ANOTIIEE. LETTER FROM TME DUKE.—The Liver-
pool Journal says : —Mrs. Davies, well known in Liverpool
as the accomplished lady who at one period was directress of
the Blackburne-house-scLool, made an application some time
since to the Luke of Wellington, preferring her claim as
the daughter of an officer who hal served with his Grace
througlithe Peninsulur war, and requesting his " patronage"
for a volume she was about to bring out. The -answer
has been handed to us, in order to show, in contrast
with other late replies from the same quarter,
that the Duke can couch a refusal in courteous terms.
The letter, elated " Strathfieldsaye," is as follows:
" The Duke of Wellington presents his compliments
to Mrs. Davies. He by no means doubts that any
publication from her would deserve any patronage. More
than twenty=six years have elapsed since others suffered
from the Duke having incautiously what is called given his
patronage to a work of which the title and prospectus indi-
cated nothing but what was proper. The Duke had but a
choice of one of two things - either to examine every
work before he should what is called patronise it, or
decline to give what is called his patronage to any work
whatever from that time forwards. The Duke's various avo-
cations, professional and
.other, induced him to adopt the
latter course, as he really had not bear time for the efficient
execution of that first mentioned. In the course of the
period which has elapsed since that time thaa Duke has had
hundreds, nay thousands of applications from persons of all
classes and degrees; but he has not in any-one instance de-
parted from the course which he has laid down for the guide
of his own conduct. Those whom he had heretofore refused
would have reason to complain of the Duke, if, in confidence
in Mrs. Davies, he was to depart from the course which he
has adopted, and in adhering to which he has invariablyper-
severed.— Mrs. Davies, &c.'

THE BEAR AND THE ACTRESS.—.—A .M. Bonnet,
of Montpellier, having a bear of the Pyienees, to which he
had succeeded in imparting a remarkable degree of instruc•
t ion, entered some time ago into a contract with M. Fournier,
director of the Theatre de la Porte St. Martin, to exhibit
the animal on the stage for 40f. a day, for two months from
the 13th May last. A play called the Bear of the Pyrenees
was written, and the animal learned its part admirably.
But an actress, who was to be saved from death by the
beast, refused, as required by the authors of the piece, to
throw herself into its arms, as an expression of her gratitude.
This led to difficulties between her and the director, and, the
authorities having intervened, they gave positive orders that
the bear should not be allowed to appear in public unless muz-
zled. This rendered the performance impossible. Bonnet ac-
cordingly brought an action against Fournier for 1,875 f., the
amount due to him on their contract, and the authors of the
piece brought an action against the director for I,OOOE, for
the loss sustained by the non-performance of the piece. M.
Fournier, on his part, having given up the management of
the theatre to M. Colin, demanded that that gentleman
should be declared responsible in his place. The Tribunal
of Commerce, after hearing the arguments of all the parties,
relieved M. Fournier from all liability, and condemned Colin,
as his successor, to pay Bonnet I,ooof, and the authors 500 f.
