An entertainment was given at Phoenix
Hall Monday evening by a travelling COM
1pany called the Simms Sisters, which at
traeted quite large audience. The pro-
grnmme comprised instrumental and vocal
music, dancing, etc, and wound up with
farcicai farce entitled Widow Blinker in
Love. Some Of the performances pos.
seased a certain degree of merit, but as
Whole the entertainments was decidedly poor
and the concluding sketch tiresome in the
extreme. The best member of the troupe
is little Flora Simms, a mere child, who
evinces talents that may, with proper train
ing, lead to asuccessful stage career, but the
other performers have mistaken their voca-
ton. The audience was good natured,
however, and as a majority only paid Is
cents each for admission tickets, they were
not disposed to expect too great treat for
such small price, and applauded the per-
formers frequently upon the slightest prov
ocation. Little Flora singled out handsome
Charles Maurin as target for blown kisses
and facetious remarks that Z" brought down
the house repeatedly and accelerated the
sale of her photographs during the inter-
mission. 4 portion of the proceeds of the
entertainment was given to Phoenix Fire
Company for the use of the hall.

RIOTS IN LONDON.

On Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday OF
the present week excessive riots took place
in the city Of London. prscipitated 81 the
incendiary utterances 81 Socialietic leaders
who addressed immense gatherings Of peo-
pie at Trafalgar Square and other points
in the city. The meetings vere os-
tensibly composed of unemployed work
ingmen, among whom there il undoubtedly
great distress throughout England, but
large numbers OF the criminal classes took
advantage of the denominations to exer-
else their propensities for stealing and de-
stroying property.
Frequent collisions with the police took
place, large number of club houses,
stores aud private residences we're piilaged
and in many instances badly wrecked, car
riages were halted and broken to peices on
the streets and numerous persons roughly
handled by the mobs, but fortunately no
lives were sacrificed and very few people
seriously injured.
On Monday and Tuesday the police we're
almost powerless to curb the rioters, but
on Wednesday the authorities got the upper
hand, and since then the city has been
quiet. Subscriptions are being taken up
for the relief Of the deserving unemployed
and it is not probable the rioting will be
renewed. The leading spirits OF these
breaches of the peace are to be prosecuted.

THE DIFFUSION EXPERIMENT,

We hope there will be no failure on the
part of Congress to provide liberal appro-
priation at this session for the trial of the
diffusion process in the extraction of juice
from sugar cane. This important test was
intended to have been inaugurated last fall,
on Mr.. Duncan F. Kenner's Hermitage
plantation, near Donaldsonville, but was
deferred for several cogent reasons, princi-
pally because of mechanical defects in the
machinery then in course of erection, which
were not discovered until it was too late 10
complete the plant for use during the sugar
making season of 1856.
Commissioner Coleman of the Agricul-
tural Department is reported as evincing
full determination, if supplied with the
necessary funds, to give the sugar industry
the benefit of a thorough trial of the diff
fusion process, and as it is the opinion of
our ablest experts and scientists that the
benefits anticipated will be fully realized
from the experiment, Congress should not
hesitate to provide the appropriation re-
quisite to a completion of the unfinished
work in question. ~.-5

THE CONFLICT THIcKENs.


We reported in the CHIEF Of January SO
that the United States Court at New Orleans
had ordered Marshal Peasants to proceed
to Ascension and St. James and de-
mand from the Sherihs of those parishes
the property attached under writs granted
by the Twenty second Judicial District
Court, in the suits of Friedman Bros, G. H.
Garden & Co., aud Hamilton Brown Shoe
Co., Us. NJ. Israel & Co., and, furthermore,
that Judge Boarman subsequently granted
new trial upon this order, to be argued
before Judge Billings on Thursday, tho 4th
inst, execution of the order to the Marshal
to be suspended until a decision of the
motion.
Owing to the absence of Judge Billings,
the motion for new trial WAS reassigned
for Saturday iast, before Judge Boarman,
and after argument in its favor by counsel
for NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. submitting it
without argument-the motion was over
ruled.
The effect Of the decision was to perpetu
ate the order to the Marshal, who came up
from New Orleans on Monday and de-
manded of the Sheriffs of this parish and
St. James possession of the property at
tached as above stated. This being re-
fused, the Marshal returned to the city,
but came back on Thursday and renewed
his demand, which was second time de-
MED. rule for contempt has accordingly
been taken against the Sheriffs in question,
which is returnable to-day, in the United
States Court ut New Orleans.

the recent entertainment given at Phoenix

it appeared that the gross receipts of the

We lave heard that the expenses in
cnrred amounted to about $3.50, leaving
only the small margin of $27, more or less,
to be placed in the fire company's treasury.
In common with almost everybody who at
tended the entertainment, We are surprised
at its meagre financial result, and disap-
pointed that our esteemed aud worthy
brother hremen of Napoleonville hive real
lied such small profit from the brilliant af-
fair. Judging by the very large attendance
We fully anticipated that the gross receipts
would reach $3.50, insuring a comfortable
surplus over the expenses. The latter were,
OF course heavier than usual, as steamboat
fares, hotel bills aud other items incidental
to the giving of the performance away
from home had to be met, besides which Il.
considerable sum is said to have been ex-
pended for costumes; but considering
all this, We still hoped and thought a
handsome profit would be realized. We
do not wish to be understood as intending
to cast any reflection upon the management
OF either OF the arrangement committees
They were composed1of conscientious gen
tlemen, who undoubtedly gave their best
efforts to secure the success of the enter
tainment, and rendered faithful account of
every cent dassing through their hands. >
