The ToMB OF LADY BLBsssNcroN.-The tomb
is erected on the green eminence on tho confines
of the quiet village of Chambourcy, and oyerooks
the green plain that stretches betwesn st. German
and Paris The sepuichre is the creation Of Alfred
DOrsay; and there are two inscriptions upoa her
tomb, by Barry Cornwall and Walter Savage
Landor. An appropriate establishment has Just
been added oflshoot Of the parent stem of ivy
which grows ever the house, in Tipperary, in
which the deceased lady was born, has been trans
planted to the ioot OF the railing which surround:
=
thus the same ivy that sheltered her cradle will
overshadow her tomb.
MoRx GoLD.-Dscoveries Of gold mines are
daily talked of. We have now report that in the
Piedmontese Alps has been found the source of
the wealth of the great family Of Borromeo, one Of
its members having been buried at Milan with
treasures far SURPRISING anything told US in the
"Araban Nights Entertainments" Compared
with this new aurfsrous wonder, il is said Califor
mia is but barren rock. Some Of the speculators
who hold shares in this marvellous mine expect to
have the rest of their lives gilded over with eternal
sunshine, and calculate upon supernatural felicity
These waking dreams are, no doubt, very fascina-
ting, but, alas they will be found unreal visions,
which corrupt and weaken the understanding.

We learn from London that MN. Scribe and Ha-
levy have been daily engaged in the superinten-
dence OF their new grand opera, la Itnpesfa," at
her Majesty's Theatre. The London jonInals an
ticiPate brilliant success and il is to be supported
by tho entire strength Of Mr.. Lumley's vast estab
lishnent. Many alterations have necessarily
taken place in the plot a. drawn BY Shakespeare.
BY an account put forth to crafty the habituts We
learn something of the dramatist's design. Find
ing that Shakspeare's play 10 essentially musical,
he wishes to develope this feature BY giving it q
regular musical form, and introduces incidents not
in the play, but suggested by it. He supposes the
witch Sycorax to be alive, and makes ths audience
hear her voice from the heart of the rock in which
she is imprisoned Ariel will appear under the
form Of Carlotta Gris, and Mile, Hayes will be
h. s.trt faff h. Iran xw,tl ha al
by SOnlag, Prospero by Coletti, and Caliban by
Lablache and the unholy alliance Of the monster
with Trinculo and his companions, furnishes comic
scenes in the spirit of the original. Curiosity il on
the qSi cipe for the result.
At the conclusion of the new burlesque of " Es-
meralda," produced at the Adelphi, London,
scene was introduced totally irrelevant TO the plot,
but which caused much amusement. -" Esmeral-
da !" was made TO superintend wheel of for
tune," from which few prizes were drawn and
actually allotted TO the audience, the course Of
luck being determined by tickets given at the en-
trance to the theatre. Finally living female sta
tue was awarded TO gentleman in the stalls repre-
rented by Mr.. Worrell, and his right to take the
article home was disputed by his better half, who,
Personated by Mr.. Wright, in cloak and bonnet,
demonstrated with him from private box.
Mr.. G.. v. Brooke took his leave of London
audience Sir Edward Mortimer, and was an
nounced TO sail Immediately for this country.
The London papers silent with respect to
hrs. Mowau and Mr.. Davenport.
The concert season has been very dull in London.
Concerts were out Of fashion, except chamber con-
certs at private houses. They are an annual tax
on the good nature Of the nobility, with, perhaps,
q few rare exceptions.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Kean arc announced as
engaged at Cork and Limerick.
Cerito and St. Leon are still at Paris
Among the wax productions Of the famous DR..
Anzoux, in the New National Exhibition in Paris,
is the model Of a skworm two feet in length, in
which the minute structure Of the insect and its
silk making machinery are wonderfully brought TO
Light.
AT Edinburgh, Mr.. Whitney, from America,
gave the first Of his entertainments on the elo-
quercs and poetry Of the new world, in Queen
street Hall. Mr.. Whitney's oratorical powers are
Of no common order. His voice." says Scotch
paper, :" 10 nch, mellow, and powerful, giving
great effect TO the specimens OF American elo-
quence, with which his critical and descriptive re-
marks were illustrated. His graphic mpersona-
tions Of his various subjects, in tone,
and look, at once forcible and amusing, evinc-
ing eIceIlent taste, and fine perception OF charac
ter. In the keen sarcasm, and shrieking tone OF
the celebrated John Randolph, the manly, open
bearing OF Webster, and the deep, impassioned,
thrilling voice and manner of Henry Clay, Mr..
Whitney seemed to transport us at once 10 the
arena Of debate. Not less effective were the
sketches Of Indian character, and the illustrations
Of that Wild majesty which belongs to the Indian
orator.
