New Nantymwyn is a continuation westward of the celebrated Nantymwyn Mines. These Mines have been worked to immense profit for centuries, and appear to be perfectly inexhaustible. Some idea may be formed of the great value of these Lodes from the fact that they occupy a channel of 180 feet in width, consisting of six divisions or lode; and that a sink on one of them is now yielding eighteen tons of rich quality ore, worth upwards of £2OO per fathom for Lead. 2dly. The Gilfach property consists of a Lead Mine, worked to some extent and furnished with water machi nery, in which a discovery of Lead Ol'e has been made by an Adit. It is proposed by the Company to extend the shaft downwards on this course of ore, as well as to ex plore another discovery of ore in the sett on the Lady Eliza No. 2 Lodo,where there is a good back of ore ground cropping up to and extending a considerable length along the surface. 3dly. Glan-Towy is an old Lead Mine. Shafts, which have yielded Lead Ore in some quantity, exist on the top of the hill, and the present Company propose to drive an Adit to prove tho value of the Lode under the old sinks. Plans taken from the Ordnance Survey, showing the ex act position of the Lode; together with ground plans of the estate sections of the Mines, and reports by skilful mining engineer; at-e appended, and will ba forwarded on application to the Secretary. Specimens of the ore may be seen at the Company's Offices. Taking into consideration the position of the Mines, the highly favourable prospects, and the return of ore being immediately available, the Directors feel confident that, with the outlay proposed, profits equal to the adjoining mines will be participated in by the Shareholders. Applications for Shares, to ba accompanied with the deposit of ss. per Share, may be made to the Secretary, at the Offices of the Company, or the Bankers. FORM OP APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

What air does the young mouse : sing to the old mouse, when biting his way through the scenery at the opera ? ( 4 Here me, gnaw, ma." - St. Patrick's Day falling, this year upon a Sunday, the benevolent society which has adopted the n:►me of the national a dint, and labours meritoriously among the children of the humbler Irish in London, held its festival on the eve of the anniversary, as sembling its supporters and friends to dinner on Saturday at Willis's Rooms. In the national, as in the family life, anniversary gatherings are sometimes tinged with melancholy, and since the first establish ment of this society, 81 years ago, there have been few occasions on which friends and well-wisllers to the prosperity of Ireland have been drawn together under circumstances of greater discouragement. Fe nianism may be, and deservestobe, heartily despised. It is not of native growth, and with the. extermina tion of those who scatter the seeds ill-weeds would cease to grow apace. But the real mischief under lying the present organisation consists in its foreign origin and propagation—in thefact that it has again been thought worth while to make of Ireland a hot bed of foreign. intrigue. Great watchfulness, great good sense, and cordial co-operation will be needed on the part of Irishmen themselves to frustrate these insidious attacks. Meanwhile, for English or for Irish, no more instructive gathering could be held than that of Saturday, although - its purpose was avowedly non-political: , -The classes reached and in fluenced by the Benevolent Society of St. Patrick are precieely those which, if neglected,' suffered to grow up uneducated and without imperial sympa thies, will naturally form the tools of those who plan excursions •to Chester or Cahirciveen. There are thousands of them in every great ,city in the empire. As the branch is trained so it will grow, bearing British or American fruit. For Irishmen there was a special moral to be drawn from the company who sat down► to dinner. Irrespective of noblemen and gentlemen now or lately high in position and trust, there sat at the head table-the representatives of the Government of the military and naval services of England—the Earl of Longford and Mr. Corry. Both of these are Irishmen: If Fenianism had its way to morrow, could it. open to any of its votaries positions of influence and powerlike these ? The occasion was to have been gracedby the presence of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and in expectation of the honour thus to be conferred. upon the national society, the corps of London Irish Volunteers ob tained permission to furnish a guard of honour, con sisting of 10 men from each of its 12 companies, under command of Capt. Cusack and Lieut. Lucas. Un fortunately the death of the mother of the King of Denmark, which was only known with certainty on Friday, prevented his Royal Highness almost at the last moment from