SOIREES MYSTERIEUSES OF M. LANGLOIS.
M. Langlois, whose performances in the art magic at
the Chateau du D:B3le in the Chumps Ely:6es, were
last summer attracting all Paris, commenced a serious
of soirees mystericuses at the new ball of this institution
last evening. M. Langlois is one of the most expert and
ingenious of eseamoteurs, his apparatus is magnificent,
and all the tricks are prepared with a neatness
and dexterity which are perfectly astonishing. ills
attendant was a lady dressed in the Bloomer
costume who, at the conclusion of the per-
formanc,, was spirited away ala Madame Robin. The
performance of M. Langlois was followed by the exhi-
bition of the automaton rope dancer; after which the
Indian Djalma exhibited some extraordinary feats of
juggling, and was mnch applauded. Ile is certainly
by far the cleverest juggler we have ever seen. The
performances concluded by the exhibition of a series of
beautiful dissolving views. The hull was crowded.

MRS. T. C. FOSTER'S LECTURE.
This talented and fascinating lady repeated her lec-
ture on the female costume of the last hundred years at
the Hanover-square Rooms, last evening. She was re-
ceived most favourably by an audience more numerous
than on the former occasion. Mrs. Foster is by no
means to be confounded with the vulgar herd of Bloomer
lecturers who are well fitted to flaunt in front of a peony
booth. In her address there was much of interesting
as well as amusing matter, and her sketches of the va-
rious absurdities of fashion were given with spirit and
good taste. Although wo cannot approve of even her
modification of the costume attempted to bo introduced
of late among our fair countrywomen, so far as the
pettiloons are concerned, it cannot be pronounced de-
cidedly offensive, and her observations have the merit of
being rational in the main, and wholly untainted with
the trashy viragoism of the common spouters on
Bloomerism, who we imagine are by th;s time fairly
" done up."

THE WHITTINGTON CLUB —Last evening a concert
took place at the above rooms for the benefit of Mr. and Mrs.
G. A. Cooper, and was fully and fashionably attended.
Amongst the artists engaged were Miss Clara Fraser, Miss
Lyles, Mrs. John Roe, Mr. Leffler, Herr Jounghmans, Mr.
Hamilton, and Miss E. Jacobs, who made such a successful
debit at the Su sex Hall. This talented young lady in the
course of the evening sang several Irish songs in so quaint
rnd humourous a manner, that in each instance her songs
were re-demanded. Her rich soprano voice was heard to
great advantage.
MYLTERIOUS DISCOVERY.—On Saturday informa-
tion was received from Tonbridge, Kent, that on Saturday
last, Mr. Gilbert, superintendent of the Kent constabulary,
dug up from a swamp in Park-road, parish of Pembury, a
quantity of black silk, apparently portions of a woman's
dress, apron, visite, and drawn bonnet, and also a child's
dress, and a black silk handkerchief. The sleeves of the dress
were of a fashion in vogue ten or twelve years ago. Por-
tions of a female's under garment, in.adecomposed state, were
also found.
