aatisn of our theatre, has the Sale de MonSigny
seen such rush and crowd as on the three nights
of the debut of Lola Monies"
From BOulogne, Lola left for Brussels, where she
danced with the same success; but where, as the
paper states, an unfortunate director of the Hippo

by Offering her 5000 francs to taAs turn or Two on

From Brussels, Lola left for Antwerp, and ar
rived on the very day of the elections. Whether
the presence of Lola we'll known as the head Of the
liberal party in Bavaria, had any effect on the re-
cult, we do not pretend to say but one thing is
tain the liberal party, for the first time within the
memory of the Antwerpians, obtained majority,
and that Of eight hundred. In the evening, Lola
danced and me theatre was jammed to the ceiling
The first appearance Of Lola was greeted by rounds
Of applause from the liberals and Kisses from the
royalsts. Discussions followed, and the liberals,
finally losing patience, set busiy to work and turned
every royalist out of the theatre. Lola was then
called for, and, on her appearance, received three
times three of "Vive Lola Monies" She then
danced, was encored, recalled, and reapplauded to
their hearts content; after which, she was allowed
to retire-her carriage followed and surrounded oy
the cheering populace to the very doors OF her
hotel.

of Holland, frightened for his own pers ona safety,
or that Of his kiagdom, sent courier win des-

Lola laughed, andreplied that she was very much

waited quietly her coming out, and escorted her IN

From Aix-la- Chapelle, Lola penetrates the enc

her return TO Paris.
The learned critic, Amedee Aehard speaking of
the dancing of Lola Monies, discourses as follows
"One may have seen the dancing of Taglioni, Car
lotts Grisi, Fanny Elssler, and Cerito, and not
know the dancing of Lola Monies. 1t is something
bizarre and unforeseen, that has no analogy in any
other cherography, in any other ballet. With the
Countess of Landseldt the dancing not art; il
is phantasy, it is passion; it is the dream Of her
spring, and the caprice of her summer. She dances
as the birds sing, without knowing why"

PARIS. October 9, 1851.
The event of the week, among the artistic and
dramatic world in Paris, is the refusal Of the Prus
sian government to permit Lola Monies to dance in
Germany. Lola had penetrated as far as Aix-la-
Chapee, dancing every night to overlooking houses,
at double prices when the police chose to take ex-
cepton to the Tremendous outbreak OF public opin-
ion in her favor. The bills had already announced
her appearance at Cologne, Coblentz, Dusseldorf,
Mayence, Frankfort, &C., when despatch came to
L. -. frtc &c fka Ipfa- npciuf
that she would not be permitted any longer to dance
in Germany.
The reason given was the tumultuous excitement
that her presence everywhere excited among the
people, particularly the socialists, who want every
ting in com mon, and don't believe in pope or pre-
Perty.
who occupies high position in Pr ASIA, writes to
friend in Paris on the subject, as follows
"The opinion Of the people is so decidedly OPP
posed TO the present policy of the government that
fear of ebulition of theatrical audience crack
ing the crust Of the volcano, that induces the
thorities at Berlin to interfere to prevent Lola
Montes' dancing In Germany.
How weak the continental governments must be,
TO fear the pretty face and graceful poses Of dam
