FOREIGN- TIJEATRICALS.
VARIEThS —A brsce of trifles have been produced
here, but with different success. The first, Une
Vengeance, a tedious affair, not at once consigned to
Tart,rui by its virtue as a soporific. The other pro-
duction, a broad extravAganze, Canadar Pere et Fits,
which kept the house in the best of humours from the
rise to the fall of the curtain.
GYMNASE.—Two pretty little pieces have met with
a favourable reception here. Both are trifles, the
first, La Petite Fille de la Grande Armee, in which
Madlle. Luther, a young lady of a martial disposition,
finally abandons the musket and sabre, and becomes
the wife of the unavoidable cousin. The other 15
entitled La Fille di Hoffmann. Hoffmann loves only'
two things in the world, his daughter and his
fiddle ; he is also rather given to frequent the
cabaret. Louise, his daughter, and a young lord,
Frederic, are passionately attached to each other, 50. d
the obstacles to their union, raised by a machiaveho
counsellor, who has his views on Frederic as his ovv.n
daughter's husband, and the ingenious manner in
which they are all removed by Hoffmann, form the
subject of this smart little affair. It is extremely
well acted by Mdlle. Marguerite, and MM. Perrin
and Lesueur, and the names of MM. Bayard and
Varner, the authors, were given out with all the
honours.

PALAIS ROYAL.—No less than five novelties have
been given here, M. Guillaume, Grussot Tueur de
Lions, Le Fi4re Terrible, Les Sept Femmes de Barbs
Bleue, and Sofilez moi dans liEd, and received
with favour. They are of the grotesque and farcical
nature usual at this theatre, and their real authors
are the performers Grassot, Sainville, Ravel, and
Levassor.

M. Ponsard's Ulysse is in active preparation at
the Fran9ais, and will be produced, it is said, within
a fortnight.
At the Cannobiana in Milan another new Opera
has been produced by Maestro Somme, under the
title of Parisina ; the principal characters were by.
Madame Sadoski and a baritone of the name of
Majeroni; both opera and artistes are highly
spoken of.
Verdi's Due Foscari was given at Rome on the 00
casion of the Russian Princes. M. Coletti and
Madame Capuani are favourably mentioned in the
principal parts.
New operas are rife in Italy. Another has lately
been produced at Modena, entitled Luigi Quinto; ,it
is the production of Maestro Mazzucato, and is
scribed as having been successful.
Accounts from Vienna state that Mme. Medori bad
achieved another success in that city as Maria (II
Ruben," Mdlle. Deneric, Fraschini, and Ferri sustain-
ing the other parts.
A young English artiste, Miss Rochelle, of whose
success in the provinces the London Sun and other
papers speak very highly, has been lately giving
Shaksperian readings in Paris. Her interpretation
of the love passages in Romeo and Juliet WI
highly spoken of, as a close assimilation to nature.
Nor was she a whit less effective in giving the cele-
brated lines of the masculine heroines, Emilia end
Lady Macbeth. Mrs. Siddons would have felt
pleased with such a pupil. Prior to the fulfilment
of her engagements in England, where Miss Rochelle
makes her debut in the Chieftain's Daughter, all
original piece of her own, she will enjoy the advantagie
of a series of readings with the celebrated Rachel

Our market to-day was toierably well supplied with
Beasts, as to numbers, but their general qual►ty was in-
ferior. For na.st breeds we experi lined a very inactive
inquiry ; neverthel• ss, Monday's prices were sup-
ported, the primest Scots being worth 3s 6d per
Sibs. Although the supply of Sheep was on
the increase, the Mutton trade was firm, at very
full currencies, the best old Downs having realised
3s 10d per 81bs. Lambs were in steady request,
but not dearer. From the Isle of Wignt 350 came fresh
to hand. On the whole the Veal trade was dull, and
late rates were not supported. In Pigs next to nothing
was doing. Milch Cows were to►erably firm, at from 171
to 1915 s each, including their small Calf.

require a variety in their diet. Their general food may ce.,l,

AN EX-SHERIFF COMMITTED FOR FORGERY:'
The ex-sheriff of Gloucester, William Henry Barrett. Who
absconded to the United States about this time last year'
and was brought back to England, as already reported, last
week, was brought before the Gloucester magistra'en 011
Wednesd :y for final examination on several charges of for-
gery. Four cases of forgery of acceptances for amounts
reaching some thousands of pounds in the aggregate, were
gone into, and at the close of the examination, which lasted
nearly the whole of the day, the prisoner was fully committed
for trial at the next Gloucester assizes on all four charges.
It would seem from what transpired at the examination, that
the acceptances forged were those of the pri-oner's cus-
tomers with whose handwriting he had become acquainted;
that he was in the habit of dealing largely in bills, and that,
on his absconding to America, several of these bills hec.4ne
due, and then the forgery was discovered. The Court was
crowded to excess during the examination.

TUE POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS AFFECTING Mii"
cuEsTE e Manchester Guardian publishes some further
correspondence which has taken place between the Cal'
mercial Association of that town and the Postmaster-Ge"
neral. The latter, " after full inquiry," has found that 11,1
unn cessary delay in the transmission of the foreign and
colonial correspondence has taken place, either at Southan3P:.
ton er the London office. The delivery at Manchester 0.
the correspondence from abroad, brought to the port 0'
Southampton might, it is admitted, be accelerated by the e9e
tablishment of a large sorting force at Southampton ; but th.
expense of such a measure would be so great that his Lord"
ship does not feel himself justified in proposing it to the
Treasury. The Commercial Association, however, deter:
mined not to let the matter rest, have renewed their fornl"
request; and, in a schedule attached to their commanicatiTl,
draw the Earl of Hardwicke's attention to the arrival of the
various steamers at Liverpool, and the time at which then
letters are delivered at Manchester. They also urge the fle:
cessity of an early dispatch of the morning mail from Londo!!
and an alteration in regard to the steamers from London to
Hamburgh.
To CLEANSE THE HAlR.—What is far better fat
cleaning the hair than the spiritous extracts so frequently
recommended, is the yolk of an egg; it acts in the same way
as soap in removing the dandriff, but having little or no alka.
line qualities, does not, like soap, change the colour of the
hair, nor render it harsh, as spirit does; but, on the con'
trary, makes it soft and silk-like. It is used thus : —Beet riP
the yolk of an egg (perfectly free from the white) with
equal quantity egg soft water, or rose water; apply it to ell
hair with very soft brush (a shaving brush is best), tint'
a good lather is produced ; then clean it all well off, either
with soft water, or rose, elder, or orange-flower water. It a
new laid egg the better.
PRESENCE OF MIND. Mr. Charles Chalk, of
the London Coffee-house, St. John's-lane, Liverpool,
narrow escape last week. In the rush to get to the tr,":
after the races at Chester, on the Wednesday, he was throri'
across the rail. He instantly threw himself on his back, 911'
the moving train passed over him without causing the slight.,"
est injury.—Liverpool Standard.

G
REENp RITIT.—The demand continues good. the
warm weather assisting consumption. Three cargoes
of oranges from St. Michael, and a parcel per Tagus
steamer, from Lisbon, sold by Keeling and Hunt at
public sale, were taken freely by the trade at prices
somewhat lower than last week. Nuts of all kinds in
request. A slight improvement may be noted in the
price of lemons, and as the outports are bare of stock
may tend to a further advance.
