PARIS IN MARCH, 18.50.
(CONTINUED.)
The following anecdote appeared in two or three
French papers of March last, but even now gives a
"somewhat new and strange" idea of Lamartine
and the French stage :
" Al. de Lamartine, as all the world knows, gave
his drama of Toussaint-Louverture ,to the Theatre
Porte St. Martin, and Frederick Lemaitre [who acted
Robert Macaire so well iu London] takes the role of
Toussaint.
"Two months since, Frederick set off for Saint-
Point, where M. de Lamartine then resided, to inquire
how soon he would return to Paris.
" Not for some time, answered the poet; to say
the truth, it is my intention to remain at Saint-Point
as long as I possibly can.—D— ! cried Frede-
rick, but that will not do for me.—Why so ?
Because I shall be obliged to consult you from time
to time on certain parts of my role, and should be
sorry to travel a hundred leagues.—You are right,
said M. de Lamartine, /will be at Paris next week.
" The poet kept his promise.. Frederick visited
him at his hotel in the rue de l'Universit6, and after
talking about the tragedy, inquired carelessly when
be intended to make his -rentrie in the Assembly ?
"Not yet; said M. de Lamartine, I nave several

things to work of :—'—Pertnit me to say you are wrong,
said Frederick ; it is absolutely necessary that you
should be seen. The public must know that you are
really at Paris, that you attend the rehearsals, and
that Toussaint- Louverture is an important work, not
merely got up with the aid of a simple machinist.
" On the very day of this conversation M. de La-
rnartine re appeared in the Assembly.
" The poet thought he had done enough, but little
knew the Machiavel with whom he had to deal.
Frederick returned to the hotel in the rue de
l'Universite.

"Ah ca, M. de Lamartine, why do you never say
a word P—My dear Frederick, I thought I had
been talking with you this last half-hour.—That
is not what I mean : I ask, why do you
never speak at the Assembly ?—Because I
have nothing to say at present.—The fact is,
said Frederick, I never see you now in the
tribune, and must confess I should be glad to hear
you, in order to catch some of your gestures and your
intonation : you alone can give me the tone for my
great speech in the Third Act.—lf you please, I will
read it to you.—Bah ! that is quite another thing :
here in your cabinet with your leverets and me, you
have not the sacred fire ; you must mount the tripod
of the tribune. If you will not address the Assembly
in a few days, I cannot answer for the Third Act.—
Weil, said the poet, with the utmost naiveté, I will
endeavour to speak to-morrow, and I will send you a
ticket for the gallery.
" And M. de Lamartine actually did pronounce' a
discourse on the appointed day, but Frederick did
not take the trouble to go and hear it. His point was
gained. Convinced that the success of Toussaint-
Louverture depended as much on the name and fame
of the author, as on the work itself, he had brought
M. de Lamartine to Paris, had sent him to the As-

" At the present moment M. de Lamartine does
not suspect these innocent collateral puffs, and Fre-
derick even hopes to make him introduce in a second
speech some transparent allusion to the revolt of St.

Domingo. So cunningly has Frederick got hold of
the ficelle which pulls the decors of both Houses."
This anecdote brings to mind a sentence in H.
Walpole's Letters :—" A statesman, who is nothing
but an actor, should be that greatest of actors, a
philosopher ; and, with the leave of wise men, that is,
hypocrites, philosophy I hold to be little more than
presence of mind." Lamartine showed presence of
mind enough in February, 1548 ; but from the fore-
going, one would believe the other actor to have
shown more, on this last important occasion.

FIRE .AT THE JUVENILE PRISON, PARKHURST, ISLE
OF WIGHT.--Soou after Tuesday midnight a destruc-
tive fire broke out in one of the dormitories called the
C ward, and raged till four o'clock on Wednesday
morning, when the roof of the whole of this part of
the building (200 feet long) fell in. The building
was three stories high and 25 feet wide. There were
200 of the boys sleeping in it when the fire broke out,
ho were all safely removed to the parade-ground,
where they were guarded by the troops from Albany
barracks, who had been sent immediately on the fire
being discovered. The building (which is completely
destroyed) was directly at the back of the governor's
house. Great fears were entertained that that and
the range of the adjacent buildings would be de-
stroyed, but fortunately there was plenty of water,
and the engines from the poor-house, the barracks,
and Newport ware soon on the spot, and there was no
lack of assistance. We noticed the Isle of Wight
artist for the Illustrated London News on the spot
taking a sketch of the ruins.
Tne governor of the prison was absent on leave.
Ir is not known how the fire originated; fortunately
there was no wind.

although the amount might appear large. Indeed, he
considered the benefits to be gained from the printing to
be fourfold, not only to this fund, but to every public
institution. And he thought that had it not been for
the extensive circulation of the books afforded by such
printing that the fund would not now be what it was.
He said they had the satisfaction of seeing the fund
steadily increased, and new members now eager to join
it. That his own opinion was, that whatever the out-
lay was for printing' it was the most likely means to
double the income.
The CHAIRMAN then said he felt it his duty in audit-
ing the accounts to draw attention to the expenses re-
ferred to, but that he now agreed in what had been ad-
vanced by the secretary in justification of those expenses,
and he most heartily hoped that the success so anticipated
might be realized.
The meeting then separated, well pleased with the
report.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
GOODWOOD RACES.

