MUSIC AND THE DRAMA ABROAD.
LoNDON.-There had been nothing new up to the
LIST steamers sailing. "Eugenie," new drama By
Bourcicsuls, failed at Drury Lane-Charles Kean

PARIS Mr.. Berton, the actor who succeeded
Bressant some years since at the theatre in 81.
Petersburg, and lately took his vacated place
at the Gymnase in Paris, was condemned by q
French tribunal to pay fifty thousand francs DANA
ges for breaking his engagement at the Cars
theatre. He had been absent from Paris for num-
Der Of years. and obtar ed leave Of absence from the
director in ST. Petersburg to return to France to re
main stated time. The time passed, and Bsrton,,
desiring no more to leave Paris, wrote to the EN-
peror to sbsolvs bin from his engagement. Through
one Of tho deputies General Guedeonof he received
answer that his wish should be granted under con-
diton of an indemnity OF ono hundred thousand
francs 10 the theatre Imperial do IL Rusae. In tho
frat Judgment Berton was condemned to pay fifty
thousand francs; tubse quently a zero was removed
from the aggregate; and now the General Guedeonof
has been good enough to state that be may pay the
fine as reduced to the dramatists asso ,iaton at
Paris, equivalent to net paying 1t at oil. The cause
as called in the tribunal was piquant to hear in the
present state Of affairs-The Emperor Of Russia
against n. Berton-a actor, and created lively SEN
sation. But all parties are pleased Of the termina-
tion-"Good enough" that the Justice of bis claim
has been virtually acknowledged, and Bsrton that
