LOLA MONTES AGAIN.—We find the following in the
Asseinbl6e Nationale, copied from the Bulletin de Parig:
—" The tranquil quarter of the Villa Beaujon was on
Sunday thrown into agitation by one of the most striking
incidents :—Madame Lola Montes had taken for fifteen
years a magnificent hotel belonging to M. Rosa. She
caused it to be furnished with extraordinary splendour.
Turkey carpets of great value ornamented all the apart-
ments during the winter season. The most curious and
rare furniture was bought of a tradesman, who, seduced
by the reputation of the romantic adventurer, had
sufficient confidence to give credit for six months. On
Sunday, the day on which a large sum fell due, the furni-
ture man presented himself, but Madame Lola begged
him to call again at the end of the week, on account of
the absence of her husband, who had forgotten to leave
the money. During this time Madame Lola made pre-
parations for leaving, and caused vehicles to be sent for
to remove her goods. The upholsterer, informed of this,
hastened to the Villa Beaujon, and found himself in the
midst of the confusion caused by the removal of his fur-
niture. A great uproar took place, and the commissary
of police and some of the other creditors, who had been
apprised of what was going on, arrived. Among the
creditors was M. Jacquand, a celebrated painter, to whom
a large sum was due for portraits of the lady. Surprised
in the midst of these preparations for flight, the lady was
not disconcerted for a single instant ; she pretended that
she was disposed to pay, that her husband had sent her
the money for that purpose, but that she had lost the key
of her cash-box. She begged the creditors to wait for a
moment whilst she went for a locksmith, but neither lady
nor locksmith appeared. Madame Lola had entered a
vehicle which was waiting for her in the Avenue de
Chateaubriand, near the Barriere de l'Etoile, and had
disappeared like a shadow, without saying when she would
return."

The Dublin Nation says that " a stipendiary magistracy
has been sold by a five-pound repeal member for £1,0,0,
