— v ¦ Hatjiarket . —On Thursday evening was produced Mrs * Inchbald ' s old-fashioned comedy ,- "Wives as They Were , and Maids as They Are , " and served to introduce Miss Amy Sedgwick in a fresh character . She played the brilliant Miss Dorilion with all that dashing spirit that so well becomes her , and had an able abettor in Mrs . Wilkins , who acted the fashionable Lady Mary Raffle . As the representative of "those lively beauties in full bloom who make such a figure in old comedy Mrs . Wilkins is an invaluable actress , but we fear that the works of Mrs . Inchbald can scarcely be endowed with permanent vitality . On the same evening a broad farce , called " The and ed
Rifle , and How to Use It , " produced , prov less of an occasional piece ( that is to say , a piece specially suited to the time ) than might be supposed from the title . Mr . Percival Floff ( Mr . Buckstone ) and Mr . Sidney Jubklns ( Mr . Rogers ) , both members of a rifle corps , have returned home one night from a mess dinner much the worse for their potations , and Floff , by way of a " spree , " has fired with un-• wonted precision at an apparently human being that he has perceived in his way . When the dawn of day brings with it a return of reason , the unhappy marksman wakens to the consciousness that he is a murderer , and the only ccfnsplation that he can find under the circumstances is derived from the fact that he and his comrade had changed rifles before
the fatal deed was done , and that therefore he can terrify Jubkins into the belief that he was an accomplice . Peace of mind is , however , unattainable , and the frantic alarm of Floff leads him into strange absurdities . The Policeman ( Mr . Compton ) who looks at the window merely to catch a glimpse of Mary ( Mrs . E . Pitzwilliam ) , the maid-servant , is , he suspects , on the look-out for his apprehension , and he accordingly invites him into his house , and purchases Ms silence with unlimited sherry and countless bank-notes , the worthy memr ber of the force , simply concluding that he is dealing with a maniac , and making himself completely drunk with the unwonted beverage . Then the ladies Mrs . Floff ( Mrs . B . White ) and Mrs . Jubkins ( Mrs . Wilkins ) are to be mystified , so Floff perconstable is lord
suades them that the inebriated a in disguise , and they treat him with exaggerated courtesy , which he . repays with such unbridled familiarity that the jealousy of M ary is aroused . ] From this moment an indescribable bustle ensues , in the course of which all the women perpetually scream , and all the men knock each pther about , till jat last , the mainspring of the whole action , the terror of Floff , is annihilated by his discovery that the victim of the shot is a lay figure . In the dialogue of this farce there is much humour , and with judicious curtailment doubtless it will become popular . The acting was excellent throughout , Mr . Buckstone in particular lavishing all his ample resources to render the terror of * Floff as ludicrous as possible .

AUSTRIAN VIEW OF THE CHINESE - QUESTION . The Austrian Gazette has the following : — "If a Russian ambassador demanded to go up the Thames with his fleet—if a French envoy desired to penetrate the Scheldt with a strong squadron—the whole of Europe would raise an indignant Cry , and every one would bless the arms that resisted such an attempt . Now this is precisely what the English and French are doing in Chin , a , anil the Chinese Governor has done but his simple duty in defending his country . , The whole world saw the matter in this light at once , and
England herself is . beginning to take the same view . Whilst the people of London are enthusiastic for nationalities , and the people of France put themselves forward as the champions of the same principle , both these nations , at the present moment , seek to trample a people who possessed a literature when Englishmen mid Frenchmen were clothed in bearskins , and civilised Europe did not know even how to write . No nation has a right to force another to hold intercourse with it and each nation is at liberty to keep its own doors closed . But to the Chinese it is said ; r- 'locals . must
you must like us , you must trade with us , you receive our Ambassadors , although you know we are but spies who desire to find out your weakness , and how we may open a passage to the heart of your empire . The hostility of the Chinese to Europe is founded on a truly national sentiment , and it will not Do so easy to quench aa is supposed . If Franco and England unite in , carrying on the war we shall see the results of the Crimean campaign reproduced , and England occupying , the second nuilc . * no French will have another opportunity of discovering the vices of tho military organisation of Juiglona , and tho people of Asia will also begin to understand them . The French transports , wliichj m have to pass by Egypt and come into conUct witii the English possessions In India , will not h * quuo nromotfvG of ^ British interests . The EnuUali poop c
who are now crying out that Lord Fulmcmon » going to throw himself and his country Into tho arms of the Emperor of tho French , cry out Ju . aw . They are more moderate beoause they cuo u »«»« sensible of their weakness "
