      THEATRES AND ENTERTAINMENTS . The attractions of the pantomimes are so strong this year , that pur record of amusement novelties is necessarily scanty . At the Strand , however , Mr . Sutherland Edwards and Mr . Augustus Maybe w have produced a new farce called " Christmas Boxes , *^ It is , perhaps , more artistically constructed than their last joint-stock composition , the " Goose with the Golden JEggs , " but has not its violent fun ; still it fairly answers its purpose , affording scope for the excellent acting of Mr .. Rogers , whose mock pathos is received -with shouts of genuine laughter . —At the St . James ' Theatre , a riotous sort pf ballet farce * in titled , " Myjfame is Norval / ' produced on Thursday evening , in which Miss Lydia Thompson , Mr . Charles Young , and Miss Sti Casse have their full fling of

      burlesque acting , singing and dancing ; and delight the audience by ^ the exaggerated extravagances of an amateur performance . It is a violent exercise of animal spirits , and produces a corresponding effect on the audience , who enjoyed it in the same extreme spirit in which it was performed . —At the St . Jurnes ' s JSall ^ the Monday popular concert was , we need hardly say , effective . Mendelssohn and Dussek furnished quartettes and concertos , which the usual first class performers executed a ravir . Mr . Sims Reeves was great in two songs by Beethoven , and Madame-. Sherrington in the lovely " Migndns-Lied , " by the same composer " Know ' st thou the Land . " —We may add here , that among the Neiv Songs ^ yre have received , we in -list give the place of honour foi * originality of musical thought and depth of expression to a pair from Glasgow , " Autumn Leaves , " and " Far , far away , " both composed by T . M . Mudie , to words by C . R . Brown , and published by Muir , Wood & Co ., of Glasgow , arid R . Mills , of London . " Lonely on the Billow , "

      Metzler & Co ., composed by T . Browne , hath a melody ; which is saying something now-a-days , and artistic treatment . By G . P . Goldberg , we have from Schott & Co . a -re-edition of liis well known duet , " The Mariners , " otherwise "Vierii la barcae pronta "and a pretty and easy romance , Goldberg all over , called , " Pianto dell ' esule . " " The British Volunteers ? , " W . Williams & Co ,, a new version of a good old stave , without the " Tow , row , row , " burden that our forefathers were not too refined to tolerate . InChappell ' s , charming collection of Old English ditties , the words of the sixteenth pentury are reverentially preserved . Mr . C . E . Horsley ' s new Oratorio , " Gideon , " that was performed last night , at Si . James ' s Mall , will call for further notice next week ;—Mr ., G . A . Macfarren stands sponsor fora " Christmas Carol , '' and " The Rose thou gav ' st me in sweet May" ( Cramer , Beale & Co . ) , the words of both by Mr . James . " The Four-in-Hand galop" by T . Brown ( Metzler and Co . ) , is decidedly good .

      System Of Good Political Economy Which C...

      system of good political economy which can , by creating a national wealth , spread comfort among the working classes . \ _ " In that which relates to agriculture , you must make it share in the benefits of the institutions of credit , clear the forests situated in the plains , and replant the hills , devote annually a considerable sum to great works of drainage , irrigation , and clearage . These works , transforming the uncultivated districts into cultivated lands , will enrich the districts without impoverishing the State , which will cover its advance by the sale of a portion of those lands restored to agriculture . " To encourage industrial production you must liberate from every tax all raw material indispensable to industry , and allow it , exceptionally , and at a moderate rate , as has already been done for agriculture on drainage , the funds necessary to perfect its material . to be rendered to the country is to

      " One of the greatest services facilitate the transport of articles of first necessity to agriculture and industry . With this object , the Minister of Public Works will cause to be executed as promptly as possible the means of communication , canals , roads , and railways , whose main object will be to convey coal and manure to the districts where the wants of production , require them , and will endeavour to reduce the tariffs by establishing an equitable competition between the canals and railways . " The encouragement to commerce by the multiplication of the means of exchange will then follow as a natural consequence of the preceding measures . The successive reduction of the duty on articles of great consumption will then be a necessity , as also the substitution of protecting duties for the prohibitive system which limits our commercial relations . "By these measures agriculture will find a market for its produce ; industry , set free from internal impediments , assisted by the Government , and stimulated by competition , will compete advantageously with foreign produce , and our commerce , instead of languishing , will receive a

