SCENES IN THE FRENCH THEATRES.—On Sunday
the managers of the Porte St. Martin gave a gratui-
tous representation at two o'clock. The house was
crammed, and Frederic Lemaitre was the principal
actor. The play was Vic Chiffonnier. In the well-
known paunier scene his auditors were raised to a
pitch of indescribable entlitisiasm. Lemaitre, as the
chiffonnier, hooked a royal crown out of his ham-
per, and at this opportune " hit" the whole audience
rose en masse, and a roar, for it cannot be called a cry,
of " Viva la Republique !" reverberated through the
foundations of the edifice. The actor afterwards drew
forth a police ordinance, and exclaimed " All banquets
are prohibited!" a sally which was, of course, received
with shouts of laughter. The Marseillaisc hymn was
then chanted, followed by the celebrated Chant du De-
part, after which the audience dispersed. The C.Tiuriva,i
was distributed in the theatre gratis.
TIM LASS RUN AWAY WITH THE LAD.—A few
days ago, at Gretna Green, a marriage took place
between Miss Catherine Browne, of Ulverstone,
and Mr. Cunningham, of Jamaica. The lady is
just turned twenty-one, and the bridegroom, who is at
present learning land surveying in Cumberland, has just
reached his seventeenth year. The best part of the
joke is, that the fair bride had deposited, only a few
days before the wedding, about 5004 in the Lancaster
Branch Bank, Ulverstone, and while the parties were
enjoying the matrimonial sweets at the Bush Inn, Car-
lizie, they tor the. needful, but the ban% justly