presiding, whereupon the duties of chairman were undertaken by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. Somewhat less than 200 noblemen and gentlemen sat down to dinner, among whom were•--the Earl of Cork, Earl Vane, Lord Dufferin, Earl of Darnley, Earl of Dartrey, Earl of Longford, Lord Annesley, - Viscount Harberton, Bishop of Limerick, Sir Hervey Bruce, M.P.; Right Hon. H. Corry, M.P., Sir James Power, M.P., Sir Wm. Tyrone Power, K.C.8., Sir J. Prior, Col. the Hon. 11. Cole, M.P., Capt. D. Darner, Sir R. Howard, Mr. J. L. O'Beirne, M.P., -Col. Tyrwhitt, Mr. W. H. Russell, Col. Sargent, C. 8., Mr. P.Van derbyl, M.P., Mr. C. M'Garel, Capt. M. J. O'Con nell, Capt. Corscaden, Dr. Maunsell, Mr. J. Ha milton, M.P., Dr. Nelson, Mr. Malvany, Mr. Mal , I colmsotn, Admiral Seymour, M.P., &c. Copies of the annual report were distributed to the guests, from which it appeared that the past year had been an eventful one for the society. The sus pension of a banking firm of long standing, the members of which had been for many years con nected with the charity, caused the resignation of the treasurer, and on the eve of the late anniversary festival the Marquis of Lansdowne was seized with illness, which put it out of his power to take the chair. In this emergency the committee appealed to INIr. Chichester Fortescu!, then Chief Secretary for Ireland, whose kindness at this critical conjunc ture was most gratefully acknowledged. The post of treasurer, vacated by Mr. Bainbridge, had been filled by Sir Ralph Howard. At the time of the late treasurer's resignation the balance in that gen tleman's •hands was £6OO, but the committee had reason to hope that the whole amount would ulti mately be repaid. The fundamental principles of non-sectarian benevolence and charity, limited only by nationality, on which the society is based, had been consistently borne in mind ; the schools, though not so full as in some previous years, were in a satisfactory condition. The superintendents gave a favourable account of the general health, progress, and conduct of thescholars, but confirmed the almost universal complaint, that, owing to the demand for youthful labour, children are removed at so early an age as to prevent their benefiting as much as could be wished by the instruction afforded in the schools. His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, 10 proposing the first toast, expressed the deep regret felt by the Prince of, Wales at being prevented by an unfortunate circumstance from attending that evening, and said his Royal Highness, understanding it was his intention to be present and support him, requested that he would take the chair in his stead. (Cheers.) In introducing the . toast, which preceded all others, he felt that many remarks were not needed to induce them to drink it with cordiality. In apart of the world—which should be nameless—a great deal had lately been heard about disloyalty; but he was one of those Who believed that, if the feeling of the population could be taken without reference to external influence, it would be found that they were as loyal as in any other part of her Majesty's dominions. Ile had the advantage of living for some years in Ire land, and his firm belief was that if the people were left to themselves—(loud cheers) —they were a re markably loyal and devoted people. Circumstances not to be alluded to in a meeting of this nature had undoubtedly arisen, causing unpleasant feelings ; but he felt confident that if the whole of the -Irish people could be polled the great majority would join heartily in drinking Health and happiness to her Majesty the Queen."' The toast was drunk with manifestations of loyalty and enthusiasm more than usually prolonged. His ROYAL HIGHNESS prefaced the next toast— " The Health of the Prince and Princeis of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family"—by reading the following letter which had been received from General Knollys "Marlborough-house, Pall-Mall, March 16. " Sir,--I am co►umanded by the Prince of Wales to trans mit a cheque for 100 guineas, which his Royal Highness requests you will be good enough to receive, as president of the anniversary meeting this day of the Benevolent Society of St. Patrick. It is with sincere feelings of regret and dis appointment that the Prince has been so unexpectedly pre vented taking the chair himself and advocating the interests of a society so dear to the friends and so productive of benefits to the children of Ireland. " I have the honour to be, Sir, you r Royal Highness's most dutiful servant, "J. KNOLLYS. "Field-Marshal his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, K.G." His Royal Highness went on to say :—I think the expression given utterance to in that letter and the large subscription sent by the Prince of Wales show that though absent in person he is present in