• • PEYRONNET is seriously indisposed
in his prison at Ham. Political misfortunes and the im-
Patience of confinement appear to have completely sapped
a constitution that was once thought impervious to the
attacks of ill health. The " ruffian" PEYRONNET is the
only One of POLIGNAC'S devoted companions who has
foundit impossible to reconcile himself to his fate. It
Would seem as if his restive spirit meant soon finally to
let itself free. He has sent for an eminent physician, Dr.
AtioarKux, from Paris, who has gone down to advise upou
his case.

A BEE EXCURSION EXTRAORDINARY.—
A few weeks ago as several people were conveying in a
Cart fourteen hives of bees belonging to a gentleman at
Gallowshali, from that place to the moors, for the benefit
" puturage, the insects not relishing the motion of the
"ehicle soon became agitated, made their escape in con-
'iderable numbers, and annoyed the horse, so that he became
quite untractable. The cart upset—rnirabile dictu—what

This NE w' IHEATRE AT T. PETERSBURG.-
1441L'agnificent house his been recently opened by the
eof the Alexandra Theatre. Its structure is massive
ueYond all precedent ; the roof and a considerable portion
of the staircase are of solid iron, and the only timber made
Use of is confined to the stage itself and the floor on which
the machinery travels. The proscenium is of iron and
lead, and the ornamental parts of the various columns in-
, traduced are of cast or hmtmered bronze. It contains
five rows of boxes, which run in a line parallel with that of
the
Pit, and therefore fall gradually towards the stage. In-
stead of those long, cooped-up rows of benches which, as in
our own Theatres, seem invented for the express purpose of
trying the spectator's patience, the pit is fitted up with
capacious elbow chairs, covered with velvet, and standing
at such a distance from each other us to protect him from
the battery of every incomer and outgoer's toes
elbows. Neither
are more ,knees, and
than for such nu tickets allowed to be issued
nabeis as the house will conveniently ac-
commodate, and the gentler sex have the privilege of being
ushered to their seats by servants in the Imperial livery.
The house is admirably lighted, and, what is better still,
the ear is free from torture, be the distance of the stage
ever so remote. The ceiling, which is filled up with an
architectural design, interspersed with figures, painted oil, like the cupolas of the older Italian Churches, is ad in
beautiful specimen of taste and skill. This noble theatre
has been constructed after
the plan and under the
clirec-
tioa of De
Rossi, the hoperio,l architect.
