      ' little prvma donna , who , it is said , intends to reside permanently in England , was very warmly bidden good speed . If not worthy as a finger to be ranked with Grisi , Bosio , Titiens , or Csillag , Madlle Piccolomini leaves us to the full as pleasing" recollections of her dramatic power as we have derived or can expect to derive from the performances of any of those artists . We have seen more to admire than have most of our contemporaries in herZerlina and Z , eonora , but - all have owned the force of her impulsive genius in the " Traviata , " a performance which created a far greater and more enduring sensation than any other of its order within our time , or , we might say , within the memory of contemporary critics . The Piccolomini has , we believe , reaped a golden harvest of such amount from the great public , that she retires with the good will of all into a privacy , where too hesitating critics and too undiscriminating a public are alike unknown . , The dramatic news of the week is small . Mr . Leigh Murray has re-appeared at the ADELrni in " To Parents and Guardians , " apparently as well as ever ; arid Sir William Don , Bart , has been playing successfully in farce at the Lyceum . At the City of London Theatre a Mr . T . C . King , a first-- class actor , who has gained a considerable reputation . in Dublin , made his appearance in Hamlet , and has since played Othello and Claude Melnotte . He is more accomplished than passionate ; he has , however , considerable merit , and if his class of drama were in vogue , he would establish himself on the metropolitan boards . At the Standabd Mr . Dillon is starring , and plays his famous part of BelpJiegor with great spirit and pathos . Miss Marriott is also here , and has become a great favourite with our east-end friends . :

      Parliament. O N Friday Their Lordships T...

      PARLIAMENT . O N Friday their Lordships transacted no business of public interest , though several important pieces of legislation were fdr-1 warded a stage . On Monday Lord Ebtjey moved a humble address to Her Majesty , praying that the present site of Smithfield be appropriated in . a manner to conduce to the health and recreation of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood . The way his Lordship proposed that these matters should be effected was to convert the open space into a place-where grown people and children could recreate themselves . Earl Gbanvilue said , though part would be converted into -a dead meat market , a portion would be . . left open , bufc what its destination was to be' had not yet been determined upon . On the question of the National Education System " in Ireland , the Earl of Cxancabty moved for certain returns connected with the subject , in order to bring before their Lordships his opinion that the system had failed , and that it was necessary , therefore , some change should be made . The Earl of Cork said all the old arguments had been reproduced by the noble Earl , who wished to overthrow the entire national system , and , of course , to throw more power into the hands of the Roman Catholic priests . The system had not failed , nor was the necessity for change at all clear . The Bishop of Carlisle thought the proposition of the Roman Catholic Bishops on the subject was insi-—dfoiiBTTaTid-h ^ dHbfeeir-properly-Tejected—by-GoYernmentr—The-Eavlof Carlisle said Government intended to adhere to the national system . Viscount Lifford approved of that system , and hoped the clamourers for change-would be disappointed . After some further discussion , in which the Bishop of Debby , the Earl of Donottghmobe , and the Earl of Belmore took part , the motion , was agreed to . In reply to a question Lord Woi ^ ehottse said , the * proposition for a European Conference on the annexation question had been finally agreed to . —On Tuesday Lord Lynphtjbst called attention to the important question pf keeping up a sufficient naval reserve . His lordship , referring evidently to the unsettled aspect of European politics , and drawing a comparison between the naval strength of France and England , declared that as a defensive measure only , it was essential that we should keep up a larger reserve of seamen than we had at present . The Duke of Somerset , on the part of Government , assured the noble lord that all sides were agreed as to the necessity of making the uavy as efficient as possible . The Earl of Habdwicke pointed out the difficulty in the way of manning the navy suitably . The Lord Chancellor said the law of impressment was still in force , but he hoped there would never be any necessity to resort to it . — In the Commons on Friday , the business was of a varied character . In reply to Mr . Buxton , who wished to know what steps Government had taken with reference to the traffic in coolies , Lord John Russell replied that measures were actively in progress to put a stop to the traffic . Mr . Mildmay brought under notice certain allegations of gross misconduct on the part of Indian Cadets , in a mosque at Cairo . Colonel Sykes believed the accusation wna totally unfounded . Sir Charles Wood , however , snid ho had received an official statement of facts from the Consul General , and he regrettedto say "that the chnrgo ngninst the Cndets was in the main correct . The Government ) iad ordered an inquiry into the circumstances , with the view of bringing offenders to justice and of preventing such scnndnls in future . The electoral returns , about the accuracy of which eo much doubt has been created , was referred to by Mr . Villiers , who reasserted their general trustworthiness . Sir J . Pakinoton strongly impugned the accurncy of the returns , and this gave rise to a discussion , in which members took opposite sidoH . Savoy and the Conference were brought forward by Mr . D . Griffith , the object of which was to ascertain whether Government intended to acquiesce in the taking possession by France of the neutral teed provinces as well as the ceded portion of Savoy . Lord John

      Rttssell , in aii undecided explanation , said a Conference would uo doubt take place , but previous to which , he regretted to say , that it was very ' likely France would absorb the neutralized provinces . The Church Rate struggle then commenced . Sir J . Tkelawney having moved the third reading of the Bill , Mr . Whiteside immediately moved an amendment that the Bill be read that day six months . After a lengthened speech against the Bill Mr . Bright replied to Mr . Whiteside , and instanced Ireland ' Scotland , and Wales as proofs of the advantages of the voluntary system . He considered that it would strengthen the position of the Established Church if the source of ill feeling ^ created by Church Rates was abolished . Mr . Disraeli did ^ not think the instances of the voluntary system , adduced by Mr . Bri & ht , worth much The case of Birmingham was opposed to Mr . Bright s conclusions . He emphatically warned the House against weakening our social fabric at such a moment by diminishing the authoritv of the Established Church . The House divided , and the third reading was carried by 235 to 226 , a narrow majority of 9 . — Monday saw the resumption of the adjourned debate on the Reform Bill Mr Bentinck condemned the Bill on account of its inefficiency , and its dangerous tendency . The Bill had been brought m by the noble Lord without the concurrence of any of his colleagues , and had given satisfaction to no party . Mr . Walters believed that the Bill would disappoint the expectations of friends , and the anticipations of enemies . If the Bill passed he trusted it would not be without suitable amendment and improvements . Lord J . Manners in a long address alleged various reasons why the Bill was not a good measure in itself , and not such as was wanted by the people of England , or needed as essential to the just working of our Constitution . Mr . Hodgkinson said both sides were pledged to Reform , and the sooner the question was settled the better . Mr . Hopwood considered that Government would do well to withdraw at once such an imperfect measure . Mr . Caird would support the Bill . Mr . B . Cochbane would oppose it . Mr . Ueqxthart was rather more for than against the Bill Mr . Clay thought that amendments might be made in Committee . Mr . Mills said the statistics of the debate were that twenty-ninejspeeches had been made-against the Bill ; two for and twelve neutral . Mr . Locke was _ in favour of a lodger franchise . This closed the debate for that evening . —Sir C . Napieb , on Tuesday , drew attention to the necessity of a properly constituted manning the Navy commission . Lord F . Paget replied to the covert censure implied in Sir C . Napieb ' s motion for an address to Her Majesty , and after explaining the position of our navy , and what ¦¦ . was in contemplation in order to add to its efficiency , the motion was withdrawn . The other portion of the evening was occupied with a discussion on the Berwick > on-Tweed election . —Wednesday Lord Raynham moved the second , reading of the Bill for adding corporal punishment to the penalties for aggravated assaults on women and children . After an animated discussion the second reading was carried by 139 against 85 . -
