The Saint-Maria Circus at Rome has just been raised about seven feet , by the roof being pushed up in a single block , in order to enable performances to be given similar to those by Avhich Leotard has gained such celebrity . The theatrical arrangements for the season , says the Illustrated Times , are generally settled . The programme for

well , while his partner , Mr . Emden , is , we aro sorry to learn , so ill as to necessitate his speedy retirement . The calm ivhich precedes the Christmas storm of theatrical management ( says the Sunday Times ) has already set in , and the production of minor pieces and of revivals is all that may be anticipated from the theatres now open till Christmas festivities
shower down on us their affluence of good things . A little comedy by Schiller , the very existence of which had been carefully concealed by its owner—hitherto
unpublishedhas come to light , and is in the hands of his surviving daughter , with a view to its being given to the public As for the probability of the production of Alctor Hugo ' s Miserables in London ( says the Qjueeii ) , we can confidently announce that , although no definite agreement has yet been signed , it will , in all probability , be produced by the only actor
on our stage who could adequately play the leading part in the piece , that of "Jean Valjean .

Charles Hugo and Paul Meurice . The Artistic Society of Bayonne having applied to the

The company also stated that the same reduction ,
ivith the same condition , had been offered to the artistic societies of Toulouse , Bordeaux , and Limoges , but that they had all preferred to pay the full price rather than incur the risk imposed .

ONE AT A TIME . LINES TO _ nr LIFE . 'This morn—the sea breeze seems to bring Joy , health , and freshness on its wing ; Bright flowers to me all strange and new , Are glittering in the earldew
y , And perfumes rise from every grove , As incense to the clouds that move Like spirits o ' er yon Avelkin clear ; But I am sad—thou art not here . 'Tis morn—a calm unbroken sleep Is on the blue wave of the deep
, A soft haze like a fairy dream , Is floating over wood and stream , And many a broad mangolia flower , Within its shadowy woodland bower , Is gleaming like a lonely star , But I am sad—thou art not here .
