SAPIO'S BENEFIT.—This is likely to be a
bumper, for among the attractions of the even-
ing we find that Madame Pasta has kindly con-
sented to sing her inimitable "Di tanti
Mr. Sapio himself is a vocalist of no inconsider-
able ability ; but when to his talents are added
those of the first-rate singers of the day (as we
see by referring to the advertisement of to-mor-
row night), the result must be successful.
Monsieur Udc, the cook, is likely to rival
Mr. Rogers in his good sayings. His lamen-
tation on the loss of his late Royal Highness the
Duke of York is worthy of being preserved.
" Oh, mon Prince ! (he exclaimed) my kind
master ! He was the best-hearted of men ! Oh,
mon Prince ! He shall miss me very much
where he has gone to !"—Literary Gazette.
Dibdin, in his Reminiscences, relates many
extraordinary anecdotes of Mrs. Baker, manager
of the Rochester, Canterbury, Maidstone, and
Tunbridge-wells theatres, and mother-in-law of
the excellent comedian, Mr. Dowton. Amongst
the rest, one evening, when her manager, Mr.
Gardner, a gentleman well known on that circuit,
was playing Gradus, in the farce of Who's the
Dupe 9 and imposing on Old Doiley, by affect-
ing to speak Greek, his memory failed him, and
he cast an anxious eye towards Mrs. Baker, the
promptress, for assistance : the lady never having
met with so many syllables combined in one word,
or so many such words in one page, as the ficti-
tious Greek afforded, was rather puzzled, and
hesitated a moment, when Gardner 's distress in-
creasing by the delay, he rather angrily, in a loud
whisper, exclaimed, " Give me the word,
Madam." The lady replied, " It's a hard word,
Jem."—" Then give me the next." " That's
harder."—" The next." " Harder still." Gard-
ner became furious, and the manageress, no less
so, threw the book on the stage, and left it,
saying, " There, now you have 'em all, you may
take your choice."
THE THAMES TUNNEL.--Yesterday, at low
water, the Messrs. Brunel and Mr. Beamish de-
scended in the diving-bell, and found that the
raft, which was erroneously stated to have been
taken up, had tilted considerably from the aper-
ture over which it had been placed. Several
reasons are assigned for this circumstance, each
of which, though perhaps not of itself the cause,
may, when combined with others, have led to
the result. Among these are, a deficiency in the
weight of the clay deposited on the raft, the
action of the tide and current, and the swell and
agitation of the water created by the passing and
repassing of the steam-boats near that particular
spot. The raft"iVir. Brunel expected to be able
to raise at high tide last night, and when pro-
perly loaded, intends lowering it a second time.
To guard, however, against those circumstances
which have shifted it from its late position, he
purposes to charge it with a largo quantity of
pig iron, and other materials of a ponderous
nature. Should the second effort prove futile,
he means to adopt the coffer-dam or casemate,
which must, he says, attain his object.
An incident of an extraordinary nature took
place a short time ago in the Calton. The wife
of a shoemaker had been for a considerable time
lying ill of a fever, but was gradually recovering.
She, however, suddenly relapsed, and, as her
husband and friends supposed, she died on
the second day after her relapse, about two
o'clock in the afternoon. The usual formalities
of stretching and laying out were gone about ;
her husband procured money from his employer,
and ordered mourning for the family. Next
day, about twelve o'clock, as the wright was tak-
ing measure for her coffin, she gave a sneeze, and
otherwise made a stir with her body. On taking
off the grave clothes, she looked up in a wild
manner, anti made a motion with her hand as if
she wanted something to cat. A few cordials
were administered to her. She was then put to
bed, and enjoyed a good sound sleep. She
has since gradually recovered, and is now consi-
dered quite out of danger.---Glasgow Courier.
