The best indications that could
be given of the depressed condition
of general trade in England is seen
in the 10 per cent reduction of the
wages of cotton-spinners and in the
lookout of the miners. Neither
event would haye occurred had the
English manufacturers and mill
owners been able to dispose of
their surplus stock at anything near
cost prices. But the fact is, English
tradeand manufactures are as nearly
dead as the continental enemies of
the Tight Little Island care to see
them, and, of course, the conse-
quences of decay are most strongly
visible OF home.-Globe Democrat.

La FILE DE MADAME ASGOT.-The first
appearance this season of Richmond's ID
vorite, Mrs. Alice Oates, with her large
corps Of artists, was the OCCASION OF q bril-
liant gathering at the Theatre last night.
The ever-Welcome comic opera Of La File
de Madame Angot by Lecocq, was given
in a manner never surpassed in this city.
Mrs. Oates sang and acted the part Of
"Clairette" with even more than her ac-
customed spirit and viyacity, and her
audience, appreciating her efforts in
their behalf, accorded her the SYM
pathy and applause she so well merit
ed. The debut before q Richmond au-
dience OF Mile. Eme Roseau, who sustained
the role OF "Mme. Ange," was an event Of
special interest. She Is a remarkably clever
and natural actress, and has q n,ezzo-so-
prdno voice OF great purity and high culti-
walton. These accomplishments combined
with beauty and graceful manners, created
q most favorable impression, and captivated
the entire audience. Her success was COM
plete, and her chances OF becoming general
fayorite with our people are beyond doubt.
Both OF these ladies were forced to respond
to encoreS by repeating some Of their
choicest pieces. Mrs. Chapman, as CANA
ranthe," was excellent. Mr.. Charles II.
Drew, as "Pomponet," sustained the part
in manner highly creditable and pleasing,
while MIR. Howson's "Larivandiere" was
very good. Mr.. Laurent's "Ange Pitou "
was well acted, but his singing, which was
fair, failed to give general satisfaction, par
ticularly when he essayed the high register.
The chorus was unusually good, being
composed OF nearly twenty fine voices,
almost perfectly drilled. The splendid cos
tuning throughout the opera was the sub
ject OF very general remark.
Tonight the opera OF Girofe- Girofla will
be rendered, and we anticipate crowded