CRICKET.
OLD v. YOUNG.
On Tuesday morning this interesting match was resumed at
Lord's, when there was a very large assemblage of specta-
tors. It will be seen that the "Young-uns" made another
long scare for their second innings, namely, 151 ; so that the
" Elderly Gentlemen," as the total of their two hands had
amounted to 295, were called upon to go in for 248 runs to
tie, and 219 to win. Merrily the ancients went to
work ; and when " time " was declared, they had lost
but five of their wickets, whilst they had run up a
store of 108 runs. Of this total Mr. Felix made 40; Guy,
16; and Pilch, 14. The batting of Mr. Vernon must not be
overlooked; he contributed 42 and 45, or 87 on the match, in
fine style. The third day's play was, all circumstances con-
sidered, well attended ; the old ones bore up gallantly, get-
ting, as • the subjoined score shows, 237 in their second in-
nings, Alfred Mynn, the "Lion of Kent," marking 69, and
N. Felix, Esq., 40, while Dakin added 56 to the score, which
is subjoined:—

The effect of a continuance of fine warm weather, as
acceptlble to the farmers, whose wheat crops are mostly
ripe for cutting, as it is to the pleasure seekers located
at the neighbouring watering-places, was perceptible to-
day in the increased numbers, present, the attendance
n vertheless being obviously below the Goodwood aver-
age. The racing left nothing to desire in respect to
quantity, but was remarkable only by two features of in-
wrest, viz., the Steward's Cup and the Goodwood Stakes,
for both of which the fields were numerically excellent.
The drat of these events was a second and an easy
triumph fur the German party, who do not hesitate to
affirm that the Goodwood Cup would also have travelled
abroad bad Montes kept sound. The Goodwood Stakes,
as 19 out of 20 anticipated, the favourite won in a canter
to the dismay, of the ring, and more especially those. who
had laid against double events. Of the other events it is
needl: as to speak.
In the Stand, which was well filled with fashionable
company, were assembled the following distinguished
parties:--

MRS TROLLOPE'S NEW NOVEL, " PETTICOAT
GOVERNMENT" is now the principal topic of conversation
in reading circles. This novel (says the Observer) will be
found fully equal to any production from the same pen that
has preceded it • vastly superior, indeed, to some of the
authoress's preceding productions. It is less coarse than the
" Widow Barnaby," less overdone than "Father Eustace,'
and, generally speaking, it is more refined than the greater
portion of her novels; but it is not withal any the less defi-
cient in power—in that close observation of character which
has rendered Mrs. Trollope so famous in that caustic delinea-
tion of character which has made her writings as offensive
to those whom they hold up to ridicule, as Itoliere's " Tar-
tuffe" was to the aesuits of his day, and, above all, in that
thorough insight into middle life, which she possesses in a
degree far beyond any other novelist, male or female, of the
present day.

BUILDERS' BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—Yesterday
' the third annual meeting of the friends and supporters of
this charity was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-
street; Mr. Wm. Cnbitt, M.P., in the chair. The report
of the directors for the year ending 24th June, 1850, stated
that during that period the contributions to the charity
had exceeded the expectations of its most sanguine sup-
porters, though, considering the various trades with
which builders were connected, the result might 4;w-a
been fairly anticipated.: The donations and subscript
tins during the past year amounted to nearly .1,C30/. ; .
the annual ball, which was celebrated in January, produced
a profit of 981., and at the anniversary dinner in June last
upwards of 40U1. had been contributed to the funds of the
society. The institution has at the present time 1,6001., in-
vested in the Three per Cents. Of this sum 500/. bad been
contributed for the special purpose of erecting almshouses,
which was one of the principal objects of the founders of the •
society. The first election of p‘nsioners was held in October
last, when tour persona were chosen from a large number of
candidates, and the directors had resolved out another elec-
tion in October next, when five pensioners would be admit-
ted, to the benefits. of the society. In moving the adoption
of the report, the chaitinan said that the Builders' Benevo-
' lent Inkittiiion was a Charity 'which deserved a large mea-
sure Of public support, and, considering the influential posi-
tion occupied by the trade, he aid not doubt it would
become one of the first and Most useful charitable institu-
tions in the metropolis. Mr. George Bird, the treasurer,
stated that since the report bad been drawn up an additional
sum of 2001. stock bad been purchased. A vote of thanks
was then passed to the patrons and officers of the society, and ,
the outgoing directors having been reelected, the proceed
inga tetuainated.
