Volume 25 — READING THE (DRAMATIC) STARS.

THE other day we read an account of a few complimentary words having been spoken by the Emperor of Russia to a French Opera dancer, from which some Gobemouche had drawn the inference that there would be no war between Russia and France. Upon a similar authority we might announce that there is no possibility of any collision between France and England. At one of the performances of "Tom" Matthews, as English Clown, during his engagement in Paris, the Emperor Louis Napoleon was seen to applaud. It might also be inferred that the British Government stood pledged to support the Constitutional cause in Italy, because Costa is a Sardinian, and is usually employed to preside at the piano when a concert is given at the Palace.