spirit. (Cheers.) To the toast which it is now my duty and pleasure to propose additional interest ettaches from the fact that the health of her Royal High ness the Princess of "Wales has not been of that cha racter which I am con fident all present would desire. I regret that the health of the illustrious partner of his Royal Highness for some time past has been such as to cause a good deal of concern, and that her progress towards convalescence has been slow ; but I trust that we may 'before long have the happiness of congratulating ourselves on her Royal Highness's entire recovery. (Cheers.) The strong feeling exist ing in the minds of all classes of the public respect ing the illness of. her Royal Highness has proved a great source of gratification to the members of the Royal Ettmily, 1. am Slue that good feeling and His ROYAL ITEGFISESS next propo,erl, " The Army, the Navy, and the Volunteers." had b3en told, he said, that in some parts of the army there were soldiers who could not be relied upon. lie did not bell ye there was any sufficient foundation for this charge. He was happy to say that no bodies of troops had hal any opportunity of attesting their loyalty and devotion to the service, but on small oc casions opportunities had been given, and he had not heard a single instance of complaint against any sol dier in her Majesty's service. Great efforts had no doubt been made to render some of our troops dis loyal. As far as he could learn those efforts had been in vain. He must also say that the constabu lary of Ireland had proved their bravery, and by their conduct entitled themselves to the greatest credit. (Loud cheers.) Depend upon it, these men had been placed in situations of the greatest diffi culty, and strenuous efforts had not been wanting to shake their loyalty; but they bad neither been dis loyal, nor had they neglected their duty. (Cheers.) In the army there were large numbers of Irish men, and there were no finer or braver soldiers in the world. (Cheers.) Ile could not sal whether there were many Irishmen in the navy, but he had not the slightest doubt that if such was the case they were equally bravo with their military confreres. His Royal Highness described the controversies of the present day with regard to the two services as appalling. Between those claiming for increased efficiency and those contending against undue ex penditure, for one man who was satisfied by seeing his views carried out at least 200 were dissatisfied. He believed the authorities had succeeded in going neither too fast nor too slow. They were told now that the Snider rifle was not the best thing that could be got, that there were hundreds of things better. Where were they ? The country had an arm which he believed to be quite as good as that of any other country. There had been some mistakes at first, but, as this was a new arm, a little time was required to get everything in order. In a very short time the whole British army would be arm©d with the Snider rifle, at a very small cost compared with that which would have been incurred if the conversion had not been practicable. On the part of the Prince of Wales and on his own part, he was much gratified with the compliment paid him by the London Irish Regiment in forming a guard of honour. They were a very fine corps, and he was exceedingly pleased to see them there. _ _ Colonel SARGENT, C. 8., responded on behalf of the army. Several other toasts having been given and re sponded to, the proceedings terminated. Miscellaneous French News. (From Correspondents of Anglo-American Times.) PARIS, March 15. The festivities of Carnival are over, and in sack cloth and ashes the sober Parisians are repenting of their sins and /sighing for gaieties to come. Lent and bad weather set in together, and have kept inseparable and disagreeable company. The first part of the week was ushered in by wind, rain, and snow, rendering locomotion on foot anything but agreeable to those who are devoted to the " comfortable." Dullness and an indescribable feeling of ennui seems to prevail on all sides, as this triste season of penance and sobriety is dragging its weary length along. Mid-Lent will afford a brief respite from these melancholy days, and until its arrival we must— "Live with a hops of a bettor time coming." The Exposition Building at the Champ de Mars daily presents more interest, for, the crovil of sight-seers who throng to witness its progfess. 