ROBINSON 4 LIKB's CIRoUs.--This admi-
rable equestrian troupe, now performing at
Woods Theater announces three exhibitions
for to-day, and by the advertisement in an
other column, it will be seen that for the
forenoon entertainment the prices will be
reduced to twenty-five cents for the first tier
and fifteen cents for the second. The laugh
able pantomime of lack the Giant Kitler
will be played both morning and afternoon,
in order 10 attract and crafty the little folk,
and at all the performances the entire COM
pany will appear in carefully selected pro-
gramme of acts in the circle. Each enter
tainment will conclude with the thrilling
feats of the Lion Enchantress," and her
trained animals. Woods TheateT will,
doubtless, be threnged both day aud evening.
PiKE's OPERA. HoUsR.-The beautiful ro-
mantle and Scriptural spectacle of Joseph
and his Brethren drew a large and we'll
pleased audience last evening at the Opera
house, and surely the piece is well worthy of
all the admiration il excited. The scenery
is new, appropriate and finely executed, the
costumes are rich and beautiful the proper
ties costly and elegant, and the tout spSem-
bic all that could be desired. The plot is
interesting, and the incidents such as elicit
the sympathy and rivet the attention until
the close. Those desirous of witnessing an
admirable spectacle admirably put upon the
stage should see Joseph and his Brethren,
which will be performed throughout the
week --....
MELoDEoN HALL.-Hambujer, the wizard,
opened the Melodeon last evening with the
first Of his sOirees mGgicdLes to q large au-
dience, and those present seemed highly
pleased with his performances. He will
give special entertainment this afternoon at
two o'clock, and another this evening at
the same place. - .e
SMITH & NIxoN's HALL.-The Campbell
Minstrels had a full house last evening and
doubtless will have another this The Camp
bells, who also give an entertainment in the
afternoon, are. an excellent band, and their
delineations of the African character are as
accurate as they are humorous. r u
CATHOLIC IEsTIIUTR.--The Orphans Fair,
for the benefit of St. Joseph's Asylum at
Cumminsville, continues open, and the arti-
cles on exhibition, the arrangement and dec
oration of the hall, the music and the COM
pany, are enough to attract any one to the
hall. 40
| NATIONAL THEATER. - This evening a
varied performance, QuiRtin Mdtseys, Mdtteo
Fdlcone and the Ocean Child, will be given
at the National; and at halfpast two this
afternoon Herr Sables will execute num-

The Frsneh Press on the Qasstlou OF

The French Press on the Question OF
DisuniOn = Its Opposition TO Southern
CsnIederacy. -
The Paris Prssss of the 4th inst. has the
following; 4
France, who abolished slavery herself can
not even seem to protect it in other coun-
tries. sSuch an idea even would do her a
serious injury. the Americans of South
Carolina must, then, be persuaded that il
ever they obtain from the French Govern
ment the moral support that they demand,
it will not be as prOprietors, but in spite OF
their being prOpFietOrs Of slaves and by
virtue of the principle, acknowledged for
thirty years, that all Governments dc 6acto
shall be recognized by the Governments of
EnrOpe and America.
France has in the United States the same
interest that their large towns have, and
ought TO follow the same line of conduct.
The rupture of the Union will entail moro
risks than benefits; for while the commerce.
of England and the whole of Europe will be
admitted, with our own, to the free ports Of
the new confederation, the Northern con
federation will Immediately seek, in an ex-
elusive alliance with England, counter
poise to the Southern agreement with
France. War will inevitably flow from this
antagonism. Having as allies slave pro-
prietors, we will be forced, by the nature Of
things, TO defend their institutions and to
tolerate their plan of aDnexing Mexico and
the Island of Cuba, which the North up to
this time has alone prevented. B
France will never lay herself open to such
course. She ought not TO allow the Southern
States TO deceive themselves in this matter.
She can not even lend such consent as silence
may afford; her duty is 70 labor with all
her power to prevent dissolution. There
ought not to be for us, ON the other side of
the Atlantic, either Southern Americans or
Northern Americans, but States whose union
is important to the equilibrium of the world
The American marine is not less necessary
To France than the Russian, Spanish and
Italian nayies, 10 prevent q single Power
from seizing the empire Of the sea. ,.-tl. f,
France was the first ally Of the United
States-we hope that she will now be their
counselor, and expose the abyss into which
they are now hurrying-an abyss in which
will be buried forever past most glorious
and q future most hopeful, For the Ameri-
can Union separation is suicide; Il Is the
murder Of great nation and a great princi-
pie. France can not lend a hand to this
suicide and this murder. She has helped 70
make this people-she win never help to de-
str0y them.
/ Such are, we are convinced, the sentiments
Of our Government.

( NEWSPAPER THEFT.-A gentleman residing
on Vine. street, near Ninth, had his Pass
stolen from his door six mornings consecu-

discovered the thief to be the carrier of

high tone of the society of this city has even
infused itself into the thieves, who steal the
PRESS, and leave all the other papers. This
exhibition of discernment certainly mitigates
the ofense, and should induce magistrates to
inflict light punishment. n ....

the city, as proposed by the Ward Commit
tee, the line between the Eighth and the
Ninth passes directly through his house, and
asks where he will vote. We would state
that this is not altogether a new question, as
one of the houses of the Garden of Eden is
divided by the line between the Eleventh
and Seventeenth Wards. We believe the
occupant of the building has always voted in
the Eleventh Ward, but on what ground, we
are not aware. The Irishmans method of
disposing of such a difficulty is a very
rational and simple one-vote in both, but
pay taxes in neither.
