' , - i . ' ' , a - ¦ - ' ¦ ¦ •' - ' : ¦ -- ' - Considering , lastly , . That . misfortune and exile do not lessen or interrupt the rigoU . and duties of a People and its representatives ,-but confirm and sanction them : We , Representatives of the "People , Members of the Roman Constituent Assembly , obeying the voice of onr conscience * , and mindful of the wants of the nation , constitute provisionally , and until the People shall be enabled , freely to , manifest its wishes ; an Italian National Committee , composed of the following citizens : — :. - ¦ :

      . Joseph Maszini , ex-triumvir of the Roman Republic , i . -. : Aurelio Safii , idem , Mattfa lloriteeehi , idem , in the Executive Commi : teeof ; the Roman Republic . . And . we entrust them with the mandate , and confer upon them the . power of Contracting a Loan in the name of . the Roman People , and in behalf of the National cause ; and generally of promoting ,

      by . every useful . political or financial act , ' the reestablisbment in Rome of the legitimate authority of the People—empowering them lo add ; to their number if necessary , to or mor&other Italian citizens—and appealing to all-trufeltalians to assist them by every possible means loathe execution of their labour ^ and to conform themselves , " as much-as passible , to any regulations they-Imay issue in the interest of the nation at large ; i . ; • The Committee says .:-r ' " - r

      This honourable mandate was " accepted by the three citizens named in the Act ) who passed together into exile , whilst ^ circumstances . . compelled the third Triumvir of the'R epublic to take refuge in another country . The . elements of action were , as time and means permitted , reorganised : the disbanded Tanks of the National parly , were . rallied aronnd a centre . The , Act . was * not published , because , for a mere preparatory labour no mandate was required , except that' which the state of the country gives to every man endowed with a firm faith , with love , and with a spirit not resigned to slavery ; but it was presented to those of our scattered brethren with whom it was most easy to communicate ; and the signatures of sixty representatives of the Republic were thus affixed to it , as well

      as those of a hundred others belonging to all . the Italian provinces ' and well known to their , fellowcit zens by the offices which they had filled in the National Assemblies of Venice , Sicily , and Naples , and in governments favouring the movement of late years , or by their having served in our , armies . Our labours being now more advanced , we think the time for its publication has .. arrived . A period of new life is now initiated for European Democracy and for the just-cause of the Peoples : a compact has been entered into between the men of thought and of action , belonging to nations , struggling for truth and for eternal right against falsehood and arbitrary power ; and it is important that the Italian National , party should now assume a bolder consciousness of itself , of its strength , and , of its

      mission . .. - . ; - . .:. ¦ :, - . . ... The principles which guide onr action are well known . . They are included in the limits of our mam ae , and confirmed by-multifarious and manifest proofs of the national will : — . - Independence , Liberty , Unification—our object : . War and : an . Italian Constituent ' A 9 » embly—the means . . : The foreigner is encamped on our soil ; . we wish to- eh ; I ? him thence . We are all , more of less , tbe slaves of Institutions and Governments which deaden in us both the diznity and the conscience of

      the citizen ; we wish to be free—all of us—free as God has wished us to b ? .. We are separated from each other bylaws , custom-houses , armies , foreign influences , ambitions , and treaties ; and we wish , to &a united . Free , Hnited , strong in our-brotherhood , we shall provide for our national futurity according to onr tendencies , our present , consciousness , and the counsels of the best amongst us . Our policy is simple , straightforward , free from sophisms and from every Utopia . It has prevailed , and will prevail more and more , over all the studied and complex schemes of local parties or of sects ' .

      A single war can save Italy : but it must be a war of all the regular and irregular forces , of the nation , beaded by men of well-tried love of their country ; directed by a supremcTpdwer exempt from erfc .-y obligation except that of conquering , seeking no reward save that of a pure and satisfied conscience—with no duty entrnsted to it save that of combatting for the general cause—with ho allies save the Peoples in simultaneous movement—with bo programme save that of the National Sovereiznty . Such a war it shall be our endeavour to promote ; we ? will propitiate circumstances , and prepare arm and the co-operation of other Peoples also oppressed , to whom our banner will proclaim , as did that of the Poles , ' For our and your Liberty . '

      And we alone , untrammelled by the ties or influence of diplomacy , having no other obligation except that which we ewe to our country , and no other fear than that of its disapproval , can promote this war . Placed beyond ; all municipal or provincial spirit , we know only Italians ; we can best represent the interests , the rights , the hopes , the wars , and the deitinei of the nation . Men who are free from all constraint tura their eyes , without mis .

      trust or suspicion , upon us in exile . Our banner 13 one of concord and of hope to all oppressed nationalities . Between Rome and Venice , between Pesth and Milan , between Venice and Bucharest , ci'ies of one country , the country of roaryrs and of the believers in one common-future , the Italian National Committee is a ready and acceptable link . It is piri of a vast chain , extending itself wheresoever tbe sense of right and faith in eternal justice lives find moves .

