      BU 6 SIA AND THE AMERICANS . The JBoston Telegraph says : —" Last week , a young American engineer of talent and skill , who had successfully served in the navies of England , Russia , and the United States , sailed from this port for Europe , in response to tenders made him by the Emperor of All the Bussias again to enlist in his service . The offers were of the most advantageous and flattering character . He took with him some fifteen or twenty young men , whom he had enlisted as associates , and who for a few months back have been in training under his experienced and skilful instruction . It is well known that the Emperor has long appreciated American talent , and is now making it available whenever possible . "

      A MODERN TROUBADOUR . The following anecdote of Macaulay appears in a weekly paper : —Macaulay , being lately desirous of obtaining information respecting eighteenth-century poetry , as material for his new volumes , took his way from the Albany to Whitechapel , and bought a roll of London ballads of a singing boy . Happening to turn round as he reached home again , he perceived the youth , with a circle of young friends , was keeping close at his heels . " Have I hot given you your price , sir ? " was the indignant remonstrance . " All right , guv ' ner , " was the response , " ' re only waiting till you begin to sing . " THE ANTI-RUSSIAN . A new weekly journal of this name has just been established . It is thoroughly devoted to the demolition of Czardom , and may be regarded as a great " sign of the times . "

      Money Market And City Intelligence Frida...

      MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE Friday Evening , January 19 , 1855 . The Funds have been very stationary all the week . Some large and influential sales yesterday and to-day depressed the market to 91 | , 91 | , during the forenoon , but closed somewhat firmer . The applications for the French Loan have been all in vain , so completely absorbed has it been in France , but the expectant allottees of the Loan having sold largely at a premium , find that not only can they not realise a profit , but have to give a still higher price in order to fulfil their engagements . Hence the reason of the heavy premium that the Loan now stands at , between 5 and 6 premium . Turkish Scrip continues very firm , and there is no doubt

      if jeace be patched up it will command a strong premium . With railway shares there has been not very heavy business —prices are moderately maintained . Mines are all badnothing doing—Agua Frias more especially have been flat during the week : Crystal Palaces are weak , 2 £ , 2 i ; General Screw Steam Company at last is said to be ready with its accounts—those accounts which have puzzled the most arithmetical and calculating of accountants . There is no particular feature in the Stock and Share markets . The Bank . returns arc said to be favourable , and money will possibly become easier , as the French Loan , being taken up nearly exclusively in France , will not absorb our capital . I fAs to the aspect of public affairs , the City seems at faulfc .

      They would like to be more assured of Russian sincerity , of Austrian sincerity , of English Ministers' sincerity , and a variety of other doubts cleared up . So , for the present , they are laying on their oars . . The most astonishing part of the business , with the universal dislike expressed and want" of confidence for our Coalition , is that they can remain in ofBce one hour . To be sure the House of Commons , which is supposed to be the voice of the Nation—is it P—acquiesces in peaceful submission . One hope is that the Cabinet may splitrof itself , from internal discords . Any of these accidents would produce a monetary crisis for the moment .

JULLIEN has the honour to announce that a grand BAL MASQUE wil take place on Friday , February 2 , 1855 , which will be the first ever given at the ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA , and positively the last this season , and terminate the Concerts . It is now several years since M . JULLIEN had the honour of introducing the above kind of Entertainment in England , and it has afforded him the greatest satisfaction to observe , from year to year , that they have unvaryingly increased in favour and popularity . It is not the ball-room alone which has exhibited this increase , but those portions of the Theatre set apart for the convenience of Spectators have , at the same time , been entirely thronged with visitors . This unremitting patronage is a sure evidence of the immense attraction of these Entertainments , and , of course , cannot fail to be a source of great gratification to M . JULLIEN , convincing him as it does that his efforts to afford amusement to afi classes have not been made in vain . The approaching Bal Masque , the first ever given at the ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA , will , however , afforTan oppo ™ tunity of producing an Entertainment surpassing in grandeur and brilliancy all former Balls—the vast area of that beautiful Theatre giving facilities possessed by no other locality . M . JULLIEN therefore believes that , without entering into details , he may safely state that the Bal Masqu 6 above announced will be one of unrivalled splendour . The orchestra will be considerably enlarged , and consist of One Hundred and Twenty Musicians . Principal Cornet-a-Piston ... HERR K ( ENIG . Conductor ... M . JULLIEN .
