COST OF HONOURS.—The fees payable on making the
Emperor Napoleon 111. a Knight of the Garter amounted
to £479 13s 4d. They were defrayed out of the public
funds.

FIRE AT SEA.—The Jessie Miller, Captain Donald
Taylor, arrived at Athens on the 16th March, from Liver-
pool, reports that, on the Bth March, a vessel on fire was
sighted. The vessel proved to be the brig Nonpareil, of
Brigham, bound to the Crimea, with a cargo of patent fuel.
The crew, who had abandoned the burning vessel, were
picked up by Captain Taylor, and conveyed to Athens, where
they were landed.

FATAL DUEL. IN FRANCE.-A duel took place on Tues-
day, at St. Germain, between two officers of the Guides. in
which one of them was run through the body and killed
on the spot. The quarrel arose out of a difference of
opinion upon a matter of fact, one of the parties having
affirmed that the army of Lyons would come to Paris
for the review, and the other denying it !
The Baltic fleet no longer exists in official recognition ' •
it was merged into the home fleet yesterday. on which
day Admiral Dundas and Admiral Baynes gave up their
respective appellations of Cornmander-in-Chief and
second in command of the Baltic fleet. The captain of
said fleet, the Hon. F. T. Pelham, changed his position
at the same time. The whole fleet now at Portsmouth
is placed under the command-in-chief of Admiral Sey-
mour, the Port Admiral. Immediately after the review
it was rumoured that 10,000 seamen will be discharged
from the fleet. These men consist for the most part of
the men drawn from the coast guard at the outset of the
war, and sueh others as have served fully and longer
than the usual term of commission. It is said there will
be a permanent channel fleet of exercise and training,
consisting of twelve sail of the line.

MR. BARRY SIILLIVAN.—We are very much gratified to
perceive that Mr. Barry Sullivan has renewed for a short
time his engagement at the Amphitheatre. The range of
parts he has chosen for this engagement are peculiarly
adopted to exhibit the highest development of his undoubted
dramatic genius. Mr. Sullivan is an actor of an eminently
intellectrai character. He never aims at bringing down
a burst of sudden applause by the making of some startling
5-‘6"
and thea t-' e-

Uric point, but ,tiibits a constant effort to be
faithful to the ideal of the character he represents, and to
seek no factitious and questionable admiration by being
other than an identification with it. This ideal he follows
boldly as well as faithfully, and casts fearlessly away the
most time-honoured precedents and traditions of the stage,
where reflection shews that their origin was not in the
brain of the poet, but in the ill judging personal ambition
of the actor. Mr. Sullivan does not strive to carry away his
audience by a series of startling contrasts or picturesque
effects, but appeals to the intellect and the appreciation of
those who desire to see an embodiment of the poet's crea-
tion, rather than any individual and physical display. He
has won his present position on the stage by no mere
sudden seizing of popular caprice, and for the future can
only progress upward, and need fear no revulsion of public
favour.