      LYCEUM : THEATRE . - : The newpiece of the White Eood , taken , we believe , from the libretto of Auber ' s opera Lt . Chaperon Blanc , and produced on Monday night , has for its foundation the struggle between the Count of Flanders and the Flemish towns , which stands out so prominently in the history of the middle ageB . Theyoung Count Louis de Male < Mr . G .. Vlning ) carries offthe servant ( Miss Baker ) of a druggist ( Mr . Basil Baker ) of Bruges , with whom a noble of his Court is also in love . This noble , secretly belongs to the democratic party of the "White Hoods , ' . ' which aims at the Count ' s overthrow , and

      he imprndently . makes a confidant of the girls proper lover , , the druggist ' s apprentice ( Mr C . Mathews ) , merely . because the latter has accidentally on his head the cap which is looked upon as the symbol of the party . The Count assumes : the disguise of . his . , own mother that he may throw the damsel off her guard , but relinquishes his vicious designs on being saved from the '' White Hood" conspirators by the zeal of the apprentice . The miseen scene of ^ this piece is very good , but it lacks substance as weU . asropportunity for histrionio display , and the success was but equivocal . An addition has been made to the company in the persons of Mr . Basil _ Baker and Miss Baker , who , respectively , played the parts of the druggist and his servant , and

      promise to be of good service . Another novelty was a short fairy piece , entitled the Romance of the Rose , flight in plot , but elaborate in point of decoration . A misanthropic Count ( Mr . Clifford ) is encouraged in his peculiarity by a malignant spirit , named the King of the Thorns ( Miss Julia St . George ) , who attends him as the Chevalier Le Sombre . The evil influence is counteracted by tbe Queen of the Roses ( Miss Kenworthy ) , who corrects the Count whenever be vents his ill-humour on his servant Hans ( Mr . Suter ) , and by showing him a series of tableaux convinces him that the world is beautiful after all . These tableaux , for the sake of which the piece is evidently produced ; consist of elegant groups , arranged with great regard . to picturesque effect / and

      heightened by the beauty of the young ladies composing them . Each of them is an allegorical representation of one of the four Rosicrucian elements , and the principle of a revolving horizontal circle , familiar to the studio of the sculptor and the audience of poses plastiques , is applied so that the group may be visible on every side . The management of these figureB , which are supposed to be floating in the air , is exceedingly clever . They are not suspended by ropes , but are elevated on inflexible supporters , which are concealed by foliage , or other appropriate means ; the arrangement of the figures is

      by Mr . Beverler , the admirable scene painter of the house , and is one evidence more of his talent in producing elaborate effects . Herr Pigall , a German vocalist , iras introduced in the character of a goat herd , that he might sing a characteristic mountain song , which he accompanied on the ' guitar , and the remarkable use of bis fahttto elicited a double encore . A pretty-air by Mr . Tully , very nicely sung by Miss St . George , received like honours , and the graceful dancing of Miss Rosina Wright was an addition to the pictorial means of attraction . There was great applause at the various tableaux and at the the termination . ¦ ¦ ¦ . - . ¦ .

      , too much attention at home is , after ali i better than attention bestowed elsewhere . The expedient of the congin , on which the plot of this piece depend ? , is neither very wise nor very ingenious . The atory sometimes grows unnecessarily improbable , and there is a tendency to dwell too long on each situation . On the other hand , the dialogue is frequently humourous , and—what "as far more conducive to tbe success of the piece—the acting of Mr . ' and Mrs . Keeley was absolutely perfect . Mrs . Keeley ' s indignant demand of her pattens / that she may depart , when firet she hears the cousin ' s proposal , and is not yet persuaded to consent , and the gradual thawing of Mr . Keeley ' s stern morality on hearing that he -has ; made a compact , are little touches of nature that could notbe surpassed . The pair were loudly demanded at the fall of the curtain .. '

      The Glass in the Htde Park Bmxprxo . — In the original design great care was taken in deciding on the material to be employed .

Paxton ' s design one ¦ would imagine the building committee considered that they were relieved from further responsibility , as the glass now specified for the structure is of the cheapest and commonest description , viz ., sheet g las 3 18 ounces to the foot , or one-sixteenth of an inch thick—an article quite unfit for any roof , especi « lly in sizes 49 inches by 10 inehea , such as are

      employed . There is not a similar instance of cheap glazing in any third class-building to be found ; the fi rst respectable hailstorm -would demolish the whole , if not protected by the canvass outside , but ¦ srfrch could not be permanently retained . The -whole cost of the glass will be only £ 10 , 000 . Surely out of £ 150 , 000 to be paid for the budding , if it remain , something better could have been E ^ F > E £ 3 s & fc » .. tsssis ^ sss . s ^ s S&ttwsatfs'jsws oldrSSSl ?
