    rapidly being occupied by the Sardinians , between , whom and the forces under Garibaldi a junction was proximate , Rome being hemmed in on all sides . Lamoriciere , on the other hand , was said to be attempting-, with liis 9 O 00 men , to join the Neapolitan troops who had not yet abandoned the King ' s cause * in which event his sirrny would be considerably increased . At Yiterbo a rising of the population had been reported , which French troops had been sent from Civita Yecclna to quell . Things being in this position , Lamoricierc , with 11 , 000 men , determined to attack General Cialdini near Castelfidardo , while a column of 4 , 000 troops made a sortie in his favour from Ancona . ± ne result was the total rout of Lamoriciere , the capture of 600 prisoners , including General Pimodan , six pieces of artillery , a flag , and a quantity of munitions and military stores . TJie fleet under the Sardinian flag had opened fire upon Ancona . ^ _ . „„; . „ , „ wi tialmost the whole Pontifical itulatedThe

    , After this event army cap . Foreign ti-oops , it was understood , would return to their own countries . Lamoriciere , with scarcely a follower , succeeded in reaching Ancona , through the defiles of Monte Canaro . All the remnant of the Pontifical army were cooped up in Ancona , not a handful of stragglers undispersed or untaken being found outside . On Wednesday evening , occurred the death of General Pimodan . It is asserted that Garibaldi , in respectful but energetic terms , has demanded of Victor Emmanuel the dismissal of Cavour and Farini , as the sine qua non of an entente cordiale . The King ' s reply had not been divulged : great agitation was exhibited at Turin . Garibaldi has required 30 , 000 Sardinian troops to garrison . Naples . The head quarters of the Sardinian army in the Marches had been established at Tolentino . General Masi ' s column was " operating" towards Yiterbo . At Terni the population had risen in armsand a Provisional Government , been established ; .

    , The Sardinian government has addressed a general memorandum to the various foreign courts through the ostensible medium of its accredited agents Justifying , the entry into the Marches with an armed force - the grounds of justification stated are that it was an interference in the cause of order , and intended to control the " revolution" that could not be prevented . In this document Garibaldi is called " illustrious , " and it even , goes the length of say ing . that " his glorious exploits recall all that poetry and history record . " A " special communication , to France seemed to have oozed cut , taking the saiiie line of argument , and adding that Garibaldi ( the . « * illustrious , " & e ., ) had significantlyhinted , that unless Sardinia took the step she-has done , he would at once march upon Rome . Apropos of Rome , the state of the Pontifical exchequer was said to have Tendered a disbanding ot troops necessary , . , _ ¦ ¦/ , _ . . -. I _ ,: ^ . _ ,. . of Austria and Russia is in the most

    The rapprocheriient progressing approved style . " Austria" gave a grand banquet in honour of " Russia ' s" birthday , in response to a similar compliment that had been received from his worthy confrere , and drank " Russia's" health with three times three . " France , " it is said , looks excessively awry at all these symptoms of cordiality , and is even said not to relish the idea of " England ' s" intended visit to her son-in-law ¦¦ ' . ' Prussia , " Meanwhile the march of events goes on quite irrespective , as regards the average results :, and the ultimate issues of European affairs—of the moves and combinations of the political chess-board , and all its ephemeral plumes . . „ ¦ , . The Austrian " Council of the Empire" is unanimously of opinion thai *< something must be done" with regard to the relaxing that system by . which " religious freedom" and " liberty of conscience " at present heJd completely in abeyance . protestants seem disposed to agitate for a revision of the Concordat , and to be satisfied with nothing lessthisis merely aquestion ' xif time .:

    ; , The pr 6 ss of Prussia deprecate the lending of aid to Austria in case of her attempting to re-establish "legitimacy , " ( that very illegitimate and pinistrous descendant of " right divine" ) in Italy , arid the press of Germany declares that Austria does not intend attempting any such thing ; A wonderful symptom of reform has just been made manifest in Austria . As an experiment , but nothing more—it is said , the Government is actually about to adventure a trial of verbal examination of witnesses in the Courts for administering justice in maritime and mercantile matters . But this is . not all ? should the experiment succeed the same " innovation" will be introduced into othor Courts of Justice . Austria really seems destined , in course of time , to cease being 1 a medweval state , and to adopt the usages of modern

    civilisation . . . ' . ¦ , Another attempt against the life of the French Emperor is reported , and this tinae from Toulon , where a person levelled a pistol at him , but ? a female present threw up the arm of the intending assassin , who , it is given out , ia a lunatic . 3 ? he French Ewiperor arrived ot Algiers early in the week .

