THE admirable comedian Bouffe, whose state of health has long been considered nearly hopeless, has surprisingly recovered, and will shortly again resume his duties on the Paris boards. IN consequence of difficulties which have arisen be• tween M. Perrin and the Dramatic Authors' Society, he has deemed it expedient to resign the manage ment of the Paris Theitre Lyrique, the privilege of which is now consequently in abeyance. THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT has revoked all the permissions it had granted to Russians or Poles to exhibit their productions at the Paris Universal Ex hibition of 1855, and has at the same time prohibited all Russian subjects from making any purchases, either directly or indirectly, at the Exhibition. 1111Ims. RACHEL is announced to make her rentrie at the Francais to-morrow (10th), as Camille, in Horace. Bressant will reappear in about six weeks, and comes back in a new piece. Madame Plessy's rent,* will not take place for some months to come. AT Turin, a new opera, by M. Cagnoni, entitled Ainori e Trappolo, has been well received at the Team Gerbino. Mme. Lipparini, the prima donna, is well spoken of ; and the other performers, Messrs. Errani, Bonafous, and Frizzi, are also eulogised. AT the Carignano a drama has been produced called L'Assedio di Silistria, in which Turks and Russians perform prodigies of valour. One of the principal episodes is a love-passage between the daughter of Mussa Pacha and a son of the Russian general, the marriage of the lovers concluding the piece. M. RICHARTZ, a munificent citizen of Cologne, has given 100,000 thalers for the building of a mu seum in that city. He has received all the honour due to such an action at the hand of the municipality of Cologne, and the building will be begun forth with, that the worthy patriot may live to see what he has so pfaiseworthily originated. THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF BERLIN held an extraordinari public sitting on the 24th ult., to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the day when Baron Alexander de Hum ooldt was elected member of it. A colossal bust in marble of that illustrious man was placed in the hall where the sittings are held, in honour of the occasion. A CIVIL WAR of no mean proportions is at this moment raging between the French journalists and the management of the Grand Opera. On the open ing night last week all the representatives of the public press, without exception, were turned away from the doors, and informed that the free-press admissions were altogether suppressed. A day or two afterwards the editors of several j Jurnals were sent for by the Director of Public Safety, who told them that the refusal to admit the press on the first night was owing to a regretable mistake, that the Minister of State had resolved to put the free list of the imperial theatres on a new footing, but had not had time to communicate his final decision to the manager of the Opera. It was intimated that in future only one ticket would be given to each journal, instead of two or three, as has been customary; and there is a report that, instead of the boxes and stalls, which have heretofore been secured for the leading journals on the first night of a new piece, simple tickets of admission will be given—the bearers being left to take their chance of finding a place. The journalists are by no means satisfied with the Go vernment explanation of the affront put upon them on the opening night of the Opera, and they resent the proposed curtailment of their ancient privileges. They are indisposed to accept as a favour, grudgingly granted, what they have looked upon as a courtesy sufficiently reciprocated by gratis advertisements and critical notices. The journals have accordingly pre • served a complete silence as to everything produced there since the dispute began. THE Moniteur cites a despatch of General of Algeria, from which it appears that a na tive who quitted Timbuctoo in the early part of June has declared that he met, two Europeans there clothed in Arab costume. One was of a stature above the middle height: he had a light beard, and he commonly used a lorgnon of blue glass. The other, who was a little less tall, had a brown beard, rather dark. It is probable that these two Euro peans were Dr. Barth and M. Vogel. If this is so, this is the most recent news that has been received conceraing those travellers. According to the testi mony of the Arab, they were both under the protec tion of the Sheik En-Nebigh des Tonareg, chief of the tribe of the Haalen, a powerful and formidable man, possessed of several houses at Timbuctoo, one of which be had placed at the service of the tra Yellers. GRISI AND MARIO arrived at New York in the BaUic on the 19th ult. The Musical Fund Society had chartered a steamer to meet them with a select company of ladies and gentlemen, but the early ar rival of the Baltic took them by surprise. Ws read in the Revue dts Beaux Arts that M. Chardigny, the eminent sculptor, has by no means THE PRESS. abandoned his design for a colossal statue of Shaks peare, which is to be erected on Primrose-hill. " France," remarks the Revue, " inventive and prodigal by nature, gave London its tunnel: it would be curious if she should endow England with a statue of the Olympian Shakspeare. British pride must not take offence at this excess of liberality, remembering our proverb, On ne prite qu'auz riches." THE FESTIVAL OF THE `THREE CHOIRS" Com menced at Worcester on Tuesday last, and was continued during Wednesday and Thursday, with a variety of performers. The principal singers were Clara Novello, Castellan, Mrs. Weiss, Viardot Garcia, Sims Reeves, Lockey, Gardor,i, Mr. Weiss, and Herr Formes; and the band and chorus exceeding 300 performers. Miss Dolby was to have sung, and actually came to Worcester, but was prevented by indisposition. The festival was aided by magnificent weather, and attracted a crowd of visitors from all parts of the country. As far as the pecuniary results are concerned, it is believed that the gross receipts will prove to have been large beyond all foimer precedents. MR. MORRIS lisasxrr, heretofore so celebrated for his performances of French characters—he who has lately abandoned the stage for literary purAiits—will give w series of twelve representations at the Adelphi Theatre upon its opening for the winter season, and previous to his departure for the United States. dattstastital.
