THE FLIGHT OF MDLLE. CRUVELLI
The following is an extract from a letter received
from Paris this morning
" In one of my recent letters I alluded to the
sudden flight of Mdlle. Cruvelli, and the embar-
rassment created at the Grand Opera, where she
was to have appeared on Monday last in the Hugue-
nots, when it was discovered that the prima donna
had not only not arrived at the theatre, but that
she had fled from Paris. The immediate effect of
it was that the house had to be closed for that even-
ing, and that the manager has been obliged to
refund the money taken at the doors. The affair
is likely to become serious as respects tiie fair
and eccentric damsel. So grave a breach of
her engagement, and of her duty to the public,
has been taken up by the public prosecutor. The
Minister of State caused on Saturday a demand to
be presented to the President of .the Tribunal for
an authorisation to take measures for the repara-
tion of the injury done to the Opera. The Presi-
dent, after inquiring into the facts, directed that a
seizure should be made of the lady's furniture in
her residence, Rue Trouchet, 15, and of any money
belonging to her which may be in the hands of M.
de Rothschild. He also decided that the amount
for which securities should be taken should be
100,000 f. The seizures authorised were at once
effected. At Mdlle. Cruvelli's residence it was stated
that no one knew what had become of her. The
salary of Mdlle. Cruvelli at the Opera was 100,000 f.
for eight months.. and she was only required to
sing eight times a month. The friends of Made-
moiselle Cruvelli still affirm that the only reason
for her disappearance is that her name was not put
in large characters on the playbills. They state
that Mademoiselle Cruvelli is entitled to that dis-
tinction by her engagement, and that, not seeing
her name en vidette, she was entitled to ignore the
fact of her name being on the bill at all, and .to
consider that her services for the evening were not
required. The same parties say that Mademoiselle
Cruvelli has acted under the advice of M. Hebert,
who was Minister of Justice under Louis Philippe.
It is',Enot known (at least to the public) where
Mademoiselle Cruvelli has gone to. Her servants
state that she went out as if merely for a walk, and
that they had no idea she was not to return. Cer-
ain it is that she has left all her property, even to
ier money and trinkets, behind her, and that every-
thing has been seized 1;y the officers of justice."

FUNERAL OF MARSHAL DE
ST. ARNAUD.
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
This being the day fixed for the funeral of Mar-
shal de St. Arnaud, the streets and boulevards
through which the procession was to pass were
crowded from an early hour. It had been fixed,
although the body was to come from Lyons only
this morning, that the ceremony of the interment
should take place at once. The body of the de-
ceased Marshal reached the terminus of the Lyons
Railway at about 8 o'clock this morning. One of
the waiting-rooms leading into the inner court was
appropriately fitted up as a Chapelle Ardente for
its reception. The walls were hung with black, with
groups of tricolour flags, and escutcheons between
the drapery bearing the arms and cipher of the
deceased. In the centre was a handsome catafalque,
on which the coffin was placed, covered with a
velvet pall, also bearing the cipher of the Marshal,
and on the top of the coffin were laid on cushions the
baton, sword, cocked hat, epaulets, and other in-
signia of the deceased. The catafalque, which was
surrounded by a number of waxlights, had a guard
of honour. At the head and foot of the coffin were
a number of the clergy reading the funeral service.
No official reception was given to the body at the
station, that being reserved for the Invalides. It
was accompanied only by the aides-de-camp of the
Marshal, who had come with it from the East, and
by the officers sent to receive it at Marseilles. The
only member of the corps diplontatique who was
amongst the personages in waiting at the station to
join in the procession was the Ottoman ambassador
in full costume, accompanied by the personnel of
his embassy, all in full dress, and wearing sabres.
The Duke do Cambaceres, grand master of the
ceremonies, and the grand equerry to the Emperor,
were also there in their brilliant official costumes,
as well as a number of generals and other officers.
At a quarter before ten the clergy left their
place in the Chapelle Ardente, and took their seats
in two mourning carriages in advance of the funeral
car, and in a few minutes after a salute of thirteen
guns was fired from a battery stationed on the
Place de la Bastille, which announced that the
body had been removed from the catafalque and
deposited on the car, which was very handsomely
decorated, and bearing the arms and cipher of the
Marshal, and drawn by six horses, caparisoned. in

lowed by three persons in mourning cloaks, carry-
ing cushions, on which were borne the various in-
signia of the deceaied Marshal, which had been
lying on the coffin in the Chapelle Ardente. These
were immediately followed by the aide-de-camp of
the deceased Marshal, who had accompanied the
body from the East. Next came the charger of
the Marshal, covered with a net ornamented with
silver stars. After it came a state carriage of the
six horses, and two other car-
Emperor, drawn by
riaees, with four horses each, and these were
followed by a number of mourning and private
carriages.
On reaching the outer er,uttvar,l of tile terminus
the car halted, in order that the troops which were
to form the head of the procession might file off be-