    Water , " in which Mr . Buckstone and Mr . Compton sustain their well known characters . To return to Miss Ilaydon , she has a prepossessing appearance , a pretty face , an elegant figure , evinces intelligence in her reading , and seems to understand stage business well , and to have been carefully educated for her profession ; she is in ¦ every , respect a promising -astress .- Next Monday Miss Amy Sedgwick , having , we arc happy to hear , recovered frora her indisposition , will appear in Mr . Edmund Falconer ' s new and successful play of" Does He Love Me . " Olympic Theatee , —Mr . Horace Wigan ' s new farce , " Savage as a Bear , " already announced by us as forthcoming , was produced here on Monday . The pivot on which the piece turns is analogous to that of a French piece , the title whereof being translated is" The Bengal Tiger . " One Mr . Gh-iffin ( Mr . F . Robinson ) , vho might have been a real instead of a fabulous animal , and . called Mr . Brewin ( for he is the "bear , " ) is a man of jealous proclivities , and suspects his wife ( personated by Miss Marston ) of exercising the " Sovereignty of the individual" ( vide two to her bow

    Mill " On Liberty , " ) to the extent of having strings ( beau ?) even after the sedative operation of matrimony . The " favoured" individual lie suspects to be a very proximate neighbour , one Jeremiah Jujube ( a good name for a sjreei-heart certainly ) , represented by Mr . H . Wigan . To remove the cause of her husband ' s anxiety , Mrs . Grriffin writes for Jujube , with the view of intreating him to make himself scarce , he being , somehow or another , always turning up , though quite " promiscuously ' ( to employ a cockney figure of speech ) under the jealous husband ' s nose . But this is only a transition from the frying-pan into the fire , for Jujube leaves his stick behind him , which is eagerly pounced upon by Griffin as tile proof positive , which he has loag ° been eagerly seeking , of—his own shame . Jujube , returning for his stick , is frightened out of his wits , and out of the house , by Griffin ' s violence , leaving yet additional proofs of his second appearance , At length , things being at the worst , begin to mend ; the truth is flashed upon , the Griffinian mind and all is satisfactorily settled . The author was called for at the end of the piece , and announced it for repetition .

    Stkasd Theatre . — -On Monday the performances of this . house wound up with Messrs . Yates and Harrington ' s new farce " Hit him he has no friends . " Mr . Rodney RicTcetts ( Mr . J . Rogers ) a very respectable but very timorous trunk maker , of Tooley-street , is about to marry in haste that he may repent at leisure , a young lady named Miss "Verner , whose brother Edward having seen an advertisement oifering a reward for another Kick etts , who has deserted : hia wife and three , children , mistakes his sister ' s lover for the man , arid proceeds'r irst to thrash him almost to death , and then to follow him with a brace of Col . Colts

    rifled pistols , to eflect his utter destruction . Poor Rodney runs away to Cantetrbury where his lady-love , having discovered the mistake follows , but luckily for the audience , who thereby would , lose no end of fun , she is not able to clear up the matter until a variety of laughter-exciting incidents have occurred . Rodney ' s fright causes him to be taken for a inadman , and the " Boats " of the " Red Lion , " Joe C'rabbs ( Mr . H . J " . Turner ) , who belongs slightly to the Savers and Heenan school , and gives some manifestation of his proficiency in the " noble art , " is deputed to keep watchand ward over . him till his friends come to fetch him . This conduct on the part of " Boots" naturally appears so strange to Rodney , that he in turn takes Joe for a madman . Upon this hinges a vast amount of drollery . But the unhappy denizen of Tooley-street is not near the end of his troubles yet . In comes Mr . Ricketts , and the three " orphans , " two * of whom clutch him by the legs , each taking one , while the third in the shape of a baby in long clothes is thrust into his arms . At length the mother " recognises" . a stranger—to use an Hibernianism- ^ in the person of her supposed husband . In addition to tij . 13 shock to the cockney ' s nervous system Edward Verner rushes in "with his " Colts , " and instead of a baby , Mr . Ricketts find a pistol thrust on his reluctant acceptance thia time , wherewith he is to mix in deadly conflict with his pursuer ; but his hand shakes so , it goes oil" , frightening him half to death with the notion that he has shot himself . Tho noise , however , brings Miss Yemcr and others to . the spot , and upon , the principle that all is well that ends well , every body is satisfied , not forgetting the audience , which was crowded and exuberant in its applause . In the bu ^ etta of " Fra piavolo , or the Beauty and the Brigands , " that incordparable danseuse , Miss Rosina Wright , whose stylo is remarkable alike for spirit and for grace , for Vivacity , elegance , and vigour , went through some of her saltatory exploits to the immense delight of theaudienoe . The other pieces were " The pet Lamb" ( notices in detail in our last number ) , and " Observation and Flirtation . THE STA 2 CD . AJIP Tdceatke ;—Mr .
