      The attractions of the pantomimes are so strong this year , that our record of amusement novelties is necessarily scanty . At the Strand , however , Mr . Sutherland Edwards and Mr . Augustus May hew Tiave produced a new farce called " Christmas Boxes , " It is , perhaps , more artistically constructed than their last joint-stock composition , the " Goose with the Golden Eggs , " but has riot 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's Theatre , a riotous sort of ballet farce , intitled , "My Name is Norval , " was produced on Thursday evening , in which Miss Lydia Thompson , Mr . Charles Young , and Miss St . Casse have their full fling of

      burlesque acting , singmg and dancing ; and delight the audience bylhe 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 . James ' s Sail , the Monday popular concert was , we need hardly say , effective . Mendelssohn and Dussek furnished quartettes and concertos , which the usual : .-first class performers executed aravir ^ Mr . Sims- Reeves \ yais great in two songs by Beethoven , and Madame Shefrington in the lovely "Mignons-Lied ,, ' by the same composer " Know ' st thou the Land . —We may add here , that among the JVW Songs we have received , we must give the place of honour for originality of nrmsical 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 . Browji > and published by Muir , Wood & Co ., of Glasg-ow , and 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 Scliott & Co . a re-edition of his well known duet , "The Mariners , " otherwise " Vieni labarca e pronta "and a pretty and easy romance , Goldberg all over , called , " Pianto < 3 ell'esule . " " The British Volunteers , " W . Williams & Co ., a new version of a good old stave , without the " Tow , row , row , " burden that bur forefathers were not too refined to tolerate .. In ChappeH's , charming collection of Old English ditties , the words of the sixteenth century are reverentially preserved . Mr . C . E . Horsley ' s new Oratorio , " Gideon , " that was performed last night , at St . James ' s Mall , will call , for further notice next week . 7—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 . .

      I ^ HE . Emperor of the French's Free Trade Manifesto , first . published in the Mpnitetir of Sunday , the 18 th January , I 860 : — " PALACE OF THE TUILERIES , Jan . 5 . " Monsieur lo Miniatre , —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 portion * 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 .

      system of good political economy which can , by creating a national wealth , spread comfort among the working classes . m " In that which relates to agriculture , you must make it share m the benefits of the institutions of credit , clear the forests situated m . the plains , arid 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 lauds 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 . . " One of the greatest services to be rendered to the country is to 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 16 O , OOO , OO 0 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 , 000 f . 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 , ineans of navigation , roads , and ports , but it will also allow us to irestore in less time pur cathedrals , our churches , and 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 oh goods of great consumption , our budget offers the resource of the sinking fund , wliich it will suffice to suspend until the public revenue , increased by the augmentation of commerce , allows the sinking fund to be again brought into play . " Thus , to resume : —Suppression of duty on wool and cotton ; " Successive reduction on sugar and coffee ; " 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 are 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 law 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 of assuring its benefits to France . . " Whereupon I pray God to have you in His holy keeping . !« NAPOLEON . "

      " For a loug time this truth has been proclaimed , that the means of exchange must bo multiplied to render commerce flourishing ; that with , out competition industry remains stationary and maintains high prices , which arc opposed to the progress of consumption ; that without a prosperous industry , which developes capital , agriculture itself remains in infancy . Everything , therefore , is bound up in the successive developinent of the elements of public prosperity . But the essential . question is to ascortnin 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 tho exchange of produce , it is necessary to improve our agricultnre , 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 enterprisesimpeded by a host of restrictive regulation * , but even tho welfare of those who work is far from having' Attained the develop ncnt . which it has attained in a neighbouring country . There is , therefore , only a general

      [ APVEBTWEMEWT . j BxTBAonDiNABY Inventjion in Dental Sdboeby . —To Mr . Ephmim Moseley , of » , Qrosvenor-atreet , London , and 14 , Gay-street , Bath , may be attributed one of the most remarkable and useful discoveries of the day . that of a aubstance for the construction of artificial teeth , gums , and palates , so thoroughly adhesive as to fix securely , without the use of these troubleeomo adjuncts , spiral springs . It is , in rivet , the most perfect substitute for the natural teeth tfot can possibly be desired , and may be Sft »« truly to attain the no plus ultra of art- " ars ost oelaro artom . " JShe substance , for which a patent has been obtained , is chemically punned white India-rubber , which can be moulded to every irregularity of the gums and teeth in the naost perfect manner , forming , as it' were , an artificial periosteum to the teeth , keeping them from becoming painful in the wasting away of the gum , and enabling the patient to use any force in masticating or striking the teeth together , without the percussion or rattling that attends the action in general oaaoa .-r—Court Journal .
