The information comes from European dnan-
cial circles that the veto OF imitation will cause
increased investments in American securities
on that side of the water. On the other hand :,
Initiation would indefinitely postpone the re-
sumption Of specie payment, act injuriously on
present Investments, and lead TO the total ces-
satiOn OF further purchases OF American secari-
ties on European account.

Business Notes.

At the Bates Mills business is quite lively.
One thousand quilts are being produced per day
and these goods sell very rapidly. The cotton
AIDES manufactured at the Bates are also good
sellers. In the wooden mills ten looms are run
ming on repellants and twenty looms on beav-
ers. The Continental Mills goods are now sold
up very closely, and everything betokens that
the trade will be glad to take all the mill can
produce. A few months since there were two
thousand bales of goods belonging to this mill
in the hands of selling agents-now there are
but three hundred and fifty bales unsold-only
few days product. All around it is felt that
cotton manufacturing has better days ahead.
A large amount of numbering is being done
in East Raymond this season. Plummer and
Davis have been repairing their mills at the
village, and having plenty Of water expect to
do large business. sg m
Messrs Pollock & Scott have leased the Maine
State Wooden Mills at West Buxton, for term
of years, and are turning out first class CASH
meres. They are running the machinery of the
mills, four sets, full time, to keep up with the

Leavitt & Tobey of Athens, intend making
some Improvements in their mill and to put in
a machine for saving shingles, which will in
crease the demand for cedar, fir and other lum-
Der Cor shingles Calden & Hight are manu-
featuring barrels and axe boxes at Athens.
Steward & futile are manufacturing hoops.
McTntire & Green have built freeze house so
they can store their beef and mutton till it will
bring higher prices, also to have it for their
customers when beef is scarce.
Dexter manufacturing establishments en-
ploy about 500 hands at monthly cost of about
$4,000 the products of which are valued at
about 81 ,OOO. 900 per annrm, consisting of wool

The MUsEUM.-The Geneva Cross" called
out fair audience at the Museum last evening.
The play is one which requires large stage
and fine sceuery to produce its full effect. But
as it is admirably conceived, contains many
striking situations. and appeals strongly
to the Imagination, it is a highly entertaining
drama on even quite small stage, if played
passably WELL The scene painter, or scenic
artist" as they call him, has made the moot of
his opportunities, and two scenes, that in the
foundry, and that in the casemate of the be-
leaguered fort, are very finely done. The
first scene, in fact, surpasses anything of the
sort ever put upon the boards in Portland.
Mr. Rowe is not happy Riel Du Bourg. His
great aud acknowledged ability as comedian
do not stand him in stead ip his personation of
the young Prussian who is divided between his
love for his fatherland and his affection for the
beautiful Frenchwoman. His power of facial
expression is great, his voice is good, but his
repetition of the text is too declamatory. In
making these structures we are ulging him by
high standard. Had not so much been ex-
pected, the failure would not have been
apparent. We hope to see him, before he
leaves, IN q IU6 DeGteF SulIcu u his
ability,-in his great specially of Micawber.
Miss Isadora Cameron is an admirable
Gabrielle. From the careless gayety of the
opening scenes to the moment of supreme
agony, when the helmeted Prussian soldlery
break over the walls of the crumbling fort, her
rendition was finished and careful piece of
acting. She was particularly strong in the
scene where she urges her lover con to Berlin,
and where, inspired by the patriotic fury OF
Frenehwoman, she denounces him as spy.

Partant pour Ia Syrie, the beautiful Moorir
pour Ia Patrie, and other French national airs.
