Amusing but Verdant.

Jules Juan, who pretends to be the first critic
sin France, referring to Rachel in America, says
with a verdancy that will excite smile
1.-The Americans have another way which must
disturb NH Rachel when on the stage, unless
they have sacrificed their tastes and passions at
her shrine. For it is the custom of every Amer
lean to have continually in his hand pen or
jack knife and to white furiousy at the arm. of
his chair; this is his distraction, his occupation
and his amusement for it kills both time and trap
-edy. 1t would seem nevertheless as though the
progress Of the play might get disturbed by these
makers of shavings, and that the tragedienne ac-
customed to profound silence, to the feverish at
tention of every eye. of every soul hanging upon
her lips, must be strangely stupeiied at hear
ing these strokes and cutting of knives. fit at the
very best to accompany rope dancer box

GOLD FROM EURopE.-The Philadelphia Led
ger says that,a letter has been received from Liy
erpool. dated 10Th of October, stating that the
baltic brought out fioO.OO in gold on her
last voyage TO New York, and that single Greek
house in Manchester had shipped 100000 for the
purpose of purchasing grain to export to Eu.
rope The same gentleman expresses the opin-
ion that still larger sums will be exported in bull
lion from all parts of Europe for the same pur-
pose. As a source from whence gold NAV in
part be supplied in Europe for these breadstuff
purchases, tits mentioned that IA portion of the
gold distributed by the allied armies in the East
will now find its way back into circulation through
the agents Of the Greek houses, as well as those
of Rothschild and other bankers at Constantine
pie, who cash there the Commissarait and other
officers drafts to large amount Tho New
York Post takes the ground that as soon as the
news of the difficulties which attend the ncgotia-
ton Of bills of exchange drawn against shipments
shall have arrived out a great,impetus will be Civ
