A letter from Warsaw says—The other evening,
just as the French company at the Grand Theatre
were about to commeuc) their performance, the
curtain rose, and a general in full uniform appeared
on the stage and read a telegram in the Russian
language, announcing the birth of a new Grand
Duke, Nicholas Alexandrovitch, the heir to the
throne. The theatre being full of Russian officers
great enthusiasm was exhibited, the National
Anthem was called for and sung, the audience
standing up, and was redetnauded again and again.
At last some Polish ladies in a box opposite the
Count being fatigued, thought they might•sit down.
The husband of one of them, well known to suffer
from weakness in the legs, also did the same. The
Governor saw the movement, and getting into a
violent passion, sent the police to expel the party
from the theatre. The next day the Count sum-
moned the husbands of the ladies and soundly rated
them. The one already alluded to pleaded his in-
firmity, and added that he did not know, what was
being sung, as he was not acquainted with Russian.
The General exclaimed that he should start on the
instant for one of his (the gentleman's) estates in
Russia, and stop there until he had learned the
language. And he was obliged to go.
The frightful ravages committed by locusts last
year in Algeria have called the attention of natu-
ralists to the subject, and it is now proposed to im-
port into that country various kinds of birds re-
markable for their avidity for that tribe of insects.
There are about 15 species of martins, mostly
from Asia, that possess this quality. The Emperor
has strongly recommended the subject to the atten-
tion of the Ministers of War and Marine, and a
new cargo of 60 of these birds, soon to be followed
by others, left Reunion on the 18th for Algeria.
The difficulty of feeding them during the voyage
renders it impossible to send many at a time.

Count Ireneas de Zaluski, a Saxon sculptor, has
just died at Dresden of wounds received in a duel.
Among the principal works of the deceased are
busts of the Emperor and Empress of Austria, pre-
sented in 1867 to Napoleon 111. The Count en-
gaged in 1866 as a volunteer in a regiment of
cavalry, and was shortly afterwards made oaler for
his bravery at Sadowa.
The Baroness de Stampe, who was the devoted
friend and patroness of Thor waldsen, the great
Danish sculptor, and at whose chateau the artist
passed the latter years of his life, has just died at
Nysce, in Denmark, iu the Chateau of Stampeborg,
in which she bad had a studio fitted up for the
sculptor, and where he executed his last works.

It is said the Emperor declares that if there is
any delay on the part of the Italians in paying the
debt due by them to the Pontifical Government he
will himself pay the amount to the Pope, and hold
T+^'•- -agnonsible for its reimbursement to. France_
