I which they met her, and s:id "There it nothing in
thorn;" but on searching one of them they' found a large
quart!ty of chemical materials, opium, &h.., and on
searcking ail! other found, besides a quantitP of articles
is common we. as cups and saucers, abottethirty par-
, eels of a peculiar character, such as several bottles of
anchovy sauce and a quantity of caustic. She appeared•
very much distressed when the officers went in with
Hone in their custody, and when she asked him what
was the' matter he made no answer. In a room
up stairs they fotind several toiletbettles, -and
boxes containing opium, perfuniery, &c.; and so
neatly packed that it was difficult for one to
pack it; and when they took out the contents they
could not replace them. They found also a quantity of
essential oils in 'the-room. The toilet-bottles were all on
the dressing-table. They also found in a work-box some
brass weights, which are commonly used
.by druggists.
On their finding these, she said, "Somebody must have
put them there; I never saw them before." Theie was
no proof that these weights ever belonged to Mr. Wearer.
The landlady of the house in which they lodged said,
she never saw either of them bringing in any boxes or
medicine. • This fact vas relied on for the prt•secution cs
a prof that tho articles were brought in sep.srately in
swell parcels and then packed up. After they hal been
lodging there for a short time, Mrs. Warner went away,
taking three boxes with her; and in a short time returned
wite two boxes, in which some of the stolen property
was afterwardA found.

His Lot-Insure, in summing up. told the jury that if
they had any reasonable doubt of the prisoner's know-
ledge of her paramour's guilt in robbing his employer,
they ought to acquit her.
The jury deliuerated for five minutes, and then found
them Guilty.
Mr. GREAVES thereupon said he would not proc-ed
with the other indictments, to which the prisoners had
pleaded not guilty.
When called on to say why sentence should not be
passei, Hone, who seemed much affected, protested that
'he other prisoner was entirely ignorant of his having
stolen the goods.
his LonDsurr, in passing sentence on Hone, said he
had seldom known a worse offence, for not only was the
value of the property large, but he received from his
employer a handsome salary, on which he could live in
comfort and respectability ; but, instead of that, he pre-
femd plundering his employer. Ile (Mr. Justice Wil-
liams) felt that he would be deserting Ms duty if he did
not pass a severe sentence upon him, and he would
therefore direct him to be transported f,r ten years. As
for you, Harriet Warner (said his Lordship), I feel for
you, and I think you are to be pittied, for though you
were not in the situation of a wife to this man, you were
so much under his control that it was with the greatest
difficulty you could have resisted or disobeyed his dime-
tions. I therefore sentence you to be imprisoned for
three months in the common gaol but without hard
labour.

PARIS IN MARCH, 1850.

The representation of Polyeucte at the Theatre
Francais might have convinced any one that the
Franc iis deserves its new name of Chose Publique.
After the Cid, perhaps as a totality the most perfect
dramatic structure in any language, Polyeuete shows
the great: and true genius of Corneille. Nothing
was wholly unknown to him. Napoleon. said that if
Corneille had lived in his reign he would have made
him a Prince. Napoleon may also have bad some
notion of his own character approaching the Cid, for
Josephine used to call her husband mon merit,
mon Cid." The great artists were known by their
Chris;ian names as Raphael and Guido : other, less
celebrated, by some familiar appellation as Guercino
and Luca fa presto : the Cid by the number of his
names: Le Cid—Ruy Diaz —ll,,drigo—My Cid
Campeador. Cervantes calls him Don Rodrigo de
Vivare. The mystic passages of the Folyeucte are
r dogmatism.

