The Evening Star. WEDNESDAY, MAY 31, 1871.

From the pressure on our columns in consequonce of the arrival of the Nebraska, we aro obliged to hold over our local and general news. We were 'in error yesterday in saying that the Lancashire Bellringers appeared at the City Hull :wo should have said Prince of Wale's Theatre, where the entertainment was given last night with great success, and where it will be continued nightly. We can recommend in the very strongest terms this melanyc of legerdemain, second sight, and tintinnabulation as the most charming means of spending an evening that has been afforded in Aucls> for long enough.

In our columns will bo found the latest intelligence from Eui'ope. It is almost impossible to imagine a more melancholy state to which any nationality could be reduced than that of France. The vendetta in it 3 widest wildest application, and the black flag raised by the two armies of l-e^ular troops and. che National Guards of Paris, have produced results that must be mourned by all people gifted with the ordinary feelings of humanity j and so far as we can see, the prospect of any cessation of mutual slaughter is far removed. We are obliged to withhold further comment by pressure on our space. (

One of those rare aud exceedingly tasteful works of art in jewellery, for which Mr. Lewisson is so lamed, is now to be seen at his establishment. It consists of a complete set of studs, sleeve-links, &c., manufactured from the richest quartz, for the Earl of Pembroke. Heavily impregnated with gold, the quartz* in its beautiful, setting, has the most chaste and beautiful appearance, and we do not know a design more likely to attract the taste of connoisseurs in jewellery. We strongly recommend an inspection of the articles before their transmission to England.

The Caxedoniak Gold Mining Company. —Persons who have shares in the above gold mining company or any other claims, should remember that there is another claim quite as rich as the Caledonian although not quite so large ; it turns out as good specimens of pastry, poultry, &c, as anyone would wish to see.
