ROYALTY IN RETIREMENT.--The num-
Der of monarchs out of business, and sons
who have not been permitted to keep up
the establishments of the fathers Of the
old stand, is just now more considerable in
Europe than at any time since 1S4S. An
exchange paper runs over the list Prince
Wasa of the original royalty of Sweden.
the Comte de Chambord, the Comte de
Paris, Napoleon Ill, the poor old blind
King of Hanover, Bomba of Naples, an
ex-king of Portugal (the son of Don Mi
guel), the Duke of Brunswick. the exiled
former rulers Of Lombardy, Parma and
Modena, aud the royal fa.Sily of Spain.
Isabella, Carlos and Alfonso. To these
may be added the Pope, so far as his tenn
poral sovereignty is concerned.
Some of these interesting fugitives are
living doubtless on the proceeds of the
crown jewels which they carried off with
them upon abdication or flight from their
royal capitals fortunate thing for them
selves since it is singular to conjecture
what they would do for a support if
thrown altogether upon their own re-
sources. Charles Y, at Ynsta, turned his
attention to clocks with such poor success
that it is clear he would have failed in the
clock business, and the example is GER
tainly not encouraging Bomba might do
as billiard marker, and the poor old
Hanoverian King in his blindness might
make lively opposition to Beppo on the
Piazza di Spagna. As for the late. En-
peror of the French, he should enter into
partnership with his quondam friend, the
Prince of Monaco, in the comparatively
respectable business of rouge-et-noir.

On the day before Christmas the Harr-
sonburg (Va.l Ente,prise.had long article
on fires, urging the authorities to procure
an engine, &c. The article began thus !:
"FIRE.-There has not been fire, but
there is going to be. one, and as an enter
prising journalist it is our duty to furnish
it to the public as much in advance as pos
sible."
The next morning a fire broke out, and
swept, we are sorry to relate, not only the
Enterprise Office, but seventeen other
buildings from the most business portion
of the town.

Reary Sua.-A large suit has been in
progress before Judge Wexford, of the Circuit
Court of Richmond. since Monday last. The
style of the suit is, j. NJ. Darlington, Assignee
of r. H. Moss & Bro, vs. the Richmond and
Danville Railroad Company. Messrs. E. Barks.
dale, Jr., Thomas S. Flournoy, and Ould 4
Carrington. appeared for the plaintiffs, and
Messrs. Ii. H. Marshall and Wood Bouldin for
the defendants.
The object of this suit is to recover S25 900,
the value of 400 boxes of manufactured to-
bacco, shipped on the road in November 1864
The railroad company alleged that the tobacco
was taken by mob at Danvlle, the 18th or
18th of April, 1865. The plaintiffs charged
that it was lost by the careessness of the com
pany, and in fact that the employees of the
company appropriated it to their own use.
The case was opened on Monday morning by
Colonel d. Barksdale, Jr., counsel for the
plaintiff. A number of witnesses were exam.
ined. Last night, after an able and eloquent
address from Hon. Thomas S. Flournoy, in be.
half of the plaintiff, the case was given to the
jury.
This important suit was most ably argued
by the learned gentlemen engaged by the de-
PENDANTS.

A FRENCH DIsH.-A celebrated restau-
rateur of Paris makes delicious dish with
rats. He dresses them with champagne
and spices. He cannot fill all the orders
he receives. In short, the last chic is to
eat rat The market for these little beasts
is held in front of the Hotel de Vile. The
rats are shut up in great cage, where the
buyer selects his rat, which is then driven
by the seller into small cage, where it is
alone. A bulldog is then brought, the
cage is shaken, the rat rushes out and is
seized by the dog, which gives it a squeeze,
and deposits the dead rat delicately at the
feet of the purchaser.

Our Western exchanges generally speak
of trade as usually stagnant, just now, but
are hopeful of brisker times soon to come.
AT Cincinnati, Chicago, Louisville, and
other centres of business, money is scarce
and dear. 1t is admitted, however, that if
nobody is making money but few are losing
it. Speculative ventures are in disfavor,
and the old motto "slow, but sure" is
coming to be better thought of than it
used to be.

The Iheatre.-'rhe Merchant of Venice
was played last night by Mr.. Mexican Buchan-
an and his company, and, although the lead
ing actor made some very fine points and PLAYED
his part very acceptably so far as the acting
was concerned, the defects In his delivery were
quite painfully perceptble. Yet, justice COM
pes US to concede to him very respectable
order of Shakespearean talent. He has been
close student, and if he would only abstain
from marring his rendtions by too much
"business," and become somewhat tanner in
action, while. he cultivated clearer enuncia.
ton, we think he would increase his fame.
Although we in no sense recant our opinion
of his Richelieu, we are free to give him
credit for his good qualities in the other
characters he has personated during the
week. His Shylock was by no means a per-
feet performance, but it was quite as good as
the general run of business done by the "stars
of the period" OF the other actors and
actresses it is not necessary to speak. They
did their best to fill up the lay parts, and we
have no disposition to subject them to a harsher
test of criticism. "Used Up" what little was
given of it-and we had that little lonp-was
quite laughable, and Mr.. Buchanan did very
we'll; but even here he spoilt the effect by
"business" and "gagging."
To-nightw we are to have Damon and Pythias
and all the knights should be on hand. To-
morrow, at one O'Clock, there will be
matinee; and that same evening the "legiti-
mate" dramatic season will close, to be follow
ed, as we understand, by more legs.