Rachel is an admirable sett% ss and co other in much
distinguished, exvept D6jazq : yet there are hundreds
of excellent comedians. : the authors and journals are
continually praising them, from real admiration and
from the great value actors set on praise. The tone
of declamation is surely better in England, and snob
was the ancient proverbial notion : Ex aeumine
Gracum, ex nitore Ronzanurn, ex pompii Anglum.
It is impossible that either Le Kahl or Telma came
up to Garrick. The troops of players on the conti-
nent in the buon secolo or cinque cento, that is about
1,500, were ail English, and Eoglish plays are still
acted in the Irish college at Rome every Christmas.
The art would seem to be one in which it is
impossible to dogmatize. Old Johnson said he
never found au actor who could give a reason
for what he did except Garrick and Hen •
derson. Perhaps they did not give him good
reasons, knowing that if he did not perceive they.
could not explain. Actors, it would appear, . are
seldom taught—they serve no apprenticeship, which is
scarcely true of any other handicraft excepting the
persons who on the almost invisible point of a steel
punch cut the still more invisible letter which forms
the matrix, which again forms letter-press typo. In
fact originality and individuality would appear
to be the essence of an actor. The author gives his
premier rile, second rile, premier role marque, second
role marque, jeune premier, jeune premiere, pire
noble, Ingenuite, valet, Frontin, Jasmin —in short the
simplicity of art—the individual character of the
actor gives the multiplicity—uniformity with variety—
/Iphi nell' 11110. Therefore the first quality of an actor
is, to be totally unlike all other actors, imitating no-
body, learning nothing except to tread the inclined
plane of the stage, to make his exits and his entrances.
What creatures so different as Buckstone, Keeley, •
Harley, Wright, Bedford, and Smith? Shake-
pere was at once dramatist, actor, and ma-
nager the same of Moliere, perhaps a
better actor than Shakspere. An actor should
not to ,be too tall, which destroys the illusion of the
decor. Besides, the slow motions of a small figure
are very graceful, as seen in women and in the dancer
Perrot, who was shorter than most women ; whereas
the quick motions of a tall person are ridiculous, so
you lose the multiplicity of art. Besides, most great
men, the proper subjects of tragedy, have been " little
men." Kemble was asked about a Mr. Conway—
" What do I think of Mr. Conway ?—I think he's a
very tall young man." An actor should have large
eyes, or the best part of his physiognomy will not
be seen.
The origin of the stage, like all other arts, is from
Tuscany ; from the Etruscan mimes. Lazzi are tra-
ditional stage jests and " business," derived from
Lazio, Latium—a curious instance of the tendinous ad
Latium—and the modern extempore commedia dell'
artc, from the ancient fabulee Atellane. The " Church"
opposed the stage, partly because it superseded them.
The Autos da fe of Calderon still remain :
Atque utinam his nugis tote ills dedisset

The Moralities, or Mysteries, are continued in many
parts of Europe and South America. For the same
reason the clerks opposed the invention of printing—
it threw copyists out of work. Jarvey cannot
abide Cibby ; Cabby cannot away with Buss. When
they brought silk from China, pretiosa stamina Serum,
why not printing and gunpowder ? No, it would
have been the ruin of the profession. See Warner's
Projectiles. Accordingly when the first printed:
book cause out, a thousand copies exactly resembling
the manuscripts of that age, they were given without
scruple to the protector of all voracious and Phari-
saical sects. " Either we must put down printing,
or printing will put us down," said a preacher at
Paul's Cross. SJ Dr. Fibt, or Fist, or Faustus, ac-
quired his sombre fame as first printer; hence also
the word fusty.—Down with the great discovery of
' 1440!—The notion of Luther prevailing in many
places is pi•ecisely similar. Can the Church maintain
such positions ? Fleury, the actor, in his memoirs
says :—" Till the revolution, the nuptial benediction
was denied to actors."
Louis Napoleon, finding the French governed by
journals and theatres, sets up a paper called the Na-
poleon, in which he is believed to write • and this
paper urgently recommends the drama of:Bonaparte
at the Cirque. It is addressed to the bourgeoisie,
and contains the early part of Napoleon's life.
There are other dramas or tableaux in which the ridi-
cule of Socialism is irresistible, and applauded without
a dissentient voice, as the Coup d etat; which, however,
seemed more Legitimist than was required. There is
a comic opera, the Porcherims ; in which an ouvrier
makes an admirable squire of dames, but turns
out after all to be a Marquis ! The secret wound
of France is, the fauxbourgs St. Antoine and
Marceau ; when the bourgeois are profoundly sick-
ened, as with Charles X. and Louis Philippe, they
forget the precautions necessary against those wretches.
Besides the thousands slaughtered in June, 1848,
the Socialists made a great demonstration without
effect in June, 1849, but now they are vanished. It
has been always so with the Gauls. Vilissimi ser-
viunt, sunerbissimi imperant. Prima illorum prelia
plus qualm virorum, pOstrema minus quam faminarum.
