A Lady of high distinction, long admired in the diplomaiic circles. visited the Hotel of the British Ambassador, in her late journey through Paris. There was a brilliant circle, of which her Ladyship displayed a manifest disposition to shine the centre. The Lady of the mansion was not, however, to be thus shorn of bee beams, and driven Prow her proper sphere. All the minor planets of the fashionable and diplomatic circles congregating together, moved around the hostess, obedient to her will, and cheerfully acknowledging het superior sway. The intrusive star, thus no longer 'lustre,' of the Wien dant, and disdaining to move au attendant luminary in the splendid galaxy, soon shot her fires, and withdrew her Sovereign beauties, veiled in the clouds of night. CHANGEABLE FACES. A box of Changeable Faces is among the most favourite Christmas presents in the juvenile circles. The kaleidoscope appears to have suggested the idea of this invention to Mr. ACKERMANN. The box contains several portraits, each consisting of three distinct pieces, the head, the neck, and the bust so formed, that any one piece will har monize with any other two, thus constituting an immense number of changes of face and cos tume. One great source of interest is produced by the expectation of discovering in the suc cession of changes, a likeness to some distinguished personage, fasourite, or friend. In all those changes, however, we do not find sin old friend with a new face, nor two faces under a hood. There are two boxes. one of male and the other of female facts— both beautifully coloured. SOUTHAMPTON, J _•NOART 2. On Thursday evening the Lady of Walter Ra leigh Smith, E•q.

WA Li A critique in a New York Paper upon Mr. WALLacat's performance of Juflier, has producttl from that gentleman the following letter:— TO TOO EDITOR OF " THE NEW YORK EVENING POST." SlR—Having to-clay been looking over for the Snit time your paper of Thursday last, it was with infinite astonish. merit I perceived a charge against me of want of delicacy in nut having curtailed the part ..f Pyfier in the objection able points; with au assertion, that I played it sa It stands in the text, with all its gm -auras. If the performance iu your memory, and lon will take thr trouble to refer to the text, you will at once perceive that you are in error. I I pledge my honour, that I curtailed the points alluded to much more thaw is the cu►tom on the London hoards, and spoke infinitely less of them than ever before, when act. ing the same character with Min O'N FILL, in various parte of Scotland. Rut, notwithstanding, had I receired the .lightest intimation of 11w regular mode of curtailing used on this stage, I should most certainly have adopted it. I have to remark, that no g e ntleman, whether in or out or toy proftssi 111 l , would be more tenacious of wounding the ear of delicacy than myself; but it is evident there is nabbing portico of ill -nature, and extreme injustice. in the phrase " bad conduct," imputed to theactor oo this occasion. I have the honour to he, Sir, Your obedient humble Servant, JAMES WILLIAM WALLACK. 16, Park-plate, Norember2, ISIS. MR. BRA DRURY. TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE BRITISH PRESS, SlR—Understanding that some prejudice has been excited against use in consequence ril a mis conception of my conduct during the performance of the lust Pantomime at Drury-lane Theatre.:A have to request that you will be so good as to afford me the opportunity of addressing the Public through the medium of your respectable Journal, I have beard with much surprise sad regret that upon the first night of the representation of the Pantomime, I had the misfortune, through some act or accident, to incur the public displeasure. What the nature of that act or accident was, I cannot even conjecture. But I must sincerely declare, that I was utterly unconscious of any improper intention, while I felt peculiarly anlicitous to please on my first ap. pearance at this great national Theatre. It is, however, told me, that wawa the displeasure of the audience was mani fested, I asked in rather an miry arrogant tune, " What offence have I offered?" adding, '• I should be sorry tu of fend any one ; hut if I have offended any Geutleman, I am ready to serf him any where to give any explanation required" The question which I put will, I hope, he deemed natural and justifiable, as I was wholly unaware of having given any offence, and the tone ascribed to me in putting that question, I can must conscientiously deny. Such a tone would, indeed, have been quite incompatible with the humiliating confusion that oppressed meat the moment. But the extraordinary iaterpretatiun of the words which I littered, when I offered to explain, astonishes me beyond measure; fur these words were, I ant told, conceived to im ply a menace ur challenge to personal conflict, than which nothing could possibly have been inure remote from my in tention. To entertain such an intention would, indeed, be not only unbecoming my situation, but would imply a degree of weakne►s, wildness, and wickedness, which I hope uu con siderate being would attribute to my character. Now, with respect to my appearance before the audience on the last night the Pantomime was performed, with a whip under my arm, those who have condescended to notice my habits fur years, require not to be informed that I always early a whip. When I was called upon by the audience, I was on the point of leaving the Theatre, and from a desire promptly to obey the call, I hurried as the stage, *bully un mindful of the whip, or any interfere likely 14 be drawn from the accident of its being nnder my arm. Hut, labels!. ing exclusively as I do upon the favour of the public, I trust that justice and liberality will forbid the coroclusion that I could ever have intentionally offered the slightest offence to that Public, with abuse patronage I have been co long ho noured, and from whose generosity I have su fiequently pro fited. I ow, witb respect, Mr, Your oust obedient Serratot, ROBERT BRADBURY. Mr. Pstures. having finished his sixth engegut meat at the New York Theatre, with all the eclat and ettraction that marked his first appearance, set out, in the beginning of November, for Charleston, on a professional tour of the South, where now reaping a golden harvest, preparatory is em barkiog for Europe, in the ensuing ng.—A New York Paper says—" Mr. PUILI has cer tainly introduced a new school of tausic*ong us; and his performances will always be r&embertd with pleasure."
