We perceive by the Turin papers that Mdlle.
Victoria Balfe, after singing the " Sonnambula" 15 nights
consecutively to houses crammed to the ceiling every night
—the true test of popularity—has appeared in " Don Gio-
vanni," in the pretty role of Zerlina. They describe her
beauty and acting, including a certain rustic archness in
the part, as bewitchingly taking. In other respects the
getting-up of the opera is not so satisfactory, Mozart being
neither appreciated nor well understood by the Italians.
In the meantime, the young English prima donna carries
all before her.

HAVELOCK'S GRAVE.—A letter in the Times
says :—Tn the last letter of your " Special Correspondent"
in India, he refers to a visit paid to the Alumbagh, and
describes the resting place of the remains of the noble
Havelock. The soldier's hand which traced the rudely
carved "H" on the trunk of the tree over his grave now
guides the pen to repeat the exclamation of your correspon-
dent :—" And this is the grave and the inseription of Sir H.
Havelock I"—and to ask, are these to remain the only indi-
cations of a spot which must be held sacred by every true
soldier ? Is the saviour of India already forgotten?
Surely not I

KENSINGTON GORE ESTATE.—In the early part
of last year the Commissioners decided upon pulling down
Gore and Grove Houses and the old wall in front of them,
and an opportunity was thus afforded to the public of seeing
the grounds in the rear, the extent of which formed the
subject of remark by every passer-by. During the winter
months operations have been going on towards filling in
the upper part of the property, to form a sort of raised ter-
race. It is curious to note the extraordinary distances from
which the dry rubbish has been brought at Kensington
Gore. It has been carted from Bermondsey, King's-cross,
Holborn, Gray's-inn-lane, Camden-town, St. John's-wood,
Oxford-street, Marylebone, Fleet-street, Vauxhall-bridge-
road, Chelsea, and Hammersmith. Nearly 100,000 loads
have been already so deposited.—The Builder.

LORD JOSN RUSSELL AND MR. BRIGHT.—Lord
John Russell and those who acknowledge him as their
leader have for years; held out to the people the prospect
of a Reform Bill, and, indeed, have themselves created what
little demand has been made for such a measure. Following
their leader, but far outstripping them, the Birmingham
agitator has devoted the last six months to the sole purpose
of rousing the lower orders from what he considered a state
of apathy His exertions have met with that degree of
success which leads all reflecting men to calculate the dangers
that may result from any longer withholding a safe measure
of reform, and leaving for another year the lower classes of
the people to be worked upon by the harangues of reckless
demagogues—by men who see nothing but to admire in
the Constitution of the United States, and especially in the
American Congress ' • and to assimilate our House of Com-
mons to that august assembly (? armed with revolvers and
bowie knives), is the avowed wish and intention of John
Bright. That Mr. Bright should oppose with all the
energy which he possesses a measure such as the one pro-
pounded by Lord Derby's Government, which would de-
stroy his occupation as an agitator, and annihilate all hope
of Americauisinm our legislature, is j wit what everyone to i e•ht
expect. But that he should fihd his dangerous gaup;
plAyed for him by a nobknum, who•;einonth the phrase
of tin; welfare of the country" is one of constant occur-
rence, would be a matter for amazement, if we did not keep
"onstantly in view the antecedents of Lord John.—. En-
g Churchman.
