VICTOR HUGO AND THE " MONITEUR."

M. Charles Hugo has addressed the following
letter to the Mottiters :

" Oct. 6.

. TO FHB ZEDACTZUB-111•CHEF OF THZ ' I(OMTIUL

" In pursuance of the law, I require you to insert this
letter in your next number. I read in your journal of
October 5, on the subject of the interdiction of the
drama Leo Miserobtes, a note which itls desirable to explain.
The fade ate these :—On the 12th of August last, M. de
Chilly, the manager of the Ambigu Theatre, was sent for
by Y. Camille Donaet. A vaudeville d'adualitl, called
Les Miserable* Parlous, bad been refused by the committee
of censure, and thereupon M. Camille Doucet announced to
Y. de Chilly that the following r .solution had been come
to, namely, that the drama founded on the Mialrables, not
yet finished, but accepted at the Ambigu and limply as-
mamma, yea preventively prohibited, and that, further
any allusion to the personage' of the novel woulei
be prohibited in the theatrical pieces of the new
year. The manager of the Ambigu, finding his
interests thus seriously menaced, thought fit, by a
letter dated August 22, to appeal from this unpre-
cedented decision, and urged his right to send the piece
to the committee of censure for examination. It was then,
and then only, that, in pursuance of the foregone °wan-
gall the drama of the Miserable' was interdicted, in the
ordinary course, on the report of the committee. Thus it
appears that the preventive measure was announced on
August 12, and the regular interdiction was only intimated
on September 13. I do not doubt, for the rest, that the
right claimed by the manager of the Ambigu under the
above circumstances will be most scrupulously accorded to

. _
the authors of the DOW year's reviews who may choose to
insist upon it.
"Documents and dates prove superabundantly, however,
that a preventive measure of interdiction preceded the ex-
amination of the drama by the committee of censure and
its negative conclusion.-1 have the honour, &c.,
"CEußize How."

THE ACCIDENT TO THE GREAT EASTERN.

The mammoth ship still lies in Flushing Bay,
where the damage sustained by running on a roth off
Montauk Point on her last trip to this port is being
repaired. We learn that the reports of experienced
divers allow that the ship's bottom was opened by the
reek along • single line of her outer plate for •
distance of several feet. The inner " skin" or
hull of the ship was not touched, and remains as dry as on
the day of launching, and the vessel could promo& on her
voyage across the ocean to-day with more safety than can
any vessel having but • single hull. Neverthelees, ber
allows and agents are pushing forward her repair by a very
simple method, tried once before in Milford Haven with
entire success, and which has the entire approbation of dis-
tinguished American engineers.
The mode is euriole and interesting as it is simple. A
large scow, with sides of proper height, is preparing to be
used as • coffer-dam. It is made to fit the bottom of the
vessel at the point of fracture, and its edges are padded so as
to close perfectly over any inequalities that may be found
upon the hull. At the side of the scow (or coffer-d•m)
are two abate or manholes, which will pass up the side
of the ship, reaching above the water's edge when
It shall have been adjusted to its plan► The
scow when sufficiently stink will be floated
under the ship's hull, and fastened securely in posi-
tion by chains hove taut. This done, pumps inserted in the
man-boles will free the scow of water, and admit the men
sod materials to repair the damage. It is believed there
will be no difficulty in making the vessel just as perfect as
before she touched the rack. A few days more will give
US the moult of the experiment—if that can be called such
which hoe already bees *nos immomfally accomplished. In
the meantime 'Analog* is being taken of the opportuaity
to thoroughly overhaul, paint, and refurnish the Great
&stern from stem to stern.—Nets York Times, Sept. 24.