'Me space allotted to Great Britain is alive with workmen, and quantities of goods are rapidly filling it up; while that occupied by American exhibitors is comparatively quiet. There are spaces in the American section, already marked by the different States, among which can be seen the names of Missouri, Ohio, New York, Arkansas, South Caro lina, &c. The Emperor, in a recent visit to the building, expressed his gratification at its rapid progress, and that so large a quantity of goods, to be shown by foreign nations, had already arrived. He also said he hoped the French exposants would not allow themselves to be surpassed by their com petitors, but that by the 28th of March each and all would be ready. Switzerland will exhibit, it is said, the famous reliquaries, donated by Charle magne to the Abbey of St. Maurice. They consist of two vases, one formed of precious metals, with Arabic enamels, and presented by a celebrated Arab chief to Charlemagne; the other is of onyx, beautifully covered with mythological figures in relief. Northern Germany is sending forward im mense trains, loaded with the manufactured produc tions of that country. There was quite an event here last week for the novelty loving—in the execution of the murderer Lemaire. Many endeavours had been made since the condemnation of the prisoner to obtain a com mutation of the sentence, but he strongly dis countenanced every effort in his bahalf, and urged quick work in the affair. This gave au increased interest, and a great desire was felt by many, to witness the execution. Though great secrecy was observed, the evening before the day appointed for the condemned to die it was whispered about that on the morrow the guillotine would perform its fatal work. Multitudes of the curious a la mode Anglaise at a London hanging, determined not to lose sight of so interesting a spectacle, took up their positions on the ground the night before, and, notwithstanding the freezing, wintry weather, kept their long watch until the victim's head had fallen, and his soul was launched into eternity. Many handsome equipages were present, and among the spectators were to be seen several fair women dressed in furs and velvets to shelter their frail frames from the piercing cold. At last the executioner arrived, examined the frame work, and tested the slide to see that it worked smoothly. Ile then let fall the mass of lead, to which the knife was to be attached, to be assured that it would operate properly in its grooves. The crowd, on the tip-toe of expectation, was silent ; and scarce a sound was heard during all the prelimi naries of the mournful ceremony. At 6 o'clock the gates of the Grande Roquette prison were thrown opea, the soldiers stood with drawn swords, a buzz was heard in the crowd, and silence again prevailed. An aide appeared, ascended the steps of the scaf fold, and placed the glittering knife in its socket. The prisoner then came forward, sustained on his right by the executioner, and on the left by an as sistant. His hands were bound behind his back with a cord, which then descended to his feet, which also were tied, leaving just play enough for him to walk without difficulty. His head was bare, his hair closely cut, and a collar turned down over a blue blouse exposed his handsome white neck. Ile was a tall, fine-looking man, with fair com plexion, light-coloured hair, and rather a distingu6 moustache and imperial. Ile marched with a firm upright manner, looking calmly to the right and left at the crowd gathered around him, and ascended the steps of the scaffold without any show of trepi dation. The attending priest then conversed a short time with him, offered the crucifix to kiss,which he declined; the execu tioner approached, adjusted the head of the condemned, by a simple movement de tached the elevated knife, a dull heavy sound was heard, and the head was severed from the body. A long low murmur arose from the assembled multi tude, and many expressed their gratification that the poor fellow had died game to the last. The exe cutioner raised the head, placing it in the basket, while his assistant took charge of the body for burial, and the crowd dispersed fully satisfied with the sight they had witnessed. There has been a petition, it is said, started in 1 , Paris, addressed to the Senate, praying that There seems to be universal rejoicing among the Paris Americans at the news of the confirmation of the appointment of Major-General Dix as Minister to France. General Dix, through life, as a poll ician, a statesmau, at home or abroad--as a soldier, in camp or in the field, has ever beat greatly admired, and his career such as to leave no stain, and well deserving the honours that a country, grateful for his valuable services, has conferred upon him. He is popular here with all who know him, and he will ever be appreciated by all of his countrymen who look upon him as the representative of their nation iu a foreign land. The sudden death of Charley Browne, " Artemus Ward," has cast a gloom over the circle of his friends here. He was known well by all Americans, and none who hear of his death can fail to regret that he should have passed away in the zenith of his fame, when the future held forth to him hopes of registering his name on the pages of