'- that single fault
Went bIushing down a line OF Posts!
We never expected our contemporary TO hold up
his powdered head again but he took heart the
match was pardoned by the parties interested, and
the Post did not go into mourning. However,
few days since the Post was again plunged INTO
grief by a painful occurrence IN high life -
We hear, 1Dith deep regret, that lady OF high
rank both by birth and marrige, has within the
last few DAYS nysteriOuSly dbsened herself from the
residence Of her noble husband in consequence,

and we have been ourselves on speaking terms

never met with such Wonderful instance Of the
duality of mind as the critic of the Daily News
has Just afforded by including in a single crinque
a couple of performances, on the same night, at
the two Italian operas. Ii has been said that re-
viewer in the discharge of his duties, should look
neither to the right nor to the left but here is an
instance of a gentleman who must have taken
terrific squint from Covent Garden to Haymarket.
He must have carried Jenny Lind in one eye, and
wrapped up Albon in the other, or he must have
continued running backwards and forwards all
night between the two operas, like melo-dram-
