ST. JAMES S THEATRE.

The classical extravaganza of "Endymion ; or, the
Naughty Boy who cried for the Moon," has-been revived.
The cast is, of course, considerably altered, although Miss
Herbert still makes a very beautiful Diana, and a resplen•
dent Luna. Mr. Charles, too, maintains his old part of
Actaeon, which he acts and dances capitally Mr. Garstin
Belmour is also a very humorous Pan, and Mr. Dewar and
Mr. Ashley does all tha can be done for the Doctor, who
utters the basest commonplaces, and Alpheus wbo is always
shouting after his Arethusa (Miss E. Romer). The new
performers are Miss St. Casse as Cupid, and Miss Rosina
Ranoe as Endymion ; who both sung as well as played
their parts with great effect. The entire getting up is very
pleasing, and all the ballet business admirably managed.
The revival was received with enthusiasm by a crowded
house.

COPYRIGHT IN A DANCE —.The Civil Tribunal of
the Seine was called upon last wok to give judgment in a
suit respecting the artistic properly of a new pas de dame.
The plaintiff was M. Perrot, th 3 author of " Gazelda,"
a ballet performed some time sine with great success at
St. Petersburg, and the defeaaant M. Petipa, of the
Grand Opera of Paris. It alpeared from the state-
ment of counsel that in the above-tumid ballet M.
Perrot had introduced a new date called the " Costnopo-
litana," which became a great avourite in Russia. On
his return to Paris last year, M.Perrot was requested to
allow his dance to be performed it the Opera, but he de-
clined the proposals made. No long after, however, he
learned that his " Cosmopolitan," had been introduced
into a ballet brought out by M. Jetipa, and received with
great applause at the Opera. On laving ascertained beyond
all doubt that the dance in questini was really his own, he
commenced proceedinps for the defence of his copywright,
and demanded 10,000 f. damages. For the defence it was
argued that the dance was not a new one, being a mere com-
bination of eeveral national dances, which every artist had
a right to adapt and modify as hi pleased. Tne tribunal,
however, decided that, althougl the different national
dances were public property, anycombination of them be-
longed to its author, and gave him an exclusive right to
its use, that M. Perrot's work lad been introduced into
Petipa's ballet without the auttaes consent, and that he
therefore had a just claim for lamages. Petipa was, in
consequence, ordered to pay Perrot 300 f, damages, with
costs of suit.

TEE TELEGRAPR IN FRANCE.—It may be re-
membered that a reduced and unform tariff for telegraphic
despatches in the interior of France came into operation on
the let of January last. Duringthe three months follow-
ing that date 124,797 messages re,re than in the same period
of 1861 were sent, bein an increase of 'BO per cent. ; the
additional receipts for that periot in 1862 was 47,401 if., or
8 per cent. over the corresponditg period of the previous
year. The increase in internatiaml communicate n for the
same months was 10,206' despatches, producing 27,669 t.
As no alteration in the tariff fo• foreign despatches to ,k
place, that augmentation must be attribu ed to the con=
tie ued development of
the relations of France with foreign
nations.
Americans in Paris (of lhe Confederate party)
who profess to have an inkling of official iniormation from
Richmond, say that Beauregard't latest plan was to feign
an attack upon Washington, in order to draw M'Clellan
away from the basis of his operations, and then by a rapid
countermarch to get possession of the bulk of his stores of
ammunition.

dent of success that they would rattler not have any Euro •
pean mediation, feeling sure that they shall soon be able
without assistance to establish their claim to European re.
