cannot be considered env offence against the constitution
of Englami. Ir was become impossible to consider such
conduct to be.any constitutional offence. Such a question
as the Pope's supremacy may, it seems, be •.• mooted" in
the present state of the law ; and it also appears that the

,upremacv of the crown of England t.tands equally firm
on the ground of the common law, as if it were bolwered

up by a hundred s.atutes. But Wither, it appears. from
Lord Br ugharn's and other speeches, that the Pope's
supremacy i c `a dr, am, a fiction, a fraud. an impo•tnre,
a nullity," and soforth; so that there is no occasion for
any act to (I. clire or o aintain either the supremacy of the
crown of E"glaDd or the nullity and nonsense of the
supremacy of the V•pe; though "moderately and tem-
p, rarely"—that'e the phrase—papists may "moot" the

Terre was a g'eat uproar one night last week at the
Opera, caused by the abrzenee, mi the plea of indisposition,
of Mario #and Cerito. When Perrot first entered he was

i with mock alutalions and tremendous hissing.
An occupant of the stalls called nut "No Perrot." with
stentorian !noes. at which the feelings of the inventor,of

the "pax de fascination" were so wounded that he lost
his presence of mind. and he addressed the audience in
French, reproaching them for tln-ir ingratitude after he

had done his " possible" on their behalf, then tore his
hair in a rage, and rushed off the stage. This incident
stopped the ballet, and the uproar for " Luml. y" was re-
newed. At this stage a diversion was afforded by a tre-
mend,us outcry frown the "omnibus box," a-king "where
b. Carlotta Grist ?" but no reply was made to this query.

-
At last, M. St. Leon, the husband of Ceritn, came for-
ward, and spoke in French. begitin'nz with the words
" Re.pectable public." which immediately commanded
attention. He assured the aud'ence that medical men had
stated that his wife was incapable of f>illfillit g her duties
on that evening. The uproar was not quelled till Lucile.
Gratin made a pantomimic appeal to the gallantry of the
rioters by clasping her hands at the stage lamps, and the
emeule continued with more or less force until the fill of
the curtain.

SIR R. PRIM AND HIS PORTRAIT PAINTERS.—We
hair, b-en ansu.s-d wish the different portra ts %%hid) ea•

cited Protectionist politicians have recently drawn of Sir
R. Peel. Here ate three samples :—Mr. D'l,raeli, in
his speech in the House of Comm Ons on Friday night.
termed him " the burglar of other's intellects." described
hi. life as a"cre t appropriati n clause," and declared that
" fo•hl the days of the Conqueror down to the termination
of the last reign, you Rill find no statesman who has corn-
mii ted pelly larceny on so great a scale."' The Duke of
Richmond, in a similar strain, on Monday evening, Sr.
rinsed the P.entit-r in the House of Lords of ;Wei&
wardice and dishonesty, lending a sting to the accusa-

tion by r grettiog " the great distinction which some me'
mace hetwetn public and private honour." But th
editor of the Morning ,Herald, on Wednesday, put th

having,—in its Fpr r tiv e phraseology, spoken of 'the ele-
phantine hide of the Premier's p I.tical conscience ;" the
former journalist &dares the figure a mistake, for, sis
he. the Prernitr " has not the hide of th' elephant. Ii E
HAS MORE OF THE NATI2RE OF THOSE BeINGS WHO

there remains flhtt R mon, of 1 e cant e accused.
