Mr. Charles Mathews took his farewell benefit on
Saturday night at the Varietes. One of the pieces
was "Un Anglais Timide," in which he has been
Playing for some time at the same house. The en-
tertainment was varied by nzorceaux from some of
the favourite operas, in which the celebrated singer
Roger and other eminent artistes took part. At the
close of the " Anglais Timide" several of the old
favourites of the Parisian public made their entry
on the stage, and were most cordially received.
Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm at the sight
of Bouffe, who appeared in the costume of one of
his old parts. Bouffe himself seemed much affected
by his reception. Mr. Mathews must be greatly
delighted with his success before a Parisian audi-
ence, and the announcement that he meant to re-
turn next year was received with a burst of applause.
The house was crowded to the very top, though
the prices were doubled.

THE EGYPTIAN HALL.—Mr. Lord's very interest-
ing, Pleasing, and instructive entertainment, " At
Home in the Wilderness," has now enjoyed an uninter-
rupted run of 140 nights, and may now be said to be one of
the established sights of the metropolis. Judging from the
crowded state of the hall night after night, we may safely
predict, now that the seaside has assumed its wintry aspect,
that the hall will during this season present even a more
crowded appearance; certain it is, however, that the claims
of Mr. Lord's lecture, panorama, and songs merit all the
patronage that can, or will be, accorded to him. The
novelty introduced last night, which we fear was necessi-
tated by Mr. Lord's over-exertion for so long a period, was
a fellow-traveller on the journey through the wilderness,
who sings several of Mr. Lord's songs on the way. The
artist is Mr. H. Regaldi, a tenor, we believe known favour-
ably to the musical public, and who, when a little more
accustomed to the perils and vicissitudes of a trapper's life,
will be a welcome companion to Mr. Lord and the public.
VICTOR HUGO'S DAUGHTER has been well re-
ceived in her newly-adopted country, and great has
been the regret at Hauteville House caused by her depar-
ture for Halifax, where her husband is at present stationed.
Victor lingo's genius has shown itself in his daughter in
another form than his own, she being a wonderful
musician,
