MARYLEBONE THEATRE.—We paid a visit to this
model of a theatre on Monday evening, to witness the tragic
abilities of .a Miss Waverley Scott, who has lately joined Mr.
J. Douglas's corps dr amatique, and were much amused ; Juliet
being the character, and our having been able from compa-
rison to judge fairly of its merits, we are enabled to state that
Miss Waverley Scott is a rising actress, rather too embonpoint
for the " fair Juliet," but nevertheless looked comme it fact.
At the commencement she appeared somewhat nervous, but

egret to learn that Mr.
Andrew Jopp, ship broker, of 72, Cornhill, died suddenly
yesterday morning, while at the Jerusalem Coffee-house. It
appears the unfortunate gentleman entered the coffee-room,
about half-past eleven o'clock, apparently quite well, and
shortly after retired to the water-closet, where he fell down
in a fit. Strange to say, a medical gentleman who witnessed
the fall, merely called to the waiter to say that some one who
was ill had dropped down in the closet. He left the house
directly, without offering assistance, and did not return even
to learn the result. Mr. Jopp expired almost immediately
in the arms of the waiter. It may be in the recollection of
some of our readers, that Mr. Scarr, the late partner of Mr.
Jopp, also fell down in a fit, and died suddenly, about two
years since.—Shipping Gazette.
ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.—The porticos of the
western entrance of this splendid cathedral are about to un-
dergo a thorough cleansing and scraping, with a view to
removing the incrustation that has settled on the stone work,
arising from smoke and dirt. Yesterday the scaffolding
under the lower portico was erected, and the workmen com-
menced their operations ; it has not, however, yet been de-
termined whether the whole of the western front, as also the
other outer portions of the building, will be scraped and
cleaned, the lower part being tried first before any determi-
nation is come to by way of experiment, it not being accu-
rately known whether the state of the stone-work will permit
its being done; if, however, the experiment is successful, the
whole of the western, which forms the principal entrance to
the cathedral, and the elegant design of which has been
universally admired, consisting of twelve lofty Corinthian
columns below, and eight of the Composite order above, sur-
mounted by a handsome pediment, on the tympanum o
which the Conversion of St. Paul is represented in
smoke,
