THEATRICAL.

Francisque, sen., the Paris actor, who from his great talent
and originality had made himself so popular with the frequenters
of the theatres of the Boulevards, died on Tuesday night, at
the premature age of 40 rars.
Rossini's Stabat Mater is at length to be produced at the
Italian Opera House, with all the splendour and circumstance
which the powers of Lablaehe, Rubini, Ronconi, Persiani, and
Frezzolini, can give this magnificent composition.

His ExcellerTc;, Edward Everett, the American Minister,
left town on Saturday to attend the installation at Cambridge.
We understand that Friday next is the day fixed for the mar-
riage of Lady Mildred Cecil to Mr. Alexander Hope.
Buxton was never known to be fuller of fashionable company
than it is at the present season.
The Duke and Duchess 01 Buccleuch gave another magnifi-
cent entertainment on Friday at Montague House. The party
broke up soon after seven o'clock.
A brilliant ball was given on Friday night at Sefton House for
the first time this season.

:11ISCELLANEOUS.
William Whitelaw, a farmer at Clincart, Glasgow. who died
last Monday, subsisted for 30 years of his life without partaking
of any other nutriment than milk, and grew up a strong,
athletic farmer.

Of the present British Consuls, the Vile-Consul at Toulon
is a Frenchman ; at Nice, where in the winter there are above
300 families, both the Cor.sul and Vice-Consul are foreigners.
In the Levant this functionary is sometimes a Greek, and fre-
quently a Jew.
A lady, named Miss Williams, has been for some time em-
ployed in taking casts of the autographs, inscriptions, and de-
vices, in the cells and dungeons of the Tower of
London;
they are highly curious, and illustrative of many historicat
points. Those graven by the hands of Anna Boleyne, are spell
Boullen."

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The general dul-
ness of all branches of the hosiery trade still increases, and of
course the destitution of all employed. The silk glove branch,
which, after the frightful depression in 18:35 (arising from the
loss of the French bobbin net i rade), had suddenly increased,
and more than doubled the usual number of hands employed,
has for the last two years been gradually sub,iding to its
former number. The number of Frenchmen employed in
making bobbin-net is now computed at near 4,000, aml the
English bobbin-net workmen in France, at near 1,500, making
about 5,500 workmen engaged in working about 3,100 ma-
chines ; whilst in England the workmen do not exceed 3.500,
working less than 2,000 machines; of which, about 1,300 are
in the midland counties, principally in Nottinghamshire and
Derbyshire, the bobbin-net trade being nearly extinct in the
county of Leicester.—Nottingham Journal.

From the letters from Rio it may be gathered ti!
political matters there are very unsettled. The proposi-
tions made by the British Government for the abolition
of the slave trade had been received anything but
vourably by the lower orders, who apparently'
greatly misunderstood the nature of them. Althoup
the late accounts of the attacks upon the British were_•i
much exaggerated, yet ill feeling towards us was grey
manifested. If the Brazilians would see their intereS
in its true position, they would eagerly seize the oprt;
tunity now offered them of disposing of their prod°.
upon more favourable terms.

To operate with such a letter in possession. to show it, andl,i,
an effect has been produced by it to operate further, and COutrh'
wise, when five minutes would have been sufficient to veriflitt
report contained in it, is thought to be described by a 4.
mild term—" indiscretion." To repeat what may be
mental to any party upon hearsay may be indiscreet when t 74
is no interested motive, but when money is made bilt
repetition, the term becomes completely changed. It ee'"'ig
now be denied that the reputation of the Stock Exclisege
damaged far beyond what it was before. The decision offs
premium for the c irculation of false intelligence, and, 17i.s.
or later, the proverb of " dog eat dog," will be foal
rally fulfilled, since business will be wholly CO
to those immediately connected with the markets 170 i.
themselves. In the present improved state of eel ge
nication with foreign countries, when the time e'
arrival can be calculated almost to an hour, certainly to 2;40
and but a short time intervenes between sending
00
abroad and receiving an answer, nothing can be !at
easy than to request an individual abroad to append a poit'7.,
containing such and such information to a letter to be forlfro
by a particular steamer, which can be used or not, just " bs
be convenient. And then if it be, and the tranaactiel►
brought before the proper tribunal, it is nothing but iod
tion although many may be ruined thereby.
A: circular issued by an eminent colonial broker hes 0
tracted some attention in the City, inasmuch as it bt,i
a certain extent departed from matters exelus
commercial, and stepped a little into polities. tbs
great cause of the distress which at present exists arnorgool
labouring classes is here attributed to the competition elateat
the manufacturers, whereby to meet the low prices consel
esr,
thereon, they have reduced the wages by forty millions 11:1,0:
as compared with what they were a few years back, and
quently have had less by that sum to lay out in the neee";yil,
of life; to this, together with the Poor-law, is traced all tb!
It may be noticed that the general opinion in the City is tbs
tical to that above expressed, and that it is borne out blt"
intelligence from all parts of the world, complaining of o
stocked markets.
Papers have been received from Rio to the 12th of ItlaPto
contain no news. Exchanges on England 271 d. By tye
arrival accounts from Monte Video of April 29, bringing
important intelligence that General Rivera had been e:01
