LATEST FROM PARIS.

(BY SI:BNIARINE TELEGRAPH)
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
PARIS, SATURDAY SEVEN A.M.
M. Acbile Fould is named Minister of State, to
replace M. de Casabianca.—Chronicle.

VAUXHALL.—The entire lyrical troupe of her Ma-
jesty's Theatre will appear in a Grand Musical Festival on
Monday. The great Lablache, Gardoni, Calzolari, Belletti,
Ferlotti, Madame Lagrange, Ida Bertrand, and Madame
Fiorentini will sing their most popular pieces. There is also
an entirely new romantic ballet, entitled Leda; or the En-
chanted Lake, with Madlles. Pieron and Julien, and the Pa-
risian Corps de Ballet. These novel attractions will no doubt
fill the Royal property to overflowing.
MIC. RONEY AND THE CHESTER. AND HOLYHEAD
—TOURS IN IRELAND.—We regret to hear that Mr. Rcney's
connexion with this company is about to close. It is tine
his appointment in the first instance was merely temporary,
but he has certainly done more in eighteen months to assimi-
late Ireland to England than all our discordant legislation has
effected in fifty years. Mr. Roney is, we believe, to be en-
trusted with the integral management of the North of Eu-
rope Steam Navigation Company and the Danish lines lead-
ing to the ports to and from whence the packets are intended
to sail. A vigorous and intelligent mind is sure of congenial
employment, no matter where it may be placed.—Runway
Times.

We regret to hear that the lion. Sidrey Harbert,
my., left London on Thursday night, for Paris, having
been sent for in Consequence of the dangerous illness of his
brother, the Earl of Pembroke.

THE ROYAL CatusE.—We understand that her
Majesty and his Royal lligbness Prince Alb3rt purpose re-
suming the coast cruise in a few days, and that the route will
be eastwards.
