As is always the case when unforeseen hitches
arise in important public undertakings, the usual mass of
COTTespondence has been forwarded to Mr. Chichester, the
secretary for the Millwall works, containing with regard to
the Northumberland hints, advioes, suggestions, offers of
patents, kc. One ingenious gentleman devotes a long
manuscript to showing how if a dock is built round the
Northumberland, and carefully filled with bales of cotton,
on which scalding waters to be poured, the expansion
must infallibly make the vessel rise !

A Paris correspondent writes :—" You remember
a few years ago the sensation Rigolbooke excited ; print
shops were crowded by beardless boys and moustachioed
men in search of her photograph, and some of which, by
the bye, were taken in the most impossible (I use the word
in a French sense) of attitudes. To secure &fanfold for the
night she danced one bad to go down in the morning and
pay a frightful sum. Cravata ala Bigelboche, Rigolboche
valsea,Rigolbeche everything was the order of the day. But
Theresa appeared at one of the cafes chantante, and the
queen of the Jockey and every other club was dethroned—
the coarse license of Theresa's gestures had eclipsed Rigel-
beche's attitudes. She died bast week in the ward of a
public hospital, and was buried in the fosse commune. Her
fate reads like the last chapter of s novel, but is neverthe-
less true."

average of 4,637 fr. per night. The gains of the author for
the same period were—first, 10,000 fr. by way of premium ;
second, author's tickets to the amount of 10efr. for each
performance ; and third, 12 per cent. on the money taken
at the doors, so that he hu received in three months •
