GENT :--Unimportsm rs have been
the political events, both 10 Eng land and
vpon the Continent, since my last, thS
domestic occurrences have been Of an
fexcitiug nature, as 10, indeed, Usually
the case when Kings and Queens take
The ball into their own hands, and play
bowls for the edifcstlon OF their subjects.
Foremost in the royal group stands tho
King Of Bavaria, whose doings, during
/ the last few weeks, have been a fortune
to half the scribbIers in every capital
save his own. This monarch, now verg-
ing on 10 years of age, was, during the
first half century OF his life, a notorious
and almost unequalled liberiine. From
RIGHTEOUSNESS to piety 10 but u step
: common and easy one, and our royal
lover took it, lie became exceeding
devout. His court was thenceiorth the
very model Of proprlety and decorum.
! Even his ministers were chosen because
they were also the ministers of religion.
He was surrounded by Jesuits, who
governed himself and all around him
with high hand, and at length he bads
fair, in his old age, TO cheat The devh Of
his due. aud to climb unbek nown To
Heaven. But apparently the old gen.
tleman liked not to lose his royal friend,
30 he sent to Munich a fair and lrail Ia
dy, named Lola Monies, whose appear
snce was the signal for total Tevolu-
tion in the affairs OF Bavaria.
Perhaps 1 may as we'll furnish your
readers with a light sketch Of the fair
ddnseuse, as II is, at present, one OF the
most eDgrossing topics OF the press
Much my stery has been thrown over the
former lie OF Lola Monies, and various
stories are current concerning her
Some say she is Of Spanish, some Of
Irish bhh-thst her father was an oi6-
Ger of rank, and her husband a gentle
man OF fortune aud consideration in In
dia. Other and more authentic inlorma-
tion is that she was one Of the most no.
torious aud ill-conducted women in Lon-
don-remarkabe for her personal beau
ty, her ferocily, and her moro than mas
culine strength. A party OF the would
be young gentlemen about the town se-
lected her as 4 fit person whereby to
gull the aristocracy-who,t they declared
would applaud any thing bearing fo-
reign name. BY various side-winds the
wonderful new dancer, Lola Monies,
had obtained celebrity before she made
public appearance. She effected an en-
gagrment at the Opera. The nigh, of
her debut arrived-ihe omnibus box
looked at her-at each oiher--and theo
again al the dancer They were pet
rified to recognize in the young Spaniard
their old familiar acquaintance, Eeisey
-. The remsinder of the audience,
accustomed TO all the hops and bounds
of the French school yet could not brock
the gymnastic exercises with which
l"Lola Monies" favored them. She Was
by public voice baBIsbed from London. -
Since this occurrence she has visited
most of the capitals Of Europe, drawing
occasional attention by displays Of
strength not unworthy Of Canheld, the
American Sampson. She has horse
whipped gems d'armes, knocked down off,
ce rs, and performed various similar feats.
Her last move was 10 Munich. She
there performed before the King, in psi-
vate and the next week took and iurn,sh-
ed palace applied to be naturnlized
