FRANCE AND PRussM.-By tho late foreign
nsws We see that france has receded from
whut the Berlin official journal styles its lab
surd" demand for an extension of the French
frontier to the Rhine. and that the cloud of
war upon the horizon has besu again dissipas-
ed The refusal of Prussia to acceds to the
demand might have been expected, since every
Instinct of German nationality is opposed to the
ee''ion Of German territory. The territory
IS indeed small, comprising not the entire ter
r'tory west of the Rhine but only the frontier
OF 1864. Yet to its maintenance the whole
German empire is pledged. and in a contest Of
strength its sixty millions would prove more
than match for tile thirty.six millions of
France. There was no alternative for tho
French emperor, sud he hus been again forced
to forego his ambitious projects.

A FAILuRE.-The effort to explode
the shell below the water, and in the vi.
cinity of the supposed Judgment of the
bodies of the gentlemen recently drown
ed in front Of the city, proved failure.
The tube used did not contain suffi
Gent amount of air 20 ensure the burn
ing of the fuse. The shell was recov-
cred yesterday, and it was ascertained
that some two feet of fuse had burned,
but ..the powder was not reached. Itil
possible that the bodies foated far be-
low here, as the river has been dragged
at various times, and in all parts front
of the city. We do not know whether
the experiment of attempting the ex>
ploding of the shell will be repeated.
If it could be accomplished, and was
placed in the immediate vicinity of the
bodies, it is believed that the bodies
would rise.

TENNESSEE MERcHANrs.-There have
been large number of Tennessee mer-
chants in our city in the last ten days
purchasing their spring stocks of goods.
Although no great effort has been made
on the part of the merchants of this city
to secure that trade, they are receiving
large share of it, and we are assured
that almost the entire trade Of that sec
ton could be secured to Evansville, if
the same efforts were put forth by our
merchants that are used by those of St.
Louis, Louisville and Cincinnati. tits
well known fact that Evansville can
compete with either of the above-named
cities in low prices of goods of all de-
scriptions, and especially such articles
as are manufactured in the city. What
we want now is a real live Board of
Trade, and good, efficient, active and
reliable drummers to be sent out to that
section, together with Evan sville facili.
ties for transportation, and the Tennes-
see river trade is our. We hope the
business men of our city will not forget
that the Board Of Trade will hold another
meeting on the 18th inst.

RIGH RENTS The Lsfayetts Journal
says one of the greatest drawbacks to
the growth and prosperity of that city
is the want of tenemeats or dwellings
suitable for mechanics, laboring men,
and those Of moderate means. The
same remark 10 applicable to the city OF
Evansville. During the past winter it
has been almost impossible to rent q
house, except BY watching for weeks for
some one to move, or by engaging one
for weeks ahead, and when obtained,
the rents are so high that mechanics at
once begin to look for situations in
other cities. There have been numbers
of oar mechanics and laboring men,
during the last six months, who have
visited our city for the purpose Of To-
eating, whose services would have been
valuable, but, in consequence of the
exhorbitant prices asked for rents, have
at once declined locating
There are houses renting here now
that pay from 10 to 40 per cent on the
capital invested. Now, if some of our
enserprising capitalists would build .
large number of houses suitable for
mechanics and men of small means we
might reasonably expect large increase
of the business interests Of the city in a
short time.
In some of the Western cities build
ing associations have been formed, BY
and through which this imperative de-
mand is met. The great increase in the
population and business interests of the
city Of indianapolis is materially attri-
butable to this one thing. and the same
thing may be said with business of other
Western cities, where proper spirit of
enterprise has been manifested A hun-
dred houses suitable for mechanics and
laborers would find good, prompt-paying
tenants, even at the high rates, in less
than month, and we feel sure that no
other one enterprise would result more
beneficially to the city.

NEW METRoPoLITAE.-Last night Miss
Reynolds was greeted by large au-
dience of the fashionables of our city,
who were most enthusiastic in tn cir ad-
miration of the charming manner in
which she personated the character of
Count st. Louis de Richelieu. Miss r
has all theyessential qualities Of an &C
complished Grtiste. In her character
of Richelieu we doubt whether she has
an equal on the American stage. Her
every act 10 natural, easy and perfectly
free from that embarrassing affectation
that too often mars the effect of mag
ni6cent comedy, and renders it dull and
tame. Tonight Miss R. takes benefit,
and will appear in the splendid comedy
entitled " Wonder" in which she will
take the'chsracter of Violante She will
also appearin the afterpiece, Anthony
and Cleopatra" Bella Golden, ever
favorite of our people, is cast in the
principal piece, and the stars of the
company are cast as only Grierson can
arrange them We copy the following
notice of Miss R., in the. play for to.
night, from the New York Albion:
Her chief success has been won as Violaass, for
which and for similar parts, she is especially
lifted by psture and by Gu tIvRtion. The quail
ties essential to correct impersonation Of the
character, arc dignity, refinement Of miad
and of manners beauty grace, ardent feeling,
keen sense OF humor, and m rthfnlaess Of ten
permanent. All of these are natural 10 Miss Reign
olds, who is, moreover, skillet In the bswitch-
ing wiles OF coquetry, and whose acting therefsrs
Is brilliant and delightful. I cannot perhaps
more precisely describe her, than by saying that
she m kes ono think Of those gay beauties who
fit through the poetry Of Sir John Sucking, or
Marvel, or Herrick: nor does IL an extrava-
gaDce to apply TO her certain kof the fanciful
heroines-
