conclusion , she was summoned without any dissentient voice to receive the thanks and merited applause of the company present .

      Haymakket Theatre . —Mr . Walter Lacy , long known and admired as an actor of capacity and good f aste , toi k his benefit on Wednesday night , at the Hay market ,, when he assumed the part of Benedick to the Beatrice of Miss Reynolds . The greatest perversity in either actor or spectator could hardly spoil the enjovnbility of this delightful comedy , so with a genuine Haymarket audience of wellinformed people bent on enjoying themselves , and a smoothly-working company numbering such stars

      as Compton , Cl .-srk , and Reynolds on the other side Of the lamps , the reader may imagine there was no hitch on the occasion of the benefit . Mr . John V . Bridgman ' s capital farce , "TheRifle , and How to use it , " is increasing in < popularity , part passu with rifle incorporation ; and the . Leclercq family , if not interrupted by accident or design , will , it seems to us , carry on ' Hallowe ' en" till a pantomime or an Easter piece dislodges the piece violently from Mr . Buckstone ' s bills .

      The Royal Ceemokse Gardens , which have been opened in conformity with the advertisements , " every evening , wet or dry , " since Good Friday , have closed for the winter after a season which we are given to understand has been as prosperous as it has been long . As ignoring this delightful place of amusement is no longer boyi gout , we may add that the varied amusements ( the Marionette theatricals especially and the horsemanship excepted ) have been'excellent , and that decorum has never been publicly Violated , except by a few aristocratic " gents " and their toadies . The * Sunday promenades seem to have a special attraction for foreigners , who , as all men know , are hopelessly adrift in town on that day ; and we can speak with approving confidence ot the excellent table d'hote , and the general attention of Mr . Simpson and his staff' to all reasonable or justifiable wants and whims of the British public .

      THE GERMAN QUESTION . The following s a summary of the reply given by the Duke of Saxe Coburg to the note addressed to him by the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs , concerning the opinion lately expressed by h" » » a regard to Federal Reform in Germany : —xhe Austrian Cabinet must have misunderstood the words of the Duke , he having only expressed a desire for the union of Germany , which does not render necessary the exclusion of Austria from that union . The Duke , however , as a reigning sovereign , tion that he does not consider

      must make the reserva that an account of words spoken by him is due to any one , and least of alL to another Cabinet ; ino Duke had always most seriously persisted m tne support of Austria by Germany—that such a support had lately been rendered impossible by the imperfections of the Federal Constitution , and by the sudden conclusion of peace by Austria . * i > e wuko expresses a doubt that the Emperor of Austno , Jt or whom , personally , he entertained the highest e ^ eem , had any knowledge of the note that had beenaadressed to him . He , therefore , insists that Ms repiy should bo submitted to the Emperor .

      Postal Accommodation rsr Liverpool . —For nearly three years a correspondence has been going on between the 1-averpool corporation and the Government , as to the best site for a new post-office . Weary of official delays , the council , at their meeting yesterday , adopted a definite resolution :, to the effect that if the Government did not purchase certain land in Dale-street , the site considered most available , by December next , the corporation would proceed with the erection of public buildings for the transaction of municipal business , and other purposes , the erection of such buildings having been postponed to suit the wishes of Government for two years . Should the authorities take the land it will be transferred to them at the cost to the corporation .

      Akultehation qf Cotton , —A deputation from the Liverpool Cotton Brokers' Association has waited upon the American Chamber of Commerce at Liverpool , and presented a memorial , requesting the chamber to use its utmost influence in the United States to remedy the evil complainod of . The memorial stated that the adulteration occurred in all gradations from 30 to 50 per cent , of the weight of the bale , and that it tended to depreciate the cotton far more than was proportionable to the mere weight , of the aand , stones , &c . The Manchester Guardian says : —" The nefarious system of cotton

      adulteration , which has grown up in America , has at length received the formal attention of those gentlemen In this district who are directly interested in the trade . An influential meeting was held 5 n this city on Tuesday , when resolutions wore passed strongly condemning the frauds practised by the United States planters , or their agents , and calling upon the trade to return the impure material , or , as had been successfully done some years ago by the firm with which Mr . IS . Ashworth Is connected , adopt legal measuros to recover damugos for the loss which such practices must necessarily entail upon couuumers , "

      FRANCE . Paris telegrams of this day ( Friday ) give us the following intelligence : The whole of the Mediterranean squadron has not put to sea , as stated . Several frigates only have sailed for the coast of Africa with 6 , 000 men . These troops will be landed at the port of Nemours , formerly Djemma Gazdoual situated seven or eight leagues distant from the ' frontiers of Morocco , and will reinforce the expeditionary corps which is to occupy the district of

      Ouchda . The Catholic clergy of Paris have arranged to give a grand banquet in honour of Monseigneur de Tulle , who preached in two churches on Sunday last in favour of upholding the rights of the Holy See . The reported arrival of Baron Brenier in Paris is not correct , his excellency not having quitted Naples . Lord Cqw . ley and Count "VValewski are expected to arrive in Paris from Biarritz on Sunday next . General Changarnier has fixed his residence at Chagny ( Saone et Loire ) .

      TREATY OF PEACE . Credible information has reached a contemporary that a Treaty of Peace will be concluded between France and Austria on the 10 th or 12 th inst . It is believed that the two great Powers have agreed on the sum to be paid by Sardinia for Lorabardy , as the share of that province in the Austrian National Debt . The question relative to the Duchies is likely to be settled by the sword , for the reactionary party in Central Italy is daily gaining strength and courage . Many Parmese and Tuscan soldiers have recently crossed the frontiers into Austria , and it is very possible that they and the Modena troops will be formed into a corps , and placed at the

      disposal of one or other of the fugitive princes . It is not probable that Austria will actively intervene in order to bring about the restoration of the Dukes , but she will give them the benefit of her influence , which is still great . On the 1 st inst . the officers of the Modenese troops—which are now at Veronaprotested against the proceedings ot the revolutionary government in the Duchy of Modena , but we have not learned that the demonstration lias produced any impression on Farini , who governs the province in the name of Victor Emmanuel The political agitation in Venetia increases , and oven in Verona , the stronghold of the Austrians , the state of public feeling is execrable .
