THE EMPRESS EUGENIE AND ROSA BONHEUR.---
The Empress Eugenie this week, when passing
through Thomery daring a drive in the environs of Fon-
tainebleau, stopped at the residence of Mdlle. Rose Bola-
heur, and requested to see her studio. The artist at once
acceded to her Majesty's wishes, and showed her the diffe-
rent paintings on which she is at present engaged, as well
as many fine studies of animals. A painting representing
a stag leading a herA of hinds along the summit of a rockY
eminence especially attracted the notice of her Majesty'
After passing an hour in the studio the Empress took leave,
having first obtained a promise that her private collection
should be enriched by a picture by Mdlle. Bonheur.
THE ALABAMA.—We observe that ths BrieiB4
Army and Navy Review for July gives a complete narrative
of the brilliant engagement between this celebrated cruiser
and the Kearsage.
THE LAMBDA-NU (whatever that may be!) Teri
centenary Poem on Shakspere, written by J. A. Allen, and
published by John Morgan, of Strattord-upon-Avon,
ha
just made its appearance in the form of a pamphlet of 4'
pages of verse and appendix.
THREE FAMOUS BASS SINGERS.—George #5123"'
Tinney, and fligrnaa. There was not much
once observable between any of these three gentletnen, with
this exception, that he who went lowest, stood higist ;
thus
Tinney got well down to E flat, George Smith ran him hard,
and growled down to D ; but Higman, the Polyphemus r
this grumbling band, held a good, round, powerful dourer
e
C which defied all competition. These vocalists se ere ,
and upon all occasions singing " The Wolf," a robber of
song composed by Shield, for the opera of " The Cadee'L
Andalusia." No matter what the Occasion might he--3
public dinner, a ball, a marriage, or a funeral—it IligEnall
got a chance of singing, it was sure to ho " The W.olfe''
All the theatrical bass singers of that period were robbers,
and generally adopted a sort of Spanish costume, tut of so
mixed a character, that it would have been difficult in the
extreme to have associated them with any dogree of cer-
tainty with any country—they were robbers, and that Wst;
enough : they sang " The Wolf," and that was all which
could be desired.—Bent y Phillips Recollections.
A BEADLE'S INGENUITY.—There may now" be
seen in the Salle des Etats, in the palace of the Louvre, a

Mamma, beadle of the chapel of Versailles, now in the 78th
year of his age.

THE REPRESENTATION OF SOUTHAMPTON.—/Are
have much gratification in announcing that Wo
have received an authorised communication that Mr Ras-
sell Gurney, Q.C,, deputy chairman of the Royal Mail

a general election, become a candidate, in conjunction with
Mr Alderman Rose, for the representation of this borough

meantime receive any Government appointment, as
has been occasionally surmised, that Mr Russell
Gurney will be equally prepared to offer himself
as a candidate for the vacant seat. So that, in either case,
we shall have to congratulate the port cf Southampton
on
having a most efficient representative, in addition to our
present excellent member, Alderman Rose, in the person of
a gentleman not only distinguished as the Recorder of the
City of London, but as an old director and deputy chair-
man of the West India Company, who will thus most
powerfully represent the thriving company of which heck a
very valuable member, as weal as its great steatn•Pa
