during the remainder of the week o

to Mary Anderson. The stage mana
ger, Mr.. j. w. Reynolds, was for the
past three years employed In q similar
position at the Chestnut Street Theatre,
Philadelphia, while the entire COM
pany have had considerable experience,
and there is no doubt but that each
play will be given in the very best
manner.
This ey ening Gustavus Clarke will
appear at the Opera House in version
OF "Monte Cristo." The company is
said TO be very good and to take all the
prominent characters in an excellent
manner.
Barlow, Wilson & Rankin's Minstrels

In this city to need an extended notice.

they are living in, and no one can tell
what terrors the vague and underlined
future may have for them. Rather than
emigrate, they crowd the large cities with
paupers and live and die like nies in their
misery, but the inevitable result is the
rapid swelling of the tide Of emigration as
they are driven by dispair to seek that
alternative.
An official statement of the British
board of trade shows that during the
eight months ending August 3lst, 1856,
over 226,OO0 people sailed from British
ports. Many were from the continent OF
Europe their number being given as Co.,
600. The remainder, or about l6l,oto,
were English, Welsh, Scotch and Irish,
and the number exceeds by about li,Ooo
that of the same classes in the first eight
months of 1855. The Irish emigration
shows little increase, the bulk being Eng
lish, Welsh and Scotch
This emigrat ion is bound to increase in
volume as long as the iron rule of the
aristocracy continues, and if few decades
do not witness an overthrow Of that power,
we may count the glory Of Great Britain
as forever gone and its decay and fall as
consummsted.
England has become land Of contrasts
between enormous wealth and abject pow
erty. The wealth in money and its equiv
alent is increasing with marvellous rapidity;
the wealth in men is decreasing in a most
alarming manner, for after all men and not
money, make the state.
Commenting on these facts the Phlladel
phia Bulletin quotes Lord John Manners
Let wealth and commerce, laws and learning
die,
But leave US still our old mobility"
and adds that the true nobility of England
is that which she is driving beyond The
| seas.
