directed Commission to inquire into the cause,
and point out the means OF suppressing the emgra-
ton OF the population from the old to the new dis

much good. Paris increases very slowly in extent,
and even that increase occasions no increase in
the population, the inhabitants of the new quarters
being dratted or rather drafting themselves from

sents an extraordinary contrast to own London,

a change had take place in the management o.
the theatre called the Gymnase. The fact is onl,
worthy OF mention from the circumstance Of the
late director having sustained war Of more thar
two years duration with the Dramatic Authors
Society, during which time not single piece writ
ten by member OF that association was allowed te
be presented on his boards. This led to the secss
sion from his troupe OF the celebrated Bouffe whs

tnat he enjoys. Scribe being one OF the the prn
cpal and one Of the most infiuent members of the
Dramatic Authors Society, Of course none Of his
pieces were performed during the time the theatre
was under its ban. Since the change in the drec-
ton, however, his popular name has re- appeared in
the dchss, and crowds throng to the theatre nightly
