They charm the eye,- but seldom reach the heart :

THEATRICAL HOAX IN PARIS.

PARIS, JAN.. 17.--Lritp church of St. Roque, in
the rue St. liono.re, scents -destined to be the
theatre of `destructive or alarming exhibitions.—
;The -traces . of, &ninaparte are still visible in the
stepsaud on the-walls of that emisecrated build-
ing; whert the fire of, his artillery was poured up-
.: on the defenceless multitude by tfhich they were
surrounded---and when by this;.theearliest of his
civic exploits., he laid the foundationS of his future..
Empitc, in the Wood of the inhabitants of Paris.
This day, the same spot was signalized by a spec-
tacie to thefull as extraordinary, though less Ira-
gicarin its'innoedjatecems.equenees—what its re-
.mote ones nuts`-be,- I. do not pretend. to
Mademoiselle. ,Rancour, a- celebrated- actress- of
t Theatre:Franpis, , and 'a -woman of respec-
table character.;„died three 'days -agO, at the age
of 60. Her corpse, attendett. by a-string of car-
.riages,and-a large concourse of people.Ofall ranks
'and aeseriptions, was brotight flit; interment this
mOrnin;',..„ to the:chorea StAoque. . -Vott-Jtnow

co ammication,; which, if. enforced; would tle
.ptive them of the beurfits.:of Christian burial.—
Many years have passed .away since any such bar-
barno's exclusion was Practiieit here ;•antfcertainlv
•the attendants on the frantibs this deceased
perforiner were little prepared for the disappoint-.
Merit Which awaited the.tii, • when they found the
mares of the chuich locked against theca,. and ad-
IniSsion. peremptorily refused. Their dismay was
succeeded by the Universal indignation of the spec-
: tators. An ithmense .-Crowd began to assemble ;
cries of fury and vengeance.Nrere:hearii in all the
adjoinink.qUarters Of Paris the'rueSt, Hotto,re,
and all the avenues within a quarter of .a (if
the scene; were blocked up :by the pointlace..—
The church dolrs were broken open, bat no priest
appeared, and the most frightful disturbance
was' apprehended.;. nor sr-as it supposed -that the
effects of the poitl ir agitation 'would end with
the cause which had produced it: the mean
time a message WaS sent to the King, -supplicat-
ing his Maksty's interposition, for the sake of
humanity, and for the public Peace of die capital.
The first answer returned from the. Castle was,
that the belonged to the jurisdiction of the
Church, and that theKing'eould not in:et-muddle
with the Spiritual Authorities. ~A second Depu-
tation /11'bl:ceded to the Thuilleries, as the tumult
increased, and the danger of some movement ap-
proachinti to insurrection became every moment
more visible:. At .the same tithe a declaration Was
communicated ro the Court, on the part of gill.
the Actors, Actresses; and Attendants on every
theatre in Paris, that if the remains of Mademoi
Rancour were not, instantly admitted I'ol the
privileges of Christian sepulture, they Would.ltt.

and brought back an order frotn'the-King to the
Priesthood, to riiceivc the corp-se, -and read the

tumult. The military. of all
_Classes acted .with
ex-emplaryforbearance, and not a single life was
lost, nor a bloiv with the sabre given.
P.„ S. I havejust.-heard .that the same Priest
who raised .the disturbance of this morning,: had
once attempted something of the.. sine kind early
in the reign-of Bu9naparte ;..brit pretensions of
that nature were not to the taste of him who never
tolerated a double tyranny,—,the offending, curt:

A I{“VT. TO THE LONDON MANAGERS,—We
have to record the fate of a Tragedy called' The
'Step Mother, produced to a very' good audience
yesterday evenink. It- is • evidekatly t-her first at-
tempt -of a person of no -mean abilities. The
speeches are frequently good, but they are also
frequently too long; and the catastrophe may be
anticipated in-too early a part of the play. There
were frequent plaudits, but also frequent moments:
of langour and delay. This langour proved de-
structive to the interests of the Tragedy, and con-
siderable opposition. attended the fall of the cur-
tain. The audience not seeming dispOsed to have
it acted again, Mr. 111URRAY stepped forward and
informed them, that Mr. SIDDONS, who came out
to= chi his duty to the public, after indisposition,
and whose part finished early, was gone -home,
but had commissioned him to: say
.that no play
would ever be acted on the Edinburgh stage,
against the consent of the publie.• Another Was
then announced, a4ul harmony teitord„—(Edia-