literature, a. th,,- b —atest wit and humorist of his day. His friends iu Europe are anxious to pay a tribute of' respect to his memory, and there is no doubt many handsome subscriptions will be made, to place a fitting monu ment over his remains. He is well deserving this honour at the hands of his countrymen, and it is hoped immediate steps will be taken towards the advancement of this object. The celebrated Cousin has left by will to the College of the Sorbonnehis magnificent library, consisting of 114,000 volumes, among them many of the choicest works of literature. He also bequeathed a sum of money to be annually appropriated to take care of the books, payment of a librarian, &c. The bill granting a national recompense to M. de Lamartine of 400,000 francs, has been approved of by the Council of State. It is considered a very handsome gift to the renowned historian and poet, but it is insufficient to pay his accumulated debts. The Rev. J.S. E. Abbott, the celebrated Ameri can historian, has had a personal interview with the Emperor. Mr. Abbott, it will be remembered, is the author of " Abbott's Life of Napoleon Bona parte," which has been universally read and admired, and it is his intention to write the history of Napoleon 111. In selecting materials for his work he will be furnished with every facility, and there is no doubt that, with the Emperor for his theme, the able pen of the historian will produce a work eqaul, if not superior, to that previously of 'Napoleon Bonaparte. The Paris Americans were very desirous to extend to Mr. Cyrus W. Field a complimentary reception upon his arrival in France, and all seem to regret that the business'engagements of Mr. Field will not permit him to come there. Some days E ince there was a review by the Em peror at Vincennes of the young troops of the second portion of the contingent of the Seine. The Em peror was accompanied by the Empress, and the Imperial party was received by Marshal Canrobert, of the Ist Corps. The Prince Imperial has commenced to form a military household; he has appointed three ai•lcs-de camp, to commence their duties on the twelfth birth day of the Prince, March IGth. Murders in Paris are becoming daily more fre quent ; but readers of a journal, especially the fair ones, do not desire to hear of such things, so I will ❑ot offend " ears polite" by relating them. The European Powers seem one and all to be making grand military preparations by arming and exercis ing their troops, thinking that the old maxim, " In time of peace prepare for war," is one worthy to be adhered to, and that even now they " scent the battle from afar." The " INl‘Clacken Letter" is still discussed, and the noble " young American," who thus desired to " hand down his name to posterity," may have it " handed down," but hardly in the way he wished. Well does he deserve the attacks of the press, and there seem none to say of him " Requiescat in pace." _ _ To relieve the monotony of Lent there are to be several concerts at the Tuileries, the first to com mence on Monday, the 18th. The artists of the Opera Comique will be honoured by permission to inaugurate these musical soirees. The Italian Opera is to be rented from the Bth of July to 31st of August by Mr. Knowles, who was the first to introduce Jenny Lind to the public of the United Kingdom. " Lord Dundreary" is to be the piece performed, and Sothern is to appear in his famous role. There is no doubt it will be a perfect success, for among the many Americans and English who will then be iu Paris there will be few who will not go to see " Lord Dundreary." It is well known that there has been a company in operation in Paris whose business it is to conduct funeral obsequies after the "pomps and vanities of this wicked world" have been laid aside. Now another company has been formed for fitting out matrimonial processions, cere monies, &c. This society or company. is thus de scribed by a French paper :—" Its duties will be to assume the preparations of matrimonial pomps at every price. There will be first, second, and third classes ; that is to say, for the street : carriages, fiacres, and cabs; for the church : the grand altar, with more or less candles, and the organs ; the small altar, without organ, or chairs decorated with velvet or plain, according to the class represented. There will be nuptial chambers, furnished at all prices." The marriages of the basse classe can be accommo dated cheap with a garret, furnished with a shawl for a window curtain. " In a word, for a price fixed upon in advance, be it large or small, the happy"— or unhappy, as the case may be—" bridegroom will have no trouble with preparations, and can devote his whole attention to his bride." A commendable zeal is manifested by the Ameri cans in Paris for the education of their youth of both sexes. Many, however, do not desire to con fide