      new impulse . " Desiring , above all things , that order may be maintained in our finances , observe how , without disturbing the equilibrium , these ameliorations might be obtained : — " The conclusion of the peace has allowed us not to exhaust the amount of the loan . There remains disposable a considerable sum , which , joined to other resources , amounts to about 160 , 000 , 000 f . In asking from the Legislative . Body permission to apply this sum to great public works , and by dividing it into three annuities , it would give about 50 , 000 , OOOf . annually to add to the considerable sums already annually carried to the budget . . ' ' ¦ ¦ . ¦ ¦ ¦¦' . ' •• ¦ .. ' : ¦ ¦ ' ¦ . . ' ' . ¦ ¦' '' . ¦ ¦' . '¦ . ¦ . : " This extraordinary resource will facilitate to us not only the prompt completion of the railways , canals , means of navigation , _ roads , and ports , but it will also allow us to restore in less time our cathedrals , our churchesand worthily to encourage science , letters , and the arts .

      , ' ^ . To compensate for the loss which the Treasury will for the moment suffer by the reduction of duties On raw materials and on goods of great consumption , our budget offers the resource of the sinking fund , ^ rhich it will suffice to suspend until the public revenue , increased by the augmentation of commerce , allow ? the sinking fund to be again brought into play . (< Thus , to resume : — Suppression of duty on wool and cotton ; " Successive reduction on sugar and coffees ; " An energetic improvement in the means of communication ; " Reduction of canal dues , consequently general reduction on the means . of conveyance . ; •? Loans to agriculture and industry ;

      " Considerable works of public utility ; *• Suppression of prohibitions ; " Treaties of commerce with the foreign Powers ;—" Such arc the general bases of the programme to which I beg of you to call the attention of your colleagues , who will have to prepare , without delay , the projects of Jaw destined to realize them . It will obtain , I am fully convinced , the patriotic support of the Senate and , of the Legislative Body , jealous of inaugurating with me a new era of peace and pf assuring its benefits to France . " Whereupon I pray God to have you in His holy keeping . " NAPOLEON . "

      STATE DOCUMENTS . nPHE Emperor of the French ' Free Trade Manifesto , first A published in the Monitem' of Sunday , the 18 th January , I 860 : — . ' ? PALACE OF THE TUILERTES , Jan . 5 . 41 Monsieur le Ministre ,- —Despite the uncertainty which still prevails on certain points of foreign policy , a pacific solution may confidently be looked forward to . The moment has therefore come to occupy ourselves with the means of giving a great impulse to the various branches of the national wealth . " I address to you with that object the bases of a programme , some portions of which will have to receive the approval of the Chambers , and upon which you will concert with your colleagues so as to prepare the measures most suited to give a lively impulse to agriculture , to industry , and to commerce .

      " For a loug time this truth has been proclaimed , that the , mcims of exchange must be multiplied to render commerce flourishing ; that with * out competition industry remains stationary and maintains high prices , which are opposed to the progress of consumption ; that without a prosporous industry , which developes capital , agriculture itself remains in infancy . Everything , therefore , is bound up in the successive development of the elements of public prosperity . But the essential question is to ascertain within what limits the State ought' to favour these diverse interests , and what order of preference it ought to grant to each . " Thus , before developing our foreign commerce by the exchange of produce , it is necessary to improve our ngricultnre , and to liberate our industry from all internal impediments which place it in conditions of inferiority . At the present day , not only are our great enterprises impeded by a host of restrictive regulations , but oven the welfare of those who work is (« r from having attained the develop nent which it has attained in a neighbouring country . There is , therefore , only a general

      EXTItAORDINAHy / INVENTION IN DENTAL SUBCIERY . —TO Mr . I ^ pnrajra Moseley , of 9 , Grosvenor-strcet , London , and 14 , Gay-street , I 3 uth , may be attributed one of the most remarkable and useful discoveries of the day , that of a substance for the construction of artificial teeth , gums , ana palates , so thoroughly adhesive as to fix securely , without the use of these troublesome adjuncts , spiral springs , It is . in tact , the most perfect substitute for the natural teeth that can possibly be desired , and maybe said truly to attain the nonius ultra of art- " ars opt oolaro artoin . ' The subafcance , for which a patent has booh obtained , ia chemically purified white India-rubber , which can , be moulded to evory irregularity of the gums and teeth in the most perfect manner , forming , as it were , an artificial porioateum to the teeth , keeping them from becoming painful m the wasting away of the gum , and enabling the patient to use any force in masticating or striking the teeth together , without the porcuaaion or rattling that attends the action in general oaaes . —Court Journal .
