Rendssoous. As an actress, she was graceful and
lady like, not ranking higher than the second Glass;
though fast improving when she left US. Her taste
in costume was unrivaed and she enjoyed the repu-

dressed woman on the New York stage. She is at

peculiarly modest and amable in her appearance,
with complexion fair even to paleness soft blue
eye, and profusion of light auburn hair. She had
once been very beautiful and the brightest ornament
of our stage, but sorrow and afflieten had since
made deep nroads on her personal appearance and
her success in the line she had been most celebrated

ma Virginia, &c. became somewhat dubious, while
strange te say, her powers in light comedy remained
totally unimpaired. She could still play Lady Tea

The following ludicrous, though
somewhat alarming adventure hap
Pened to a gentleman in the course of
late visit to the celebrated Cathedral
of st. Panl, London. In his investiga-
ton of the several curiosities of the
place, he arrived at the turret which
contains the machinery of the clock.
Here The dial-plate is accessible, and
on its inside is a asmall square aperture.

shifting the hands of the clock. Our
friend being of a decidedly inquisitiyc
disposition, and particularly fond of
thrusting himself into every strange
and out-ofthe-way corner, immediate.
ly popped his head through the invlt-
ing opening. He was instantly abb
sorbed in the enjoyment of the view
his elevated situation afforded him.
his position in reference to the hands
of the clock never costing him n
thought, when, guillotlne-like, down
comes the ponderous bar which con-
stitutes the larger hand, right over
his devoted head. A gentle and grad
ual pressure on the spine soon gave
him Flint of the predicament in which
he stood. But the organ of philo-pro-
genitivcness being very strikingly de-
yeloped, it was too late.
To draw his headout was impossible.
and it became an unavoidable fixture,
while the powerful and steady motion
of the machinery was scarceI Y at all
impeded.-Decapitatlon in its most
lingering and shocking form must have
been inevitable, had not the bell rim
ger in the exercise of his duty at that
moment arrived. He instantly percciv-
ed how matters stood, and with the
qulckness Of thought stopped the ms-
chinery. The bar was showed u6 Bv =
means ofleyers, and the terrified and
astonished man released from his peril.
