SKILFUL MINIICELY.—I was again at Count
Darn's, and was not a little astonished when Baron Dos-
genettes stepped up to me, and expressed a wish to see the
personification of himself, about which he had heard so
much, and begged I would, for a few minutes, become his
representative. I could not refuse a request which con-
veyed so high a compliment to me, though I confess I felt
somewhat diffident in attempting the imitation in the pre-
sence of my distinguished model. By degrees, however,
I got inspired with my subject : I moved about, chatting
first with people on my right, then with others on my Id',
placing my band on the hilt of my swerd, after the doc-
tor's peculiar manner. I had at my tongue's end some
sof the happy mots which were currently assigned to him,
and I contrived to bring them in, not perhaps very inaptly.
Then, advancing to a lady, and conjuring up all my recol-
lections of my first interview with the doctor, on his visit
to Mademohtelle Mars, I went through a great part of the
consultation scene, winding up the whole with a gracious
adieu to Talmo, and a bow to Fleury. A loud round of
approbation rewarded my effort. Desgenettes was in
ccstacy ; he laughed heartily, and, advancing to me, cor-
dially shook my hand, and expressed his astonishment at
any power of mimicey.—Theodore Hook's French Stage.
THE ROYAL EXCHANGE.—The attention of
'the public should be drawn to a subject which, if not
Apromptly attended to by the proper authorities, will mate-
q&ally affect the comfort and convenience of all who may
kave business to transact et the Bank and the Royal Ex-
change about tp be erected. By virtue of an Act obtained
by the Bank for the widening and improving the streets
adjoiLing, the old church at the corner of St. Bartholo-
mew-tang was pulled down, and the ground sold to the
:Sun Fire-Ace, for the purpose of erecting their new
>building upon that site, according to a plan approved of by
vthe Lords of the Treasury, and agreed upon between them.
',Whether by an 6versight or otherwise, we cannot say, but
06.rtain it is, that the Sun Fire-office are now laying down
theta• foundation full four feet in advance of the line as laid
down in their agreement with the Treasury, thus curtailing
by so much the width and dimension of the net! street. We
trust that the proper authorities will lose no time in inves-
tigating the subject, in order that the public may not suffer
by the cupidity of private interests, in direct violation of
t.tho Act made for their protection.
SA.VRE, APRIL 12.—The City of London
on approaching the "deb% this morning made signal
of distress, and another steamboat was sent to her as-
sistance. She has brought her into Barbour. The main
beam of the .engine is broken, and it is feared she must
return to Lonci,,lu to be righted.