their daughters entirely to the care of French institutions. New, I believe there is to be a school opened for young ladies, under the care of Mrs. Deming, long known here as a resident, which will be conducted upon the same principles as in America, and be a great addition to the American circle here. The conferring of title of e,E:opfertohre es up ta o b n lis t h he - King of Prussia, as the conse q u ment of closer relations between Northern and Southern Germany, is generally discussed by the Press of Europe. The efforts of the Poles to prevent the entrance of the provinces of Posen and Western Prussia into the Confederation of North Germany will no doubt be fruitless, and if fruitless the nam;. , , of Poland will disappear entirely from the map of Europe. The completion of the refitting of the Great Eastern has created general satisfaction, and much interest is felt in her departure from the Mersey to New York. Her comfortable and magnificent ar rangements are on a very grand scale, and as a description of them may prove of interest, I will endeavour to give one. The space once occupied by the cable-tanks hai been converted into cabin berths and commodious state-rooms. The decorations are of a superior and elegant character. She will be able to carry 3,000 passengers, and the different dining saloons will seat at one time 2,000. Comfort and y accom modation of the best description beevevery guarantee:] those who may come in the " grea t ship" across the waters. In my next letter I will endeavour to describe spaces occupied by the different nations in the Exposition building, and the nature of some of the goods and articles that have already arrived for admission. Paris has begun to put on a new coat of paint upon its streets, decorate its gardens, and make other preparations suitable to coming visitors. There is certainly no ci efik world that can appear to better advantage ; its bright and smiling aspect will give a cheerful wel come to all who visit it, and its lovely drives, promenades, gardens, operas, theatres, and gay life will cause many to linger here for many mouths. Spring violets, sermons, concerts, and a stray ray of sun now and then, have led us to hope for some thing more edifying than we have done, since balls, masquerades, and flirting have had their own way in the upper circles. Ash-Wednesday, in its grave, sober suit, hasim-. I pressed many with a conviction, that to be less ex travagantly attired, and to enjoy social meetings Te quietly, would be but becoming fiog a season ; and could such Lenten thoughts arise in the minds of a fiw more than the in my I allude to, we should not despair of the youth of our age. Th it follies, alas ! are rather to be laid to the account of their elders for the very indifferent education given by them in bowitig time. Parents have au idea that a large amount of motley spent on accomplishments must be " the making" of their offspring. Schools are now sought after where there is to be no schooling, no hardships, plenty of liberty, and private masters for every thing. Mothers, whose grandmothers (dear good old souls) rose at six to visit their dairies, and never sat down to a meal that did not boast of at least one dish of their own. cookery (and what a deli cious relish it had !), have nowadays girls who can not bear early hours, who must take steel to give them an appetite, and who could not live without the most expensive food. They would positively die if they had not their yearly mineral waters, and sea-side bathing, and, what is almost as bad, they cannot walk above five minutes at a time. They fortunately can dance,-the valse a ilcux temps, re dowas, new polkas, mazurkas, &c., without which they would certainly droop; poor young crea tures ! Their great-grandmothers, too, I repeat, knitted all the warm woollen under-clothing which their great grandfathers drew on so nimbly before setting lout betimes on their farming avocations, whereas now their female descendants can do nothing with their fingers but a little crochet or fancy work, and that only at tea •parties, for the sake of having something to toy with. The idea of darning one's brother's socks would appear as pre posterous to them as their own small ideas do to you, readers, and myself. Others only condescend to take lessons, providing they are taught by the very best masters (not the best in every sense)—. those are meant who ask the highest terms, and who, having nothing to do with beginners, of course gave themselves the least trouble. Singing masters, whose names do not end with an Italian " i" cannot be worth much, while American and English talent are as little believed in, as native refinement. All our talents and good manners (?) must come from the continent, and yet mothers are daily heard who complain that hi jeune France has lost its chivalric spirit of polite attention