- Restore files currently in the Trash can
- Restore files emptied with the Trash can

I think you can just right-click the file and select "Put Back"
Quick answer, nothing happens.
If you delete it, .Trash will be created again once needed. You can delete it without issues, no matter if you delete from Finder or from command line (rm) will back again.

Best Answer
Open Terminal.app and type
It will create a new empty folder that Mac OS X can use to store trashed files; this won't save any old deleted files from the original .Trash folder you deleted.
