SONTAG.—For the last two months Madame Sontag
and the distinguished artistes who accompany her
have been making an uninterrupted musical progress
through the country. Their success has increased as
they have proceeded. Within the last fortnight they
have experienced an enthusiastic reception from
crowded audiences at Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liver-
pool, Plymouth, Exeter, Worcester, Bath, and Bristol.
The great prima donna, if she has astonished her
auditors by her marvellous powers of florid execution,
has created still more sensation by the classical
purity, simplicity, and pathos with which she delivers
music of sentiment. She has shown herself an ad-
mirable exponent of real feeling in opposition to ex-
aggerated passion, which, from bad taste, or to cover
poverty of natural vocal resources, is now so often
employed ; and in this tournte her singing of " Home,
sweet Home " has created as much enthusiasm as her
unparalleled execution of Rode's variations. The
party is at present at Norwich, where two concerts
are announced.
A RED EMPEROR.—We have bad a Sixteen•string
Jack. It is not the fault of the precious young Emperor
Francis Joseph, that the Austrians have not a Sixteen-
string Emperor. lie has a great taste for hanging; but
was baulked in his delight by Count Batthyany, whose
self•inflicted wounds rendered such mode of death im-
possible. Whereupon, he was shot; and Haynau licked
his tiger lips. Hungarian women of the highest classes,
we are told, endeavoured—but were not permitted—to
steep their handkerchiefs in the blood.of the murdered
man. But the blood did not sink. It helps to dye the
Emperor. And, as it is with a certain insect, that " the
finest red" dyes the " deepest black," so with the Em-
peror's, the purer the blood that is shed, the blacker the
stain that is left.—Punch.

On Monday evening a man was observed to walk
deliberately into the Collingwood Dock, and before any
assistance could be rendered he was drowned. His body
was recovered shortly after the occurrence. An inquest
was held yesterday, and a verdict in accordance with
the facts returned. The body was not recognised...-
Liverpool Times.
CISTERNS—PURE WATER..—A correspondent of the
Builder says—" Allow me to suggest what I think would
be a remedy for the fault found in y our last number with
the conical• shaped cistern, having the tap at the bottom.
Let there be a tap there, but let it be a waste tap, and
have another a little way up the side of the cistern. By
this means the cistern could be kept clean, and no eedi-
ment would snd its way into the tap used for supplying
water for 119.0491 d purp9ito."
