has raised the jealousy OF the directors OF our city
fneasre inca, ana they recently produced Miss Ra6e
rom tne 81 petersburg theatre, who copied the
mimic OF the famous Mrs. Schneider as Duchess OF
Geroisteln. This proved attractive TO our young
men, Dut was nlghly censured by all friends OF dra-
matte art. The directors were accused 10 nihX their
% nas al tne cost OF public morality. They tried 10
silence silence these these clamors by introducing foreign
comic actor, ana they made bad yeJ worse by
1t. Mr.. Knaake, from Vienna was applauded some
years ago. wnen his comic songs and gestures had
coarse, and the directors are again blamed for
rup.ing good taste. The result will probably be
that the administration will resign as they are not
paid for their trouble, and that the performances
must be esuspended Tor want OF managers. In other
respects things have greatly improved, house pro.

May l5 mentions that 1t was one Of the provisions
OF the treaty OF Prague that the movable property OF
the various States composing the former German
confederacy contained in the federal fortresses
should be verified and the value fixed by commls'
sion OF liquidation. These torresses include Lux
emburg, Mayence, Rastadt, Ulm and Landau
The claims OF Austria and Holland were
examined by commission in Frankfort
in the year 1867, and disposed of by the
payment OF sum agreed on BY the parties inter-
ested. new commission OF liquidation has now
met in Munich to settle the claims Of the other
Northern and Southern States to the movable pro-

fairs OF the South, and wishing to give no handle
to the suppOstion that she seeks to enCrOach the
sovereignty of the Southern States. These States
even founded in october last fortress commission
IN which also Prussia Is unrepresented, although
this commission has In It's hands the control and
administration OF the federal movable property, In
which Prussia has share.
