The Reforme states, that "the present month will be ren-
dered remarkable by the extent of mercantile failures in
Paris. The bankruptcies already registered at the Tribunal
of Commerce in the department of the Seine amount, as to
the debts, to 5,0,00,000 f.
At this moment, when commerce
ought to be so prosperous, in consequence of the number of
strangers at Paris, this return of bankruptcies demonstrates
that trade is in a most dangerous condition, and, in fact,
there passes not a day that we do-not remark a sale by exe-
cution in some shop or warehouse."

COLBURN'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE, for May, comes
before us strong in celebrated names and attractive sub-
jects. Mrs. Gore and Mrs. Trollope, two of the cleverest
female writers of the age, contribute each an admirable
picture of life and character, severally entitled " Mili-
cent, or Summer and Winter," and " The Robertses on
their Travels." From the popular humourists, " Tit-
marsh" and Leman Blanchard, we have a most amusing
little story, called " The Partie Fine," from the first,
and a pleasant sketch, entitled "Deceased People whom
we meet with Daily," from the other ; to which may ,be
added, a laughable anecdote by the author of" Peter
Priggins," with the title of " Ilk Bit of Preferment ;"
an anonymous paper bearing the title, " The
11l-
Humourist, or Our Recantation ;" and a humorous
essay "On the Duplicity of Men." Horace Smith takes
"Lachrymose Writers" for his subject ; James Kenney
finds a more pleasant one in " Mrs. Hope, the Fortune
Teller ;" and John Poole affords equal entertainment to
the reader with "The Beauty of Brighton." Among
several sterling papers still left to enumerate, we must
point to the ".Recreations in Natural History," "More
Reminiscences of the late Prir_ce Talleyrand,' and " The
Medical Student's" conclusion of his striking story called
Marianne Esterling.":

rect The result of the engagement of Mr. Webster and
Madame Celeste at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, has been a
professional triumph, attracting the most numerous and fa-
shionable audiences since the Italians. Among other novel-
ties, they introduced, in a piece called The Trumpeter's
Daughter, the celebrated " Polka," which was nightly en-
cored, and literally created quite a furor from the Vice-regal
throne downwards. On their way to London, they intro-
duced the " Polka," last Thursday evening, at Liverpool,
giving it at once a decided popularity, and filling the house
to an overflow in every part, so much so that to please the
many hundreds disappointed, they have promised to dance it
again on Thursday and Friday next.
CARLOTTA. Guist.—(From a Correspondent)._
The obstinacy
of M. Pilet, the Director of the Academie
Royal, had nearly prevented this charming danseuse from
appearing on the night of her benefit. By her Parisian en-
gagement she is bound, under a considerable penalty, to pre-
sent herself in person, on Friday, in Paris, and it is by the
enterprising spirit and decision of Mr. Lumley that this has
been rendered possible. The instant the curtain of her
Majesty's Theatre drops on the graceful poses of this gifted
dancer, she will hasten to the Dover Railway, where a spe-
cial train will convey her to Folkestone, there a steamer of
the first class (with steam up) will bear her to Boulogne,
whence a carriage and four horsed, preceded by a courier, will
land her, we trust, in safety in Paris.
