CRYSTAL PALACE.—" The Life Haft" at the
Crystal Palace, under the management of Mr. Nimmo, the
modern Barnum, is a great success. The interest attached
to this light and apparently fragile, though really strong
and ingenious, structure is of no ordinary description. The
value of a life-raft so simple and easily put together, and
one which has been subjected triumphantly to so severe a
test of navigation across the Atlantic from the New to
the Old World, must attract the attention and excite the
surprise especially of all who are called upon to "go down
to the sea in ships," and also of those who would reward
the ingenious and humane endeavours of those who would
add to our means of saving shipwrecked persons from
the perils of the ocean. The adventurous captain and
crew (of two men) attend the exhibition of the raft.
The persecution of the Jews in Wallachia con-
tinues unabated, and every day brings the news of some
fresh act of violence committed by the authorities.

Ernst Schulz's " Masks and Faces," one of the
most entertaining and really talented exhibitions of the
day, is, we perceive, about to close. A look in at the
Egyptian Hall will be found to furnish a new pleasure, and
food for amusing reflection.

ARE DRAMATIC CRITICS PLAYWRIGIITS ?—Thero
is a very prevalent notion, fostered by many journals
which abuse the tone and style of contemporary dramatic
criticism, that nearly all the critics on tho metro.
politan press are playwrights, whose want of independ-
ence is mainly- due to the dealings they have with
managers. This is a mistake—and more, it is an injustice.
With two or three exceptions, our dramatic critics are
men who never write plays for the stage, or for the pigeon
holes of a manager's desk. Thoy enter into no competition
with the authors they aro called upon to criticise ; and if
their judgment is biassed in any way, it is by personal
more than by pecuniary influences. Mr. Dumphy, the
dramatic critic of the Morniny Post, is not a playwright,
and Mr. Desmond Ryan, who represents the Standard and
llerald, and is a musical as well as a dramatic critic, never
wrote a drama or an operetta. Mr. E. L. Blanchard, of
the Daily Telegraph, supplies pantomimes very regularly
to Drury Lane Theatre, but does no other dramatic
work. Mr. F. G. Tomlins, who represents the Morn-
ing Advertiser, wrote a tragedy called " Gracia ;
or, The Noble Error," many years ago, but has never
repeated the error ; and Mr. J. Llollingsworth, who writes
tho dramatic notices for the Daily News, is the author of
one farco produced in 1858, and has never written
another.—The Broadway.
An extraordinary scene of violence has just oc-
curred in the Court of Correctional Police at Riom
(Puy-de-Dome). A man named Clciment was re-
cently condemned by the Tribunal of jiannat to a
month's imprisonment for vagabondage, against
which judgment both the accused and the public
prosecutor appealed, the latter demanding a more
severe punishment, as the man had already under-
gone several previous condemnations. The Court
of Rioni now increased the sentence to four
' months' imprisonment and five years' surveillance
by the police. The prisoner had no sooner heard
the decision than he stooped down, took off his
heavy wooden shoe, and hurled it with all his force
at the judge, and at the same time addressed him
in the grossest language. Fortunately the missile
passed afew inches over the President's head, but
made a deep hole in the plaster, tearing the hang-
ings with which the wall was covered. A gen-
darme and two other prisoners who were standing
by them attempted to secure the prisoner, who, be-
ing a man of herculean force, struggled for some
time, and continued uttering loud vociferations
against the judge. At length the man's hands and
feet were bound, and he having been placed before
the bar to be tried for this outrage, received au
additional sentence of five years' imprisonment ;
the Court likewise ordered that he should be for-
bidden to reside in the some locality as the Presi-
dent for ton years after the expiration of his sentence.
A correspondent writes to us respecting the quota-
tion candid() lapillo (with a white pebble) made by
his Excellency M. Duxtry, when proposing the
health of the Linperor at the dinner given at tho
hotel of Public Instruction on the occasion of the
distribution of recompenses to the pupils of the
various colleges of Paris. What poet, we are asked,
has used the words ? The phrase is found in
Horace, but not precisely as M. Duruy quoted it,
the real words VII% a?Oo notancla lapillo.
