From an article in the Debats it appears that the
late massacre of some unfortunate Jews at Folksberg, a
town situated on the frontier between Moldavia and Wal-
lachia, was preceded by the publication of a pamphlet,
printed at Bucharest in the archbishop's palace and by his
orders. In it the moat violent language was used, the fol-
lowing being some of the passages :—" A Christian, when
ill, ought never to call in a Jewish physician, for the Jews
poison the Christians." " The Jews have need of Christian
blood for their ceremonies of Easter—such, at least, is the
opinion of many ecclesiastics." "Every Christian that
kills a Jew may be assured that all his sins will be remitted
to him, and that Heaven will bo his portion after death."
The Government authorities at once issued an order de-
claring that the pamphlet should be confiscated and burned
on the public market-place. But the evil was already done.
THE NEW ADELPHI THEATRE.—This beautifully
constructed theatre is being justly appreciated by the pub-
lic. The arrangements being of such perfect order—com-
fortable and spacious stalls—the abandonment of fees of
every kind—and the civility of Mr. Webster's new staff of
female attendants, are all conducive to the pleasures of
playgoers, and proves how decidedly necessary it will be
to abandon the old system of box-opener's fees. We are
glad to add that since the opening night the theatre has
been very well attended, and treat Mr. Webster's success is
now beyond all doubt.

Moliere's comedy of " Tartuffkr will be played on Tuesday,
Thursday, and Saturday, in which Mr. Webster will sus-
tain his original character. The visitors of the Adelphi
.will read withpleasure that their old• established favourite,
Mr. Wright, will positively appear in one of his screaming
farces on Monday next,
