THE NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF
" A MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE."--'6 The author of • Tre-
velyan' is deeply read in human nature. In this work, as
in the former, the writer describes individuals who will be
recogni,ed at once, faces and fortunes as common as the
air, and she inspires them with that kind of interest which
we feel in the events of real life. Trevelyan' is a fine
portrait. and his sister is drawn with equal ability.
Lord Herbert is a mere man without a heart, such as
you meet with constantly in the fashionable world, and
Theresa herself—and here the genius of the author comes
out most strikingly—is a mere woman of rash resolves,
ready faith, some pride of intellect, but of feminine weak-
ness, anti weakness at bottom. The work is one of con-
siderable talent, and must become popular."—Atlas.

The fine statue of Alirabeau, placed last year
in the Conference Saloon of the Chamber of Deputies, has
just been removed to the Salon de la Pais, that is, to the
ante-chamber. Ths statue of Henry IV. is now where
that of Mirabeau was, Three large bas-reliefs are placed
above the seat of the President. The first, behind the
President, represents France distributing wreaths to the
Arts, by M. Romans. The second, on the left, by M.
Petitot, represents the King distributing colours to the
National Guards. The third, by M. Rainey, represents
Louis Philip swearing to maintain the Charter, in the
hands of M. Latfitte, then President of the Chamber.
Other bas-reliefs are in execution for the vestibule, but they
are not in a very advanced state. Preparations are going
on for the opening of the session on the 23d instant.—

THE HAMBURG THEATRE.—On Wed-
nesday Captain Living had the house as full as his friends
could wish. Miss Tree's matchless personification of Lady
Teazle deserved the enthusiastic applause which greeted
her from every part of the house. Her graceful vivacity
in the earlier scenes of the play, and the expression of deep
humiliation when discovered behind the screen, have in
our recollection never been equalled—surPassed they can-
not be. Her manner of addressing her husband after
Joseph Surface has vainly attempted to explain the am-
biguous situation in which she has just been found was
exquisitely beautiful—her heart seemed burstingw'..ia
