MONUMENT TO THE BRIGADE OF GUARDS.—The officers
of the brigade of Guards propose to raise a monument
to the officers and men of the brigade who have fallen in
the late struggle. According to the terms of the meeting
at which the project was discussed, the monument is
likely to be on a grand scale. The officers have already
appointed a committee to see it carried out, with Sir
Alexander Woodford at its head.
Mr. HOLFORD'S HOUSE in Park lane is completed
exteriorly. Its palatial grandeur and perfect harmony
of parts reflect great credit to its owner and to its archi-
tect, Mr. Vulliamy, while it worthily adorns the site it
occupies. Its interior decorations are, we are happy to
hear, to be entrusted to an Englishman—tha talented
Mr. Stevens "of Kensington,"
MONUMENT TO SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.—The Mayor
and Corporation of Lincoln are taking measures to erect
a monument to Sir John Franklin, the hero and chief
victim in the dreary Arctic episode of our day.
MONUMENT TO LORD ORMONDE.—Mr. Richardson
has just completed an elaborate and beautiful tomb and
recumbent statue to be erected to the memory of the late
Lord Ormonde. It will be placed in the family vault in
the Cathedral Church, Kilkenny.
A STATUE OF LAGRANGE, the celebrated mathemati-
cian, is about to be erected at Turin, where he was born
in 1766.

Lord Ellesmere has recently placed a slab of marble
inlaid with brass to mark the spot in the north aisle of
Henry the Seventh's Chapel where Addison has been
sleeping for a hundred years.

STRAND THEATRE.

The announcement of a new burlesque at this theatre
ever deserves a full attendance of the admirers of that
class of dramatic literature. The SUCCV9 of Mr. Dillon
in "Belphegor,"at the Lyceum, has induced the managa
ment of the Strand to seize on the subject for this last
novelty. To say that " Belphegor" provei as success-
ful as any of its predecessors hardly conveys an idea of
the shouts of laughter and applarse that are elicited by
the many quips and cranks, puns and personalities with
which it abounds. Mr. Leicester Buckingham, who
now appears for the first time as a burlesque writer, has
succeeded to admiration, and the unequivocal success of
this his first effort will doubtless encourage him to fol-
low up " Belphegor" with many others. The plot of
" Belphegor" is necessarily deviated from to some extent,
but the main features are preserved. Miss Cuthbert,
who represents the Mountebank, gives a somewhat
pathetic rendering of the trials and sufferings of Pail-
lasse, following the example set by Robson, of rendering
the tragic phases of the character conspicuous.
Mr. Henry Turner, as Madeline ; Mr. Clarke, the vil-
lain of the piece ; Miss Thirlwall, as an opera singer ;
and Mrs. Woollridge, as an ex-prima-donna, secured an
entire success, which was greatly enhanced by the music
by Mr. Chambers, and some capital scenery by Mr.
Herbert.

Clipper Company, and are intended to run on a new
line between London and Australia. Both these vessels
are reported to be remarkably fast sailers, and both are
very fine specimens of naval architecture. The Royal
Belgian mail steam-s'iip Constitution, the arrival of
which was noticed in The San some weeks ago, is still
here. She has been thoroughly overhauled and sur-
veyed, and is expected to leave for Antwerp in the
ceurse of a few days. Prior to her departure for New
York she will take 1,000 tons of coals on board at this
port. The Constitution will shortly ho followed by the
Leopold, and ultimately, as occasion may require, by
the whole of the ships forming this new and important
line.
PREDICTED FALL OF NAPOLEON lII.—In the auto-
biography of a Wesleyan minister, just issued iu Ca,
nada, we notice the following calculation, which is very
corious. It was communicated by a Frenchman to en
English friend. Fall of Robespiei re in the year 1794.
Repeat 1794 in single figures, and add the whole, and
you have the fall of Napoleon 1., 1815. Repeat as be-
fore, and you have the fall of Charles X., 1830. Repeat
and you have the fall of the Duke of Orleans, 1842.
Repeat, and you have in this year, Louis Napoleon will
fall, 1857. Thus :
