There was a great uproar one night last week at the
Opera, cau-ed by the absence, 011 the pleni of indi,twsition,
of nirio and Cerito. When Perrot fir,t entered he was
assailed with mock sahata.inns arid tremendous his,ing.
An occupant of the stalls called nut "No Perrct." with
stentorian lungs, at wh;ch the fechigs of the inventor of
the " pas 2e fascination" were so wounded that he lost
his presence of mind. and he addressed the audience in
French, reproaching them for their ingratitude alter he
had done his " possible" on their behalf, then tore his
hair in ,a rage, and rushed off the stage. This it.cident
stopped the ballet, and the uproar for-" Lund. y" was re-
newed. At this stage a diversion was afforded by a tre-
mend,.us outcry from the " orrinibu• box,"a•king " where
iw Carlotta Grisi ?" but no reply was made to this query.

At last, M. St. Leon, the husband of Cerito, came for-
ward, and spoke in French, beginn;n; with the ;curds
" ReQpeetable public," which immediately commanded
attention. He assured the audience that medical met, had
stated that his wife was incapable of fullfillirg her duties
on that evening. The uproar was not quelled till Lucile.
Grahn made a pantomimic appeal to the gallantry of the
rioters by clasping her hands at the stage lamps, and the
imetde contiLaued with more or less force until the fall of

the curtain

AN ELOPLMENT.—The elmtlestine fl gilt of Miss Fanny

years of age, and Mr. Borten is some few years her
senior. It is supposed that the young lady escaped from
her father's house very s, on eter midnight, accemprinied