to ladies. It is but fair to say a word to exonerate all this jeunesse from such a dire accusation, and to suggest . that the fault is not entirely on the strong side. 1 have observed that gentlemen's manners depend very much on those of the ladies with whom they associate. It is evident we have no right to expect attentions or any conveniences at the disposal of gentlemen if we, who ought to be models of feminine modesty, will indulge in open benoiting. La jeune France has not lost its proverbial old spirit, for it revives when in its natural element ; but /a jeunc France has taken a few hard lessons of late. It has been frowned at for small offences, it has been laughed at for its faith in the fair sex, it has been rudely pushed by on staircases, twittered at behind fans, stared at through firmly-levelled opera-glasses, loudly accosted and nodded at in public streets, which operations have not been undergone without twinges of inward annoyance. Where is the wonder if, after this, pride and pique should have estranged young men from the belles of our drawing-rooms? When ladies cease sailing down the Rue de la Paix, leaving their husbands but; just room enough for one foot on the kerbstone, while the other is left to explore the gutter, it is probable that la jeune Fr 1771 Ce will look zu.y ~hearthey knock one down or tear one's train off instead of cont:nting them selves with a " Pardon, madame," which in their heart of hearts they would rather do without. If well-bred sisters and daughters dispose of their evenings without making one effort to entertain their fathers and brothers at home, it is likely these honourable supports of society will carry the strength of their admiration and muscle to the Eldorado, where they will vociferate bravoes and diminish their energies in loud clapping, without even giving an impetus thereby to the glove-trade, for people are not expected to wear kid gloves at the cafe concerts, and Theresa herself is not particular. This reminds me that Theresa is resting, and that Mdlle. Cornelie is drawing crowds to the divas temple such large audiences—in fact, that the Go vernment " causeurs" have given it as their opinion that Mdlle. Cornelie is a dangerous person ; not because her style is two florid, but because she has taken to tragic outpourings, which it appears are more exciting than the "femme a barbe." Mdlle. Cornelie, in one word, is a great tragedian, and bad she been fortunateenough to remain at the Theatre Francais, her flan - 1.3 would be coupled with those of . our best actresses; only managers do sometimes make mistakes, and are often hard of conviction until the public voice rise in one " Tolle ! toile !" Corneille and Racine positively look treasonable when given out from behind the fumes of tobacco proceeding from the pipes of the Eldorado habitue's. The numerous Parisian administrateurs who ever must administer something for the sums paid them, look upon Mdlle.

Mr. Ponsard's new piece, " Galilee," knows all about censorship. Verdi's " Don Carlos" and Mr. de Girardin's opinions have also come under notice ; and if I keep not to my fashions, even I may be cut out of the Franco, which to me is the land of the living. PORTRAIT OF THE QUEEN IN ENAMEL. MeSSrS. Dickenson, of 114, New Bond-street, have recently com pleted the enamel portrait of her Majesty, intended as a present to Mr. George Peabody ; a memento of her Majesty's appreciation of that gentleman's generosity to the poor of London. Tho enamel is the largest which has been pro duced in this country; the plate is of solid gold, and no pains have been spared to produce as perfect a work of the kind as possible. Her Majesty afforded special sittings to the painter, Mr. F. A. Tilt, and throughout sl c i wed great interest i m the undertaking; and some idea may be formed of I he_ labour and critical nature of the process when we state that I wel ve months have been spent on a surface of 10 inches by 14. The results aro very satisfactory, inasmuch as a most faithful portrait of the Queen has been secured in matorials which aro considered almost imperishable. It is not commonly expected of the enameller that he shall approail the truth of nature with the same nicety as I painters in oil or water-colouriA•yet-we have seen few miniatures truer in tint and texturo than the present ono by Mr. Tilt. Her Majesty appears in simple black, re lieved 1 , 3 , a light veil falling from a diadem of pearls. Thoso and the broad blue ribbon servo to impart force to the features, which are tinted with unusual delicacy, and modelled with a fidelity that has seldom been sur passed. In the course of a few days the portrait (which is admirably set) will be forwarded to the 'British Minister at Washington to be presented to Mr. Peabody, who, we hear, has been to much expense in preparing a room specially for the Royal gift.
