SIR WALTER SCOTT'S MONUMENT.
It is said that the erection of the monument at Glas-
gow, to the memory of Sir Walter Scott, is imme-
diately to be commenced ; that the site chosen by the
Committee is the centre of George-square, and that
the monument itself will be a fluted column, 144 feet
high, surmounted either by a vase or a figure of Sir
Walter.—Edinburgh Paper. •
THE CONSPIRACY.—The new Venetian
romance, under this name, will soon be laid before the
public. The dark mysteries of Venice, though often
treated of in fiction, are not yet half explored, and
from time to time tales of peril and of suffering
connected with them may be expected to rise before
the public eye. The abominable tyranny of its
Doges—its Council of Ten, anti. its Inquisitors,
with their masked spies, their receptacles for anony-
mous accusations, their dungeons under the sea,
and between palace roofs, have done more to de-
stroy the power of the Republic than the arms
of Austria. " The Conspiracy" is said to abound
in scenes of fearful interest, and will add another strik-
ing narrative to those already existing in the dramas of
Otway and Byron, and in the romances of Schiller,
Mrs. Radcliffe, Monk Lewis, and Cooper.
ATTACK UPON AN IRISH JUDGE.—One
day last week one of the judges returning from circuit,
stopped for a few minutes to change horses at a village
in the Queen's County. During the short delay which
occurred, he rambled about the premises, and by mis-
take went into the yard of a careful shopkeeper, where
lie soon found that he had not the law in his own
hands ; for a mastiff laid a detairier upon him, and held
him fast. His lordship, being so/us cum solo, with his
cynical antagonist, was fain to become his own crier,
and bawl lustily for help, which speedily came and
rescued him from so unprofessional a grasp. Happily
he wore a pair of those most conservative of all leg-al
integuments, Wellington boots, and I rejoice to add,
that upon inspection, it was found the calf-skin had ef-
fectually preserved the calf. Though quitte pour la
peur, he was not the less wroth, but directed a writ of
Sus per Coll to the lieutenant of the county against
his assailant. It was a rather hard measure for him to
award against a surly dog. A point, however, has
been ruled in behalf of the culprit, inasmuch as the
judge was a trespasser, and had strayed into the wrong
court, so that even if more serious consequences had
resulted, the offence would not have exceeded that of
manslaughter. Judgment has accordingly been re-
s?ited ; and the delinquent, though tied up, remains
unhanged. The Tail has been in a state of triumphant
agitation ever since.

OLYMPIC THEATRE-FRENCH PLAYS.

stage has been for some
i time past disgraced. It con-
taitis no rape, no act of incest, nothing in a word, ex-
:epting fornication, murder, and adultery. The first
v sudeville went off heavily, neither Laporte nor Ma-
lemuiselle Irma had parts in it. The second, La
Panzille de 1 'Apothicaire, was a right merry littlepiece,
md was acted throughout extr9mely well. Laporte
vas infinitely amusing as an apothecary's boy. The
house was very fashionably attended.
